What am I doing wrong??

Hi Emily-
The first thing to try is to reset your iPod - hold down the Menu and Select (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo. This will often get it recognized. If it doesn't, see these tips:
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps. I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now". I can't press the okay button to start the download. What should I do? All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

New ipod touch won't connect to itunes

My new iPod touch won't connect to itunes on my iMac. I have several devices already connected to this itunes library, any suggestions? Thanks.

See:

You need iTunes 10.5 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

HT2688 my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this done?

my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this going?

The music should still be in her iTunes Library - the one she uses to put music on the Shuffle. Simply connect the new iPod to that iTunes library, make the choices she wants for syncing the music to the iPod (which I guess, may now include putting all her music onto the iPod, since it has more storage capacity) and press Sync.
Future Syncs with that Library will cause any changes of the Library to be copied to the iPod. Note that music is (or should be) copied to the iPod, not moved. There are two reasons for having the music in the Library:
makes it easier to put the music onto a newer iPod, such as now;
if or when the iPod needs a Restore, which will delete everything from the iPod, you will need to copy "the Library" back onto the same iPod.

I've just updated to iOS 7.1.1 on my iPhone5, and now it won't sync (I get error -50) - any ideas?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

I cannot find a way to update my itunes to 10.6.8. i need this in order to sync my new ipod. i just updated to 10.6.3.help!

As Limnos says, you first need to update to OS X 10.6.8 before you can install iTunes 11 (please note the version numbers).
To update OS X close all running applications and make sure you have a current backup. Then pull down the Apple menu and select Software Update. This may show you several items that you can update. Choose OS X 10.6.8. This may take some time. After the process is complete you will be able to run Software Update again and it ought to offer you iTunes 11.

I trying to upload the new license file in BE 3000 but getting error . Can anyone share how to delete old license file from

A simple license does not include upgrade to newer versions. If you want to keep up to date at all times, look into a SSP subscription. It has many other benefits.
