My Ipod isn't compatible with iTunes 8.1 & won't work- what do I do???

Hi
My iPod isn't compatible with iTunes 8.1, which I downloaded today. My iPod is 3 years old (20GB,scroll wheel)and it won't work now. When I connect it to my computer it just says, "Please Wait - Very Low Battery." I'll be waiting forever if I don't find a solution!!!
Any help from ye experts would be much appreciated
Cheers

Every iPod ever made is compatible with the latest iTunes.
My iPod is 3 years old (20GB,scroll wheel)and it won't work now.
The last 20GB iPod was made in 2005, I believe, so it is more than 3 years old. If it has a monochrome screen, it is older. So if the battery has not been changed, it may be worn out.
You should try resetting the iPod following these instructions.

It says that ios 5 isn't compatible with ipod touch 2nd generation... I just got a new computer and need to update my ipod to version 4.2.1 but I don't know where to get it?

Just follow the updating instructions here:

Hi guyz just fixed mine just now, I used an app named iREB please refer to the below link. Make sure youre iphone is plugged in to your USB then launch the app as admin. As soon as the app is running go to the "Recovery Mode Loop Fixer" tab & hit the "Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 errors / Recovery Loops). It will restart your iPhone in just a moment & get you back to your homescreen.
I hope this will help those whos undergoing this horrifying iPhone problem.

Will my iPod 3G be compatible with the latest iTunes (11)?

Hello all.
As the title asks.....Will my iPod 3G be compatible with the latest iTunes (11)?
The reason is I am having problems making my iPod 3G, iTouch 2G and iPhone 3GS all connect to iTunes store etc. I am having an error message of -42408 when launching my present iTunes 10.6.3.

We have 2 out of 3 of those and iTunes 11 works great on all of them.
It does take some getting use to from iTunes 10.

Hi, Can someone please tell me if an Apple ipod 4 touch is definitely compatible with itunes version 12.1 ? Thank you.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me if an Apple ipod 4 touch is definitely compatible with itunes 12.1 ? (The latest version)

Yes it is.
Connect the iPod to your PC then launch iTunes.
The iPod should be recognized.
If it's not available in iTunes, follow the instructions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Help plz!!!! iPod touch isn't compatible with speakers!!

My new iPod touch says that it isn't compatible with my iHome. But, when I went to the Apple store, the guy told me that there was a converter I could buy that would fix this. But then I went to Best Buy, and the guy told me something completely different. So now I am confused. Is there a converter that will let me play and charge my iPod in my iHome and what is it called exactly? I want to make usre that if I buy something that I buy the right converter.

I believe the Scosche PassPORT is what you are looking for. I remember finding it a couple weeks ago as I am wanting to add iPod support to my Kenwood stereo, and Cr_ut_ch_field said that in order to charge my 3rd Gen Touch, I'd need this.

Also look on this A_ma_z_on page. There's a couple different ones in the "Frequently Bought Together" and "What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item" sections, including a cheaper one from Griffin.

Is my IPOD shuffle with software 1.0.1 compatible with iTunes 11.1.3

Is my IPOD shuffle with software 1.0.1 compatible with ITunes version 11.1.3. I tunes doesn't seem to recognize the shuffle anymore. Was this just a ploy to get us to buy new IPODS?

My much older 1st gen and 2nd gen shuffles still work with the latest iTunes, so I don't think it's a "ploy."
If you are using the iTunes 11.x for the first time, the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
The shuffle does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible?

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible? Then when i plug my iPod onto iTunes it says it's fully updated.

You don't say which version of iPod you have but apparently it's fully updated to it's capability yet not to the level that newer iPods can go. Some apps do require the latest IOS level.

IPod isn't recognized by iTunes and iTunes opens very slow!!

Hey!
So here's my very urgent problem (go on vacation tomorrow!!!):
Everytime I click to open iTunes, it takes about 5 minutes until it opens! I have a Windows XP and have also updated iTunes to the newest software. I don't know what the problem is...
And second, my iPod doesn't connect with iTunes, it won't be recognized by iTunes! Windows recognizes it, but iTunes doesn't. I've already tried at every USB connection, but it doesn't work! Well, once it worked and I thought that was it, but the next time it didn't work anymore!
I've got a pink iPod mini (4 GB) and I dropped it some times, but the man in the Apple Support store said, it's got nothing to do with the hardware. Really?
Who can help me please - very fast??!
Thank you!
Chrissy

Sorry, don't real understand! ;-))
OK, I closed all other background applications when using iTunes. But the problem is that I couldn't do the next step because iTunes always tell me: "The software required for communicating with the iPod isn't installed correctly. Please reinstall..." So I can't drag the iPod icon from my computer (and anyway: where is "my computer"??) to iTunes application (where is that one??)
But at least it's good news that nothing's wrong with the hardware (couldn't afford a new one! ;-))
Please reply soon, it would be real cool if you'd help me with further steps... and everyone else too of course! ;-D

3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there. On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work

Photo software compatible with iTunes

I have been trying to add an soundtrack using my iTunes library to a slideshow I created in Picassa. However, Picassa only plays audio from Windows Media Player and I have not been able to transfer songs from iTunes to WMP. Is there photo software that is compatible with iTunes or is there a way to copy iTunes songs over to the WMP library?
