When I try to sync my ipod to itunes I keep getting an error about the software being incorrect

i cannot get itunes to recognize my ipod.  I get a software error.  I think I am missing Apple Mobile Device but have no idea where to go to install it

    Every time  i try to submit my podcast to the itunes store i get an error that say this
    we could not complete your itunes store request. an unknown error occurred (11111)
    there was an error in the itunes store please try again later.
    so i try again and hit continue then it takes to me a page and says this
    your request could not be completed.
    make sure your computers date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes music store.

  • When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise?

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • When I try to sync my iPod to iTunes it says I don't have access privilege

    I bought some songs on my iTouch, but when I try to sync them to my computer it says I don't have access privileges to do so, but it only works when it try to sync apps, what do I do?

    Did you try authorizeing your iTouch on iTunes under the store tab?

  • TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1.  Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

    Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1).  I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly.  Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?  I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired.  Please reinstall iTunes..."  I have done this a number of times to no avail.

    I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
    That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
    The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    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/
    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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • When I try to sync my ipod to itunes it automatically backs up my ipod.

    Which when it trys to back it up it freezes. Is there a way to sync my ipod without backing it up? My ipod has been connected to itunes for over 18 hours and has made no progress.

    Try deleting or moving to a save place the existing backup file.  It is located here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You have to have Show Hidden files turned on.
    You can just delete it by going to Preferences in iTunes and deleting the backup by going to the Devices tab.

  • When i go to sync my ipod nano 5th generation i get an error saying "A duplicate file name was specified".  what do i do then?

    I am trying to sync my iPod nano 5th generation to my computer and when i go to add music through iTunes i get the following message:
    The iPod "X's iPod" cannot be synced.  A duplicate file name was specified.  Any ideas how to fix this?
    On my computer (iMac) while in iTunes it is showing that the music is indeed on my iPod, but when i eject the iPod there is nothing there.

    I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes.  I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes.  What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC.  I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

  • HT203174 When I try to sync my iPhone to iTunes it gives me a message with the error (-54). Does anyone know what this means?

    I own an iPhone 5s, but this also seems to occur with any of the other devices I try to back up or sync.

    Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
    Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
    Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
    In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).

  • When I try to read Yahoo mail on Mozilla, I keep getting sent back to the "type in password" page and I can't get into my mail.

    I can open Yahoo mail in Explorer but I prefer Firefox. I can get into one of my e-mail accounts on web server but when I click onto another account, I keep getting tossed back to type in password on and on... and not able to get into my accounts.

  • HT1420 I had to wipe out my pc and start again i found all my music, but when i try to sync my ipod it's telling me I need to authorize the music I have of my sisters, I've tried deauthorize all, that didn't work, what do I need to do?

    I had to wipe out my PC and start again from scratch, found all my music and uplaoded that to my Itunes but now I can't play my music from my sister says I have 5 authorized, have tried to deautorize all and still nothing?  Do I need her to do this or how can i fix this?

    If you have a graphic of iTunes and a cable displayed on your iDevice then it is in Recovery mode.
