ITunes says the software's current, but it's not

iTunes says that my 5G iPod software is up to date at version 1.1.2... but that's not the newest update. what should i do?

Seems I've run into the same problem...
The problem with keeping the older iPod software is that iTunes will not allow me to copy video files onto it. It says I have to update t he software....
I'm considering restoring my iPod to factory settings and going from there, but I'm investigating to see if something easier can be done (not that re-copying my music to t he iPod will be that big of a deal... I wanted to clear some junk off of it anyway).
My iPod is a 5th gen, and I'm running iTunes 7.

  • Itunes says the songs are synced, but they are not on the ipod.

    I recently erased everything off of my computer because it had a virus. I'm pretty sure this is why this has happened, but I have no idea how to fix it.
    What's happened is my iPod has over 100 songs on it, but when connected to the computer it says it has zero. I figured "no big deal." But it was. When I went to sync my songs onto my iPod, something happened. From iTunes, when I click on my iPod to view the songs, it has only the ones that I had just synced. Then when I unplugged my iPod to listen to them, the newly synced songs weren't there.
    I have no idea why uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes did this, since I've done that before when I was having problems with my computer. I would just use a different computer, but none are very convienient and it was a lot of songs that I tried to sync, so I'd have to import all of those into the other computer's library.
    I really don't want to have to restore my iPod if there's another way to fix this problem, because I don't want to do that if it won't definitely work. I have a lot of songs there that are no longer in my library (backed up and still on the external server, but its a lot to import individually.) that are on my iPod that I would still like to have on it.
    I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me. I have no clue what's wrong...

  • HT1725 itunes says the song is downloaded but, only half of it is there. How do i get the whole song?

    I just tried to download a song I purchased and only half the song is there. when I go back to the itunes store it says the dowload is complete.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • ITunes says my iPod is synced but songs are not appearing.

    I had to start all over with my iPod because all of my files were erased. I downloaded a bunch of new songs and videos and when I sync my iPod, a message appears saying that three of the files cannot be copied. I used to get that before too, so no big deal. But when I look on my iPod, the songs are not there. It is not telling me that it cannot be synced and the bar at the bottom of the preferences page or w/e says that I have 1.60 GB of music, 795.1 MB of video, and 25.42 MB of 'other'. I have already authorized this computer. Why won't it sync properly?

    iTunes can "sync" an iPod, and not transfer any songs.  You may need to set up or update automatic syncing in iTunes for the iPod.  Otherwise, syncing may sync nothing.
    First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. 
    Second, when you set up automatic syncing, the iPod's existing content is replaced.  Any songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.  Is that OK?  If that's a problem, please post back.
    Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar.  To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This setting enables automatic syncing.  If your iTunes music library can fit on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Then, "everything" (that is music) syncs to the iPod when you click Apply.  Going forward, any changes to the music library sync automatically to the iPod, at the next opportunity.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlist, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select (checkmark) what you want on the iPod from the lists below.  For example, you can have playlists in your iTunes library with songs you want on the iPod.  On the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists.  When you click Apply, the songs in your selections sync to the iPod.  Going forward, to update your iPod, update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The iPod does not need to be connected.  The next time the iPod is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

  • Before downloading the updated software, I was informed to save my purchased apps.  I saved the apps to iTunes, downloaded the software and now my apps will not open.  Why?

    How do I get my apps to work again?  I saved my purchased app and downloaded the updated software.  Now my apps will not open.  Why?

    Launch iTunes on your computer then click Store / Authorize This Computer from the iTunes menu bar.

  • ITunes says i've purchased music but it will not re-download and it is not showing up in my purchased area

    I bought Demi Lovato - "Unbroken" along with multiple other music purchases but this is the only album that does not show up in my purchased area or has the feature of re-downloading when i search it into iTunes. I have a new laptop and even on my old laptop which i purchased it on, it is not re-downloadable or even re-purchasable. I am using the exactly the same iTunes iD. It is in my itunes on my old laptop but I can't download or purchase it again onto my new laptop eventhough it says it has already been purchased but it doesn't show up in my purchased area. Also, i go onto my old laptop and i meet the same problem. Hope you understand this, thanks

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Are you sure you meet the requirements? It is not possible to purchase Mavericks because it was a free download. However, you no longer can download Mavericks since the release of Yosemite. If Mavericks works on your model, then so will Yosemite. Frankly, though, for a computer that age I would stick with Snow Leopard. It will allow you to use any older PPC applications none of which will work in Lion or later. Snow Leopard will perform faster for you on that model.

  • ITunes says my password is wrong, but it's not.

    I've tried resetting the password, nothing. At first the website did the same thing, but it didn't last after a few times. Only the iTunes resists me, and now I've been stupid enough to sign out. Will someone at Apple please go into my account and tell the thing that the password is right?

    We are all users like yourself.
    No one from Apple reads or responds here.
    Contact iTunes customer support to see if they can assist you.
    Of course, it would be much easier to simply enter the correct credentials.

  • The software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly..

    Everything used to work fine on my laptop. I'm fairly sure it was after I had uninstalled Zune crap from my laptop when my iTunes started messing up and saying "the software for communicating with ipod is not installed correctly".
    I've searched the whole internet front to back about this error and most things I find are from 2005'ish. I've tried changing the registry permissions, reinstalling itunes, clearing out everything that has to do with itunes, doing all the msconfig things, manually starting the ipodservice.exe.
    I still cannot figure it out and I've had this error for like 3 months. Only thing that I notice that MIGHT be odd is that I'll have ipodservice.exe running (from System) and when I open iTunes another ipodservice.exe will open (from my username) and then close after a few seconds and then I plug my ipod up and bam, the error from above comes up. Anyone have any clue? Like I said everything worked fine at one point!
    Thanks!

    Another thing is that iPod Touch shows up fine...I've tried every other ipod from older 4gig Nanos to 120gb Classics and none of them work..this is really annoying!

  • After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot  turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

    My Iphone 4s  shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

    On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

    I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode.  Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed.  I forget what those tests were called.
    I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.
