My itunes will not update my ipod mini-please help me

For the last couple of days, I have been updating my itunes with new music. However, when I connect my ipod to my PC it does not update my ipod mini with the new music. The other night it was connected and said it was charging but didn't update and right now it's plugged in and says nothing, I think the battery died. So I am wondering how in the world do i get my ipod to update. Please someone help me! I've already tried rebooting the computer, what else works?

Sounds like you've got connection problems, Al. Also, the exclamation mark means you need to restore your iPod.
Run the iPod Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your mini when it tells you to connect and iPod. This time, however, connect it to one of the ports on the rear of your computer (if you have a desktop).
If it's still not recognized by the updater, reset it: hold down the Menu and Center buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If it's recognized by the updater, choose the Restore option and follow the instructions from there.

ITunes will not update my iPod

I plugged my iPod into my computer and iTunes will not respond to it. It will not add any of my new songs and it will not update my iPod. I have iTunes version 7.2 and when I plug my iPod in, it does not show up under "devices". Even when i put a CD in, it does not do anything. I do not know what to do. I have tried doing the four R's or whatever its called. But it does not work. Can anyone help?

My iPod Touch will not update... Please help me!

I have an iPod Touch 8gb model MC540LL and it will not update. My iTunes program is 10.6 but every time I attempt to download and update the iPod I get the same message "The network connection could not be established." I've tried almost everything I know, even resetting the iPod's factory settings, but that won't work either, it recieves the same infernal message. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
Oh! And the iPod acts like it no longer has iTunes on it.

If not successful also try changeint he DNS. See.

ITunes will not update to 7.0! Help!

I have the older version of itunes, but whenever I try to update to iTunes 7.0 nothing happens. No messages pop up, nothing happens.
The older itunes will not allow me to buy songs or get podcasts, or basically do anything.
I would really appreciate help with getting the application to update!

Are you trying to download iTunes 7.0 through the iTunes program, or online?
If you haven't attempted to download version 7.0 directly from online, see if it works now by upgrading through here:

Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
Thank you,

None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

ITunes will not recognize my iPod miin _ HELP!!!!

Hi
I have a desktop running Vista and have iTunes version 9.02.25 running. I can connect my old 15GB iPod and iTunes will recognize it no problems. However when I try and connect my 6GB iPod mini, even though its charging, nothing happens.
Can you please help??
I used to have both connected to an older desktop I think.
Cheers my loves
Suzy Suz

Hi B Rock
I tried that last night and whilst i was able to reset and put into Disk Mode, this made no difference. You could tell the PC wasnt recognising the fact it was connected as it didnt make the beep noise that it does when the 15GB is connected.
Any other ideas??
Thanks love

ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
Sincerely,

Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

ITunes will not convert file to AAC, please help.

I have a rather large file, an audiobook to be precise. It is in .mp3 format and is approximately 8.5 hours long. I would like to convert it to AAC but iTunes does not seem to want to convert it. It seems to convert the file until the last few seconds and then stops, coming up with the error message:
'Error occurred while converting the file "File Name". An unknown error occurred (-50).'
As soon as I click the 'okay' button, it deletes the AAC file and I'm left with nothing. I've tried several times before and after restarting my computer and also I've converted smaller song files (3-4 minutes)successfully.
I'm using the latest iTunes and I am using Windows Vista. I have a strong suspicion that my problem is something to do with either the file length or perhaps the file has a fault in it. However, before I take action to resolve this I would like to know if there is any possibility it is an error with my iTunes.
Thank you for helping. =)

ITunes will not update because 'iPod Service' could not be downloaded.

For many months now I have been trying to update my iTunes on my computer yet whenever the update is being downloaded I recieve an error message that tells me to go to the Tools menu and to download it from there. I do this and try to install the software again but whenever iTunes is in the process of being downloaded I get the message "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." But the thing is I am the administrator on this computer and I get this message everytime. To update I have been uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. What can I do to fix this?

To update I have been uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

ITunes library not syncing to iPod touch, please help!!!

Hi! I hesitated to upgrade to iOS 6.0.1 until all my songs from my iPod disappeared (but all the songs are still in iTunes library). I thought it was the problem with the software, so I upgraded my iPod to the current version iOS 6.0.1 and itunes to 10.7.
I am on a Window 7 OS. I tried to uninstall the iTunes software, and tried installing it again. I thought the Apple Mobile Device was disabled, but no. I tried restarting it from Administrative Tools. Not working as well. I don't want to restore to the manufacture version since I have so many things on my iPod. It would be great if you guys can suggest something other than restoring. Thank you so much!

ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

Problem after installing 6.03 iTunes- Will not start up...please help!!!!!

I recently gave into the decision of installing the new iTunes update to 6.03 Everything was working fine, but I thought I should upgrade. Now I cannot start iTunes. When I click on the icon it shows an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then goes away. Ive tried reinstalling, but to no avail. If anybody knows what to do it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for all of your support! J

I am also having a problem opening iTunes after installing the latest version, 6.03. Every now and then, it will open after I do some troubleshooting, but the problem persists the next time I try to open it. Once I opened iTunes in safe mode and then restarted in the normal mode and iTunes started properly. Another time, I took off the iTunes Help application from my start up items under my account and I was able to open iTunes. Another time, I opened iTunes from the actual data file and I was able to open iTunes. But as soon as I close iTunes and try to open it up again the next time around, it does not respond. What is going on? How can I get rid of 6.03 and go back to the previous version without losing my music?

When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software. Is there a bug in the iPod program?

If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:
