Try restoring your iPod to factory settings in iTunes first. This procedure wipes all data from the iPod and sets it back to its original default settings by reloading a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware.

I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?
iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space

please help i have an ipod touch downloaded several audio books for it. backed up ipod and synced with itunes now the ipod has no audio books on it and they are in itunes but i can not get them back on to the ipod. apples systems are incredibly awkward. any other system allows for mp3's etc to be drag and drop not this long winded and what appears to be a complete waste of time. you buy things and once synced you loose it and cant put it back
Are audiobooks still configured to sync to your iPod Touch via the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes? To check, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tap along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your device.
Or if you want to manually drag and drop audiobooks onto your iPod, you'll have to enable the device for manual management. See here for more details.

I had apps from 2 different apple ids on my son's ipod touch. When I synched it to my computer, it backed the apps from other id onto my computer and deleted them from the ipod. How do I find the apps and how do I put them back on the ipod touch?
Apps can be re-downloaded, and you won't be charged again for a purchsased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Apps cannot be transferred to or combined with another iTunes account.

I downloaded quick time because i tried watching a movie i purchased on itunes and and have watched it before on my laptop but paused and continued. i tried opening it today and it said i needed to download quicktime and i did. it still says i need to download it, what do I do
Hi morgangang,
Although that message is not listed in the following article, I would still go through it for help. Things like installing in safe mode may help.
QuickTime: Windows troubleshooting tips
Troubleshooting Tips
Make sure your computer meets the system requirements.
Try running ScanDisk to verify that the directory is OK. This is an important step to take before installing any software.
Try running the stand-alone version of the QuickTime installer in "Safe Mode." It is available here. This can help to isolate issues with background applications, and some driver conflicts.
Make certain you have installed the most recent drivers for your sound and video cards. Even if you have a "brand new" computer, it is not guaranteed to have the most recent software installed. Contact the manufacturer of your sound and video cards for additional information.
Make certain you have installed a recent version of DirectX.
Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Keep in mind that an error message does not necessarily point to a particular cause or solution. Since there can be many different causes for a particular symptom, some suggestions may not work, and you may need to discover a solution on your own.
Note: Please contact Microsoft Corporation or your computer vendor for help configuring Microsoft Windows.

My new IPad Mini tells me that I need Itunes 10.7 when connected to my Apple computer. When I try to up grade, I'm told that there is no newer version than what I have. IPad mini says I have system version 6.1.3. The ITunes version on the Mini is unknown.
The problem is that your Mac software is quite old. You must have a version of OS X on your Mac earlier than 10.6.8 (current is 10.8.3), so your particular version of OS X cannot support any later version of iTunes. (The current iTunes version is 11.0.2). In particular, your iTunes on your computer cannot deal with your iPad which has software that is much more current than your OS X operating system (and Mac iTunes).

