ITunes is asking me to set up my iPod even though it is

When I connect my iPod touch 4G to my computer and open iTunes. Under the devices it says iPod Touch. When I click it, it shows me the Set up your iPod. But I already set up my iPod on the iPod (because of iOS 5.0.1) and I can't figure out what's wrong. Any help would be aprecated!

Did you try to resetup the iPod?
Does the iPod work OK?

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

  • Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod even though Itunes appears!!!!

    Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod even though Itunes pops up! I dropped it like 1 foot in the air once and landed on concrete. Now everything's fine until I play a song and it will just skip, freeze or just play a little bit and then skip. I don't think this is the problem but this is getting more wierd. I've tried almost every solution in this site but none of them worked so please, anyone, help me if you have a solution to this problem!!!

    When your iPod does not appear in iTunes:

    You might want to reset your iPod to prevent any more skipping and freezing. Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until the Apple logo shows. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this while your iPod is connected to your computer.

  • Itunes will not let me look at my acount, even though it shows i am signed in it keeps asking me to sign in.

    i am trying to manage my account, go to itunes sotr- my acount.  even though it shows me signed in, it asks me to sign in again and agina and will not go to my account.

    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder should open. If it does, move the contents to the Desktop, leaving the folder open. Relaunch the application and test. If the problem isn't solved, quit the application again and put back the items you moved, overwriting any that may have been created in their place. Post your results.
    Otherwise, delete the items you moved to the Desktop and close the folder.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?

  • Multiple albums on ipod even though itunes only has 1

    Hi,
    Please help, I've been downloading my CD collection using iTunes and when I sync it to my ipod (7th Gen) there are multiple albums with the same name and songs(14 on some occasions) even though when I check in iTunes there is only one. This problem is not just related to one album but 5, the one thing they do have in common is similar album names i.e. Circus and The Circus, Greatest Hits and The Greatest Hits.
    Coincidentally, Circus has 14 tracks and duplicated 14 times ??????
    I've searched online and tried to find a solution but unfortunately not found anything which helps.
    I'm tempted to reset the Ipod and start syncing all the songs but there is over 6000 and hoping there maybe a simpler solution.
    Regards
    Andy

    iTunes and iPod have slightly different rules for ordering and grouping content. In particular the iPod does not observe Album Artist, each may have different settings for how to treat compilations, and inconsistencies in certain fields can have unexpected results, such as generating multiple covers for the same album.
    See Grouping tracks into albums for more information.

  • It's asking me to pay for Lion again, even though I already did.

    I am running OSX Lion on this computer that I'm typing to you from. I paid for it from the app store.
    I want to download it again so I can make a bootable copy so I can reformat my drive. When I go to the app store, its asking me to pay 29.99 for it, even though I already did.
    I am 110% sure that I am signed into the same apple ID that I used to purcahse it.
    I went to the purchased tab, and I saw it there, but it did not have any option to download it. Silly me, clicked the little "x" and now its not showing up in my purchased list.
    What do I do?

    Hi...
    You may have inadvertently "hidden" the purchase.

  • Phone works fine but iTunes keeps asking me to set up or restore it

    Hi, I have a 4S and iTunes has stopped allowing me to manage it following a failed wireless sync. Now whenever I plug it in to my Mac Mini it shows me the screen which gives you the options of either setting it up or restoring it from a backup. I have restored it from both the last backup and the previous backup and after the restore process the phone works fine still, but when I plug it back into the Mac, iTunes just shows me the same "setup or restore" screen. So now I'm unable to manage my videos, podcasts and music. I can still use my phone, I just can't get iTunes to do anything with it.
    NB my phone wasn't and never has been jailbroken, and is running IOS 5.0.1. The Mac Mini is running OSX 10.6.8 and the latest version of iTunes at the time of writing. Any suggestions and advice most gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance,

  • HT201269 iTunes is recognizing my iPod as a new iPod even though I have my old stuff restored to it and it says the name of it but still asks to set up as new iPod or restore from a backup.

    iTunes is recoznizing my iPod as a new iPod and only gives me the options of set up as new iPod or to restore from a backup. I put my old backup on it and everytime I plug it in it still recognizes it as a new iPod. I've tried restoring it several times and it doesn't help anything and I've also uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but it didn't help. Please I really need some help I can't download any music with it doing this.

    There maybe better ways to do this, but this worked for me when things stopped working a couple of updates back.
    Try this; Make sure your stuff is backed up on your computer first. plug the iPod to your computer and do the restore to factory setting. Then set up as if it's a brand new out of the box iPod. (DON"T use your backup copy) Go through all the steps of first time set up. Once complete, add back all your stuff, music, apps, pictures, etc. from your computer. I know it's a pain, but it worked for me.  
    By the way; the reason I'm doing this total restore is the RED square in the RED circle. All my music downloaded from CDs became unreadable / unplayable today, (worked fine yesterday-- today crap!!) and none of the fixes listed in this forum would work for me. So I started over, after the restore, the RED circles are gone and my music is playing.
    Hope it works, Good Luck!

  • What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
