IPod Touch will not update when using iTunes Remote App...

Hi all, hoping that someone can help here...
I am using a couple of iPod Touch's to control my iTunes and Airport via the Remote App. In the main the whole thing works really well with wireless music all over the house via Airport and Apple TV.
The main frustration is that the Touch's have stopped updating as the tracks change. This used to work but unfortunately didn't notice when it stopped.
If I play anything, iTunes DJ, playlist etc... it appears that the first track is the one that displays unless I close the app and re-open.
I can still play/pause/ffwd/rwd and it all works despite what is showing on the screens which is really confusing...
The the two iPhone 4's and the iPad 2 work perfectly so am at a loss as to figure out how/why etc.
I run iTunes on a WinXP machine, with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and the iPod Touch's are both running 4.2.1 (8C148). On is model MB533BT and one is MB528BT.
Any help/suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Thanks all

UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing this I noticed that whilst in the study both iPods updated with each track change for some considerable time. I do wonder whether there is something in this as the router was less than one metre away.
I also then noticed that the one that stopped updating was the 8Gb model MB528BT. The other unit, the 32Gb MB533BT has continued to work.
Completely flummoxed with this!

  • Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

    My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • TS1717 ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store

    can some one tell my why the ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store - just says it can not connect.

    Hello, rumisha. 
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot the connection to the iTunes store you are experiencing on your iPod Touch.  Scroll to the section labeled Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Attempt to connect to another wifi network to see if the issue persists as this could be the cause.

    Also, check the date and time.  I have attached a screen shot as this could cause an issue if not set correctly.

  • Ipod touch will not update!

    My ipod touch will not let me update to the most current software or even restore my ipod to factory settings. It will let me download, but when it is done and ready to install I get a message "There was a problem downloading the ipod software. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Does anyone know what this means? I never seemed to have a problem until I downloaded that January update a few months ago.
    I even tried reinstalling itunes but that did not help. Any help or suggestions are appreciated

    Hi Ed, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think you'd have far better luck in the iPod touch section, or maybe the Windows part...

  • My iPod Touch will not update... Please help me!

    I have an iPod Touch 8gb model MC540LL and it will not update.  My iTunes program is 10.6 but every time I attempt to download and update the iPod I get the same message "The network connection could not be established." I've tried almost everything I know, even resetting the iPod's factory settings, but that won't work either, it recieves the same infernal message.  Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
    Oh!  And the iPod acts like it no longer has iTunes on it.

    If not successful also try changeint he DNS. See.

  • My 4th Generation iPod Touch Will Not Back-Up On iTunes

    My iPod Touch will not back up. I have the newest version of iTunes and my iPod Touch is running iOS 6 and sometimes it won't sync or even be recongnized as a device. iTunes says my last back up was on August 27th, and I've synced it multiple times since then. It is critical that I find a solution soon, because if the last backup was on the 27th, that means the software backed up is 5.1.1, and I'm selling my current iPod on eBay and it ships next week as I await the new iPod Touch and I need to restore from that backup! I cannot start as a new iPod Touch. Any solutions?

    Type " Apple Mobile Device service" into the search bar at the top of this screen next to "Support" and see if the resulting articles help.

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

    Hello weather1,
    I understand that some of your devices are not recognized by iTunes. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

  • IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

    Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.

  • My iPod touch will not connect to the itunes app!

    Hi, my ipod touch(4th generation) will not connect to the itunes app, app store, or the internet. It is connected to my wifi and shows full bars with connectivity. However when I click on the itunes app it takes to a blank white screen and says it is loading. It stays on that screen for about 5 minutes and then a little blue box pops up and says unable to connect to itunes store. I don't understand this because I also have an Ipad 2 connected to the same wifi and that has no problem connecting to the itunes store or internet. So I don't understand why my iPad can get on itunes while my iPod can't, when they are on the same wifi connection. Can anyone please help me!!!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod touch will not update from IOS version 6.1.3 to IOS version 7

    Are the previous ipod touch devices not compatible? An ipad the same age updated just fine.

    Only the iPod 5th generation can update to iOS 7. If you have an earlier model then you cannot update to iOS 7.

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
    Thank you Espeon for the article

  • My ipod touch will not charge when I use the FM transmitter.

    I have a FM ransmitter that will play music when I attach my 3rd generation ipod touch but it will not charge it.  But I receive an error message that my ipod doesn't support this device.  I use an adapter but it doesn't work.  I've used this adapter in the past with other FM transmitters and it would charge my ipod.  Thank you.

    I have the same problem, my ipod connects to various wifi networs supplying internet to other devices but I cannot use safari... pages connect/ download endlessly. However Map app works fine. Wifi signals strong.
    I have reset network setting but all this has done is to wipe all my passwords and networks, and I still cannot connect to the internet. Frustrating!
