Unable to Connect to itunes & it won't recognize iPod

"ITunes could not connect to the ITunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network connection is active then try again"
For the past 24 hours, I have been getting this error code. I live with a roommate and their connection is running fine. Furthermore, I reinstalled iTunes 4 times and upgraded to iTunes 10 and ran all the diagnostics that was instructed to me but I'm still being shut out. Moreover, iTunes is no longer recognizing my iPod classic.
I am using a wireless connection and my internet is working fine. It's just iTunes that won't function.
Please help if you can.

- You have to contact Honda for an firmware update to the car system.
- Or maybe Apple will resolve in a subsequent iOS update.
- Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
- Remember the car system (I do not know if it has been updated) is about as old as when the original iPod Touch was introduced.

Mac & iTunes 10 won't recognize iPod

I recently updated my iTunes to the new version (10 I believe) and now my computer (OS 10.5.8, MacBook) and my iTunes won't recognize my iPod. The USB is working as it charges, but the iPod doesn't show up on the desktop or in iTunes. I've restarted the iPod and still nothing... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I'm on the same case. My ipod classic 160 GB (bought in 2007) have been working fine until I updated to MAC OS to 10.6 and the itunes 10. I read a lot of discussions here and it looks like the itunes 9 and 10 i guess, have problems with the classic ipods, specially with those bought on 2007.
There's a lot of people with the same problem.
The itunes says my ipod it's corrupted and the ipod needs to restore, also in the finder doesn't appear. It's the same within irip, senuti or xilisoft that doesn't recognize.
At this moment I try a lot of things to fix the problem, but nothing works... and the disk utility says the disk couldn't be repaired.
I need to format it, but before I need to back up my files.
I will try Floola and also I will try Disk Warrior to back up my songs. (150GB of music!)
So sad that Apple doesn't say a lot about this big problem.

Itunes (Mac) won't recognize ipod touch - please help!!

Hi. I have a brand new 4th-gen ipod Touch. I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.1 on a Macbook. I have three other ipods (classic, shuffle x 2) and they all work fine. THe USB cable and port work fine with other ipods (and with this one on the rare occasions it works properly) and the ipod touch, when it's cooperating, seems to function OK so I don't think it's a hardware failure. It hasn't been dropped/wet, and I've only used it for 4 days.
Bit of a saga and I'm getting seriously fed up!
The ipod touch synced OK the first time I went to set it up, I installed some music/apps and all seemed fine. Then the next time itunes wouldn't recognize it so I couldn't sync (it just charges through the USB but does nothing else). So I ran through all the suggested tests on Apple support (turning on/off, checking I had the right versions of stuff, etc), that didn't help so I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10. That worked, and the ipod touch synced and I was able to use it again. BUT, the day after that, it went back to not being recognized. Tried everything again, reinstalled itunes - that worked. Then the next day... not recognized again!
So I phoned Apple support, and the guy told me to hard reset and restore factory settings, which I did but it failed: first time it didn't restore (was just same as before). Second time I tried it froze and I got Error #1611. Tried again and got Error #1618 which isn't even listed on the Apple Support page the error message links to (by this stage it was showing the plug into itunes screen you get when you first turn it on, but only when plugged into a USB port - wouldn't turn on when not connected). So I called Apple Support again (different person this time) and was told it was a possible hardware failure and I should take it to my local Apple Reseller.
Apple Reseller staff looked at it, confirmed that it'd only turn on when connected to computer, so they plugged it into one of theirs and restored the factory settings. THis time successful (ipod working again) but went to sync to itunes and AGAIN it wouldn't recognized it. Went through the whole uninstall/reinstall process for itunes and got the ipod to sync. But now.... not recognized again!! I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling itunes every time I want to sync the ipod, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?

I think I might have fixed it (touch wood, cross fingers, etc)...
Here's what I did:
In Finder, under "Go", select "Go to folder".
When the box comes up, enter this folder name: /system/library/launchdaemons
Click "go"
Locate this file: com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
Put it in the trash
(NB: there's also a file called "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" in that folder - don't touch that one)
Restart computer
Open itunes, connect ipod
If the ipod appears in itunes, restart and try again to confirm it's working.
This came from instructions someone else posted on another Apple discussion about an ipod touch not syncing. That reply said to do the software updates from the Apple menu first, but I did that and they failed to install but the above still worked, so the updates might not be necessary.

TS1424 Whenever I try to update an app or download a new one I get an error message stating "unable to connect to iTunes"....I have reset my iPad and router but still get the error message

Whenever I try to update any apps or download a new one I get the following error message "unable to connect to iTunes". I have reset my iPad and router and also done the same with my iPod but get the same issue.....need some support please?

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue, it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end - but you could try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works, but it probably won't until Apple's fixed it

Place the iPOo in recovery mode for the passcode issue. For recovery mode:

TS1702 Why does my ipod say it's unable to connect to itunes store?

My ipod keeps telling me it's unable to connect to itunes store, whenever I try to purchase from in-app game.

If your iPad connects to other networks without problem you may have a problem with your router.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. When you have this problem go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
There may be a problem with the DHCP daemon in your router which prevented the timely return of an IP address. Turning WiFi off/on on your iPad gives it another chance which might succeed. Restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds might clear up this problem. However, it might be necessary to check for a firmware update for your router at the router manufacturer support web page.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

IPad App Store unable to connect to iTunes

I have tried several times to update my apps on my iPad but it keeps telling me it is unable to connect to iTunes store. I have tried signing into my account in the general settings iTunes & App Store settings and it says the same message, unable to connect to itunes. My iPhone connects just fine, and it is the same account. Anyone else having this problem??

Same problem, except it isn't working on my iPhone either. Started about 20 minutes ago.

Yesterday I reset my settings on my iphone 4 to correct another problem. Today I am unable to connect to itunes to sync my phone. The device does not show up on the screen. What can I do?

Best practices says plug the USB cable into the computer, then plug the 30 pin connector into the iPhone.
If everything is working correctly, you should be able to plug the iPhone in at any time. Before or after opening iTunes.
Depending on what settings are selected in iTunes, the program may or may not automatically open when you connect the device.

Unable to Connect to iTunes Store for Apple TV Purchases

For the past 2 days I have been unable to make purchases from the iTunes store with Apple TV. I get the message "Unable to connect to iTunes Store. Temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Despite this message, I have a valid internet connection and I can still connect to the iTunes store to preview movies and TV shows content with my Apple TV. I just cannot make any purchases. My Apple TV software is currently up to date and I have valid credit in my iTunes account.
Apple support have suggested that I contact their support community to see if anyone can help me resolve this problem.

Also having issue, it is ridiculous. Kinda defeats the purpose of having TV if you can't stream any content from iTunes since the change to no hard drive. Come on Apple, I think your better than this.
I have read on a couple forums that they suspect Family Share as the issue, does everyone have Family Share on? I for one do.

I would contact Apple under your warranty. I doubt you received a new iPod since Apple's policy is to give you a refurbished iPod.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
