Latest itunes takes me to my computers library when clicking on 'chech for updates' to get iOS 6 for ipod touch!

any whiz kids out there!

Confirm that you have a 4G iPod Touch as iOS 6 is not compatible with earlier generation iPod Touch models.

ITunes 9 & iPhone 3.1.1: no apps appear in sidebar for iPod Touch when sync

the new feature for managing apps on iPod Touch in iTunes is darkened and doesn't work or respond to clicks/attempts to drag apps etc. Also, no apps category appears under the iPod Touch device listed in the sidebar of iTunes when it is connected to the iMac (music, podcasts, etc are listed there).
Also, I noticed I have two more apps on the Touch than are stored in the apps section of iTunes (I did not sync the last apps with iTunes 8 before replacing it with iTunes 9). One is "Google Book Search" which I could not find in the iTunes store to put in my iMac collection (to match the contents of the iPod Touch); the other is "Rick Steve's Orsay Tour" which I found in the store but didn't want to chance having to pay for again ($4.99) when prompted to 'buy' it. (I had thought perhaps if I matched the iMac and iTouch apps that the new feature would somehow work; but I know I don't really have any idea if that will work at all.)
Is this a bug in iTunes 9 or did I seriously mess up by not syncing the Touch in the previous iTunes?
What can I do to have the iPod Touch's apps appear in the sidebar; and have the new feature for managing the apps in iTunes work on my iMac?
Thank you. (This is my first-ever visit to this discussion forum!)

I too am seeing this issue, looks like several threads popping up
Here is my post from the other thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151303&tstart=120
I too am seeing this problem. I think it is tied to the ability to adjust the apps and what page they appear on. The reason being that I keep un-selecting and re-selecting apps trying to flip something that will cause it to work. When I do the apps randomly (at least I cannot see a pattern) move around on different tabs. I just purchased two new apps and those wont even appear on the phone nor will apps that I have in itunes but had removed from my phone.

So i hit dont transfer and now i need to transfer how do i change that. itunes also does not respond and laggs when i connect my device which is ios7 apple 5th gen ipod touch. so it willl stop in the middle of my sync any suggestions. windows 8.1 computer

itunes store trouble. my backups are encrypted and i forgot password soooooo.......ya

so i figred out how to fix the issue. for windows users hit the alt key so the menu appears. the click file and hover over devices. then hit transfer purchuses to device or from device.

TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
Thanks in advance

I went into itunes on one of my computers and when I went to sync up the songs I had purchased it wouldn't let me.

I went into itunes on one of my computers and when I went to sync up the songs I had purchased on another computer, both of which are authorized on the same account, it would not detect that I had purchased the song, even though I have a receipt saying that I purchased the songs days ago.

Hello Vulspyr
Look in the iTunes Store and there will a link that says Purchased, once there you should be able see all purchased made under the Apple ID that you are signed in with and there should be a cloud icon to download those tracks. The article below will assist you further.

TS1424 I updated latest ios on my ipod touch. Now when I go to the itunes store and browse for possible purchases it seems to shut off after only a short time for no reason. Help?

I updated the ios on my ipod touch. Now when I browse the itunes store on my ipod, it only allows a very brief visit before automatically closing me out. I have to go back into the store and begin searches etc all over again. Is this a setting or a problem that is randomly occuring? I use to look for hours. Any thoughts?

You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

Do I need to download itunes for ipod touch?

i just got my ipod touch 2g =D
i used to have ipod nano but it died. well my question is...... i still have the old itunes on my laptop... do i need to download itunes again for ipod touch?

The iPod touch will be recognized by older versions of iTunes but there may be some problems, the iTunes may have problems with the features that were introduced after it was released, so it is recommended that you install the latest version.

ITunes fails when trying to convert videos for iPod Touch

I have loaded videos taken from digital cameras (Fuji and Canon) into iTunes (latest version) and I can view them using the QuickTime reader (also latest version). Before syncing them to my iPod 4th gen, I go to advanced options and click on Convert for iPod or Iphone. After 1 or 2 seconds, iTunes craps out with what looks a protection exception. (iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for...)
When I click to find out more details, the Error signatures says Appname iTunes.exe, AppVer: 10.1.0.54 Mod Name: coreaudiotoolbox.dll ModVer: 7.9.4.0 Offset: 000b2f84.
I rebooted with same result. The same problem occured many times, with iPod connected or not and using different videos. I tried to download the test video from the Apple site, but nothing happens when trying to download.
I am on Windows XP, SP3, fully patched.
Thanks for helping.

OK. Problem solved.
I removed all Apple software using Add/remove software in Control Panel.
Rebooted.
Used Advanced System Care (free edition) to scan and fix the registry. There were over 200 problems related to iTunes or QuickTime in the registry.
Downloaded a fresh copy of Itunes.
Re-installed.
I can now convert videos to Ipod.
Hope this can help others having similar problems.
