IPod won't connect with new version of iTunes

After I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, my device wouldn't connect to my computer. After extensive troubleshooting, I have found that my iPod does not respond to the latest version of iTunes. When I un-install iTunes, my iPod connects. When I try re-installing, it will disconnect. I downloaded an older version of iTunes, and it stayed connected. However, when I went to open iTunes, a pop-up came up and said it couldn't open because my library was updated by a newer version. So, I'm at  a loss of what to do. Someone please help! Thanks in advance!

Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

  • I cant' sync my ipod because it says"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. I can't download it because my MAC is version 10.5.8 and it won't accept the newer version of itunes. Any suggestions?

    If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

  • 3rd gen ipod won't connect with firewire.

    3rd gen ipod won't connect to itunes with firewire. USB connects rarely but drains battery quickly. I've rebooted the ipod and computer and updated itunes. No effect. Any remedies besides buying a new ipod.

    Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
    Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?

  • Sync "old" iPod Nano with new version of iTunes

    My old computer crashed and I lost iTunes. So I downloaded iTunes 7 on my new computer but now I'm having problems with my nano. When I plug in the nano I can see the songs in iTunes, but I can't do anything with them (delete, etc.) iTunes keeps telling me that my nano is "synced" with another version of iTunes but I don't have that version anymore.
    I really hope somebody can help me out with this!

  • Gray ! on 100 records when I sync with new version of iTunes 10.2.1.1

    I have a Ipod classic 30g. I have 4079 songs in my iTunes. I am using Windows 7 on an ACER Extensa. I have my music on an external hard drive. The same place it has always been. Since I upgraded to the new version of iTunes when I sync my Ipod it randomly marks 100 records with the gray circle with a ! in it. Showing that it is not connected. I check the songs are still on the drive in the same location. I go into the control panel of my computer use the repair function and all the ! are gone. As soon as I try to sync iTunes selects 100 songs and does not sync them to my Ipod. After the first time I added more songs and there was no change to the number of songs not synced. Any suggestions?

    I only have songs no other media. The specs for my Ipod say it should hold 7500 songs. This problem only started after upgrading to the newest version of iTunes 10.2.1.1

  • Loss of playlists on iPod Classic after upgrading to new version if iTunes

    Everytime I've upgraded to a new version of iTunes, I lose all the playlists (songs,videos,etc) from my iPod Classic. I have to re-sync everytime and with a lot of songs it gets annoying and I don't want to upgrade to new versions. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks.

    I've seen this once before and deleting the playlist and recreating it with a different name solved it.
    Also... try using disk utility to burn a data CD to make sure that burning generally works. Daft I know, but there you go.

  • The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

    For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

    Specific songs from the iTunes Music Store don't play
    Try deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer. Repeat the deauthorization and reauthorization process for any other iTunes Music Store accounts for which your computer is authorized.
    1.Double-click one of your affected iTunes Music Store songs.
    2.Enter your account name and password in the resulting dialog.
    3.Click OK.
    After you've deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, open iTunes, select your iPod, and choose Update iPod from the File menu. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring your iPod.
    After you've restored your iPod, open iTunes, select your iPod, and choose Update iPod from the File menu. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try recreating your iTunes library.

  • Itunes library not compatible with new version of iTunes??

    hey guys and gals,
    when i open itunes, it opens a message saying:
    "the file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
    can anyone help me because I have a **** of alot of music with every information and album art for each song.
    thanks in advance,
    Dean

    I have run into the same problem. Like others here I could get to my library and playlists via the finder. Next I tried re-creating my iTunes library and playlists as described by Article HT1451. This process is easy enough but takes some time if you have a large library. Once I finished the re-creation process my iTunes opened without any problem from the iTunes icon. However if I opened iTunes via the finder, then opening iTunes from the icon went back to the old error message!! Fixing it required another re-creation process. Like others my music and video files are on a separate hard drive. Looks like a bug Apple needs to fix. In the meantime stick with either the icon or the finder but not both. Hope this helps.

  • IPod Won't Update with New Playlists and Audio Only

    My iPod will not update new playlists that have been created or add any audio files from iTunes. Videos come over just fine. Powerbook 12" G4 with 10.4.4, iTunes 6.0.2. Latest iPod software, 0106, deleted the old iPod updates. Also, did a hard reset on the iPod.
    Under my administrator test login, playlists and songs come over fine, but I can't seem to get it to work in my regular account. Any idea what do do without reformatting my hard drive and reloading software?

    I also just started having this trouble on my 6 month old nano. I have it set to automatically update selected playlists only. I update the songs in those playlists in itunes, then I connect my ipod to my PC. The ipod and itunes say it is updating, but when done the same old songs are on the playlists in the ipod. Itunes does show the correct playlists with the update songs, they just don't seem be updating on the ipod, even though there seems to be a good connection and the ipod says it is updating when plugged into the PC. Any thoughts?

  • Having issues with new version of iTunes and my iPod...

    I recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes, and now I can't view my iPod's songs or add songs to my iPod through iTunes. Whenever I click on my iPod, iTunes freezes up and I have to close it. In fact, sometimes iTunes freezes up as I'm playing songs.
    Any help with this?

    download, install, and run the latest iPod updater. Even if it does not contain new versions for your model, it will re-install a fresh copy of the software and might shake loose anything that has become stuck.
    If you have all your music on the computer (and you should for occasions just like this), use the "restore" option, it will wipe the hard drive of the iPod, but helps out the most.

  • Hi I can't sync my ipod with new version of itunes after losing old pc

    Hi my old pc crashed and burned taking with it my entire itunes library.  thought i'd backed up onto external hard drive but can't find anything.  Atleast i still have a full ipod.  However i've downloaded itunes onto my new laptop and when i try to sync with my ipod to put those tunes into the libray it says 'this ipod is synced with another itunes library.  do you want to erase this ipos and sync with this itunes library'.  If i do that i have nothing left.  How can i 'un sync' the old computer that is no longer in existence. Hope someone can help, would be a shame to lose everything! Thanks Mary

    Apple Mobile Device Support is part of the itunes install package. To install it by itself would require downloading itunes to your desktop then using something like WinRar to extract it. Quite frankly, trying to go this route can create more problems than you have right now. Something in your system is preventing AMDS from being installed. Your USB drivers up to date? Install any webcams lately? When you try to reinstall itunes, are your firwalls. ant-virus, ant-malware disabled? If I were you, I'd look at this stuff first. If you want to try & install AMDS separately, I've told you how, but I don't recommend it.

  • 3rd gen iPod won't connect with firewire...how can I restore it?

    As many others have had this problem, my iPod only charges when connected with firewire. When I connect with USB, it says "Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings"
    When I try the iPod Software Updater, it says I need to connect via Firewire.
    Question 1: Any ideas on how to restore the iPod?
    Question 2: Any ideas on how to get the firewire functional again?
    Many thanks in advance
