New 80gb ipod classic. Can't get itunes to sync music at all. HELP!

I have a brand new ipod classic. It is fully charged and is connected to the computer. When the screen to register my ipod came up i clicked register later. Then the ipod software license agreement came up, so i read it, checked the box and clicked save. After clicking save, i figured it would go to a new screen like it did with my old ipod, but it still just stays on the license agreement screen. i have saved the license agreeement at least 5 times and the screen never changes. i have tried ejecting and reconnecting my ipod, switching the plug to another usb outlet and even restarting my computer. I checked for updates on the softwares to make sure i was up to date and i am. I don't know if this is an itunes or ipod issue. This is my second ipod, so i thought i knew how to troubleshoot and get around pretty much everything, but in this case i'm totally lost! Any ideas?

I should've been more clear...it's not a monitor problem...i just can't get the software license agreement page to go away. After i check the box and click save and save it to my computer the screen won't change to the main page thing for my ipod so i can't even start syncing music until i can get that page to show up. I know how to sync my music once i get to that page, but i just don't know how many more times i have to save that stupid license agreement.

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

Can't get iTunes to sync and update with iPhone 5. Help!

I can't get itunes to sync some metadata over to my iphone 5. For example, for all of my metadata for Orianthi is correct, but When I choose her on my iphone, it shows thw songs all broken up followed by artwork from AC/DC! So I opened itunes, made sure all metadata was correct and then connected my phone to sync. Nothing. It doesnt change my music on the iphone to match itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, ran updates, found 3 new updates and after this was done all was well again. Still not sure why it only affected the touch and iphone, but guess i don't need to LOL.

How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

New 80GB iPod Classic Reboot Loop.... With A Twist??

First of all, let me just say that I've searched for hours upon hours trying to find the answer to this questions before making this post, so please bare with me
So, I have the 80GB iPod Classic, and was really happy with it. I had to get it because my 5th Gen iPod was stolen, and found that I really like all the features it has, yadda yadda. So basically, I had zero problems.
Then a few days ago, it started acting funny. It would just stop at the beginning of random songs and stop playing. I couldn't figure out why, so would just skip the song and listen to the next one. This was all fine and dandy until the next time I plugged my iPod into my laptop.
It has started on the coveted reboot loop, showing the Apple logo, starting to start up, but then failing, then starting the cycle over again.
Reading other posts, the way to fix this is to plug the iPod into the computer, put it into disk mode, then reformat.
My problem is that it won't reformat! I have no problem losing the music at this time, I can get it all back on there, but the stupid thing won't actually reformat itself!
When I plug it into the computer it says different things. If I plug it in while it is already in disk mode, it says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." If I plug it into the computer while it is still going through the reboot cycle it comes up with the message, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "MELISSA'S I". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." Then it shows up in iTunes, but only under the name "iPod" instead of "Melissa's iPod", says n/a for the capacity, but then still has the correct software version (1.0.3) and serial number. I can then click restore, and the computer does its thing, then tells me it has be reformatted and to leave it plugged into the computer, then it will show back up in iTunes once it has restarted. The problem lies in that it never makes it through the restart to become listed in iTunes again until I put it into disk mode again. It seems that everyone else's problem is solved when they put it into disk mode, but that's just not working for me....
I have honestly tried everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, tried another computer, charged it with a wall charger, went through all the iPod properties, turned the iPod service off and on, did resets, went through everything possible in the Apple help, and all I want to do is listen to my music!!!
Any suggestions, or am I resigned to spending hours on the phone with Apple, or sending it back to them?
Thanks for all the help in advance, and happy holidays!
Melissa

Alright, so I finally decided to just call Apple and see what was going on. I got talking to someone and explained my problem, about how the iPod wouldn't reformat and such, and he told me that something was wrong with the connections or something inside the iPod. Which in short means my iPod is dead, lol. Since it's only 2 months old though they're going to replace it, so they're sending me a box to ship my iPod back in, then once they recieve my iPod they're just going to send me a brand new one (and yes, a new one, not a refurbished one, I asked) and not even bother trying to just repair my old one, which leads me to believe that he's heard this problem already multiple times....
So basically I should be getting a new iPod in 10 days he said. Now I get to spend my break reimporting all my cd's.... score. This will be my 4th iPod... you'd think I'd have learned by now.. but no... lol.

New iPod Touch, Can't get iTunes to work, extra headaches

Hello,
This is my first day in the Apple world: I caved and thought it would be good to get a new mp3/video player after my last one died. I ended up getting a 4th Gen Black iPod Touch - not sure if the color matters, but why not?
Anyway, my second problem (first being the weird packaging, of tape through plastic then stuck on) started with iTunes: the thing just would NOT download. Every time I tried, the website kept saying "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to completecould not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." That's just great: I can't get any music or video ONTO my iTouch without iTunes...right?
After browsing around I found an older version of iTunes that seemed to work. Yay! But not really. Nobody ever mentioned that .flac and .avi files can't be imported into iTunes at all...so I had to go hunting online for third party converters. This took care of THAT problem...
However, now that conversion is up, the older version of iTunes won't pick up my iPod Touch and Sync it. There is actually a "Sync iPod" button under "File" tab, but it's grayed out and I can't use it.
Not entirely sure if this is why, but according to a few people, when a new iTunes comes out, the older one stops functioning as fully as it originally did, forcing people to upgrade their iTunes in order to make it work like normal.
I tried to find a third party program to pick up my iPod Touch so I could upload files, but no luck. I feel like an idiot for not knowing how to turn source code into a program, and the binary installers I did find were user-hostile (ie. Right clicking to bring up a menu actually plays the movie and there's no stop button, you have to end task from the task manager). Windows Explorer only shows one folder in my iPod Touch, which is empty and four letters long, which gives no clue as to what it is.
So here's my big question: now that I finally am fully ready to upload my files to my iPod Touch, I can't. Why?
Is it my version of iTunes? Why can't I download iTunes' newest version? Why does updating from the older version yield the same result (though I'm sure both installers are the same)? Is there another way to get all my media onto my device?
Thanks in advance...talk about a four hour headache...

