Itunes 7.1.1 - ipod connects with "set up your ipod"

everytime I connect my ipod to my laptop, itunes presents the, famous to me now, "Set up Assistant" window. I hit the cancel button b/c I'm afraid it may erase my ipod contents if I press anything else.
This "Set up Assistant Window" magically appeared one day when I connected my ipod. I went to Disk Utility for a disk verification of both laptop and ipod and they both passed verification.
I'm wondering if it is something I did? I may just go ahead with one of the other options the next time I get the "Set Up Assistant" screens, just to see what happens. I have my ipod backed up, but if it's glitch with itunes or something I can fix easily, i'd rather not erase my ipod. Any suggestions or help, please?

No, the only way to locate an apple device is with find my iphone, it works for iphone, ipad, ipod touch, and macs. See iCloud: Find My iPhone overview

Bought Snow Leopard in order to download iTunes 11 in order to connect with iOS 7 iPhone, doesn't support iTunes 11

My problems started when I upgraded my iPhone's software to iOS 7.
I have moved from Melbourne, VIC to Perth, WA and my PC is in Melbourne. I live with my Girlfriend, and so I mainly use her desktop Mac to connect to iTunes, so you could imagine my surprise when I tried to connect after the fresh update and discovered that my iPhone will no longer connect to iTunes.
It appears as though you need iTunes 11 to connect with a iOS 7 device, which I was not aware of prior to the update. I then learnt that in order to upgrade to iTunes 11 you need OS X 10.6.8 or later.
Now I'm not very proficient with apple products (I always had an iRiver and PC) so while trying to find the right product on the mac store, I got seriously frustrated. Every time I thought I found what I was looking for, I would click "View in the mac store" which would not take me to a buy or download link, rather literally just a showcase of the features. I went in circles for over a **** hour trying to navigate the store. Finally I found the page where I could actually buy the software and found out you can't simple just download the update, you have to order it, which took about a month before it arrived.
I've just installed it ONLY to find it it's 10.6.3! WHICH IS COMPLETELY USELESS TO ME.
I searched for hours, and was assured that Snow Leopard was exactly what I needed to download the new iTunes. I don't know what to do, I'm not like every other apple customer, I don't have a lot of money, and this phone was a gift so the money I used to buy this update actually sent me broke for 2 weeks. Not to mention it's not even for my own computer, I need to know how to get my money back, and WHAT VERSION I NEED TO PUT MUSIC ON THIS **** PHONE.
I'm sorry if I've come off like every other appleh8tr. I just hate when I'm forced to buy something that does a lot of things when I only need it for one specific purpose. I've already had to buy a new charger cable, and after all of this, my account is frozen because I can't pay for a $1 app I tried to download (unsuccessfully)
Please help

T here is a table you can search that has all the various programs and versions

T here are tutorials or were on MacIntouch on what to do.
My advice is always and with Lion even more so to do a clean install, leave the old system as is, use a new drive and format it with Lion, and that way you make a clean break and clean out any carried apps and processes, which you can reinstall if Setup Assistant doesn't.
Expect to do some hardware upgrades as you go along, more RAM, maybe even higher quality, graphic cards, and start wtih a fresh system drive, a new drive for TimeMachine, and a drive to clone your system, clone your user volumes.

ITunes and App Store not connecting with Apple id after iOS 8

After updating to iOS 8.0.2, I have tried updating apps and buying music but nothing happens on my iPhone 5 or my iPad. Can someone help with this? All it shows it the rotating circle saying it's looking or working or whatever but even after logging in with the Apple id nothing works. I can connect my phone to the computer and things update but still shows on phone/iPad after that I still need to update apps.

Hi ,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I am sorry to hear that you cannot connect to or download from the iTunes and App Stores. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please follow the steps and information in the article below.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Have a great day,
Joe

I connect my i-pad mini to my wireless router but when i try to use the internet i get a pop up saying "unable to connect with server. check your internet connection and try again i try and try it still wont work anybody know how to fix this

I connect my i-pad mini to my wireless router and it says im connected but it wont let me do anything anybody know why ?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

My iTunes 10.4 will not open when connected with my iPod Touch (v.4.3.5), however, it used to in the past- can anyone help me? Thanks.

