ITunes Won't Download to iPod

I just bought this thing, all I have is a connected iPod telling me not to diconnect, there's no ipod in the source list of iTunes and nothing seems to be happening. It's been this way for over 30 minutes. Should I just disconnect, reboot and try this over again? It's connected via USB. Thanks for any help.

  • ITunes won't download to iPod from new computer

    I installed my iPod and iTunes software on my laptop pending the arrival of my new computer. I had no problem downloading music from the laptop and still don't. But after installing the software on my new Dell XPS400 and downloading music to iTunes, iTunes won't hotsync to my iPod. I can't get any of the music off my new computer except by copying it to disc and moving it to my laptop. This is not very efficient. Please help, someone.

    Engadget has a guide for this.

  • My songs from iTunes won't download, I went to the downloads tap and all seven of my new songs say "download error, tap to retry" and when I tap on one a message pops up saying " this song could not be downloaded at this time". What do I do?

    My songs from iTunes won't download. I recently just purchased 7 songs and they took my money but now the songs won't download to my phone. I have gone to the download screen on the iTunes app and under each song it says "download error. Tap to retry". When I tap to retry a song a message pops up saying "this song could not be downloaded at this time." And it gives me two options. Either done or retry. I have tried to download them many times. I signed out and signed back in on iTunes, restarted my phone, and even checked for any updates. Nothing seems to be working. They charged the money from my card but now my songs won't download. What do I do?

    Hello Bdev15,
    I would be concerned too if the songs I purchased from iTunes were not downloading to my iPhone. You have taken some great troubleshooting steps already, and thank you for providing the details of the steps you too.  I have a few additional suggestions to get it downloaded to your iPhone.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

    If the songs still do not download, next I recommend downloading the songs when connected to another network.  For example, if you are using the cellular network, you could switch to Wi-Fi, or you could try an alternate Wi-Fi network.  Follow the steps in the section titled "iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch > Music" in the article below to download the songs:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you are still not able to download the songs, you can report an issue with these purchases using the steps in this article:

  • I deleted some Apple software, now iTunes won't recognize my iPod

    So earlier today I removed Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device from my computer. Now all of a sudden iTunes won't recognize my iPod, but windows does. Could this issue be related to removing the software from my computer?

    Take a look at this web page and see if it helps:
    iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows
    Good luck.

    itunes won't download because something about "mobile device not authorized?"

    Hi buckirich,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service.  This article has instructions for doing this:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:

  • New itunes won't download on my mac

    The new update for itunes won't download on my mac. It says that it is not compatible with my operating system. I just want to put music on my IPHONE 5!!!!!

    iTunes 10.7 or newer requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.8. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, click here and buy the DVD.

  • ITunes won't recosginse my iPod for a factory reset

    My iPod has been booting up then shutting down constantly till the battery runs out since yesterday, so I followed all the knowledge base articles and finally came to this
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    which seems to be the only thing left to try before it goes back to Apple. However, it requires me to click on the "summary tab" to reset to factory settings but I can't do that because iTunes won't recognise my iPod, it just says:
    "Itunes cannot read the contents of iPod "MONKEYSIPO". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings".
    Windows does recognise it, however. Someone has posted that doing a quick format will reset the iPod the same way but I'm not conviced by that and don't fancy invalidating my warranty, so can someone confirm that or help me with the iTunes problem?
    Frankensteined Athlon2.3   Windows XP Pro  

    Never mind. I had to uninstall the iPod using the installation CD then uninstall iTunes 7, reinstall iTunes 6.05, reinstall the iPod updater software so I could restore the factory settings. Uber faff and 6 odd hours of installing, forum searching and rebooting my PC
    Note to apple: Total integration of features isn't necesarily a good thing. Get your support sorted.

  • HT1222 iTunes won't download.

    Hey guys!
    I was just wondering if any of you knew why iTunes won't download on my PC?
    I have tried a couple times, but it won't work.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Pressed "iTunes in the menu.
    2. Chose the 64bit download, which is the right one for my laptop.
    3. Accepted anything and everything they asked for, and setup everything. (Language, desktop icon, etc.)
    4. When the download started, it got stuck on the first step og downloading, the green bar never even showed up.
    What do I do? Please help a poor fellow in need.
    Thanks!

    my itunes won't reconise my ipod touch but does with my nano any help plz

    - First see if resetting the iPod will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
