Really stuck getting my new 3gs to work - itunes not connecting/connection

Hi,
I appreciate that this has probably been posted before, but I am desperate for help. I got a new iphone 3gs at the start of the week. I'm not technically minded at all but having downloaded the latest version of itunes I simply can't get my phone to connect to it and therefore am sitting with a piece of machinery which I can't use and I don't know what else to do. I have tried all the fixes which I can find upon googling my problem and not a one has worked. Any further inspirartion would be appreciated.
The basic problem when I connect the phone is a message saying "itunes could not connect to the itunes store, the connection has timed out, please check your connection and try again" or words to that effect. My connection to the internet does appear to be fine as I have another internet explorer screen open and working away fine.
I ran the diagnostic test and the details are shown below, but when I tried to click on the iphone help but it was saying it couldn't find an internet connection, but well, see above comment!
My husband has an ipod which he originally set up itunes for earlier in the year but has now told me that he never actually managed to get itunes to work, the same messages were coming up then as I am getting now.

How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
TIA!

Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

Can't get my new sim to work in my phone

Can't get my new sim to work it's on 3

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The easiest thing to do would be to sign into your iTunes account on your computer, connect your phone and sync. iTunes should copy anything from your phone that isn't already in your library on the computer.

Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How

After getting a new desktop I downloaded iTunes and authorized my new computer and then de-authorized my old one, When I try to update my 5S it says my phone is not authorized and list my wifes email address as the account holder and not mine. How do I correct this. I am using Windows 8.1 . My wife has never had an iTuunes account

Hello Lakesidetom,
It sounds as though you are experiencing an issue with an Apple ID and authorizations. Based on your post, it sounds like you are familiar with the authorizing and deauthorizing process. The Apple ID in question (your wife's email) may be originating from the iPhone you are attempting to update. Is it possible that your wife created an Apple ID or iCloud account which is signed in on that iPhone? Below, I have included links to some resources that may help you determine if your wife has created an Apple ID:
How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
Use these steps if you forgot your Apple ID or aren't sure that you have one.

If you can't remember your Apple ID, just provide us with some information and we'll find it for you. Then we'll help you reset your password.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

Can't get brand new WRT610N to work with Billion 7404 VGOM

I already posted this on whirlpool, here are my posts:
Hey All,
Just bought a LinkSys WRT610n and I can't get the darned thing to work with my Billion 7404VGOM.
At the moment I just want to network my pc to the LinkSys, LinkSys connects to my 7404 which is connected to the internet.
I've tried using DHCP automatic connection with the WRT610N, but it just doesn't talk route any traffic to the 7404...and thus nothing to the internet.
All cables and plugged in correctly, I tried the auto setup also but just can't figure the thing out.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Ken
I can't ping my 7404 modem from my PC when connected through the WRT610N. I can ping the WRT610N successfully, but when trying to ping the 7404 the WRT returns "Destination Host Unreachable"
7404 is function fine if I just connect to it directly though.
I don't understand, even If I couldn't get DHCP info working or syncing between both devices, it should still be able to ping it.....?
Right, I just plugged in my netbook via network cable into the "Internet" port on my WRT610N. I try to ping the router using this (it doesn't get any DHCP settings from the router, so I just set it manually and use the WRT as default gateway ip)...I just get request timed out.
I should be able to do this right?....starting to think my WRT610n has a dodgy "Internet" port.
Any suggestions?

If you connect your notebook via network cable into the "Internet" port on the WRT610N and if you ping the router it will not reply...also your Notebook will get any DHCP setting with this connection...However what exactly is Billion 7404VGOM ? A modem i guess!! Who is your ISP ?

How do I connect my new 3gs iphone to itunes when i have a corrupted backup file

My iphone 3gs died (got stuck on the itunes screen) when I tried to upgrade it. i never had a good backup for my phone but i tried to back up anyway. Didn't work.
Today I got a new 3gs at the apple store and now I'm trying to put everything back on it manually. My contacts and calendar are in outlook. My pictures are in a file on my computer. My music is on my computer. I don't know where my apps are (they were shown in itunes the last time I had my old phone plugged in).
So, the apple guy told me that he wouldn't restore the phone from back up, but i'm not exactly sure if that means I should reinstall itunes or just leave it as it is and set up my phone as a new device. Any thoughts?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you don't have a backup that is reliable, but all the components are there on your computer, I would start from scratch and set it up as a new iOS device.

TS2529 Hi. The mother board on my computer went and I had to get a new computer. My itunes files were recovered from my old computer, but I am not sure how to go about syncing my ipod to the new itunes that I just downloaded.

I am trying to sync my ipod and the new itunes library I just loaded. My old computer basicall crashed and I had to get a new one. They were able to recover all the data from my old computer, but there is no music listed in the new itunes library. How do I get this to work as it did on the old computer?

Hello cheech07,
The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

I downloaded a digital copy of the film Hanna and the digital copy was supposed to come with itunes extras (special features) but when I click on it a bunch of code appears as follows in stead of the special features:

Can I get a new download for the special features?

andrewfromcarmel,
I experienced a similar issue with 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.
Several questions:
1. What version of iTunes are you using?
2. Is your iTunes library located on a network drive or a local drive?
3. What error are you getting during the download?
4. Do you have the ability to try and download the extras file on a different computer?
Regards,

Corrupted episode, how do I get a new one from the iTunes store?

I have bought a season pass for a show my wife and I regularly watch. This is in AppleTV format. I have been really happy with the quality of the picture and sound. Recently, one of the episodes started to stutter and then it froze and I got the message that it could not be played on ATV because it was in a format not recognized. How would I go about getting that episode replaced by the ITunes Store? It was a good one too..............
Thanks

Reboot the ATV and try it again. If it still won't play correctly, find the file in your iTunes store purchase history, click on the "Report a Problem" link, and report it to iTunes store support.

Is the new "Purchased" option in iTunes not working fully yet? Missing TV programs etc

Hi
Is there a problem/bug with the new "Purchased" section in iTunes?
I had quite a few corrupted tv episodes which i thought i would be able to re-download but there are a lot of my purchases ( complete seasons ) that are not showing, also several individual epsidoes are missing from the seasons that are present.!!!! All very strange.
I noticed quite a few music albums are also saying downloaded next to them even though they have only be downloaded at the initial purchase time.
( My account is in the US store btw.)
Any thoughts on the problems??
thanks

It is a beta version. The final version will not be out until fall. There may be issues form time to times with the beta version, as it is a beta version.
dksapple, TV shows are included:
"Now you can download music and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes"