I am curious as to why my iTunes 10.4 won't open when connected with my Touch (v.4.3.5). iTunes used to open when connected with my Touch. Can anyone help me? Thankyou.

I have got a solution, it was shared on another 'apple support coummunity' board:

It worked for me

Blocked my computers connection with itunes/apple...?

This has given me a headache and a half. Techies, please take the time to read through this. I know its complicated...
So, my old ipod was jailbroken. It stopped working so i was determined to unjailbreak it so my warranty would not be voided. I followed this guide to restore it.
http://hackstor.blogspot.com/2010/03/restore-with-saurik-method.html
I have windows, and this guide told me to select start, and then run, and type this in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The guide told me to open the file up through notepad and add this to the bottom of it 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
I did this.. and it then told me to open up run again (terminal for mac users) and type in cmd.exe and the following commands:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
I did this and succesfully restored my ipod touch. I then got a new ipod touch but when i tried to sync it with my computer it wouldnt work. i decided that its because i forced my computer to recognize the jailbroken software, and not apples software. I tried to reinstall itunes. Itunes was reinstalling and the status bar was filled up all the way, as if it was done installing.. but it stayed like this. I decided that its because my computer was still trying to recognize the jailbroken software. I took the line "74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" out of my hosts file and went back to cmd.exe and typed in ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns thinking that it would solve my problem, but now when i go to apple.com and click on download itunes, the link that normally says "DOWNLOAD NOW" is not even there.
Here is a screenshot of my problem
I have somehow completely blocked my computers connection with itunes or apple. I have a new ipod waiting to be synced but i cant even download itunes.. and if i do itunes might not even properly connect with apple. Yes, i made sure my warranty was not voided by restoring my ipod.. but it doesnt help if i cant even use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please read the guide i used to restore my jailbroken ipod so you can understand what i did. I am running windows xp.
Thank you.

Find a friend with a Mac and simply restore it. No need to modify host file. Do a manual install, as outlined in link below.

Various Errors in connection to iTunes on my new HP Laptop with Win7 64bit

I tried to connect my iPhone 3G 16GB with my new HP Pavilion dv7 (intel core i7) Laptop with Windows 7 64 Bit and it fails...
While iTunes synch appears the first error message:
"iTunes was not possible to connect with this iPhone because of an unknown Error. (0xE8000065)"
on the next try i had an other error message:
"It was not possible to synch this iPhone because of an internal device error"
After that the capacity bar below in iTunes says that my iPhone only has 4 GB memory...
The next try ends with other message:
"Not was possible to synch this iPhone. The connection to this device was aborted because of a timeout."
--> then I was trying to synchronize the iphone with my old pc --> also fails.
after that my iPhone was destroyed, every backup that I had was not possible to restore. The last posibility was to restore my iPhone back to factory settings on my old PC and install all the applications again. (all app settings lost...)
after that the iPhone was working correct.
What can be the problem here? I have uninstalled all of the itunes and apple stuff on my laptop to install it again, but this also doesn't help.
Anyone can help me?

Issues such as this may have a number of different causes. The first error (0xE) has an Apple support document to view http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
The timeout error could be caused by a conflict between the security and firewall software you are using and blocking connections, you can look at this document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
When you say that you uninstalled and installed again, did you follow all of the steps in this Apple document? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 You need to make sure that you follow all of the steps.
See if any of these in combination can assist you.

ITune not appear when connect with iphone

iTune not appear when iphone connect with my computer (window 7)

Hello BrightGoh,
Generally for a new and unrelated question you should start a new thread.
Safari on the iPhone doesn't have the ability to download and save .exe files. The iPhone does not have the ability to store files as a storage disk.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If you check the Safari section of the manual starting on page 52, you will notice that there is no mention of being able to save such files.
