Itunes says i have the iphone...but i have an ipod touch.

When I select my ipod in itunes to look at its review (where it shows the capacity info and whether or not it needs an update, etc that kind of stuff) it says "iPhone" at the top and tells me "your iphone software is up to date..." blah blah blah. i have a 3rd gen ipod touch...? i don't know if it has always said that and i'm just now noticing or what.
EDIT: I just finished a sync and it even said "iphone sync complete" at the top. whaaaat?! i'm pretty sure that it has always said "ipod."

AND, it's also taking forever to sync and back up. it was giving me the error message that it could not load data from sync services or something like that but that went away after i unplugged it and plugged it back in. it's still taking forever to sycn though. gahh what is going on? :/

Well I know that I didn't get any responses but I thought I'd just let people know that after not having it plugged in all night and plugging it in in the morning, everything is back to normal. It says "iPod" again and tells me that my "iPod" has finished syncing. What happened last night maybe was some sort of temporary bug? I don't know.

Iphone 4S - Windows Vista - 64 Bit (and photoshop elements 9.0) is not recognizing my iphone as a camera - therefore I cannot download pictures from my iphone. iTunes works fine with the iPhone, but I do not see it in "My Computer" when connected via USB

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her owniPod

I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account . What's the best way to go?

You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.

I have the iPhone 5C and have question about he Nike IPOD app. It keeps telling me to move around to set up the sensor to start timing my workout. I went on a 20 minute walk and it still did not set the sensor. Help is needed.

I have the IPHONE 5C and am having trouble with the app Nike + IPOD. I go to timed workouts and select 20 minutes and the select playlist and it give me the workout section to start my timed workout. It will say walk around to activate your sensor. Well, I walked 20 minutes last nigth & it it still was telling me to activate my sensor. I was able to still enjoy listening to the music I have on this phone, but frustrated with this silly voice telling me to walk around to activate my sensor.
Have anyone out there had this frustrating problem.??

I used to use an iPod Touch and the sensor on my non-Nike running shoes. I bought a little key pouch that fastened to my laces and stuck it in there. It worked find.
However, with an iPhone, you don't need a sensor. Download the Nike+ Running app from the App Store (or Runmeter or Endomondo or Runtastic). The phone has built in GPS and an accelerometer. It doesn't need the foot sensor like the iPod Touch. You can use any shoes you want. Or no shoes!

TS1702 I have the iPhone 3S and have the update to ios6 on my phone. Any reason NOT to update? I've heard there are issues ...

I have the iPhone 3gs. Any reason NOT to update to iOS6? I've heard there were glitches.

The iOS 6 is great, but really is there some issues with some people. This is your choice, but i would suggest to update only when the new version of the iOS 6 (probably the 6.0.1) comes out.

ITunes saying I need newer QuickTime, but I have latest upgrade

I just reinstalled my operating system, and I'm in the process of migrating files from my external drive back to my internal.
I'm trying to use iTunes, but it keeps telling me I need QuickTime v7.5.5 or later, and the version I currently have (with no software updates available) is 7.2.1
How can I get the later version of QT so I can continue to use iTunes?
I haven't encountered this problem before so I'm not sure how to get around it.
Thanks

Hi Jordan,
I think this is the version you need...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/QuickTime_7_6_for_Leopard
I think the reason no SWUPD shows is that it checks Library>Receipts for one thing to see which QT PKG stubs are in there, & likely thus wasn't an erase & install.

Next best phone to the iphone, but I have to have tmobile/virgin

Hi All
I'm in a real dilema, I really want an iphone but my O2 (orange/vodaphone) coverage is poor - the best network in my area is by far the Virgin/tmobile
I use apple mail, ical etc and really want something I can link to my imac/macbook. I love the Apps advert on the TV, but would I really use any of them????
So could you please give me a frank view of what I should go with....
I was thinking the google g1, but then i've heard its rubbish with apple sync etc, the Nokia E63 becuase it cheap on Virgin, The Nokia 5800 or pay through the nose and go Blackberry
the features I want is to be able to have what is on my mac, on my phone, access my emails (pop accounts) and googlemail a/c, my ical entries. Would like to be able to access facebook. perhaps place scrabble from time to time. GPS (googlemaps, is that anygood)
Virgin offer unlimited internet on the phone for 30p, but this is then under £9 a month
I call mostly virgin customers and occasionally O2
appreciate your frank views on this please

really want a phone that is as close to the iphone as possible
Well, if you're familiar with and like the way the iPhone touchscreen interface works, it's likely you'll be disappointed by anything else, since nothing yet comes close.
Many phones have some better technical specifications than the current iPhone, but non better it in terms of the user experience or Mac compatibility.
You can read the specs of both and compare them here:

ITunes freezes when syncing with iPhone, but works fine with iPod?