Device not recognized in iTunes, freezes program when connected, no sync
Problem: iPod is not shown as a device in iTunes, but is shown as a drive on the computer...when connected it shows "connected, eject to disconnect" but it stays there indefinitely and I give up after 5 minutes...sometimes I get the "scan and fix" suggestion but it can't do it because it is in use...if I just disconnect it iTunes then tells me it can't sync because it doesn't have the related file...will sync just fine to the iPhone 3GS
My iPod hasn't been synced very often but I always make sure I have the latest iTunes software version. A few months ago I got an iPhone 3GS as well, and the problems seemed to start at that point. I want the songs to be on the iPod, not the phone, however, sometimes I download songs on the phone and need to transfer them into my iTunes library. I know I can have the songs on the phone but I don't necessarily want them there, although I just totally gave up and synced them to the phone tonight so I have something to listen to at work.
So, I plug in the phone and sync it, then transfer the songs, move them to the playlist I want them in, then disconnect the phone. No problem there. Then I decide I want to sync the revised playlist onto the iPod. When I plug in the iPod, it simply displays "connected" and "eject before disconnecting." It will stay that way indefinitely until I just unplug it. Once in a while it will show "synchronizing" for a few seconds and then it goes back to "connected." It is at that time it wipes everything off the iPod but does not put anything back on it. During this time I cannot operate at ALL in iTunes - I can't click anywhere or select anything. It's totally stuck until I unplug the iPod. The device is not displayed at all in iTunes (devices isn't even shown as an option), but it is shown as a drive on my computer. Often iTunes will suggest I scan and fix the disk, which I select to do, except then it tells me it can't do it when the disk is in use. I have tried shutting everything down and rebooting. I think at some point tonight I was able to scan and fix.
I have tried all the Rs up to restore. I can't do that because I can't get iTunes to recognize the iPod is there. I have: 1) updated Windows 2) uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes; 3) moved the hold switch and pressed the center and menu buttons at the same time, 4) moved it to a different USB port. In January I went through the whole rigamarole of restoring the iPod to factory settings, although I don't even know how I did that now.
This is extremely frustrating because every time I want to update the songs on the iPod it is a 3 - 4 hour process, for something that should take 10 minutes.
Is anyone else having these types of issues? I have a feeling it relates to having both products linked to the software, although it really shouldn't be a problem.I am having the same problem but my son's Ipod 3rd gen was stolen and it has been returned to us. Of course everything has been erased. I am having the same problems and have tried all of the same things but cannot do that reset to factory part because it isn't being recognized in the Itunes and it is not synching. Could someone please let us know what to do

Downloaded latest IOS 7.0.2 and it crashed my iphone 4. Now Ive got nothing and it wont restore when connected with Itunes cos Error Message 4005 comes up. Cant find it listed anywhere. Help
Hi!
It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
To get your phone into DFU mode:
Plug your phone into your laptop.
Turn the phone off.
Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
Now your restore should work!
If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work! -
2nd iPod Classic locking up when connecting to MacBook Pro
I'll sum up the lead-in story as best I can.
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13". Just got an new iPod Classic a couple weeks back. I discovered that when playing the iQuiz game, I had a few lock-ups (freezing). Then a handful of times, it locked up when connecting it to the MacBook for charging or syncing. It didn't lock up EVERY time. But about 1 out of every 4 syncs on average.
I naturally thought something was wrong with the Classic, and brought it into the Apple store when it was locked up, and they gave me a new one.
But now this one is doing the same thing. Occasional lock-ups when connecting to the MacBook Pro. Doesn't matter which USB port. And doesn't seem to matter if the computer has been on, or if it's a fresh boot.
What could be going on here? I doubt highly that both Classics I've gotten have the same exact issue with occasional lock-ups when connected to the computer. My MBP otherwise has given me no problems. And no problems with other USB devices, ever.
Any ideas?Update: bought a new usb sync cable to try, and no change. the Classic locked up the first try with the new cable.

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck -

I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet
I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?
Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button. See if this helps.
if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port. -
My apple tv stuck at setting date and time. Also when connecting yo network doesn't ask for network password
I just went through this last night. (Aug 15, 2013)
What I did to get back up and running. This is not the first time I have lost the network connection with my Apple TV 3
Products effected: Apple TV 3 and Home Sharing (My Apple TV 1 was not effected)
Power down (unplug) the Apple TV and power down your router ( in my case, it is a FIOS router, flipping the on/off works fine).
Power both items back up.
At this point, I usually can reenter my Apple ID and PW. and reconnect Home Sharing. But for some reason I was unable to reconnect last night but was able to get it reconnected in the morning. I was jut to tired to deal with it last night.
A new issue that is was able to fix after a good nights sleep.
I did figure out, (after trying to reenter my ID and PW many times and having it tell me that my ID and PW was wrong), that when using the Apple TV on screen keypad to type in the user ID. DO NOT use the ".com" keypad button. Instead type out each character for .com. ( or what ever ending you use for your ID account.)
Once I typed out my full ID and PW. everything is back to 100%
