Ipod touch connecting to itunes library issues

I updated my ipod touch 4th generation through my settings on my ipod but now it will not connect to my itunes library. It says I need itunes 10.6.3 or higher but my roommate has the same ipod and a mac aswell as I do and she didn't have any troubles.My itunes says I dont have any new upgrades so I downloaded itunes 10.7 from apple.com but then it said I needed the newest mac 0s x and to get that I have to buy snow leopard and I dont have the money for that right now. I have an aluminum macbook from 2009. It has all its most recent updates that it can without purchase. How do I get my music on my ipod???

iOS 6 requires

PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later

  • Remote App on IPod Touch Connect to ITunes on Win7

    Is anyone having a problem making the Remote APP on ipod touch connect to ITunes on Win7 over WiFi? Itunes sees it alright, asks for a Passcode which the ipod supplies, considers it and then says it is invalid. I'm open to suggestions.

    Yes it is, I click on the "Remote" button, type the passcode into iTunes, it thinks for a while then comes back and says "invalid passcode". The two are communicating or iTunes wouldn't show the "Remote" button or display the passcode entry window.

  • Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
    I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
    iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
    I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
    I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
    I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
    On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
    So my questions are
    1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
    2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
    P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
    ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
    CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
    VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
    Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

    Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version?  I would delete the download and try again.  You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

  • Transferring an old library on my iPod touch to new iTunes library

    Hi - please help me!
    My laptop broke last year, I think I managed to turn it back on to deauthorize the iTunes account on it but I can't quite remember.
    A few months ago I bought a new laptop (windows vista). I have all my old downloaded iTunes music and playlists on my iPod touch, but when I connect it to my new laptop I cannot add any new music that I am downloading. I need some help with transferring all my old library onto my new laptop to integrate my old and new music- until then I can't add any new music to my iPod!
    I love my old music - refuse to part with it so any advice would be GREAT thank you!

    1st try logging into your account and go to the option, check for avaible downloads. If that dosn't work try plugging your ipod in and it should come up with an option saying transfers songs from perd16 iPod or whatever the name of your iPod is. If none of these helps. Try emailing me at [email protected] and I will help you more there.

  • How can I sync my ipod touch my old itunes library?

    I had orginially synched my itunes library on my work laptop(macbook pro). Now I have changed jobs I would like to synch my ipod touch onto my home laptop (Dell Windows). However, I have already got an itunes library on my home machine (only ten or so songs). I don't want this library anymore, I want to synch the tunes I have got on my ipod touch. I have some purchased tunes but mostly they are from my own CD collection. I also have loads of apps and photos/videos on my itouch. As well as this I need to upgrade my ipod touch to iOS 5.
    So...I don't think I can transfer my tunes, apps, photos/videos from my ipod touch to my home computer's itunes library and therefore cannot upgrade my ipod touch to iOS5.
    Can anybody help me find a way to transfer my ipod content onto my home laptop? All my content is purchsed from CDs, Appstore, itunes or my own photo video collection.
    Hope someone can help!
    Cheers

  • I am adding songs to my ipod touch from my itunes library and a lot of the songs that i tried to add are faded on my ipod and will not play. it is like they weren't added to my ipod even though i can see it is there.

    The songs will play in my itunes library but they won't transfer onto my ipod correctly. For some of the congs, I just have to locate the file and readd the song to itunes, but a lot of the songs, I don't know what the problem is.

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • How to get music from an iPod Touch to an iTunes library, even if some of the music wasn't purchased from the iTunes Store

    So I just got a new laptop,
    I downloaded iTunes
    I Authorized the computer and all that,
    I transported my purchases from my account and all went well,
    But I just want to know if it's possible to take the music from my iPod Touch 4 and put in on the laptops iTunes library?
    I have a Windows laptop
    The songs that I have on the iPod aren't from the iTunes Store and I've been looking for ways to try different things but nothing is working

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    If you want free try MediaMonkey to extract the media and the two scripts near the end to recover ratings and playlists.

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

  • Can I transfer my music from my iPod Touch to my iTunes library?

    So my computer (and my backup external hard drive) was stolen. With it went all my music. Most of this music was ripped from CD, and I don't have the CDs anymore, so the music is just gone. I still have my whole library on my iPod Touch 4G, so I was hoping there is a good way to transfer my music from the iPod to the new iTunes. The iPod is jailbroken, but I would prefer to use a "legit" method instead of some jailbreak hack. Does anyone know of a good way to transfer my library?
    Thanks!

    Oh, never mind...figured out what I needed to know elsewhere. Should have done more research first!

  • Audio book bookmarks will be deleted if the iPod touch connects to iTunes

    Hello everybody,
    since I updated my iPod touch to OS version 3.0 the bookmarks of my audio books will be deleted if I connect the player to iTunes.
    It´s really very annoying because it isn´t easy to find the location on the audio book I stopped before. So I have to write down the chapter information before connecting to iTunes. In some cases I forget it and I must begin to search. Even everybody who hears audio books knows that this is difficult and mostly you hear a passage ones more.
    I have searched for a feature like it but I can´t find a function in iTunes which controlls this behavior.
    I will be very grateful if there ist anybody who helps me. I have wrote this problem in some german forums but without any success. It seems that I am the one and only person with this problem.
    Please excuse if there are any "language-bugs" - I am a german guy.
    Thanks for help!

  • 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes library??

    My girlfriend and I were wondering how we can set up 2 playlists on itunes with 1 computer. We want to have 1 shared itunes but have different songs on eachother's ipods. Any help with this please?

    Set up different playlists and sync only the playlist(s) you want.
    Add/delete from these playlists to change what you have on your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Tick *Sync music* and choose *Selected playlists* then tick the playlist(s) you want on your iPod.
