Itunes can't connect to my ipod touch after being upgraded to 3.1.1

I have just upgraded my ipod touch gen2 and it can't be recharged nor synced with itunes due to some unknown errors (that's what the message box says).

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Can't connect to wifi ipod touch 4 only when using WPA2

    I recentrly upgraded my router to a MI424WR Rev I. Since then an iPod Touch 4 can't connect to the wifi. While this is occurring I can connect to the same wifi 2 ASUS laptops, 1 Samsung laptop, 1 Dell laptop, 1 iPad, 1 iPhone5, 1 iPhone 5c, 1 ipod touch 3, and 1 Android tablet. The only thing that can't connect is the ipod touch 4. The device can connect to wifi at school, where no passord is needed, and other places like that. It jsut keeps showing the erros "incorrect password" and can't connect at home. I've tried used a fixed channel -1,6,11- as opposed to automated but with the same results.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Note that there are different types of resets on Apple devices.  Not all resets delete WiFi info.  "Forget Network" will cause an iThing to forget all passwords and network settings.  The next time you connect, it will start over.  If you haven't tried "Forget Network," give it a whirl.
    Good Luck.

  • I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled.  Now it is asking for pasword, can I cancel this so I don't have to use a password?

    I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode?  I still cant remember the passcode.  How do I go past this?

    You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • Itunes could not connect to the ipod touch because it is locked with a passcode.  How do I put the passcode in?

    itunes could not connect to the ipod "ipod touch" because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on the ipod before it can be used with itunes.  How do you do this when the ipod shows the cord and itunes on the screen?

    Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • "Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

    I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
    Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

  • Can't connect brand new iPod touch 4th gen to iTunes, please help!

    I just got a new iPod touch, 16 gig 4th generation. I'm going through the setup process. Once I get to the option to connect through a network, I hit a problem. My internet at home requires a MAC address to be "invited" into the network before I can connect, however I can't get the MAC address until I complete setup!
    So I choose the "Connect to iTunes" option instead. My computer recognizes that there is an iPod connected to it, but iTunes won't pick it up. There is nothing under "Devices".
    What do I do?? ):

    I just retried a step I missed earlier in the articles before and ran into a problem here:
    #5 Verify that the apple mobile devi usb driver is installed
    > for windows 7
    > if the apple mobile device usb driver is not listed
    > if only Apple iPod appears
    > for windows 7
    I went through all these steps until #8: Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. At this point it tries to load for a bit and I get this message:
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
    Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
    As for your reply, I did indeed already try removing and reinstalling all the Apple programs with unfortunately no effect.
    When I do the sync test, I get that one or more things failed: iTunes Helper not running and No iPod found.

  • ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

    Ugh.  Here I go again.
    I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates. 
    My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
    (1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch.  I managed to get that fixed.
    (2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined."  A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
    (3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch.  I have 600-800 albums.  All of the artwork is correct on iTunes.  About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch.  (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
    If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
    Does anyone have a more direct solution?  Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs?  (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
    Any ideas?  All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

    Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere.  It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400.  Weird.

  • How many devices can you connect on your IPOD touch 4th gen with bluetooth

    I have a 4th Generation Ipod touch.  currently using (2) UE Boom wireless speakers to connect via BLuetooth  (2.1+EDR)
    Is it possible to , say add another 2 speakers,  so in tandem all 4 would connect ?
    Speakers are Logitech (UE Boom wireless)

    Thanks for the reply. Is there any way around this limitation.  I take it 2 sets x 2 won't work.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod 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.

  • Can't add songs to iPod Touch after updating to v2.0

    I just updated my iPod Touch to v2.0 and now I cannot load any songs onto it. When I drag songs or playlists over the Touch in the iTunes Devices list they just bounce off. Everything else seems to be acting properly. Contacts, Photos, etc. sync/update just fine.
    I had this problem before after updating to Leopard. I can't find the thread I used then. It walked you through a process of deleting some file in the User>>Library folder before reinstalling iTunes. Unfortunately I don't remember which file(s) need to be tossed.
    Anybody know the sequence or have a link to the earlier thread?
    Thanks...
    John

    An update...
    Having nothing left to lose, I trashed iTunes and reinstalled it. Now I can at least sync Playlists. I'm not sure why I can't drag songs onto the iPod touch.
    Still waiting for help on that one...

  • ITunes can't connect to Apple TV sometimes after sleep and wake up

    Hi!
    There are any issues to find in the discussions depending on problems between the ATV and iTunes but no solution helps me to solve the following problem till now.
    I am using a Mac mini (middle 2011) as a central storage for multimedia data. The exact description of the network can you find further down.
    The problem is that iTunes sometimes can't connect to the Apple Tv via Airplay. There is a window open what tells me that iTunes try to connect to ATV. But it doesn't work.
    After determine iTunes completely (normal closing doesn't work because of that open window) and restart it, it will work probably.
    Itunes is connecting to ATV via Airplay immediately.
    Sometimes it works for any days with a view sleep and wake up procedures. Sometimes the problem appears while I'm listen to music after any minutes of starting.
    I send the mini and the ATV to sleep with the remote of the ATV or let it go to sleep alone. To wake up ATV and mini I push a button on the remote.
    Following components are working in my network:
    - router FritzBox 7390 from AVM (2,4 and 5 GhZ at the same time)
    - Mac mini (middle 2011) connected via Wlan
    - two Airport Express with connected loudspeakers in various rooms (Wlan)
    - Apple TV (third generation) connected with home cinema via HDMI and with the network via Wlan
    - Telekom entertain setbox for TV connected via LAN over Wlan bridge
    I have tried to use the whole system with an Airport Extrem as router for wlan but the problem was the same.
    I suppose it could be a problem with DHCP Lease or the Bonjour? What can I do?
    Last but not least...the devices have installed the newest firmware or software versions.
    Thanks a lot for support!

    i bit the bullet and re-associated library on ATV. On atv, setting/computers; current library was grayed out, clicking creates a warning that all media on ATV will be lost, it takes its time to earase the disk, then an option to connect to itunes becomes available just like fresh setup. ATV produced a code to enter into itunes. itunes complained that it cannot communicate on port 3689; googleupdate.exe was using this port; disabled googleupdate; rebooted everything for good measure. so now i'm waiting for 100GB of home movies and music to sync to ATV (thanks apple!). one thing that got me stumbled - when ATV showed up, there were not tabs for music, movies, podcast, etc, only settings and photos; solution: deselect 'automatic sync' by selecting 'custom sync' in the settings tab.
