New itunes won't sync ipod touch

Received replacement 1st generation ipod touch yesterday. Downloaded newest version of itunes at the local library, put on thumb drive. (I don't have internet at my residence, stand-alone computer) Itunes recognizes the ipod, but won't let me put any media on it. It keep sgiving me an error message that I'm not connected to the internet.
What should I do? Would reverting to an earlier version of itunes work?

You need internet access to authorize the computer/log into your account in iTunes. After that you shuld not longer need internet access.
Two solutions:
-- Get internet access at home
-- Copy all you media to a USB drive or similar and go to friend's home with iTunes and internet access and load up your iPod there.

New iTunes won't sync music to my iPod Classic

I plug in my iPod Classic and my laptop reads it just fine, as does iTunes, but the music won't sync. The "syncing" screen comes up on my iPod for about three seconds and disappears.. Any idea how to fix this?

I had the same problem . First delete all of iTunes off of your computer thru your control panel anything with apple beside it ,your files , music is stored in a different area and will not be affected. Before you down load the new iTunes turn off Norton or any protective software you have ,just for as long as it takes to down load the new file. Then reinstall. Worked for me

I have downloaded the new itunes and now my ipod touch wont sync!!!!

I have recently downloaded the new itunes 10, it has let me do everything nnormal and fine but when i plug my ipod in ( the old one ) it wont let me snc anything, please Help. Thanks.

If the problem is that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Otherwise provide informat at to what happens when yuo try to sync. Errot messages?

ITunes crashes when syncing ipod touch

I'm currently having multiple problems with my daughter's iTunes/iPod Touch. Here is some general information, we have an HP running Windows XP with SP2 Media Center edition. The iPod touch is 6 month's old ($399), 16 GB and was bought with Jan soft upgrade(not sure what that means but I think it was version 2.0?).
Last night the touch was sync'ed. iTunes was on 8.01 (not exactly sure of version, think it was 8.01) All music and videos were erased from the iPod. Software on iPod kept rolling back and ended up stoping at 1.1.4. I tried to update the software on the iPod but it kept disconnecting while sync'ing. I had to stop sync'ing so I could download 1.1.5 and load the software on the iPod touch. I want to update to a newer version of iPod touch software but now since I'm on an old version iTunes wants another $10 to upgrade. So I don't know how to get on the version I think I started at 2.0?
This morning I updated iTunes to latest software 8.02. I was able to get music to load but iTunes would seem to randomly crash. I watched and noticed that any video file would crash iTunes. I went in and changed the sync options:
check - open iTunes when ipod is connected. all other options unchecked.
on music tab:
check - sync music, all songs and play listed
unchecked - all other options (ie include music videos)
on movies, TV shows, and podcasts: unchecked all sync.
I now have all music sync'ed. I can't get any video to sync. Music video's purchased from iTunes store won't sync.
Any idea how to update software on the itouch? Any idea why the video's won't sync?

After spending 75 minutes on the phone with tech support, we found the problem was associated with the Windows XP user ID. We created a test user ID, logged on and populated iTunes with video and music. When we sync'ed the iTouch everything worked. I don't know how this problem occurred.

ITunes won't accept iPod Touch Remote

I'm trying to use the Remote App on my iPod Touch with the most recent version of iTunes (the one that includes support for the iPad). At first it accepted my iPod Touch 2g, then wouldn't let it connect anymore. I bought a new 3rd generation, and the same thing happened: it let it connect, then all of a sudden, it won't anymore. I've checked to make sure that the box is checked under the Devices tab AND I've double checked to make sure that iTunes is listed as an exception on the Firewall.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes AND done a factory reset on the iPod. I'm at wits end! Using the iPod as a remote is a big deal for me; I'm using it in a general music room and I need it to be able to control iTunes from anyplace in the room, not to mention using it to control music for concerts.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I like you and a lot of people (I've been ready posts here and on iTunes reviews) have been trying to get this app to work, been at it for 2 days. I just got it to work and it is still working even after turning my iTouch off then back on. It actually finds my library each time now!
I have AT&T Gateway Broadband. There was the problem. I had to change the firewall for the broadband hardware. By typing http://homeportal in your browser it opened up all the info about my Gateway. There you can change the firewall settings.
I got all of this info from the following site (because we have a OutCast speaker - that I LOVE). Anyway the last page on this link is where I got the info to change the Hardware Router firewall setting. Some of the other info may also help troubleshoot.

Hope this can help you or someone else!!!
Good luck, I know how frustrating it can be.

Itunes won't read ipod touch

why won't itunes read my ipod touch

Okay, this may be an issue with your iPod. It is very rare, but the iPhone may have corrupted due to a software glitch or perhaps being dropped etc. In a last-ditch attempt to get it working. You could try reformatting your iPod Touch by going into settings > general > reset and clicking " erase all content and settings". I would do this only if you have backed up your iPod and iTunes before. Once you've done this, re-sync with iTunes, and set up the iPod Touch as a backup of your old iPod-that way all your old content (music, photos and apps) will be reloaded onto your iPod Touch.

I sign into my new itunes account on my ipod touch but it still says I am logged in on the old one!!