It's a bit of a long story with my iPhone/iTunes problem. In late July, my iPhone stopped syncing properly. It's an iPhone 4. Basically, I tried to add more photo albums to sync onto my phone, something I have done before. It began syncing, then notified me that it couldn't sync 'x' amount of photos. It was a pop up on my phone screen. I tried deleting my cache in My Pictures, still errors. Then it seems like everything possible has just glitched when I sync as weeks went on. It wouldn't sync music. The songs would appear gray and failed to play. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it doesn't. Now, iTunes freezes when it reaches the end of the sync and I have to ctrl+alt+del to close iTunes as it stops working.
I took my iPhone to apple, and she ran diagnostics and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. She told me she couldn't run diagnostics on my iTunes because it's a Windows laptop and she's "not trained to work with them". She said everything seemed fine with my iPhone and asked if it was possible if I have a virus. I've had no other problems with my laptop whatsoever and I have a decent virus protector that we pay for monthly.
I have tried restoring my phone twice, with a backup. I tried again WITHOUT a backup, and still, it freezes when it syncs, some songs are gray on my iPhone and won't play, and photos refuse to sync, period.
I then tried syncing my dad's iPod with my iTunes, and it worked. I also tried syncing my iPhone on my dad's laptop, and it worked. So something is clearly glitching between specifically my phone and my iTunes. I'm avoiding uninstalling iTunes at all costs because I don't want to lose play count information as the majority of my playlists are created this way. I thought iOs 7 or iTunes 11 (now 11.1) would fix it, but neither did.
Can anyone determine what the problem could be and how to fix it?

the same thing is happening with me. itunes will freeze and then it wont put songs on my ipod.
im starting to get upset since i just went out and bought a new ipod. thinking that was the problem.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Could setup the email exch. account in an Iphone but NOT in an Ipod TOUCH

I have an Ipod Touch since 2007. I bought the 2.1 iphone software a couple of months ago, so I tried to configure the email exchange account of my job. I followed all the steps of the user's gide but it dindn't work.
A friend of mine that works with me just bought an Iphone, I did the same steps for her and it DID work!
I've already restored the ipod touch software but It keep not working.
Indeed I have installed the company certificate profile...
How can I resolve this problem? I went to the APPLE store and they told me that they have heard some of this issues before and it is supposed to get working restoring the ipod touch software.

No, you should have Restrictions OFF.
Computer's iTunes > Preferences > Parental Preferences > everything should be unchecked.
Are the songs also on computer's iTunes?

I don't seem to have the genius playlist option on my iPod touch 5th generation-what to I do???

I didn't jailbreak my ipod or download any pirated stuff. I actually only found out that my ipod should have the genius playlist option after reading a review on it. But when I checked under playlists in my music app, only the 'purchased' playlist is showing. What do I do to get the genius playlist?????

Hi prefdave,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about Genius playlists or Genius Mixes and syncing them to your iPod Touch, you may find the following articles helpful:

iTunes 11 for Mac: Use Genius Shuffle, Genius playlists, or Genius Mixes

Is there a way to delete ALL of my music off of my iTunes/computer EXCEPT for the music that's on my iPod touch?

I have old music that I have deleted from my iPod that I no longer wish to have on there, but it reappeared in my iTunes.
All of the music on my iPod I want to keep, and one other CD I've gotten since then. Is there any way to delete everything (for good, this time) except for what's already on my iPod (and another CD, too, if possible?)

I sounds like you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. In iTunes on yur computer go to iTunes Preferences. click on he Ddvices tab. If the date of the backup file indicate that it it has the history you can restore from that backup.

HT1977 I don't have the App Store installed on my iPod Touch. How do I get it on there in order to put games and other apps on???

I've tried going through several outlets, I cannot seem to figure out how to install the actual icon/program (the Apps Store) onto my iPod Touch. All I have on there is iTunes, Safari--and the bare minimum that it came with . I'm trying to install the App Store onto my iPod Touch so that I can sync games onto it--and try to use it to its fullest potential....Please help?

- You need at least iOS 2 for apps. Go to Settings>General>About>version to find the iOS version. If you have a 1G iPod you can get the last update for that model here:
Identifying iPod models
-- The app store can also be hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>general>Restrictions to check
- Have you used the Spotlight search, maybe you just can't find it.

I just moved to an iPhone today and can't seem to bring my "address book" over. I am running OSX 10.6.8 on my iMac, have the iPhone 4S, and have enabled iCloud.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Trouble syncing calendar from iCloud! I have the iPhone 4 and have been using the calendar and it is synced with icloud - at least it tells me it is. I just an iPad 3rd gen and everything synced except for the calendar.

HELP!

A couple of things to check:
in the Calendar app, tap on the calendars button (top left) and make sure the iCloud calendars are selected for display.
Open the settings app, select "iCloud" and make sure Calendar is turned on.