I've used the Reset Network Settings feature in my iPod Touch after every failed attempt to connect to my wireless network. I've also reset the wireless access point and router after making changes to them.
It appears that my Touch is finding the wireless network, accepting the security password/key, and connecting to the wireless access point and router (I get a full signal on the strength indicator). However, the Touch appears to be acquiring the IP Address automatically, right? Thus, it gets the IP Address starting with "169". If I can manually set up the TCP/IP settings, I believe I can get it to connect. Is there a way to set up the TCP/IP settings manually?

Device not detected in iTunes

Can't get iTunes to sync from hp laptop to iPod shuffle. What am I doing wrong?

I have iTunes on an HP laptop and I can't get songs moved from iTunes to the shuffle. If I open the shuffle on the laptop, it seems the songs are on it, but if I go to listen to the new music, they're not there. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help.

Hey there web300!
You are looking in the right place for all that information! You do need to be completely logged on (at the top right) in order to see all the values.
If you are not getting the best signal, you can also change the security type under Wifi settings and Security. Various types can work better with certain computers. Do not make it an open network however.
What zip code are you in that this is happening? Is it only indoors? Let us know and we can take a look on the network side.
Thanks!

Can't get iTunes to install have done all Apple recommend on their support

Hi Everyone,
I am new to these and forums generally. And this request is on behalf of my teenage daughter, whose mini ipod I am trying to sort out.
I have got a problem installing iTunes and I am really hoping that someone here can help, as Apple's support don't seem to know how to resolve it, so look at this as a challenge.
I have gone through the recommendations that apple have given me and other than the itunesinstall,exe file on my desktop, I don't seem to have anything to do with iTunes or Quicktime on my computer, but when I try to install iTunes I get the following message: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To try these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Can anyone please please help, I am at my wits end here and have spent weeks searching for a way to simply install iTunes, Apple haven't been very helpful at all and I don't know what to do next.
I hope to hear some positive suggestions. Thanks for reading.
Hypnoman

CoJeff,
No I can't install Quicktime either, each time I try to install it I get a message 'The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.'
I have gone through all the apple support pages and have removed every trace of Quicktime, from every part of my machine, yet it still says this every time.
I have also shut down all the other programs that run in the background, when I have tried to install both iTunes and Quicktime.
I just don't know what to do next, surely if apple don't have the ability to be able to sort this out, there is something wrong, but because my daughter's mini ipod is out of warranty (in fact prehistoric by todays standards) they aren't interested in helping.
I hope you can perform some kind of miracle here and she would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks

How can I get iTunes to synch libraries on all 3 of my PCs

[My setup is: iTunes (latest), iPhone (new), Windows XP/7, MsOutlook2003]
Hi
I have an iPhone (3GS) and like many people, I have 3 PCs:
a) Work PC
b) Home PC
c) Laptop
How the heck can I get all my music (mostly not downloaded) synchronised onto iTunes on all 3 of them?
My calendar and contacts and tasks
If this is not possible I would like to uninstall iTunes and use something else.
Any suggestions?

See if this CNET video helps.
http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
iPods are purposely designed to sync with one PC, and the video gives a way to trick itunes & the ipods into thinking they are all the same PC.

TS1369 havent used my ipod in 2 years and can't get it to sync....help

I havent used my ipod nano in 2 years...it was purchased in 2010...i cant get it to sync...can anyone tell me what to do.

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible, does the iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?

How can i get itunes to put music on my mini

I have windows 2000, i downloaded itunes off of the enternet because i lost the cd. When I tried to get all of my music onto the ipod, itunes didn't read my ipod. I already restored it, now what can I do? Is there a way to reinstall it w/ out loosing my library?

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also try this (and the other suggestions below) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Also See:
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

How can I get iTunes to answer my requests for help?

I have tried for a few days now to get iTunes to help me get some tunes that partially downloaded. Their initial response seemed to work but the next day the tunes were only partially on my PC. I re-installed the software, called the phone number on my PayPal receipt, sent another e-mail request for help, responded to their follow up e-mail a few days ago asking if my issue was resolved.........and STILL cannot get them to help me resolve. They say I should receive a response within 24 hours, and it has been longer. No phone number to call, the initial instructions to re-download the missing tunes were confusing

It is quite easy to find out how to redownload purchases, using the search bar ( by Support) at the top of this page:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can contact itunes support again by clicking Support at the top of the page, then clicking the link under Contact Us.
