Itunes tells me that it cann't read or write to my ipod touch when I have been doing so for a long time. Why

I have a 32 GB Ipod touch second generation (I believe) and suddenly iTunes is unable to read from or write to it. It seems to work with my iPad. I haven't changed anything that I am aware of and I have had iTunes restore it twice.

- Try another cable and USB port
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Then
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

You can't view them on iCloud.com. And photos (and other data) stored in your device backup can't be viewed, other than by restoring the backup to your device.
If you want to view your photos on the web, for the time being you will have to add them to a shared stream (album) with the Public Website option enabled. This will give you a private url to view them from a browser.

I have been buying apps for a long time without a problem using my credit card on file. All of a sudden itunes is not recognizing my card which is in good standing. All the info is correct but itunes/apple says it doesn't match the bank info. Any ideas

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

When updating iPod from iTunes receive message that some of the photos cannot be displayed in iPod touch

when syncing iPod Touch from iTunes receive message that some of the photos cannot be displayed in iPod touch

What are the detail? file size?
Since you can't create them in iPhoto, what is the source? Camera? What processing did you do in iPhoto?
Can you look at the Info for the photos that do sync and those that do not to try to find out why?

When I connect my phone iTunes tells me that I need to uninstall and reinstall a 64-bit version. I have the 64-bit version installed. Help

I have been fighting with iTunes for the past few days. My wife deleted a file by "accident" and I have been working to get iTunes to work ever since. I have worked through numerous issues and managed to work through them all, but have now hit one that I can't and that I can't find a solution elsewhere. I have done the complete uninstall (complete meaning, very complete) and reinstall of the 64-bit version of iTunes several times now. The software works fine until I plug in my old iPhone (4). When I do, the software popps up with a message that says that I have the wrong version of iTunes and need to uninstall my current program and reinstall the 64-bit version. Anyone else out there had this happen and if so, what did you do???

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

HT1386 i am trying to sync songs onto my ipod touch when i have no songs at the moment but my itunes is telling me i have 544 songs which i dont. how do i solve this?

i am trying to sync songs onto my ipod but itunes is telling me i have no more memory because i have 544 songs when i have no contex in my music. how do i solve this?

Assuming the songs play in iTunes
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT1657 I had to stop downloading a movie that I rented. I want to compete the downloading now and it tells me that it is waiting....... But this has been going on for days. How can I get it started again?

I had to stop downloading a movie that I rented , not quite finished. When I tried to start the download again the message says waiting........but this has gone on for days. I want to finish and watch my movie. How do I restart the download or get a refund and start over?

Hello Wearekozy,
The following article outlines how to report an issue with your purchase:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933
Thanks,

HT202213 When I have downloaded and paid for music several time the song will not play, saying that my computer is not authorized. When I follow insturction to authorize the computer says it already authorized and song or songs will not play...... Help.

Authorized music purchased will not play says unauthorized to play and when you follow instructions to fix the issue says authorized...

If only a few songs on an album are doing that, that suggests the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Hi when i have been using iWeb for the whole week and all of a sudden i wanted to open iWeb but nothing came up? the tab at the top says that iWeb is open but i have no image i can't edit or do anything to my web site i just see my background. please help

Hi
Iweb Wont open on my desktop. in the tab it shows that it is open but i cant see the iweb page?
thanks

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
If Roddy's suggestions fail to help continue with this:
1 - open iPhoto and select a couple of photos.
2 - use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option.
Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.

How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch. I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem. Can anyone help?

thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu. Do you have any other suggestions?

Ipod "cannot read or write to___'s Ipod"

Hey, I'm getting a very frustrating error... and was wondering what on earth it means... and why I can't use any more than 2.89 Gigs of my 60 gig ipod...
after trying to place more on it... pretty much of anything... it says that it can't read or write to <my ipod's name> and then there's an elipses
like.. I'm trying to get a digital life videocast onto it and obviously it isn't working.
very frustrating
and I'v also got a problem of it quite often saying that all my songs are movies... and then making my movies not work
after a couple of minutes of screwing around on the computer I can make it work again... so I must be doing something right
I'm not in a huge rush... considering I got my Ipod for free...
need any more info, obviously you'll ask
thanks in advance

I am still having trouble updating my ipod click wheel 40gb and my nano ipod also my brothers nano ipod which he connected to my 17"powerbook! only to have the same problems.
When updating the ipods they all manage to update a few songs then they seem to stop updating on any song then I get this meassage.
The error message reads (Attempting to copy to the disk "my ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to) so after that I looked at the last song that was updated to my ipod,then I looked at the song that was straight after the one the got stuck, I then deleted the song after the last updated song from my itunes library and updated again, my ipod then proceeded to update some more songs, then it stopped again and I got the error message again, if I repeat this process of finding and deleting these songs it sort of works but this is all so wrong!!!! So after getting this message with three different ipods surely this problem lies with the computer NOT the ipods!
Can anyone please please help.

On my new iPAD2, when I tap an icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What can I do for that?

On my new iPAD2, when I tap an appls icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What con I do for that.

Try this and see if it helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or....
Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
