None of my ipods work with new itunes, please help me!

I have:
• 3rd gen. nano
• 5th gen. video
• 2nd gen. nano
Both nanos used to work on my macbook, I could add/delete music, sync.. every thing worked perfectly! Also, I just barely bought the classic from someone and it worked as well.
-- TWO DAYS AGO... I updated to the 8.2.1 version of iTunes and since then, none of my iPods, or my boyfriend's brand-new touch work on iTunes. I've finally uninstalled, installed, reset enough things that when I plug in these iPods, they at least show up on my desk top, but all iTunes does is open.
It used to open and give me a warning: "an ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly...please disconnect & reconnect" which did nothing.
My 3G nano works perfectly on my boyfriend's brand-new MacBook, but still nothing on mine.
I've thought and thought and figured that iTunes was the culprit and not my USB ports or cables since I tried other things in the ports and 6 other cables that work fine on other computers.
I've been SEARCHING the internet like crazy, reading millions of forums and 'fixes' but nothing works :'(

The same thing happened to me. When I first connected my iPod to my PowerBookG4 after the latest update, it told me to restore my iPod, so I did. Now it tells me there is not enough room to put my music or podcasts onto the iPod, because it is full. However, there is nothing on it since when I restored it took everything off. When I go to the iPod summery page, it says the iPod if full with "other", but I can't figure out what that is, or how to erase it, so I can install my music and podcasts. I run every day and desperately need my iPod, and every place I could otherwise call is closed until Monday. Can anyone help?!!!!!!!!!

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.

Problem with new itunes, please help!!

so much has gone wrong with this process. i tried downloading the new version and the whole setup process wouldnt continue. then i decided to uninstall quicktime then reinstall it. but it wouldnt go through with the quicktime setup either. now the old itunes wont even open, and im thinking, is it worth while to uninstall itunes the redownload completely? will this remove all the music on my ipod? if it does is there any way to put the songs back on? thanks

No it won't remove your music from the pod unless when reconneting it to the new library you say "No do not replace the library with the current one"
It sound like you might not have a backup stragegy in place. I would highly suggust you do something or you might be coming here saying you lost all your music. The pod wan't meant to be the only storage for your music.
I would download both itunes and the qt. Save them to your desktop or something then run the installation. Don't run it from the apple site. Then install QT before itunes. When installing make sure you turn off firewalls/virus/privacy/pop-up blockers/web accelerators as these can cause installation problems.

Try this:

Will 1st gen ipod touch still work with new itunes library on new computer (transfer didn't work from old computer)

Ok, so I have a new computer and wanted to transfer my itunes library from my old computer. I could not get the files to transfer. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and see that I can download my previously purchased music to the new computer. I have mp3's that I can add in on my own so I don't have a problem starting over in itunes.
My question is what happens when I plug in my 1st gen ipod touch and try to sync??? Will it erase what is on my ipod or will I be able to move the stuff from my ipod into my new itunes library?? Any info would be great...I'm happy with how my ipod is set up so I really don't want to mess with a good thing. Also, will I need to update and of my software on my ipod since it's 1st generation??
Thanks for the help!!

You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. If you do sync the iPod is erases and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
To avoid that see:

Yes, the 1G works with the latest iTunes.
To transfer iTunes purchases:

In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

Office 2008 and 2011 work with Yosemite. If you had Office 2004 installed, then it will not work. If you had Office 2008 I would upgrade to Office 2011. In any event you should try completely uninstalling Office and then reinstalling it.

IPod not working with new iTunes

As soon as I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it stopped recognizing my iPod. iTunes says the iPod is synced with another library and it's not. I even erased everything off the iPod and synced it up again just to be sure, and when I plugged it in a second time, it gave me the same error message -- iPod is synced with another library. Please help!

ok so i did what ya said and put it into disk mode but still nothing comes up in itunes or mycomputer.
okay, it's possible that you've got a defective unit there.
you'll still be within your 90-day complimentary support period for that, and there's information on that here (click the "Contact support (Click for more)" link above the "Hardware Repair Options" heading):

... but it might be easiest to just arrange for a return. see:

Why does my ipod work with another itunes library

I was adding some music from my friends computer onto my ipod nano, and I do not know why, but it synced like usual, despite the fact it was a different library.
Why is it doing this?

I have a 30GB iPod that only syncs with my iTunes
once a day. When I purchase songs and plug in my iPod
again to my computer to update it, it won't update
again. My comp also doesn't recognize that my iPod is
plugged in. This frustrates me because I have to wait
for the next day to sync my iPod with these new
songs. I also can't sync songs from my Windows Media
Player to it as well, because I've already updated my
iPod for that day. Does anyone else have this
problem? Am I even making sense?
Well, Windows Media Player really isn't supposed to work with iPods, so if you are having trouble getting those two together, it's not all that surprising. As for iTunes not recognizing the iPod... are you leaving the iPod connected to your computer and then going back to iTunes at a later time? If you are, try just disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. If you connect it and it doesn't recognize it, you might want to try a different USB port, preferably on the back of your PC tower, or restarting the computer, that sort of thing. Basically, there's no reason iTunes would recognize the iPod only once a day... it should be recognized everytime you connect it, as long as you are physically connecting the cable each time you want it to appear in iTunes.

Laptop Stolen, now How can I get Ipod working with new computer/disable old

My laptop with my itunes was stolen. I still have my IPOD 30GB.....
I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???
Also I am worried, what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?
Thanks for any help!!!!

*what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?*
You can't deauthorise a computer you no longer have access to on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
*I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???*
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Airplay don't work with new iTunes 12.1.0.71 !

Hello,
I just install the update 12.1.0.71 for my iTunes on Win 7 x64 and now i can't listen music with Airplay !!!!
I have not pb to listen in Airplay with my iPhone, just with Windows and the new iTunes.
Who have an idea to solve my problem ?
Thanks
Fred

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document: iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards). This is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit core application, the same as all previous 64-bit releases of iTunes, which may well work better with third party tools expecting to see the 32-bit iTunes executable.

HT1386 trouble syncing music on ipod touch with new itunes library

I can't seem to get my ipod touch (2nd Gen) to sync with my itunes library. Had Trouble installing itunes 10.6.1 and abandoned the effort on main computer for now (out of FRUSTRATION!!!) and instead tried to sync with my sons computer. It wiped the ipod (expected that) but now when I try to sync for music it only downloads a few songs. HELP!!!! Please??? Get the message that sync could not be completed because sync failed to start. I really can't afford to pay these guys to help with a product that should work so any help would be appreciated.

Try this previous discussion:

Will 30g iPod work with New Nike product?

I recently purchased a 30 iPod video. I would like to know if the new Nike system works with it as well as just the Nano. The Nike site only lists the Nano as a requirement.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello, I don't have a direct answer for you, but I can give you some advice. I'd highly recommend you NOT go jogging with your 30GB iPod (or any iPod with a hard drive). The jarring motion of the legs hitting the pavement (or what have you) can cause the hard drive to crash (the read/write head slams into the platter of the hard drive and will damage it, causing the hard drive to fail).
However, if you can catch it when the disk is not spinning,(running only when the disk stops spining, there's cache that puts 25 minutes into memory so the disk doesn't have to spin) you may be ok, but to be on the safe side, I'd go against that as well.

None of my ipods work with new itunes, please help me!
