  • How to connect ipod touch to itunes on Mac OS 10.4.11

    My desktop (Tiger Mac OS 10.4.11) will not recognize my ipod touch in itunes thus preventing downloading of music to the ipod. The ipod is recognized in iphoto and is brought up automatically when attached to the desktop. The connection is via usb directly to the desktop. Are there any ideas on a fix for this problem?

    If the iPod has iOS 4.2 or greater you need to upgrade the operating system on the computer. To find version go to Settings>General>About>Version
    IOS 4. to iOS 5 requires OSX 10.5.8 or greater
    iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 or later
    If you have a 4G with IOS 6 10.5.8 may work. See:
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    OSX 10.6.8 requires a Mac with an Intel processor
    To purchase the OSX upgrade disks you have to call Apple since they are not listed in the on-line store.

  • I am not able to sync my ipod touch with itunes.

    Hi,
    Whenever i try to sync my ipod touch with itunes. I get the an error "The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start".
    The sync process could not be started.
    I am facing these issues from the day when i upgraded my ipod touch to ios 5.0.1
    itunes version on my PC: 10.5.1.42
    Operating system: Windows XP SP2
    Please let me know how can i overcome this problem.

    Take the old hard drive and try one of the data recovery programs like Data Rescue 3 and others.
    Apple didn't in the past support re download of purchased material.
    And there are so many ways to backup data, clone a drive, archive, from the free to the built-in to the more expensive.
    I keep the OS on one drive, media files and data on another drive, and a good 1.5TB drive today costs $109. Paragon has backup, clone (makes a full boot drive, not an 'image' such as Acronis or Ghost) so you can use it almost like a daily or weekly mirror.
    Depends on the software and data lost and cost of recovery programs and services, but it may be possible. Put the drive in a USB case perhaps and a new drive to recover the files to.

  • Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing Is there a fix for UConnect issue?

    Since my IPOD Touch upgraded to IOS 8.1.2 it will not play well with my 2013 Charger's UConnect entertainment system. It will not build a library so I can not Browse or Shuffle. The only thing it does is list all the songs alphabetically when connected via USB.

    - Contact the manufacturer/go to their support site.
    - Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Sometimes and ISO update breaks compatibioity and a firmware update the the dock is required or an iOS update is required.
    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • Transferring music from iPod Touch to iTunes?

    Hi--
    I was going to put iOS 5 onto my iPod touch, but iTunes mentioned that I could lose all my data. Over half of the songs I have on my iPod are not on my computer, as I lost a large amount of it when my other hard drive died a while ago. They were not iTunes purchases, so I can't automatically put them back into iTunes.
    I found this tutorial: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329 on the Apple support for putting music into iTunes from an iPod, but it specifies that it doesn't work with the iPod touch. Has anyone found a solution to this? All I've seen so far are $20 converting-type programs that generally have iffy reviews. It seems odd that Apple would provide a solution for this problem for everything but the iPod touch.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kat

    Thanks for your answer, you were really helpful. It was such a great use of my time to read it, and the information you provided was very valuable.
    Unfortunately, as I am studying abroad in France right now, I had to leave my back up at home. I decided not to mention that, as that was extraneous information as far as the question goes, as well as the fact that I don't want to risk shipping my external hard drive, nor do I want to wait a year before upgrading to iOS5. I was merely wondering if anyone who had encountered this as well had any helpful suggestions -- i.e., free programs they used, or if there was a way of accessing the iPod touch through finder.
    Thanks again, though, for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • All of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes it the checkbox next to sync apps is UNchecked. should i check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?

    all of my apps are in iTunes AND on my iPod Touch. in iTunes, under my iPod, the checkbox next to 'sync apps' (in the Apps page under my iPod) is Unchecked. if I check it, all my apps will be all over the place and I will waste hours trying to get it back to the way it was. I don't really have a reason to check the box but I don't know. should I check the box and have to reorganize all my apps or leave it "un-synced"?
    by "un-synced" I mean how it is on my iPod and iTunes at the same time but its not synced
    this happened b/c I had to make a new user acct on my only [Windows 7] computer and when i clicked transfer purchases, this happened.
    any help would be greatly appreciated
    And as you can see ( besides my problem here) i am out of dropbox space. it would be nice if you can click http://db.tt/TQiPs59V to make an acct to give me and you more space

    You should ALWAYS make sure that everything is on your computer and backed up, most especially before any update. The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.
    If you have failed to do this, then you need to redownload:

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • Need help syncing new ipod touch to Itunes.

    I recently bought a brand new Ipod touch 5th gen. I have the latest update for itunes, I want to start syncing music to my Ipod. My computer will not bring any info for this ipod touch into itunes. I had a 4th gen and I know that I seen on the right hand corner, under the search store, there should be a little icon with your Ipod below. No where is my Ipod been found. Every time I plug the USB cord into the computer, I don't see anything come on the screen. All I see is the battery charging on my Ipod. I'm getting frustrated with this Ipod not allowing me to get any music. What am I doing wrong? I also don't see any summary pane for me to reset to factory settings and start all over. how can someone help me on this? I tried turning on and off both the Ipod and computer, nothing, still the same and no Ipod is to be found on itunes.  PLEASE HELP!!

    Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
