Itunes wont update ipod! please help!

For some reason when i plug my ipod into my computer it won't update my ipod! It recognises the ipod and says "do not disconnect" but it wont add any new songs at all. I'm going away tomorrow and i really want all of my newest music to take with me. Its an old but fully working 40gb touchbar. Please help! xx

Maybe you have the iPod set to manual transfer, in which case you need to drag and drop music from iTunes into the iPod.
Check in iPod preferences.

PLEASE ! itunes wont update ipod

itunes wont automatically update my ipod touch 2nd gen so i need the file it is running on 2.2.1 HELP !! PLEASE !

- What version iTunes is installed on your computer?
- Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? See the following for identification:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
- If you have a 1G model you can get the latest iOS (3.1) via:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
You may have to use another browser to get the sublink to properly work.

My ipod 4g is in recovery mode but itunes wont restore it please help

it is now a block after going in recovery mode as itunes wont recover it as it stopped in the middle of the process saying it cant find a file.

This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Is this the case...?

Itunes wont insall properly, please help!!

Can anyone help. i need this to use my ipod but it wont insall properly. Please help.

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Itunes doesnt recognize Ipod, please help, getting frustrated!!

OK today I plugged my ipod into my computer to update it and magically it started updating, i dont know what I did but it updated the stuff that i have added recently.

Can't update iPod, please help!!!

Normally when you click on "file" in iTunes, one option is "update iPod" but it is pale (can't select it). I can't update it so please reply if you can help!!
Also, yesterday it wouldn't let me disconnect/eject the iPod, and also every now and again a message saying something about a "corrupt file" comes up.
If you can help me with any of these things. PARTICULARLY the updating one then please reply ASAP!!
thanks!

Try this link put. It has some good basic information on how to update your ipod. Try to manually update your ipod, the instructions for it are in there. When you are talking about the smart list i think you are refering to the smart playlist. What you can do is set a playlist that has different options that will automatically update the playlist. Say for instance everything that you rate as five stars you can make a playlist that will take all of the songs that have five stars and put it on that playlist without you having to do anything.
Now about the issue of the do not disconnect. I had the same issue with mine when I had first got my ipod. If you look in itunes at the very top in the little dropdown menus there will be one called preferences. Now with your ipod connected click on the ipod tab. There should be an option in there that will let you listen to music etc while it is charging on the computer. The default setting for when it is hooked up to a computer is to not play music or anything until it is unplugged.
I hope that will take care of your questions, if not let me know and i'll see what i can find for you and if it did work if you don't mind let me know.

I have a similar problem. My itunes won't open unless I click on it multiple times. If I do get it open and I sync my ipod it freezes the entire program. I've tried reloading the program which doesnt work. A friend of mine in Guam is having the same problem. If I get any answers I'll pass them on. Sorry that I can't help you but at least there are others with the same problem

My itunes wont open. Please help!

I have a new computer, and have transferred all of my old files already etc., but when I downloaded Itunes and tried to open it, it starts up and tries to access the itunes store, then tells me there is a problem and closes it, but doesn't tell me what the problem is. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried unistalling and reinstalling, but I get the same result which is really frustrating

What happens when you manually start iTunes after your iPod is plugged in?

Trouble Updating iPod, Please Help

Every time I try to update my iPod (nano), I get the message:
"Songs on the iPod "Owners iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selecting for updating no longer exist."
Does anyone know what this means? I've tried to reinstall iTunes, and pretty much any thing else the website reccomends. If you know what to do, I'd really apperciate your help. Just as a note (not sure if it matters) all my generic playlists, like Top 25 Most Played or Top 25 Rated were erased. Also, I have no songs under the "Owners iPod" list anymore. All my songs are listed only under "Library". I tried to transfer the songs to the "Owners iPod" list, but it wouldn't let me.
Thanks

Have a look at this previous post and see if it helps: "iPod cannot sync because one or more playlist does not exist" http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607312

Itunes wont update ipod

when i plug my ipod in and try to update it with my new music a box pops up that says my ipod cant be synched because an unknown error occured (-48). i have no idea what that means or how to fix it, help? =/

I recently installed the itunes7 update and am now experienceing the same problem, as far as i'm concerned its an issue with the new software, never had a problem with the older itunes.
Sorry I can't help, only sugggestion is to go back to the original itunes but I realise that is a pain in the arse.

Itunes wont update ipod touch software 3.1.3

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch running software version 2.1.2.
I want to buy the new 3.1.3 software via iTunes. When I connect the iPod Touch to my PC and click on the device name in iTunes, I'm given option of updating to version 3.1.3. But when I click "Update" I get an alert window repeating the fact that new software is available, and asking if I want more information from the iTunes Store. When I then click "Learn More" (which is the only option other than "Cancel"), iTunes simply reloads the same status screen.
I've also tried to buy the software update by accessing the iTunes Store via iTunes, but there is no apparent link to do so.
I've also found Apple's link on the web(http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html) to buy version 3.0, but clicking the link simply switches me to my iTunes application, and i repeat the same loop from above.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Well, if your iPod Touch is newer that a first generation device, they you can get iOS 4.2.1. If you have a first generation device, OS v3.1.3 is the newest you can get.
Also, as best as I can remember, iPod Touch os 3.2 was never released. the iPad shipped with OS v3.2 but the iPod Touch went from 3.1.3 to iOS 4.0 (or maybe it was 4.01)

Remote App and iTunes wont work! Please help.

I am having a really hard time making the remote app work with my HP laptop. I have a Mac that connects flawlessly through my remote app but the HP just wont see my phone. I have done everything possible with firewall settings but still can not connect. Please advise on what I might be doing wrong.

Usually when this happens either quicktime is not installed properly OR you have the Qoologic adware on the PC.
So first we will scan the system for adware. A good program for catching the Qoologic adware (Which affects iTUnes) is Ewido. You can download and install it here http://www.ewido.com Just scan the system and if it finds adware, have it remove it.
