You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

Ipod touch and january update help.

hi
i just reinstalled windows xp in my computer and i didnt back up the january updates from my itunes folder. when i synced my ipod after the reinstall it said i had to restore the ipod and after that the jan updates were gone.
someone at the apple store suggested going into itunes store and making sure i could see that i had purchased the jan updates and then scncing the ipod which i did...still didnt work.
can anyone help. the updates no longer exsist on my machine so i was hoping i could download them again without having to pay the $24.99 again or even waiting for the july 11 updates.
help...please

If you didn't back up the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file before you reinstalled your OS, your apps are gone, for now. It's an iTunes Store purchase, just like any music/videos purchased, and if not backed up, it's gone if you lose/wipe your HDD.
Apple has removed the January Upgrade from the iTunes store, so spending the $19.99 to get it back is not even possible.
Your best bet at this point is to wait for the July Upgrade (coming July 11th).
Hope this helps...

IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

Ipod wont restore and update. network connection timed out. help!???

I restored my ipod touch 2g 8gb. I went into itunes and followed the steps. I clicked restore and update and it goes through the whole process and gets all the way to the end and it says ipod software update (processing file) then a pop up comes up telling me "there was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. the network connection timed out". i've tried it in different usb ports and i've turned off the firewalls. still nothing. does anyone have a solution for me?? i've been trying for a few days now and i've look all over the internet to fix this issue. i'm at the point i'm just annoyed so i'm posting here for help. any help would be awesome! thanks

When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
port 80
port 443
phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com
For a more complete list of ports used by Apple products see "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

Ipod Wont Mount in Updater

please help me guys !
My New 5th is shown on desktop and itunes but it wont see the ipod updater
I have tried everything and its just new out of the box.
The option in import photos in ipod/itunes is not showing up either.
I have software 1.0 on the new ipod
Please advise
Thanks

These maybe some of the causes of your problem.
USB port - Ipod need to be connected to the High Power USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC and not those at the front, and do not use USB hub (powered or otherwise), when syncing or Restoring iPod.
Winsock confilcts with iTunes - monitoring software and plugins, such as AntiVirus and Internet plugins do freeze iTunes, when deadlock occurs waiting for USB Resources. - So stop Antivirus and uninstall plugins. But please disconnect from Internet when you stop the Antivirus. Even e-mails apps have been reported to freeze iTunes when syncing.
Hard Disk dying, please do the Disk Diagnostic as posted regularly by tt2.

This wont fix your problem, but confirm that your hardisk need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

HT201263 My iPod wont turn on? Help!!!

I hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the apple logo pops up. Ok thats normal. But not even a few seconds later, this symbol pops up. (The symbol is a USB connecter with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. So i plug it into iTunes and this is what it says.
Name: iPod
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: n/a
Serial Number: n/a
Then under Version, it has the two buttons, "Check for Update" and "Restore". The Check for Update button is not highlighted because it says, "Your iPod software is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 6/14/2012." The Restore button, however, is highlighted. So i click on it and this is what it says next, "Contacting the iPod software update server..." Then it gives me an error message that says, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Thats it. Then my iPod just sits there on the iTunes symbol until you power it off again. For some reason, i cannot get it passed the iTunes symbol. This has been going on since yesterday morning and its really starting to irritate me. If anyone has gone through this before, it would be GREATLY appreciated if you could help me through this. Please dont say that i should call them, because that is my last resort. Thank you!!!

No but it may say it takes hours for downloading the update file if it is not already on yur computer.
Also you can try changing the DNS to Google's DNS servers. Seee:

IPod Mini Won't Update, HELP!

Here's the sitution.
I plug my iPod mini into the computer and open iTunes. Nothing happens. My iPod is charging in the computer but I can't update it.
Help, PLEASE!

Is your iPod appearing in either iTunes or the computer? If not, have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
