Itunes 7.6 won't let me use my ipod with windows...

I keep getting an error message that says
"The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
I can't update my Windows to XP service pack 2 because my computer is old and fussy, (to be technical about it) so because of this I can't update to itunes 7.6 and my itunes won't recognize my ipod without updating to it. Is there any way I can reset my ipod to an earlier version so it will run with my itunes?
Or am I just going to have to suck it up and reformat my computer?

    What does won't let you use them mean exactly?

  • Using an iPod with Windows Me

    As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
    So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
    This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?

    groans
    I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
    I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

  • HT1353 How to use older iPod with Windows 7 & latest iTunes?

    I have ipod classic 5th generation 30g that still has a lot of my music on it.  My computer with iTunes version that synched with it crashed.  New VAIO Windows 7 laptop can't recognize the hardware.  Where can I get a driver for the VAIO Windows 7?  Can I use my iPod with the latest iTunes?  Will I ever be able to load new music to this older iPod? 

    I fixed this by un-installing iTunes.  Next installed latest version for 64bit Windows 7.  Opened iTunes and connected my iPod to my laptop using the USB cable.  The driver was automatically updated and iTunes was able to recognize the older iPod and copied all my purchased music to iTunes on my new VAIO.
    Yeaaa!

  • Ok I got my computer worked on so I had to reinstall itunes now everything is gone on my itunes and it won't let me sync my ipod not sure what to do

    Ok I got my computer worked on to remove viruses so I had to reinstal itunes now everythings gone from my itunes tried to sync my ipod it won't sync my music ,apps, or pictures back to itunes it says an ipod should only be synced with one itunes library and im supposed to have only one it gives me a choice to erase  and sync or tranfer purchases so I click tranfer purchases so I get a error message itunes was unable to load class information from sync services Reconnect or try later I am not sure what to do.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After all the stuff is on your computer, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • ITunes account balance $25 with iTunes card but won't let me use it...

    Ok I got 25 bucks in my iTunes account, but when I try to download somthing with my phone it tries to charge it to my debit card which has nothing on it. How can I resolve this problem???

    You had a purchase total of $25.95 but a credit of only $25.00, so the iTunes Store will try to put the extra $.95 on another form of payment before it can process the order. If the card fails, the Store will hold a "balance due". If you redeemed another prepaid card, the amount due would probably be taken out of the total. If you fix the problem with your debit card, the balance due will probably then be automatically billed to the debit card, though I'm not sure.
    I don't know why the iTunes Store isn't accepting your Missouri access card, but it's apparent that it's not an iPhone problem. If nothing on this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/creditcard/
    helps, use the form at the bottom of that page to contact the iTunes Store about the problem.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • TS3297 I have a ballance on an ITunes card, it shows up in ITunes, but it won't let me purcas with it.  ? How can I use my ballance

    How come ITunes won't let me use the ballance from an ITunes card to purchase music?  It keeps asking me for my credit card info when I have a ballance that shows up when I sign into ITunes.

    Morning BBunny495,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you buy an album on the iTunes Store:
    Gift certificate, prepaid card, and allowance credits are used first.
    If your gift certificate, prepaid card, or allowance credit is less than the total cost of the purchase, your credit card is billed for the remaining balance.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    You can create an itunes store account that does not ask for credit card.

  • HT204053 I just put a $25 iTunes card on my account but it won't let me use it. It just keeps asking me for credit card info

    I just put a $25 iTunes card on my account but it won't let me use it. It just keeps asking me for credit card info

    Is it an account that you've just created ? If it is, then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card's details after entering them.
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054

    I often use credit card for iTunes but also use iTunes but systems won't let me change back to my iTunes. I have redeemed and gives me a balance but I am unable to access.

    If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back?

    i upgraded my Itunes to the latest version and now it won't let me view my library with the column browser. Can i get that back? I tried using the shortcut for it and nothing happens. When I try to do it from the view menu, it shows up as something I can't click on. The new library format is driving me crazy and I just want to get back to the old library view.

    We need to sort out some facts here first:
    •  You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5.  What Mac is it?  What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
    •  What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
    •  Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
    •  Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
    1)  partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
    2)  install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

  • On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?

    On the fifa 14 iTunes app it won't let me turn on device music, how can I get this to work?
    I have bought full access to it.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
