Uninstalling iTunes. iPod 4 'ClickWheel' wont show up. Please HELP!

Hi everyone.
Ok here's my situation.
Im using a MacBook Pro (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)
iTunes 11.4 (64Bit)
iPod 4th Gen. (White 20GB 'Click-Wheel')
After doing a system restore on my ancient dinosaur ipod 4th gen. (the white 20GB 'Click Wheel') and 'upgrading' to iTunes 11 i've had nothing but problems.
So now when i plug in my ipod it charges fine and even say's "Do Not Disconnect" *BUT* there is no 'on my ipod' button. I cant see my playlists, add songs, delete songs or anything! I just want to 'DOWNGRADE' my itunes and have everything how it was before. I find this to be a science project in itself and no amount of searching youtube videos gave me a clear answer, it only made me more afraid and confused of going forward with this.
I tried downloading 'sharepod' for MacBook Pro but this is pointless because it needs itunes to recognize the ipod for it to recognize the ipod. Ehh.
I did a 'system restore' on the Mac but when i went home where all my music is (on a windows PC) it said i have to do the restore again because it was restored on a MAC. So i did the restore again on my Windows PC (put all my music on it) and now i want to add songs from my MACBOOK Pro and its not even recognizing my ipod. Arrrgh the frustration i tell you!
Im done doing the system restore and i just want to add playlists now. Why is this soo difficult? Someone please help a newbie out. Im great with computers and feel like i honestly should have never upgraded the itunes in the first place because i feel this is what is causing my problem. I've heard the older gen. ipods dont work as well with the newer versions of itunes although im not sure if there is any truth to that or is it just rumors. Either way can somebody please take me on a step by step of what to do next? Please with a cherry on top?

Went through something similar on our daughter's old iMac G3. Solution there was to install the most advanced version of iTunes that we could which, I think, was 7.0.something. Her Nano then started playing properly.

I guess nobody else has had this problem?
Does anybody know if you can e-mail apple direct to express how useless their services are or even to try to get an explanation from them of how to correct the problem before i throw their ipod in the bin?

Pple Application Suport isrequired to run itunes helper.Please uninstall itunes then installagain. Error 2 Please help

Apple Application Suport was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run itunesHelper.
Please uninstall itunes then install again.
Error2 Please help i did everything and still have the same problem

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Ipod 5 wont turn on please help

Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore. I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
if anyone can help me please help.
I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

Downloaded nba2k14 but wont show up please help

I just got done downloading nba 2k14 and it wont show up. Do i have to redownload it again?

Sunny,
I assume your new iMac is an Intel one, is this correct? Did you start out with the drive on the new iMac? Did you format it on the new iMac? Not sure if something like this could be the cause of problems or not.
Regards,
Steve M.
P.S. I see that you said that you did reformat it in the iMac. There are differences in formatting an HD with an Intel Mac vs. a PPC Mac. I don't know which Mac you should use to format the HD to have the best interoperability between the Intel and PPC Macs. I'm not really up on the specifics, hopefully someone else is. Meanwhile you could do a search of the discussions.
P.S.S. You could consider using Firewire Target Disk Mode to transfer files to your new iMac. This would bypass the peripheral FW HD totally.

TS1373 my ipod touch 4th gen wont show up in my computer on my windows laptop. it starts to charge but it still wont show up please help

ill connect my itouch to my computer via usb port and it will begin to charge but it will not show up in "my computer" please help

The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Ipod Touch Wont Turn On - Please Help

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn on at all. I have tried holding down the power and home button but that doesnt work and when i connect it to the computer it is not detected by itunes.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is appreciated

Try this before you take it to the Apple store or send it in for repairs:
1. Start iTunes
2. With your iPod disconnected, hold down the Home button
3. Continue holding down the Home button while plugging it back into your computer
4. Hold the button down until iTunes tells you it has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Follow the instructions from there.
If that doesn't do it, time to see about repairs.

ITunes/iPod nano & chinese song names [please help]

i own an iPod nano 4gb.
first question is is there a setting i can choose (either in iTunes or the iPod nano itself) to make the on-screen iPod nano text appear larger than the default? anyone that has chinese songs with chinese characters will notice that the font as compared to english text is relatively lighter (not as bold). hence, it is harder to read.
second question concerns chinese music. all my songs are chinese and the song names, artist names, album names etc are in chinese characters. those files that appear with chinese characters by default on Windows appear fine on the iPod nano as well. however, most of my songs require a program called NJStar Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese characters - those that have chinese music should know what i'm talking about. without NJStar, the names just appear as random symbols in Windows. the problem is, all of the songs that require NJStar appear on the iPod nano as symbols despite the fact that they appear as chinese characters on iTunes when NJStar is turned ON. when NJStar is turned OFF, the names are just displayed as symbols on iTunes. irregardless of whether i update my iPod nano when NJStar is on or off, the names remain as symbols on the iPod nano and i was just wondering if anyone knows how i can fix this or perhaps it's just tough cookies XD
any information is much appreciated,
many thanks.

No.
however, most

Communicator (www.njstar.com) to display the chinese
characters -
I think NJStar uses an encoding which is not compatible with iTunes or iPod. You need to convert the ID3 tags of the songs that require NJStar to display correctly to Unicode. I have heard that ConvertZ is a program that might help do this.

- Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can try disabling the camer notification
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
- Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed? That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

Restored iPod, songs wont show?

It started off a few months ago when one of our family computers was stolen. My brother primarily used that computer for his iTunes and I used another one (this one) for my iTunes. Once it was stolen, we tried to transfer his songs to this computer, and no luck. It only transferred my songs to his iPod. This didn't bother him because we had a similair taste in music, but now he wants his old songs back. I made seperate accounts on the computer for me and him, and I basically erased all of my songs off of his iPod. The problem now is pulling up the songs that he previously purchased. I signed on to his account, and they didnt show up. How do I retrieve them.
Long story short:
1: My songs replace brothers songs on his ipod.
2: Made seperate accounts for each of us, restored (deleted) his iPod.
3: Signed into his iTunes account, music wont show up.
Any help or links appreciated.

So your brother's songs are still on his iPod? Or not? I am confused.

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens? The iPod does nothing? It skips to the next song?
It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem. The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
NOTE: There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues. It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

My iPod does not update it self in iTunes. I click on the "update the latest version for your iPod" and it fails. Please help me.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1539 the movie uploaded to my itunes but it wont show in my movie folder when i want to add it to my iphone. how do i get it into my iphone

how do i transfer my movie to my iphone. its showing up on itunes but it wont show up when i want to put it on my phone

I FIGURED IT OUT. THANK FREAKING GOD!
This is what I did:
I went to control panel and unistalled iTunes completely, then I installed 10.6.3
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes which you can find here
It came up with an error saying that my library had beed used with a more updated verision, basically had to upgrade. I installed iTunes 10.7
After it had installed and iTunes was running I hooked up both my iPhone and my flash drive, I have more than 1 usb port I figure most computers do now, and by the time and date in the bottom right corner a small icon came up showing that I had devices hooked up. It showed both my iPhone (but did not know what it was) and my flash drive. If you right click on the iPhone it has the option to Troubleshoot it. I did it and my iPhone 5 now FINALLY SYNCS!
I'm sooo happy now.
