New ipod doesnt connect to updated itunes

is there a way to change my serial number or something on my itunes so i can use my new ipod??

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

  • HT1296 My new iphone doesnt connect to my Itunes on my imac. :(

    My new iphone 4s doesnt connect to my itunes When I plug it in My old phone did automatically but nothing when I plug the new one in. Please help.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • How can I re-name the name the system automatically gave the new iPod I connected to my iTunes account?  It did not give me a choice, but automatically named it.

    I got a new iPod Nano for my 80-year-old father who lives with me.  I already uploaded his cds to my iTunes account, but when I connected the new iPod to my Mac to put his music on it, the program automatically named his iPod with MY name.  I want to differentiate it from my iPod Nano, but it never gave me a chance to give his iPod his name instead of mine.  He will not have an iTunes account; I will handle uploading his music and managing his iPod for him, but I need it to set up under his name, not mine.  My iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc.  all sync automatically with my entire iTunes library.  I only want to selectively upload music to his iPod.  How can I rename what iTunes is calling his iPod?   Help! -    Judy- Charleston

  • I just got a new Ipod and had to update my Itunes to a newer version to use it. But now Itunes app will not open on my computer. What do I do?

    I just got a new Ipod and had to update my itunes. Now my itunes will not open. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    On your phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Should take but a minute & the phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box.
    If you're gonna use the phone on the same computer your son uses, read through this:

    It's not just iTunes you need to update...
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
    See iPod touch system requirements here.
    Leopard is available from Amazon here.

  • Why Doesnt My 30gb Ipod Doesnt Pop Up on Itunes

    my ipod doesnt pop up on itunes since yesterday i been tryin to put new songs but i cant cause it dont pop please someone help

    When you connect your iPod to your computer, is it flashing the Do Not Disconnect symbol?
    If it is, try the steps in the articles I posted above, if you haven't already.
    If it's not...
    First, try a different USB port. If you're still having the same problem, try a different USB cable.
    Let us know if you're getting any error messages when you plug in the iPod.
    If you're on a desktop computer, sometimes it helps to have the iPod connected directly to a USB on the BACK of the computer tower. So, if you're connecting your iPod to a USB on the monitor, or on the keyboard, or the front of the tower, try a port on the back. Also, if you're connecting the iPod through a hub, skip the hub and connect DIRECTLY to a port on the computer.
    If you've done all this and it still isn't working, let's see if the iPod shows up in the Device Manager.
    Click on Start, right click on My Computer, click on Manage.
    In the left-hand column click on Device Manager
    Does anything in there represent your iPod? Does it have a yellow triangular warning symbol on it? (Note that you may want to check under Disk Drives and Universal Serial Bus controllers if you don't see it).
    If you're seeing something that indicates it is the iPod (you can double click on them to see more info) double click on it and choose the option to uninstall the device. Then, restart the computer with the iPod attached and let it go through the normal process of installing new hardware. Then see if you can get iTunes to recognize it.

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • TS1424 My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to buy an app what do I do?

    My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to get an app when I go to enter my password it says it can't connect to iTunes Store. What do I do?

    Don't worry a lot of people, including me, are having this problem.  I think it's a problem going on at Apple's end, hopefully it will be up soon.

  • Ipod is connected to five itunes

    my itunes is sayin that my ipod is connected to five itunes and i cant put the music i just downloaded on to it. i dont kno how to remove one of the itunes accounts please help.

    Are you sure that you are reading the message correctly because an iPod can be used with an unlimited amount of iTunes libraries?
    Perhaps you mean that your computer is using up the maximum of 5 authorizations for purchasing music from iTunes?
    See: Authorization FAQ.
    One computer using multiple iTunes store authorizations.

    I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online but my Classic ipod doesnt work. My Itunes keeps telling me that it cannot restore the ipod because the ipod is busy. What can I do?

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

  • My IPOD was corrupted during updating ITUNES.

    My IPOD was corrupted during updating ITUNES. Now all I get on the screen is USB up arrow ITUNES. What can I do?

    If not successful try the remaining actions of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