So, my friend and I shared an username and such. But he deleted his account and forgot to tell me. I made a new account with a different friend and his is verified and such. I logged onto my itunes store account thing on my ipod in the settings. I even logged onto it on my laptop in Itunes! I went to the Itunes store app on my touch and I scrolled to the bottome and it looks as though I am logged in on the new account....beow the email it says "Terms & Conditions...." so I was thinking the "..." was because something was left undone. But anyways, when I go to the app store on my touch and try to update my apps the little window pops up and asks for my password..I looked at the email and it still has the old accounts email! How?! Why?! HELP.

ITunes won't recognize iPod touch since Snow Leopard

I convinced my dad to get Snow Leopard (the low price helped), and he loaded it onto his macbook pro, but now his iPod touch won't mount – it charges from the USB port, but iTunes doesn't recognize it. We plugged in my iPhone to see if it would work, and it started iPhoto, but not iTunes. That shows pretty conclusively that the trouble is with iTunes software. We haven't tried reinstalling it because I'm worried he'll lose all of his many playlists and settings. Any suggestions?

Hello JacobST,
Have you tried resetting the iPod touch with it connected to the Mac? To do this, press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons together until the unit powers off. Then press and hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
If not luck with that, work through the troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document. You can choose to skip the re-installation of iTunes until later, but do know that it will have no affect on the media or settings, because this information is stored elsewhere on his Mac.

Can't reopen Itunes once it has been closed without computer restart. Can't acces Itunes store 3/4 of the time. Itunes won't recognize Ipod Touch 5 Help?!

Since my Itunes was updated I have had nothing but problems. When I open Itunes, the majority of the time I can not access the itunes store, though I can occasionally. I have good internet connection. I followed Itunes help associated with that and even downloaded the latest version of my graphics card.   Then if I close out of Itunes and go back to reopen it will not reopen at all. The only way I can reopen it is by restarting my computer. The other thing is that I have a brand new Ipod touch and Itunes does not recognize it. Help!!!   I hate Itunes 11.0!!   If I didn't already have 7 Ipods and a song library of 6000, I would walk away from apple right now!!!

Okay for my issue I ended up calling Apple Support and getting a solution!   Yahoo! It appears to be working properly without having to go back to the old version of Itunes, as was suggested by someone in this forum.   I have Windows 7, and they did suggest to makes sure my Windows 7 was updated, along with my Video Card.   The tech had me uninstall Itunes and Reinstall it, however she stressed to me that if it was not uninstalled in the proper order, Itunes still would not work after the re-install.
The proper order to uninstall Itunes from the add or remove programs, is:
1st Itunes
2nd Quicktime
3rd Apple Software Update
4th Apple Mobile Device
5th Bonjour
6th Apple Aplication Support
Following the uninstall I shut the computer off completely for one minute, then powered it back up, and went to www.itunes.com to reinstall the software.   Seems to be working now, with my Windows 7, without having to revert back to the old version of itunes.

Itunes won't recognize Ipod Touch and says to reinstall Itunes

I just recently got a new harddrive for my laptop, and have been reinstalling everything back onto it. Itunes installed fine, but when I go to plug in my Ipod Touch, it tells me that "This ipod cannot be used because the required software was not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install itunes again."
I have done this like 4 times and it keeps telling me the same thing everytime.
Does anybody know what this means? Or what I can do to make it recognize my Ipod?

Itunes won't sync ipod (error 54)

I installed the new itunes and bought a new ipod and initially I had a problem getting itunes to recognize my device but after going into update driver software it now recognizes the ipod but I still can't sync! It will start to and then I get an error message 54. Any help is appreciated as I am really tired of spending so much time on this one ipod problem.

This is from an old post - it seems to have fixed the problem for some people.
Error -54 is a file permissions issue -
if you open the Start menu & type %userprofile% (including both % symbols) then hit Enter you should see the My Music folder, which is the default location for iTunes music files.
Open My Music, select the iTunes folder
Then, make sure you have sufficient control over the contents of that folder -
    right-click on the folder, go to Properties
    Security tab, Advanced..
    Permissions tab, Change Permissions...
    click your account name in the list, make sure it says 'Full Control' [if not, reply to that effect & we will need to revise this answer]
    check the box underneath for "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object"
    click OK. That should recursively give correct permissions right down the folder hierarchy.

Itunes won't recognise Ipod touch 5G

So this is for my friend who has a 5G, but her Itunes won't recognise the ipod touch 5G, but windows can recognise it, Itunes says to reset the Ipod touch, and she has done this before, and now again it won't recognise it, so she has to reset it, and this is quite annoying her, as resetting takes a long time. my friend had a 4G before, and had no problems with this, she sold the 4G to get the 5G. She has a window 7 laptop. I've tried several ways but it hasn't solved it.
What can we do to solve it ?

ITunes 8 on Vista 32; iTunes won't sync iPOD with my Existing Library

After upgrading to iTunes 8, when I try to sync my iPOD, I get a message that the iPOD is sychronized with another library and I get a pop-up box asking if i want to copy purchased music to the new library. I DON'T want to do that. I want my iPOD synchronized with my old music library.
How can I do this? I don't want to lose access to any of the music in my library. It's a mixture of purchased and CD source music.

Hey I get the same error, its an absolute nightmare, everytime i try to sync a new song or cd i have to reload my entire itunes library on my ipod, are there any patches out there that fix the problem?
