Problem connecting after using Itunes 5.0. Please help!

I updated to Itunes 5.0 a couple of days ago. I didn't have any problems installing it and was running fine. Then when I had purchased some music when it was imported to my Ipod, a couple of the songs were freezing. I was trying to figure out whether it was the song on my Ipod or if it was the purchased song. While I was doing that my program froze and told me it no longer recognized my Ipod and come up with the error message that says Itunes is not responding, End Now.
After I did that, it seemed as though my Ipod had been deleted, and I thought all hope was lost. Now after looking in the files, it shows my Ipod Control folder has just been hidden. I have gone in and shown the files so they are no longer hidden. I also noticed it had the 4 letter song names in there too now. When I open Itunes again, it just hides them again and continues to say its unable to recognize my Ipod and that I need to update my Ipod software, which I have tried and still doesn't work.
What should I do now? I was thinking about uninstalling Itunes 5.0 and going back to my old version, but I have seen that other people have been having problems with that.
My main concern is that I don't want to lose my music because I don't have it backed up because my computer doesn't have the space to hold all of my songs and I don't have any external drives or anything to store them on.
Please help!

I have had a very similar problem
-Currently using: Windows XP Home edition with most recent updates
-2.39Ghz processor, Itunes 5
-IPOD 20GB I only have used up 3.9GB
Very similar problem
My IPOD has recently had a weird problem after installing Itunes 5. When I first connect the ipod to the computer everything seems to be working fine, because the ipod displays the "please do not disconnect" message, and ITUNES come up on the screen and lets me play music from my ipod only for a brief few minuets. The computer then stops playing the song it was currently playing and I tunes freezes. After that point the only way to unfreeze Itunes is to press select/menu on the ipod. When the ipod restarts and I plug the ipod back into my computer it won't bring I tunes up again, and I am unable to access the ipod drive. A screen comes up after 10 minuets saying I have to reformat my ipod because it can not be read. I have already done so about 10 times and I still have the same problem.
My ipod doesn't freeze when I'm just listening to it with my earphones or on my stereo, but it laggs more thean usual when changeing songs or menus (I have only used up 3.9GB). I have also tried using my ipod on other computers and I get the same problem. Please Help!

Have you tried restarting the iPad? You will more than likely be starting over again with the setup process but you may be able to use the "later" option if you start all over again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Problem trying to move iTunes folder! Please HELP!

Please help. I am using Windows 7 with iTunes 10 and cannot for whatever reason move or change the location of the iTunes media folder. I have uninstalled icloud (was using with iPad) and iTunes several times but each time I change the location and consolidate (i really don't mind loosing all the stored info) the folder jumps back to the same location on my D drive. I have tried everything from following online guides and even changing the default music folder location but it keeps going back to the same place.
Please help!!!!!
Many Thanks!!!!!

See also make a split library portable which explains what to do when things aren't in the default layout.
Note, if iTunes won't stay connected to a new library after you've used the shift-start technique then it is possible the problems are down to a corrupt iTunes Prefs.plist file.

Using iTunes gift cards - please help me

I hope I am thinking right by saying that I can use an itunes gift card on my itunes store - i do have an account UK but i dont have a credit card. The account (itunes) was opened choosing the NONE option when I downloaded my first free app.
If I were to buy gift cards using cash/debit card from stores do you think I will be able to use them?
This solves a BIG problem!
Cheers guys

The only iTunes gift cards you could use would have to be purchased in the UK and you have to have a mailing address there as well to be able to set an account to be able to purchase any content.

Plugged Ipod into Mac after using Windows--Now Corrupted Please Help

Ipod 1.2.1
My friend plugged it into his Mac, Ive been using it on my PC. It says its corrupted now when I plug it into the PC. I restore it and it says its restored but then the "do not disconnect" mac screen comes up (looks different than the do not disconnect pc screen), and when I try to restore it again, it wont recognize it. How can I fix this problem??

Sorry, it is a bit confused
Your iPod is a 3rd Generation (clickwheel) or (touch wheel),
is it a dock connector?
You need to do the Reset:-
For clickwheel - Press select+menu keys
For touch wheel - Press Play/Pause+Meny buttons
until you see the apple logo
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer

Hi P.Rose,
If you're unable to connect to the iTunes Store, try these steps:

Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Cheers,

Itunes 11.1 is for your computer, not your iphone
It is required in order to sync with ios 7.

My iPhone 3gs after update thane sim are damage and iTunes show locked, please help me, how can solve this problem? i am purchase from Sweden.

My iphone purchages from sweden, when my ipone update latest vertion then sim cards damage and iphone monitor show itunes are loced. please help, how to solved the problem.

Swedish carriers sell their phones carrier locked and do not offer official unlocking. So unless you want to use it in Sweden with the original carrier you may as well sell it to someone who can use it there.
Edit - I tell a lie, one of the carriers 3 do offer unlocking but not the others.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

I have an original iphone I'm trying to use as an ipod. Today when after I updated it, it is stuck with a picture of a plug, an arrow, and itunes logo. Please help.

Did you try to restore it with itunes it should work then.Or try and reset it by going to settings/general/reset. If it doesn't work than go to apple some time and tell them about the error if they don't fix it than I am confused and have no clue what to do.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.
