  • My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

  • Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?

    This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3.  Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working.  The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store.  Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play.  When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped.  If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing.  Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem.  All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files.  I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product.  However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update.  If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 My iPod don't have software update link under general menu? How do you update the latest version

    My iPod don't have software update link under general tab How do you update the latest version?

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • My new 8th gen iPod nano is 'not recognized' by my computer. My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting...

    My computer runs on Windows 7, and I've installed and updated the latest versions of itunes etc, but still to no avail! I've tried different usb ports, troubleshooting, etc... But it still says "One of the USB decuces arrached to this omputer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it".
    The iPod is brand new, sent to me by Apple as part of the 1st gen replacement programme. I've been using the cable that came with the 1st gen iPod (I bought the first gen second hand) It always worked on my computer with the 1st gen iPod. So I was wondering, do you think I need to replace my cable in order for my PC to recognize my iPod or is it something else?
    Thanks

    Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

  • My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

  • Iphone 5s error when updating the latest version of ios.

    I'Ve updated to the 8.0 version and some apps did not open. Now I've updated the 8.0.2 version and the minute i accepted terms and conditions the screen went black with the apple. Till then it was ok for me. But then it started flahing to a blue screen. Its not respondindg to the update correctly. Since then its been like four hours and its still the same.

    Hi virgiinita,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that your iPhone will not boot up after updating the iOS version.  First, I'd like you to please try and reset the device.  If the issue persists, then you will need to put the device into recovery mode, and restore it to its factory settings.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • How to update the itune version on my new iphone?

    how do I update the itune version on my new G4 iphone?

    iTunes is not available on an iPhone, but an iPod is.
    Which iOS version is your iPhone running?
    The current iOS version for a GSM iPhone is 4.3.5. If you have a GSM iPhone and your iPhone is running 4.3.5, your iPhone is running the most updated version of everything included with the OS.
