I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

I upgraded to iTunes 11.0. My iPod Nano 4th Version will sync, but music and playlists will not appear to manage and add more songs. Is there a fix?

If I go from 'Devices' to Summary and then Music, I only get one option-Sync Music,There is a box on this page but the options within it are grayed out. If I tick the Sync Music option I get this message-
'Are you sure you want to remove existing music,films,ect, from this ipod and sync with this itunes library?
'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Iphone and 3 ipods not registering with iTunes since upgrading to version 10.4!

Good day and thanks for your help. AppleCare has been unable to solve or identify my problem. Since upgrading to version 10.4 I am unable to have my iphone or ipods be recognized in iTunes. I have deleted and reloaded iTunes four times, as instructed by my AppleCare tech. I still cannot see any devices in iTunes. I am running a Dell Latitude D620 with XP, Service Pack 3. My device manager shows all USB ports are active and working properly. I have tried multiple Apple sync cables. My phone and cable work fine on my wife's laptop, so I do not believe it is a hardware issue with the cable or phone.
I heard a rumor that I need USB 2.0 ports for version 10.4. I believe my ports are version 1. Is this true? If so, how can I find and reinstall iTunes version 10.3.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I am extremely frustrated by this process!

2G Ipod Touch - iOS 3.1.3 - ITunes 10.1 - Can't upgrade to version iOS4.2.

I hope someone can offer any information about how I can get my Ipod upgraded. When I run Itunes, I get the message that 3.1.3 is already the current version. I have tried reinstalling ITunes, completely resetting my Ipod. I am certain that my device is a 2G device since I got it February 2008. Is there some kind of .ini file that causes Itunes to always search for a particular version? I know others have had similar issues but I have never been able to find a simple explanation about this. Please, any help or assistance will be greatly helpful also, where can I find out whether my device is actually 2G. I don't have Apple Care so the Apple website is useless to me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to version 4.3 but cannot figure out how

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 software that I need to upgrade to 4.3. How can I do this? I cannot download apps without the upgrade.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

HT1386 I have upgraded my ipod touch to version 6.1.3 & i can't sync my music, videos, photos,books as well as apps! What shoukd I do?

Yesterday, I upgraded my version to 6.1.3 & i have upgraded my itunes to the latest version, but then, yesterday, i got all my music back when i sync it.
But today when i sync it back, the same situation occurs again. What should I do?
First, Waiting to sync appeares, then, preparing to sync, then syncing contacts & when the determining shows, it suddenly disappear after that .
i'm really frustrated about this situation & I do not know what to do.

Installation cannot directly upgrade the version of iPod software found

As best I can tell this question was asked but not answered:
Msg. installing iTunes 7.X reads: "The installation cannot directly upgrade the version of iPod software found on this computer. Please uninstall the iPod software and try again." All references to iPod, iTunes, QuickTime removed from Add/Remove, C:Program Files and recycle bin. Got rid of same with Window Cleanup Installer utility whe add/remove did not work.
So,nothing to uninstall? Can't buy a new iPod since can't load iTunes 7.x and Apple loses sale (and me music)
Can load iTunes 6.X fine without a problem.
Thank you.

Okay.
Let's try getting an iTunes 7 installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Installation cannot directly upgrade the version of ipod software?

the installation cannot directly upgrade the version of ipod software found on this computer.
go into your Add/Remove programs, and uninstall every entry you find in there called "ipod for windows [date]" or "ipod updater [date]".
if Add/Remove won't let you remove one of those, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to remove the installation configuration of any entries called "ipod for windows [date]" or "ipod updater [date]".

How to Upgrade from version 4.7 to version 4.9 for iPod Mini

Hi all,
I need to upgrade from iTunes V4.7 to V4.9 for my Acura Music Link for my iPod Mini. I don't see any reason to go to the most recent version, as most of the features aren't supported by my player - correct?
I found a file installer for V4.9 here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
Is this "safe" to use? Is there a procedure I should follow?
Sorry if its here but I searched and didn't find it.
Thanks in advance.

Its usually best to update to the most recent version of any program as there will be small bug fixes and such a new version will address and fix.

Can't run installer - says can't upgrade current version of ipod

I have been trying to update iTunes. I have the most recent version, and the most recent software on my ipod (5th Gen. ver. 1.1.2 and am using the 6/28/06 updater). When I click on the downloaded file, I get the message "This installation cannot directly upgrade the version of ipod software found on this computer.Please uninstall the software and try again." Last night I went to "Remove programs" and removed all the ipod software. Still got the message. I then did a file search and removed anything I found with ipod, and went into msconfig and unchecked anything ipod. I still got the same message when I tried to update. I went back and installed the last (6/28) updater again so I could use my ipod with itunes again until this is figured out.
Any ideas?

And run that and uninstall "Ipod for Windows" after you do that run the Itunes 7.0 Install and it works.

I currently have iTunes version 7 and I need to upgrade to version 10. I am afraid of losing all my music if I just download 10 and when I use the "Check for updates" in the version 7 help menu, it tells me the server cannot be contacted.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?

Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:
