My itunes will not update my ipod mini-please help me

For the last couple of days, I have been updating my itunes with new music. However, when I connect my ipod to my PC it does not update my ipod mini with the new music. The other night it was connected and said it was charging but didn't update and right now it's plugged in and says nothing, I think the battery died. So I am wondering how in the world do i get my ipod to update. Please someone help me! I've already tried rebooting the computer, what else works?

Sounds like you've got connection problems, Al. Also, the exclamation mark means you need to restore your iPod.
Run the iPod Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your mini when it tells you to connect and iPod. This time, however, connect it to one of the ports on the rear of your computer (if you have a desktop).
If it's still not recognized by the updater, reset it: hold down the Menu and Center buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If it's recognized by the updater, choose the Restore option and follow the instructions from there.

ITunes will not recognize my iPad or iPhone.

iTunes will not recognize my iPad or my iPhone. However, it will recognize several older iPods. I am working in Windows 8. Help. I have tried everything I could find and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I really think that my PC is not recognizing these correctly. When I plug in my iPad it opens directly as an external storage device. This was working properly a week ago. What happened?

Everytime I try i get an error message that states that itunes has been installed incorrectly.
What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

TS1538 Itunes will not recognize my ipad 1 anymore. Did everything it told me to check and still will not recognize it.

my itunes will not recognize my ipad anymore. Did everything it told me too. What can I do now.

Have you tried here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If so...
Try a Restart of your Computer and this Reset for the iPad...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons..

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

ITunes will not recognize my iPod miin _ HELP!!!!

Hi
I have a desktop running Vista and have iTunes version 9.02.25 running. I can connect my old 15GB iPod and iTunes will recognize it no problems. However when I try and connect my 6GB iPod mini, even though its charging, nothing happens.
Can you please help??
I used to have both connected to an older desktop I think.
Cheers my loves
Suzy Suz

Hi B Rock
I tried that last night and whilst i was able to reset and put into Disk Mode, this made no difference. You could tell the PC wasnt recognising the fact it was connected as it didnt make the beep noise that it does when the 15GB is connected.
Any other ideas??
Thanks love

ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
Sincerely,
LLM

Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

ITunes will not convert file to AAC, please help.

I have a rather large file, an audiobook to be precise. It is in .mp3 format and is approximately 8.5 hours long. I would like to convert it to AAC but iTunes does not seem to want to convert it. It seems to convert the file until the last few seconds and then stops, coming up with the error message:
'Error occurred while converting the file "File Name". An unknown error occurred (-50).'
As soon as I click the 'okay' button, it deletes the AAC file and I'm left with nothing. I've tried several times before and after restarting my computer and also I've converted smaller song files (3-4 minutes)successfully.
I'm using the latest iTunes and I am using Windows Vista. I have a strong suspicion that my problem is something to do with either the file length or perhaps the file has a fault in it. However, before I take action to resolve this I would like to know if there is any possibility it is an error with my iTunes.
Thank you for helping. =)

My new Ipad mini has the same name as my old Ipad. Now Itunes will not recognize either Ipad. Do I need to reset both or just the new one? How do I get them to have different names?

My new Ipad named itself the same as my old Ipad. Now neither will be recognized in Itunes. Should I reset new Ipad to factory settings and start over? How do I name it what I want?

To rename them go to Settings>General>About>Name.
Don't start all over again. There are solutions for devices that are not being seen in iTunes. Try those suggestions first.

Problem after installing 6.03 iTunes- Will not start up...please help!!!!!

I recently gave into the decision of installing the new iTunes update to 6.03 Everything was working fine, but I thought I should upgrade. Now I cannot start iTunes. When I click on the icon it shows an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then goes away. Ive tried reinstalling, but to no avail. If anybody knows what to do it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for all of your support! J

I am also having a problem opening iTunes after installing the latest version, 6.03. Every now and then, it will open after I do some troubleshooting, but the problem persists the next time I try to open it. Once I opened iTunes in safe mode and then restarted in the normal mode and iTunes started properly. Another time, I took off the iTunes Help application from my start up items under my account and I was able to open iTunes. Another time, I opened iTunes from the actual data file and I was able to open iTunes. But as soon as I close iTunes and try to open it up again the next time around, it does not respond. What is going on? How can I get rid of 6.03 and go back to the previous version without losing my music?

Itunes will not recognize either my iphone or ipad any more since I've downloaded their latest update. I'm working with a Windows 8.1 computer. Can someone help please?

Itunes will not recognize either my iphone 5 or my ipad since I have downloaded the new Itunes upgrade on my Windows 8.1 system. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works. Can someone help with this?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Nathan.
