On your iPod?  You need to use your Windows PC to download (and then install) the latest version of iTunes (on the PC).  You can get it here

  • ITunes 10.5 crashes when syncing iPod Touch 3rd Gen. with iOS 5

    iTunes 10.5 crashes when I try to sync my iPod Touch 3rd Gen. with iOS 5...help? I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and from what I can tell the sync process is taking up a massive amount of CPU (i've got a 15 in MBP with i7 core, 2.2GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM). can someone tell me what's going on?

    I have windows xp, mine also crashing, nothing has worked...uninstalling, resetting and reinstalling nothing.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the now new computer by :
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup of th iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer. Right click on iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as necessary.

  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

    i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

    Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with.  Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
    Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

  • Try to sync my ipod touch 3rd gen with windows media player 11 win xp

    Trying to sync my ipod touch 3rd gen with windows media 11. Can anyone please help.

    The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)
    Chris

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen with iOS 5 capacity bar says other section is taking up 1.53 GB?

    When I sync my ipod touch 4th gen with iOS 5 i have 2.8 GB of music and 1.27 GB of apps and i have a 8 GB ipod but the "other" section is taking up 1.53 GB?? i know thats not normal so how do i fix that?

    This indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve it.

  • HT4972 Upgrade iPod touch 2nd gen with ios5

    I am trying to upgrade an older iPod touch with iOS5.1.
    When i connect to iTunes it says current version of software (4.2.1) is currently installed.
    Can I upgrade my iPod touch 2nd gen with ios5?

    No, that model cannot run iOS 5 normally without resorting to hacks.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen, with os 2.1.1.

    I just opened an brand new iPod touch 2nd gen, with os 2.1.1. It had been siiting in a box for a couple of years without being used.
    The iTune tried to updated it to os 4.2, but failed.
    I guess I need to upgrade to some odler os first like 2.2, then 3, and etc.
    Where can I find them?
    Since this 2nd gen iPod, I kindof expect it should be able to be upgraded for free to 4.2 or later.
    Where can I find those versions of OS?
    Thanks,
    James

    You can only go directly to iOS 4.2.1. Just how did the update to iOS 4.2.1 "fail"?

  • Why is my ipod touch 4th gen with ios 6 only have sound in the speakers but not when I plug my headphones in

    My new ipod touch 4th gen with ios 6 wont play soun in the headphones, but only through the speaker when my head phones are unplugged

    - You do have the volume set all the way up?
    - Have you tried another pair of headphones/do the headphone work in other devices?
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It seems yo have a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack.

  • Sync iPod Touch 4th Gen to 2 different iTunes

    Can you sync the same iPod Touch 4th gen to 2 different iTunes?
    On my iMac early 2010 theres lots of songs I want on my iPod and on my Macbook Pro late 2011 theres photos I want on my iPod.

    That means that you can connect the iPod other than your one syncing computer and copy music and videos from that computer's itunes library to your iPod.
    The follows explans it but does not reflect iTunes 11 for exactly how to do it.
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

    i bought a ipod touch 4th generation with cracked screen and i finally got it to turn on itunes and the ipod was making charging noises but the screen was just white i tryed updating it to ios 5.1.1 bit did nothink so i was wondering how to fix this white screen i tryed a hard reboot ( whitch i heard might work ) but did nothink if there is no sulution to fixing this is it worth buying a new screen ? thaanks

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If yu can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and service is required.
