When I try to connect my iPod touch I get an error message that the "phone" is not recognized, unknown error 0xE8000084. Help
I am using my husband's old iPod touch and when I try to connect it to iTunes I get that error message. It is recognized in my computer as unspecified under Devices and Printers
Thanks. I had searched for that error message but had the whole number and nothing came up. I followed the directions and now it is recognized. The only thing I hadn't done before was to disconnect my external hard drive. Go figure.

When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- 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
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

When I try to update my iPod touch I get a message that the iTunes is already upgraded. My iPod is 4.1
Do you have a 2G, 3G or 4G iPod?
A 2G can go to 4.2.1
A 3G and 4G ro 5.1
Identify yours yours here:

Do you have iTunes 10.6 on the computer?
What computer OS and version do you have?
If a Mac OSX 10.4.11 you need to update to t least 10.5.8. With 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X and going beyond 4.1 requires 10.X -
Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?
Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up. -
When attempting to burn an audio cd from my playlist, I get an error message that says, burn failed due to unknown error (4280). It has been working fine for months...any solutions?
I have the exact same problem.
Been searching through this site to try and find an answer but still not come up with anything.
The wierd thing is that a couple of days ago it was working fine, and suddenly overnight it's stopped working.
The only solution i've found is that you need to have administrator rights as it says in the posts on the site below:
http://www.emergingearth.com/itunes-7-cant-burn-cds/
Noticed by the diagnostic in your post that you dont have admin rights like me so that mite be the problem. Not sure if this is the right solution though.

I have a 16 GB iPhone 4S. Tonight when I went to sync with my iTunes on my MacPro, I received an error message that the iPhone could not be sync'ed because it needed 6.25 GB more space. I still have 2.5 GB free. I sync'ed last night fine. How could I need 8.75 GB (6.25 +2.5) more space on a 16GB iPhone. I have added nothing but audio podcasts to my iTunes library on my Mac in the last two days and I have not change the sync setting on my iPhone. Something has gone haywire. Any ideas. Mahalo, Oahu Guy
I resolved this after some analysis. Turnes out that iTunes was not recognizing that my music was already installed on my iPhone, so when I tried to sync, iTunes was attempting to load all my music a second time, and there was not enough room on my iPhone for that. I did a restore from backup today and this appears to have resolved the problem. I initiatied an iTunes sync and it worked fine. Not sure where the glitch was. Could have been in the latest update of the iTunes software. Not sure. Anyway, I'm good now.

Is this an iPad issue? Not sure where you are "clicking" or how you are accessing. A little more info would help.

Hello Cvillanueva2769
Start with the article below for iTunes crashing when using it or trying to sync. Try starting up iTunes in Safe Mode to see if does the same thing. You may need to remove iTunes and reinstall it as another troubleshooting option.

It keeps telling me that one of the USB devices for this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I have tried all of the ports and still am not having any luck. I have purchased 3 brand new cables and none of them are working. I have tried to update the driver but it says I am using the most up to date. I have tried to reset the Ipod by holding the center button and menu button until the apple appears. I am not sure what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My computer is Windows Vista!
Hello butterflygirlie,
Have you tried uninstalling the driver for your iPod from within Device Manager? After uninstalling it, go ahead and unplug your iPod and plug it back in. Doing so should cause your system to locate the proper driver for it.

My ipod is the 4.3.5 version. It is driving me nuts! I have tried disabling different softwares, updating Itunes, and restarting my computer over and over. It says server cannot be contacted yet everytime I open iTunes, it pops up at least twice saying to update.
Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)
