Problems After Upgrading iTunes and iPod software

My Goddaughter recently updated her iTunes to the newest version and her iPod to OS6. Now when she open iTunes, the top tool bar that used to have "File, Edit, View, ....tools., etc., is now blank. Is that supposed to happen or is this a new feature of iTunes 10, so now we would find those capabilities in another location? We are lost, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times just to have the same end result. Also when she syncs her iPod to iTunes, it connects but the window that opens has absolutely no text whatsoever.

You might try rebooting your computer. Select Shutdown and let the computer turn off. Then start it up again and see if the problem is corrected.

  • Problems with Downloading iTunes and iPod software to my computer

    Just got my iPod...I continue to get the following error message when trying to download iTunes and iPod software to my computer: "Error 1406, Could not write value InstallDir to key \Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iPod\AppPaths. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key"
    Can anyone shed some light?
    Thanks and Happy New Year!

    This is helpful...thank you. I have learned that I need to acquire administrative privileges in order to install the software, as I am trying to install the software on my company's laptop (don't have a computer at home). Do you know of a way around this?

  • Upgrading to latest itunes and ipod software kills ipod

    Today my son has upgraded his itunes (on XP laptop) and ipod software to the latest versions. He has a 120 GB iPod classic and we've all been using ipods/itunes for many years. Since installing the updates he has been unable to synch his ipod. When we plug the ipod into the laptop it comes back with the error message "The ipod 'name' cannot be synched. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I have then tried to follow all of the trouble-shooting advice on the Apple website including the 5 Rs. The first 4 didn't fix the problem and when I got to no 5 (RESTORE) this wouldn't work either. The restore software downloaded from the site but after looking like it was going to proceed, iTunes returned another error message "<sons name> iPod cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application". I checked that it wasn't trying to synch at the same time as restoring and could see no obvious reason why the restore wouldn't work. I am now at a complete loss as to what to do next. Can anyone help? I am surprised that there is nowhere on the Apple support site where you can find a list of all error messages and what you should do in response. Well not one that I could find anyway! Hope someone out there can shed some light.

    Try putting the iPod in disk mode before connecting it.
    1. Reset the iPod by pressing and holding the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously until it reboots.
    2. Press and hold the Select and Play/Pause buttons simultaneously for several seconds until the display changes. I believe it will say something like "Okay to disconnect." Then connect the iPod to your computer.

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

  • IPod messed up after installing iTunes and iPod update...

    Two days ago I updated my iTunes and iPod to the latest updates. Now my iPod makes funny noises that I can hear through the back (without any headphones or anything) and some songs will only play for about 30 seconds and then the iPod just freezes up, makes funny noises and I am unable to turn it off. I found that by holding down the 'select' and 'menu' buttons together, the iPod will restart. I have tried restoring my iPod and it still has the same problems. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

    This is VERY similar to what's going on with my iPod, except mine will reset when I try to play certain songs.... I think Apple might have a few bugs left in their new software...

      Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    The software you downloaded is for Mac OS X; to get the Mac OS 9 version of the software, download the file for your language from the following pages (iPod, iTunes). The Mac OS 9 iPod software only works for first and second generation iPods, and requires 9.21 to run. Mac OS 9's iTunes will only sync first and second generation iPods, as well as third generation iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware.

  • After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

    I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
    Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

  • Unable to upgrade itunes or ipod software

    Although I receive notification of upgrades that are available, I am unable to see an upgrade button to click on on the iTunes download page

    To see the download button in the left part of this page
    http://www.apple.com/iTunes/download/
    you have to enable port 443.
    Your firewall or other blocking software might prevent that.
    If you don't know how to enable port 443, I suggest you post your question in the iTunes for Windows Discussion. You will probably get more help for Windows there, than in this Discussion (iTunes for Mac).

  • How do I recover uploaded songs from CD's after upgrading Itunes and Ios from external drive with older Itunes version?

