When i try to update my iPod

it gives me an error message saying "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." The thing is, I just reinstalled iTunes 6.0.5 a couple of weeks ago because of problems I was having setting up iTunes 7. I can't find the installation file for that...don't think it would solve my problem anyways. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

  • When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message regarding my network connection, and it will not update. Any suggestions?

    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

  • Error Message when I try to update my iPod and Nano

    HELP! I am suddenly getting an error message when I try to update both my iPod and Nano that states "...certain songs could not be added because I am not authorized to play them on this computer..."
    Any thoughts???

    do you know which songs are being missed? (they will be itunes Music Store purchases.)
    do they play in your itunes at the moment?
    were they purchased through your iTunes Music Store account, or were they purchased by someone else (and your PC has been authorised to play songs from that account?)

  • Error message when I try to update my iPod Touch 4G 5.0.1 to 5.1.1

    I'm trying to update my iPod from the 5.0.1 version to 5.1.1 and always I get error messages (error # 9134). The same happens when I try to restore it too.  Any of you know what happens?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
