My new Ipod won't work with my itunes..

I have the most recent version of iTunes, and when I connect, it takes me to a screen that tells me to restore my iPod. I click restore, it downloads an update, and then an error message comes up and says "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored because the firmware file was corrupt." PLEASE HELP!! This is my first iPod and I just got it two hours ago and I'm so anxious to get it up and running!

Any help here?

My new iPod won't work with iTunes 6 but...

Is it safe to get iTunes 7 yet?
Because I tried it before but it made the music dodgy.
So I eventually got 6 back, but it won't work with my new iPod.
Help?

I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

Please help! Ipod won't work with my itunes after plugged into MAC

Hi, I am brand new to my ipod and i plugged it into my PC to get it started, then i plugged it into a friends mac to get his songs- now when i plug it back into my computer it says it is linked to another itunes library and asks if i want to link it back to this one and replace all of the music. I do not want to loose all of the music but want it reconnected to my itunes with the music on my computer and taking the music on the ipod (from my friends itunes) into my itunes. What do i do? I apologize if this is something posted before,i couldn't find an answer. Please help!! thanks

That above article will not resolve the issue. It explaines it clearly in the article.
"Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported."
this means that it won't work with out a 3rd party tool. You HAVE to restore it if you take it between different OS. That document works only if your taking it between windows machines or all mac machines.

My new shuffle won't work with my operating system

I was really pleased to be given a new shuffle for my birthday, but it won't work with my operating system. I feel disgusted and cheated; I have been using macs for years and don't see why I should have to buy a new one in order to use a piece of Apple technology. It's not good enough to say that the operating system requirements are clearly stated, as the person who bought me the shuffle didn't know that. I am so furious that I am thinking of going back to pcs next time I buy. Apple really should get their act together, because various forums I have consulted suggest that a lot of other people feel the same.

Feel better now?
We are all users here just like yourself so we cannot do anything for you besides making some logical suggestions to you. So if the person had bought you some 3rd party software that only worked with Leopard and/or Snow Leopard would by be just as furious? Just curious.
You don't have to buy a "new one" to use your new Shuffle, just upgrade your OS. Are you using a PowerPC or Intel Mac Mini? If the latter just go buy a copy of Snow Leopard, install it on your computer and download the latest iTunes. Problem solved. If it is a PowerPC look around and find and install a copy of Leopard.

HT1567 I have new computer and my ipod won't sync with my itunes library on it.

Trying to sync my ipod with my itunes account on my new computer with no response. When I plug my ipod into my computer it doesn't sync.

How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? What options do you have enabled/configured from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs? Perhaps this article can offer more assistance.

What do I do if my iPod won't sync with my iTunes?

My iPod has been working perfectly fine for about a year and a half now, but when I connect it to my computer it won't sync with the iTunes program. It shows that it is connected to my computer because it's charging, but not to iTunes. I'm not sure what to do, any ideas?

Find a more powerful USB port or buy a wall-mount charger from Apple.

IPod won't work with new computer - please help

When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

Help Ipod won't work with my computer anymore!

I have a 5th gen Ipod and it has been working fine for the first month I've had it but recently I can't seem to get it to work with Itunes or even be detected on my computer. I've already tried all the things it says to do on the support page and none of it seems to be working. I've reinstalled everything and tried the Ipod updater but it won't work. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what should I do? Is there any way I can just get a new Ipod since I've only had this one for a month?

New iPod Touch not working with G3 iMac

I got a new iPod Touch (4 gig) for Christmas. Tried plugging it into my iMac Power PC G3, and I get an error message. ( error OxE000001). Is my iMac too old to work with the iPod touch?
Also as a second issue, I have a wireless network, but I don't have it broadcasting it's name for security. When I turn on my lap top, if it doesn't automatically find the wifi network, I just type in the network name, and it pops up.
Any way to do this with the iPod Touch? (Type in the network name, even though it's not broadcast)
I'll also list this question on the WIFI section.

Ken;
I AM running with iTunes 9.0.2. in my slot loading G3 iMac. There is no special Hack.
You tried to help me earlier, when my G3 just would not work after I upgraded Safari and iTunes. I ended going to the Genius bar, where they worked on it for hours to get it going again. They installed earlier versions of both programs.
I was going to keep it that way, until I was given an iTouch for Christmas. The iMac just did not see it. I was resigned to updating my iTouch through my son's iBook.
In a question I had about upgrading my wireless network, John Galt said his 500mhz G3 worked OK with the iTouch. Over two weeks I slowly installed what he had, (or close to it) I think Safari has a G3 version, that I may have missed when you were helping me.
The last thing I upgraded was iTunes 9.0.2. After three or four tries, and plugging in the iTouch USB cable directly into the iMac, the iTouch was recognized! It seems to work fine over the past week or so.
Some odd things I have to live with. When I plug in the iTouch, iPhoto will start and ask about downloading pictures from the iTouch. I have to manually start iTunes if it is not already on. It does not automatically start like it does with my iPod nano.
Also I did not realize how slow this machine is, I thought down loading a CD through a La Cie DVD/CD player at 1.3x speed was fast. My son's iBook downloads a CD a 9 x speed! Oh well... slow but steady.....

My new ipod won't sync with itunes and does not show on windows

Hi
I got a new ipod nano gen 7 to replace 2 old ipods that were stolen. the problem is that it won't sync at all. When I plug it in it charges, but my windows 7 browser doesn't see it, and neither does my itunes. I have Mcafee security and I have updated itunes, windows and checked my mcafee settings as per other users issues on the web and it still isn't working! If I plug it into another computer though it works fine.
Have tried - resetting ipod, downloading upgrades, switching firewall off.
No idea what else i can do!
Help!

please help me

Hi I had the same problem with my last ipod. i tried all of the steps on the apple support site but none of them worked. I decided to send my ipod in for a repair. Anyway when a week later my ipod came back it was fixed but when i loaded up the computer the disk locked again. I followed through the instructions which said to download the newest software. So i downloaded the new software again and this still didnt work. The last thing i tried to do was to use an old version of an updater so i used (ipod updater 2004-11-15) this ran through the restore process and after completing this, the menu on the ipod loaded up. I then connected to itunes and it allowed it to communicate and transfer the songs
It worked for me i hope it works for you.
Best of luck