    I upgraded to the newest version of Itunes on a new PC and the latest version of the IOS operating system for my Iphone 3GS and lost all of my songs that were uploaded from CD's.
    Prior to the upgrade I tried to synch and got a message that I need to save all purchases of songs and apps otherwise I would lose them.  I did and they saved.  However all of the music that I uploaded off of CD's were not transferred.  No matter what I did to get that music transferred from Iphone to Itunes prior to the upgrade it would not upload so I did the upgrade.  All of my apps and purchased Itunes successfully went back onto my Iphone but all of my music that I loaded into Itunes are gone from Iphone and Itunes.
    I had saved all of my songs on an external drive in an older version of Itunes.  I would like to plug that in tonight and see if I can get those songs loaded onto my iphone but now am worried that it will try and synch what is on the Iphone into that version and erase all of my songs.  Also I am afraid that any newly purchased songs directly onto the Iphone will be lost if I get all of the old data back.
    What do I need to do?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  the ONLY exception is itunes purchases.
    The songs from cd came from your computer in the first place, so they should still be there and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • "manually manage music and videos" setting disabled after upgrading iTunes!

    Hello every one.
    I used to manage my musics and videos manualy , so naturally "manually manage music and videos" check box was always "cheked"
    Now after i upgrade my itunes to latest version (11.1.3.8), i find out that option is "Unchecked"!!
    So i am not able to copy any music or video or book too my iphon !
    If i try to enable that option again, it will clear my libraries and i will lose anything.
    Why this happened? what can i do ? any workaround? seems like a bug to me. i didnt do anything just updated my itunes. that option was enabled on my iphone for like 3 years! now i just upgrade my iTunes and that check box is unchecked.
    It seems stupid itunes think its another machine and says " it is synced with another library"
    Any suggestion please?

    Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
    I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
    Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
    1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
    2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
    3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
    Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

  • After changing airport name its different in itunes and Ipod (Airplay related)

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with an up to date 4th gen Ipod and Itunes.
    What I did was move a airport base station from my garage into my kitchen. I renamed this airport to Kitchen in my airport utility. Right now it shows up as kitchen in the utility. If I open Itunes this airport is still named garage. If I go to use remote app in my ipod its garage too. I have resarted all devices, but nothing seems to change this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Mac, and all who were kind enough to respond, I'm using the latest version of iTunes and iPod software, re the songs just few I recently added to my itunes library from elsewhere on my pc, no reason why the should not have synched to my ipod the same as the 3,500 or so that have done so already. Re capitalism, I'm all for it, makes the world go round, but not when it starts acting like something else. Think about this one, you buy a product, it malfunctions, you go back to the shop, the sales person says sorry, you cant talk to me but I'll give you the names of other customers who bought that product, contact them and see if they can help. That aint capitalsism, that's a joke and an abuse of market power.

  • Unable to update or reinstall iTunes or iPod software

    I hope someone very knowledgable can help me with my dilema-
    it appears that the driver for my iPod has become corrupted,
    since all my songs no longer will display on it. I've attempted to
    update and reinstall both the iTunes and iPod software, but each time
    results in "1607: Unable to install the InstallShield Scripting Runtime."
    I went to InstallShield's site and the Microsoft knowledgebase,
    but nothing attempted so far seems to correct the problem(s).
    Does anyone have any solutions? Please help!

    The files that won't transfer are designated as AAC audio files; they have a bitrate of 128kbps w/ a samplerate of 44,100 KHz. I have other AAC as well as MPEG audio files in both the iTunes library and on the iPod that transferred and play w/o any problem. Have you or anyone else ever encountered while transferring songs to their iPod the message "Some songs in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." ????

  • ITunes and iPod synch

    My iTunes shows my iPod as being updated bur recently when I disconect my ipod the tunes have not been transferred, can anyone adivse (because let's face it, it is almost impossible to contact Apple for any help, in fact this is almost stalinist, being referred to some online help maunual which then transfers you somewhere else and then somewhere else, I feel like a character in a Franz Kafka novel and if I had any choice I would ditch my ipod all together, but then Apple know that's unlikely, after the money that's been spent, as I said, this is modern day stalinism under a different name)

    please please help me!

    Liz,
    There is this knowledge base article that explains how to uninstall iTunes
    Troubleshooting iTunes and iPod Software installation on Windows
    In particular, you need to download / install / run the Microsoft Install Cleanup Utility.
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    You should also run the Quicktime standalone installer first. This will sometimes report errors that the iTunes installer doesn't.
