Itunes says it can not read my itouch which is a 3rd generation and it is telling me to restore it and if i do i will loose all datta and songgs which none of it is backed-up on any computer. What can i do?
please help me
Well, that is why you should regularly sync your iPod Touch to a computer.
You're going to lose your data and settings; there's nothing you can do about that. You will be able to redownload all the songs and apps from the iTunes Store without being charged again. Since you haven't been syncing your iPod Touch to a computer, you don't have any songs from other sources – only the iTunes Store.
So go ahead and restore it. You'll then have to redownload all your media and apps, and arrange them the way you like. You'll also have to reenter all your settings.
And now you know to sync your iOS device to a computer regularly, for backup purposes if for no other reason.

I just tried to update to iOS 6. It says that an error occurred and I have to restore my iPhone. I know I will loose all of my data. Do I have any other alternatives?
Nope, you'll have to restore.
Hope you have a backup to restore to. -
After downloading 10.5 Itunes says I'm not connected to the internet
I downloaded 10.5 and Itunes says I'm not connected to the internet. I am connected and the diagnostics inside Itunes even says I'm connected.
That was the first thing I tried..what the site told me, but its still telling me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. Should I just delete everything by hand. Like I said I wanted to take it back and upgrade to the 80 gig ipod.

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes but itunes says it can't sync because it is locked. Any way to unlock and keep data? (apps, gaming levels, music).
Hi,
Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.

ITunes says it can't read my data, but restoring will install iOS4
Hi,
I've only recently purchased my 8gb iPod Touch, and am on my second one at the moment. I had to take the first one back in less than a day after I purchased it because iOS4 completely crashed it. Nothing could fix it.
Anyway, just recently the new iPod hasn't been connecting to iTunes properly. iTunes can find it but it says it can't read the data and it needs to restore it to the factory settings. I wouldn't have a problem with this normally, however when I go to restore, iTunes says that restoring will also install the iOS4 software, which ruined my last iPod Touch.
I really don't know what to do. Sooner or later I'm going to need to put more things on and take things off...I'm too scared to try and install iOS4 again and I've been told Apple won't help you if your iPod dies as a result of iOS4..
Does anyone know how I can fix this without installing iOS4?
Much appreciated..mine is doing the same thing other than Itunes saying it can't read the format. I can't play 90% of my music. I took it to an apple store the other day an they told me only purchased music will work. Not even a music upload from a CD. Which to me is a load of ....because my wife has all the songs on her iphone that are greyed out on mine and they work on hers

Hi, I cannot access my iTunes as it says Quicktime was not found. It advises me to un-install and then re-install iTunes but I am afraid I may loose everything as it hasnt been backed u since May 2012. I can access iTunes on my iPhone but the error message comes up when I try to access this on my desktop. Any advice? Thanks a mill
Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling should not affect your library. You should backup anyway.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?
Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer -
My itunes says " We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was reset." what do i do?
All you can do is wait. Apple should have spent the money they allocated toward making iOS all white on network infrastructure to handle the traffic flow during the upgrade rollout.

Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"
How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.
I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
This worked for me and I wish you the best! -
ITunes says I'm not connected to the internet when clearly I am...
I have re-authorised, re-started, re-installed...iTunes says I'm not connected even when I have the home page open. I don't know why it can't connect to server. I'm trying to restore an iPod touch. I can connect and back up my iPhone buut not the iPod. ***?
I wonder if this is a variation of the problem discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468
If that isn't it, try breiefly diabling your firewall to see if that allows connection. If it does, you need to look at the configuration of your firewall. -
ITunes says I can authorize 5 computers is that computers or devices ? (iPad, iPod, iPhone.)

Computers. There's not really "authorizing" for mobile devices.
