ITunes can't work with iPod without entering passcode

I'm trying to get my new iTunes on my new laptop hooked up to my old iTouch. When I plug it in a window pops up on iTunes that says that iTunes can't connect to my iPod because it's locked with a passcode and I need to type in my passcode before it can be used with iTunes. This iPod isn't synched to this iTunes and I don't want to sync it quite yet. If I type in my passcode will it sync this iPod to my new iTunes? Will I lose all my music off my iPod?

Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

ITunes can't communicate with iPod - AGAIN

I got the pop up this morning "iTunes maybe unable to communicate with iPod". So I followed the instructions from the link. And reboot my PC. I relaunched iTunes and still got the pop up saying it maybe unable to communicate.
Does anyone know what is causing this, and have a work around? Or is there a decent 3rd party software that will do the work of iTunes?

It was my friend Gail who was having problems. I finally went over to her house to check it out this morning, and found out she was logged on to her machine twice, once as herself and once under her guest account. She logged on to the guest account to check something or other out, and didn't realize there was a difference between "switch users" and logging off of one account and on to another. :-P
So the answer to your question is "Yes". Thanks for your time. I think we can count this issue as resolved.

ITunes can't communicate with iPod bec it's locked by another user

I'm getting this message when I connect my iPod to my computer:
"Another user on this computer is using the ipod software so iTunes is unable to communicate with this ipod. please ask the other user to log out."
I suspect at some point the Windows dialog for "what to do when this device is attached" came up and I hit ok, not realizing it. Every time I attach the iPod, it opens a Windows Explorer window showing me the files inside (Calendar, Notes, etc), and then iTunes gives me hte message above.
I don't know how to tell Windows to butt out. I'm running Windows XP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes won't work with iPod despite several attempts

Hello everybody
I have a tricky problem with iTunes. I have used it and iPod nano for couple of years flawlessy, but now iTunes 8.2.1 throws a following error message (when connecting iPod to usb-port):
"The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly."
"Please reinstall iTunes."
Then I surfed to Apple-homesite and did as two support article said:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano/
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
But the same problem still bothers. I have tried even with older iTunes (6 and 7), but same error appears. Could my iPod be broken? It is weird, that Windows XP will found iPod normally and shows it as removable harddisk in My Computer.
The iPod is out of warranty (due to it age), so I quess Apple won't care about problems anymore.

Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

Can carplay work with ipod touch and ipad in ios7.1?

I wonder if this works cuz i dont have an iphone 5,5c, or 5s

All we can tell you is what Apple says, which is that it will work only with the iPhone 5/5C/5S and future iPhone models. Since no CarPlay system is even shipping in cars yet, we don't know what will be the case in the future.
Regards.

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

How to make iTunes 64 bit work with iPad Air in win 8.1 64 bit?

I have purchased - or updated - my iPad to Air and recently noticed that my windows (8.1 pro) environment iTunes refuses to work with iPad by telling me that I need 64 bit version of the software. My environment is genuine Core i5 system with windows 8.1 pro 64 bit and iTunes is installed as instructed. I have removed all Apple components and reinstalled, but no success. One odd detail is that every time when Apple updater informs me that there is new iTunes available and I choose install option, installation fails and I have to remove manually all Apple components and then install iTunes. Installation seems to go fine, but during installation there is a phase when I can briefly see that system is rollbacking something - could this be vital? Like loosing something that makes system to refuse to install required things that make things work as they should? Like: are there known hw/sw issues that make installation process change installation from 64 bit to 32 bit during installation?

Apple iPad appears to be under "Portable Devices" section and driver is from Microsoft. There is no driver under USB-section and instructions that provided in first reply I have gone thru and they are no go with this problem - they are more likely for older iPod etc devices and dot with issue to deal with 64bit/32bit things. The picture (image.jpg) gives me unfortunately just general error...

Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store

Every time I try to connect to the ITunes Store an error pops up : Itunes can not connect with the Itunes store. I have downloaded the updated software and have access to the internet. Anyone ever run into this problem?

If it still has problems after trying the steps above, try resetting Winsock. It looks like it worked for a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.
MTG68 wrote - In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator". Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
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, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
