Which version of iTunes 9 is killing iPods?
Hi Everyone: I've been reading the horror stories about the new version of iTunes that's ruining everyone's iPod and I have the very newest version...9.0.1 that I just downloaded. When I had 9.0, it recognized my iPod but wouldn't sync it...which I've also read about. Now I'm afraid to hook up my iPod with the 9.0.1. Does anyone know which version is killing the iPods? And should I go back to an earlier version? I'm scared to death to hook my iPod up to this newest version. I'm having enough problems with getting all of my music off of my iPod onto my new computer that I don't want to kill my iPod since that's the only place I have all of my music. Thanks SO much if there is anyone out there that can help
late response...like us mac user the problem exists. There is a problem with sync between itunes and ipod(s) - (classic for me). I went thru fraustrations of re-store, re-format, re-set and a host of recommended soluctions from apple or users to get my classic running well again. No solution yet, it is a conflict with sync on the ipod, it seems that it won't handle large transfers of files, maybe one or two before it freezes itself and iTunes,too. I was ready to abandon the classic but now I'll wait for an apple fix. Classic is a good ipod, but when sync conflict occurs it shut itself down or go into deep freeze...like here in the Arctic

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.
When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod -

I have an old version of itunes installed in my iPod.I had a syncronize mistake and I tried to change iTunes to 10.4.1. Now iTunes doesn't recognizes my ipod because of the difference between versions. What can I do?
I reinstalled the current version of iTunes, 8.2.1.
Current version?? Did this post appear out of a time warp? The current version is 10.7!

? I've got an older iPad and am wondering how to determine which version of iTunes I have?
The iTunes App on an Ipad is different to the iTunes Application on a Computer.

I recently downloaded the latest version of Itunes. As soon as that was finalized, my Ipod stopped showing up on the screen when I was in Itunes and I can't sync new songs and audiobooks to it. How do I get my Ipod to work again? It charges up and plays just fine, it will not sync or update with Itunes. There is nothing showing on Itunes that I can manually sync it, either. That option can't be clicked on. I have no other devices other than the Ipod that syncs with Itunes now, I used to have an Iphone, but I don't anymore

I downloaded the new version of itunes and now my ipod cant sync
I recently downloaded the most recent version of itunes, and now all my playlists are gone and when I try to sync my ipod it says that all of my music will be deleted because my ipod is syncd with a different library. I am afraid that this means that all my playlists will be deleted, and I don't want to have to go through all my music and make new playlists. I just want to keep what I have. How can I do this? Can I get rid of this version and go back to the one I had? Is there a way around this problem?

What version of itunes would show a ipod icon instead of a music icon on my ipad
I sold this ipad to a friend and now it shows she only has IOS 4.2 and therefore can not load apps. It also shows an ipod icon instead of a music icon. It the reason she is having problems the version of itunes downloaded. And is it possible her old dell computer can't load a newer version of iTunes?
The Version of Itunes is not the problem. Its the version of IOS. 4.2 is quite old.
She'll need to connect the iPad to her PC running the iTunes desktop Application. doesn't matter if its slightly older, to update to a newer version of IOS on the iPad.
Also assuming her Dell isn't really really old.. I'm sure she can run the newest version if the iTunes Desktop Application just fine. As the Requirements aren't really all that high.
Itunes 10.7 Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7
64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
250MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

i have old ipod touch which has software version 1.1.5 i would like to know which version i can update in that and ipod and how
You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.
Go here to identify your iPod:

The 2G can go to 4.2.1. -
This has been really frustrating me today, I downloaded the new version of itunes today and now it seems that my ipod will no longer connect to itunes. when I plug the usb cable into my laptop it recognizes it is there but itunes doesn't detect that it is there.
it doesn't even open the itunes up when i plug it in, this is really bugging so any help would be great.
thanksSee TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5.

Which version of iTunes do you recommend?
I recently upgraded to 7.5 after a long time of not upgrading, but when it started working like crap and becoming staticky, I uninstalled itunes and went to 6.05. However, 6.05 is a little old for me and I'd prefer a newer version that doesn't conk out all the time from bugs. Does anyone have a recommendation? I can't remember which version I had before upgrading to 7.5 since I waited so long. It was a newer version, I think, probably in the 7's.
7.2 is the most recent version that wasn't really buggy. It also was the last version that put numbers and symbols aphabetically before "A" and didn't ignore the A word at the beginning of a band name (Now A Perfect Circle, for example, is showing up in "P").
