Ipod software not working, so cannot sync ipod on 64-bit Vista

It took me a while to find the 64-bit version of iTunes (which is mentioned on this site but i couldn't find it, found it elsewhere).
So now i want to sync my ipod (i moved from a XP computer to this one, so I've synced before). On this entire site i could not find ipod software that was up to date, so I had to use my REALLY old software CD, which i doubted would work with iTunes 8. So i installed, rebooted, plugged in ipod, and it says my iPod software wasn't installed properly, and to reinstall iTunes. Bear in mind this is the 2006 iPod software.
So without the software i cannot sync my ipod. Installing iTunes with the cd (iPod + iTunes) will give me the 32-bit version of iTunes. What can i do?
btw i tried disk mode, didn't work, since the software wasn't installed.

Since I don't have Windows XP or Windows Vista 64, I didn't try to answer your question, and there apparently weren't any other users here with this issue. Since we are all doing this voluntarily I didn't realize there was any obligation to answer your question.
And if you are using a 64-bit browser and you download iTunes it will install the 64-bit version.

    Check your firewall settings and any anti virus software you have (especially if it's McAfee). Try with these off.

  • Ipod software not working

    The CD that came with my ipod is not working, is it not running any type of software when I insert it into my computer to put my ipod on my computer, is there any link or any other place I can go in order to download the proper software to connect my ipod to my computeR? PLEASE help!

    my dad had to reset our computer and he wiped it clean. So I redownloaded Itunes and it tells me i need to insert the CD i got when i bought it, but i can't find it anywhere, so it tells me to go to apple.com and download it there. i don't know what it is called or what it does so i can't find it. If anyone has any help please let me know. Thanks!!!

  • After successful installation of iTunes 10.6.1, iTunes will not open.  Tried complete uninstall and reinstall, still not working.  Cannot sync iPad or access iTunes at all.  Any suggestions?

    After successfully installing the iTunes upgrade to 10.6.1, Now I cannot open and access itunes.  I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall and it is still not working. I have looked through many support communities for answers.  I added an iPad 2 almost a year ago and all was fine until my upgrade to the "cloud services" and upgrade to new version.  I have been without iTunes on my PC for a month.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

  • IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

    My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
    BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
    Heeeelp!!!!

    I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!

Here's the deal I did that now the Ipod just blinks the circle with the line through it and says do not disconnect. Nothing happens. Has the new software corrupted my Ipod? Can anyone Help

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

  • Any other option besides restore? ipod software not recognized.....

    I have an 80gb 5th gen. Using it with my Windows XP it was fine. I recently got a Windows Vista HP laptop and it worked fine until today, when I plugged it in and transfered music, iTunes froze midway. So I unplugged the iPod and iTunes closed. I plugged it in again and the blue screen came up saying there was a memory dump needed and it restarted the PC.
    Additionally to crashing my PC, it messed up my iPod software so now I cannot listen to music or videos. The files are still on the iPod when I check through disk mode, but when I use the iPod itself no songs or movies show up. Some of the songs on the iPod when viewed through disk mode are also unrecognized when played through windows media player, a few are fine however but still do not show up on the iPod.
    The files are still there when you use disk mode, but when you use the iPod no files show up. When I plug in my iPod to iTunes it says the iPod files are not readable by iTunes and that I must restore my iPod to company settings. Is there any way I can repair my iPod without having to restore it and erase all my music/videos, I have 74GB of media and some things are not on my computer anymore. Is it possible to restore the iPod to an earlier savepoint? I do not know if the iTunes program automatically creates backup points but if there is a way please let me know. I am very very reluctant to restore my iPod to company settings so help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

    I have exactly the same problem i use a 60 GB video ipod which shows that i tunes cant play content from the ipod when i connect it to any computer after connecting to the HP laptop that had vista on it. so please if someone knows how to fix it without loosing the media from the ipod tell me how to do it! i got 6500 songs on there!

  • My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign

    My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

    The link I and Ingo provided included:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    That is more than quicktime and iTunes.  Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

  • IPod (5G) and iPod (Classic) Not Working

    _*iPod 5G:*_
    I bought the iPod 5G 2-3years back ago. It was working all fine. Few months back I accidentally dropped the iPod. After this, the iPod was not working at all. None of the buttons works. But i am still able to put in on HOLD or even restart/put to disk mode. I am using it as a 80gb External Hard Drive.
    *iPod Classic (120GB):*
    I bought this iPod from Bangkok in December 2008. Later, in March, used to restart by itself and freeze suddenly when a track is being played. I had some tracks on it then. Whenever i try to play any track it showed the time 00:00 and started to play that particular track after this 'click' sort of sound from the inside, possibly from the hard drive. It even freezes during the RESTART process. So I had to bring it to a stable condition by restarting it during it is being restarted. My computer is not able to identify it. I have tried to restore it a couple of times now. Sometimes, I am able to get through the RESTORE process but most of the time my mac/ipod freeze together and wont come back to normal until and unless the usb wire is pulled out forcefully. Well, whenever iTunes recognizes it, I try to sync music. I have about 200 tracks in this one playlist. Whenever i try to sync it, the ipod freezes together with my mac. The sync process stops without copying all the tracks to my ipod. After that the screen goes black and then comes back with a dull APPLE logo displayed.
    +Information on iPod Shuffle:+
    My dad is going to Bangkok tomorrow. I asked him to get me a Shuffle. The new one that talks. I use the ipod mainly in my car (using the aux). There are no buttons on the Shuffle as everything in situated in cable of the ear phones. How am i going to use the controls if my connect the AUX (from my car's stereo) to my iPod? I wont be able to change tracks, pause or even shut down the ipod. Another thing is that whenever the ear phone plug is disconnected from the ipod, while it is playing a track, the track gets automatically paused.
    This is very long, consumed a lot of time for you to read/for me to write. I guess making it longer would help me to kill time as I am running a ZERO OUT format on the 2nd ipod I own. :P
    Thank You,
    Samin

  • Cannot sync iPod after hard drive crash

    Hard drive crashed last week so reinstalled new from Dell. Data all backed up. Since new drive in cannot sync iPod. USB cable OK, iTunes "sees" iPod name and can download to iTunes but no sync. Do not get any kind of error msg that iPod registered on "another" computer (which it was). Still under warranty.

    Try restoring the iPod in itunes. This should assure that it sync with the current computer it's hooked up to.
