Itunes not working with ipod tuch :(

hi got an ipod tuch for christmas and when i open itunes with it plugged it an error message comes up saying "this ipod cannot because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes then install itunes again." ive tried this several times but the same message comes up. I know its not the ipod as it works in other computers. Apple mobile device support doesnt download with itunes every time i download it. any idead?
thanks

I just bought a 32GB Touch yesterday...:) I had exactly the same problem. I reinstalled ITunes several times with the same result. Finally I uninstalled anything that had to do with Apple - Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, QuickTime, and ITunes. Then I deleted ProgramData->Apple and Apple Computer, then I created a temp folder unde my user folder and moved "User"->AppData->Local->Apple and Apple Computer to the temp folder, then I moved "User"->AppData->LocalLow->Apple Computer to the temp folder, then I moved the "User"->AppData->Roaming->Apple Computer to the temp folder. Then I reinstalled ITunes. Then I ran ITunes and the IPod was recognized and I registered it, etc. Then I quit ITunes and copied ITunesPrefs from the temp Folder (Local->Apple Computer->ITunes) to "User"->AppData->Local->Apple Computer->ITunes). That way I could rerun ITunes with my previous settings for podcast, music, etc. Sounds like it's complicated, but I just wanted to save the AppData stuff just incase . Everything is working well now. Hope this helps. cottongd

Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.
what happens ?

Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
Procedure:
1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
4. Install iTunes 8.0
Here is where it gets dumb.
This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
Take care all.

I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
(I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

ITunes not working with new iPod

After recently getting a new iPod, I cant get it to work.
The problem is no tin the iPod, Im sure of that. The problem occurs with any iPod on the system.
The problem is that when the iPod is plugged in, it recognizes it, but not as an iPod. At first we thought it was because of other USB devices on the computer, and removed them. One of the devices was an external hard drive, which has all of my iTunes music on it. We moved the external drive to a different networked computer, and made it a network folder. That way we can access all of our iTunes music from a different computer.
That works very well...All of our music can play fine, but the iPod is still not recognized. It says that the firmware on the iPod is corrupt, and asks if we want to restore it. Click yes, and we get error 1418.
How do we fix this?

hmmmmm. you're not getting the classical symptoms of the following issue. but since the PC is networked to other drives, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

USB port malfunction - iTunes not syncing with iPod

to all those apple veterans,
I am using my boyfriend's ipod and in the past, when i plug his ipod into my usb port on my sony computer windows XP, it has always appeared under 'my computers" where i could register my files. I had my itunes library for my ipod shuffle, so i never had any problems with my iTunes tracking my bf's ipod. a few months ago, i reinstalled my operating system and now when i try to plug in his ipod to his computer with his registered snyced iTunes so he could access the files and music on his ipod, the USB is not recognizing the iPod. Why is that? could someone helpe me? why is the usb port not recognizing the iPod when it worked in the past previously? note: i do have the newest itunes 7.0 installed.

IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.

ITunes not compatible with iPod Touch 4th gen (problem with Windows 64 bit)

So I've been trying for about a month or so to sync my iPod Touch to iTunes but ever since i updated it to iTunes 11 it has been saying that i need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. I've done that twice this week alone and its still not working, saying again that i need the 64 bit which I already have. I've ended up completely erasing previous iTunes data to see if that would help, but that just ended up being more hassle. I don't think its just my iPod, because it refuses to sync my iPad 2 manually as well.
Please help me, i'm at my wits end.

You are very perceptive - has nothing to do with your ipod, has to do with your Windows. You can try couple things.
One - reinstall itunes "apple way" and when downloading disable your anitvirus.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
please make sure that you completed not only step one, but also step two.
Then disable your antivirus and go to step three.
iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64 - Apple - Support
if that does not work go to thing number two.
Two - come back here with precise text of the message, see if anybody had it before.

Itunes not working with 64 bit operating system

Does anybody know how 2 or when itunes will work or can work with a 64 bit system. I had no problems when I first downloaded itunes on my computer about 4 months ago. Then I updated itunes and it doesnt install properly. On the disclaimer it says it will only work with a 32 bit or less. I've lost my entire itunes library. atleast its still in my ipod but i cant burn any songs either. Does anybody know how 2 fix this?

If you are referring to Vista Support, It may be after the new year before it fully supports vista. I have not upgraded to vista yet but I was thinking about it!

"old" Universal Dock not working with iPod Classic/iPhone

I purchased the Universal Dock back when it came out. Now I have upgraded to a new Classic & iPhone and neither seem to work to the TV through it. I took having to spend another $49 on the chin and bought the new composite AV cable, which by the way does work with YouTube after Apple told me it wouldn't, nice bonus. The new cable works great (haven't tried charging yet), however, plugged into the dock, the remote works, but I get no audio or video out to the TV. iPhone gives me the standard not compatible and wants to go into airport mode which is fine, but then the video plays on it's (iPhone) screen. The Classic pretends everything is working great. Do I have to go spend another $49 on a new "Universal" dock now?

Did you already have a look here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233? It specifies exactly what combinations of cables, docks, and iPod models do and don't work. Looks like the old dock doesn't work with the new iPod's.

New version of iTunes not working with itunes library

I installed the new iTunes 8.0 and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message--"the file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does that mean, how can i make iTunes work with my new Nano?

I have I tunes on both the laptop with WindowsXP and on the
newly acquired Desktop, HP Q 8200 with Vista 64.
For the latter I have downloaded the latest recommended
version for Vista64, but even though I can see the imported
and saved ( on an external hard drive) play list I can not
play them. When I click on them on this new Vista 64
empowered Desktop, nothing happens.When I click on
Beethoven folder ( which contains many creations by
composer) I can see nothing in the right panel regarding
the overture, for example.
On the laptop I have exactly the same play list and all
works fine there.
Audio is OK, because when I go to the I-tunes store with
the desktop, I can listen to the songs.
Any solutions????

Youtube videos not working with ipod

This problem has always happened to me. But yesterday I had enough
It was one of those peaceful days. I decided to stay in my room
To watch x-men evolution on my iPod (how cool is that) but anyway
Not for long. I got to watch all the way up to season 1 episode 7
After that episodes 8,9,10,11 and 13 were not working
I was using YouTube through safari and usually
A play button is over each video. You push play and
There it is. But this time the play button had a slash in the middle
Like those no smoking symbols. So I go to the YouTube app and
It's technically the same problem "this video cannot be played"
So I skipped most of season 1 and went to season 2 (on safari)
Same **** problem the play symbol with a slash.
Nothing worked I closed out safari and tried
Playing these videos later and they still didn't work
And also this is not the only pro len with me 2nd gen
iPod touch. Sometimes it takes a video forever to load or it just won't load. And also when the video is streaming for
SoMe reason it stops streaming.
Also I know it's not a format or encode problem because
I've had this problem with other videos that I used to watch all the time
Somebody help

If those videos are Flash encoded, then you won't be watching them on your touch. The only way to get YouTube with the properly encoded videos is to use the YouTube app.
And no, Flash is not available for the touch or the iPhone is not likely to be anytime soon.
