Trouble getting iPod touch to show new version of iTunes when I connect to iMac

When I connect our ipod touch, itunes message pulls up and says it cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later and to go to itunes to download.  I have done that and restarted all devices, but it still brings that message up everytime I plug it in.  What do I need to do?

Thank you so much for your help!!!!   We are new to apple so trying to figure all this out just takes time.  I will restart the imac then try to connect.  Thanks again so much!!!

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - Anything else here
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
    Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?
    new version doesn't sync with my ipod :/
    What does/doesn't happen?

  • My HDD crashed in my old PC and I built a new system.  iTunes won't let me sync the music from my ipod back into the new version of iTunes I had to download.  How do I fix?

    Syncing music via iTunes is only one way: from iTunes to your iPod.  If you need to copy the music from your iPod back to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

  • Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer into itunes before downloading more music from itunes?

    Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer through itunes before downloading new music onto my ipod?

    No you can purchase it directly from the iPod and then sync it to the computer whenever it is convenient for you

  • My ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer

    So my ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer! it was working fine then outta no where it wouldnt wanna turn back on. i tryed resetting but it doesn't do anything. Also when i put it on the charger it seems to get pretty hot...is the normal? help please...

    There are two different causes of this, either it has been overheated, or the iPod just crashed.  If it crashed, there is one simple step to fixing it.  Letting the battery die.  Do not connect to a charger port, or the device may get overheated, and need to be replaced.  Once it dies, it normally will show the icon, that is needs to be charged. Once you charge it back up, it should go back to normal.  If this doesn't help, then contact apple to the nearest store about getting a replacement.

  • How do i transfer content from my ipod touch to my new PC's iTunes?

    I recently purchased a new laptop. I wanted to know how I can transfer all my content from my ipod touch to my new PC.

    Ideally you would have backed up the library from your old comupter on a regular basis, and have restored that library to your new computer...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • New version of iTunes not compatible with my iMac but I've upgraded my iPhone to iOS 6. How can I resolve this?

    I have an iMac G5 (2005) and I cannot download the new version of iTunes as I do't have an Intel based Mac, therefore, I cannot connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes after upgrading to iOS 6. How can I remove iOS 6 from the iPhone to run iOS 5 again or actually get my Mac to run the new version of iTunes?
    Any helpful hints would be good.
    Thanks

    You're in a bit of a pickle there...Apple does not support downgrading software, so there's no official way to do so, & since you have a Power PC Mac, you can't run Snow Leopard, which is required in order to run iTunes 10.7. So, either purchase a new computer or sync your phone with iCloud from now on.

  • How do I get my new ipod touch to show up on my itunes page

    I got an itouch for christmas yesterday, however whenever I connected it to my laptop (compaq windows) it wouldn't show up on my itunes sidebar like it should. So then I decided to download the latest version of itunes, i did that, then i downloaded icloud, (i still don't know how to create an account for that either) Anyways, ever since I opened it and connected it has had the same picture, I think it's in recovery mode but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how to help me?
    that is what it has looked like since I got it, and connected to the computer. ^ ^

    I returned it for a new iPod nano 2nd generation

  • My 4th generation Ipod touch goes shows that it is charging when it is completely dead, but as soon as it stars up it ceases to charge

    My 4th generation Ipod touch shows that it is charging when it is plugged in and completely dead, but as soon as it goes past the apple screen it ceases to charge! What can i do to get it to charge?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    and maybe
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
