itunes is refusing to accpet that there is a device connected
Hi daisy246,
I understand that when you connect your iPod to your Windows computer, iTunes doesn’t recognize that it has been connected. There are some great troubleshooting steps in the following article. I recommend starting with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod link under number one to begin and then move onto the next steps if needed.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
Thanks for reaching out,
-Joe

My ipod touch wont connect to my already existing itunes, it doesnt even show that there is a device hooked up to it! i have windows 7 and I just dont know what to do

My E1500 shows that there are 15 devices connected to my computer..
I am trying to find out what devices are connected to my router. I have had some illegal downloading from my IP address but it has not been done from my computer. It is showing in Cisco Connect that I have 15 devices connected, I should have no more than 6 devices connected so trying to figure out who is connected on my computer. Can you please help me to find this information out.
Thank you.Instead of trying to find out who's connected, you should take immediate steps to deny them access now by changing your wireless key. You are not likely to find out exactly who is accessing your network without your permission unless you get a clue from a client name that may or may not show up in the wireless access list.
I keep a list of all of my device's MAC addresses. I keep an eye on the wireless client list on my router for strange MAC addresses, which helps to ensure no unauthorized access.
If you're not sure a device belongs on your network, then you can put the device's address into the MAC address filter on the router to deny access. You'll probably find out quickly if it really does belong to you or not. -
How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G? When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone. thanks for any help you can give.
I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it. -
When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.
You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day! -
I'm having difficulty downloading apps to Iphone using my PC. I keep reading that there is a "device" button located in the Itunes page... but I don't see it.
What do you mean?
You buy an app from itunes on your computer?
If so, then sync it to your iphone.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select the apps you want under the apps tab and sync.

Hello ashharuddin,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No SIM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4148
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
Have a nice day,

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!
Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

i was trying to update my iphone to ios 6 thru itunes but there was an error message that my phone is corrupted while downloading and that i make sure that there is a network connection and to retry downloading.
no software update available in the general settings...Before beginning the download, try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the secure OS your computer is running.

only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?
Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use. -
I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings -
When I enter my password to start my atv it tells me, that "there was a problem connecting to the network." My Ipad works fine in my house, but not my new atv. I have reset my password multiple times with no help. I have also rebooted my wireless server. Do I take it back?
Where is everyone???? Does anyone have an answer???

My ipod says that there's not interent connection despite me signed up to SKY network at home! what happened? how do i fix it?
When you go to Settings>wifi does it show you are connected?
Do other devices successfully connect to the internet?
Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
