Why won't iTunes recognize my internet connection so that i can restore my ipod and iphone?

iTunes will not recognize my internet connection so that I can restore my ipod and my iphone. Please help!!!!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Upgraded to a Superdrive...why won't iTunes recognize it?

I recently had a guy install a Superdrive on my eMac. Now when I got to burn a CD or DVD in iTunes, I get a message that says: "Disc Burner or Software Not Found." Grrr. What should I do?

If patchburn doesn't fix it, you made need to open the case back up and double check the cables (ribbon and power cable). Make sure the cables are securely and correctly attached (generally the blue end of the ribbon cable goes to the board and the black end to the drive).
If the cables are secure, then check the jumper settings found on the back of the drive--many drives work best when set to the Cable Select (CS) jumper position; if you don't know which jumper position is CS and it is not labeled by the jumpers on the back of the drive, it generally will be found on a diagram on top of the drive--meaning the drive must be removed and checked or that you'll be doing some trial and error. If other applications recognize the burner and iTunes still doesn't after patchburn and connection settings, try updating or repairing disk permissions through Disk Utility.

Why won't itunes recognize my iphone 3 on my new mac book air?

I just got a brand new mac book air for the holiday and I migrated all my files over from my old computer, but when I connect my iphone 3 to the new computer, itunes did not recognize it in the finder. I was able to sync and back up some files. And the computer knows that the device is connected (I checked in the System information file and it is listed as being connected. The phone also charges when it is connected, and I can sync my files). I have gone through many of the already relevant suggested fixes (used different USB port, changed cable, restarted computer, restarted phone) and still nothing has changed. I am running mac OS X 10.8.2 on my laptop and I have version 6.0.1 on my iphone.
I haven't re-installed itunes yet, as some have suggested as the laptop is brand new.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

try changing USB ports. if that doesnt work and you have restarted the computerand itunes is up to date, uninstall itunes in the order of the article below.
assuming you use windows.

Why won't iTunes recognize some of my songs?

I can't figure out why iTunes will not recognize over 100 of my songs. I recently purchased a 7th gen iPod to replace the other one which was stolen. Never had a problem with anything before the new iPod was installed, registered etc. Any advice? Thanks

Hi dpjakob,
My interpretation of your question is that iTunes has lost its link to 100 of your songs. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Why won't iTunes recognize my iPod, ever since I got an external hard drive

I got an external drive and store my library there on the external drive. Ever since, iTunes will not recognize my iPod so I cannot update anything. Any suggestions?? Do I need to store the music on my hard drive and only use the external drive for back up?

If you want to make another drive (direct or portable) on your PC the main music location for iTunes, move all song files there, as well as any future imported music from CDs, here is one method (see the links below):
You will maintain your playlists, ratings, comments, etc. This will only move your music folders location, NOT your iTunes program files. It is my opinion that programs (i.e. – iTunes) work better when installed on your main hard drive. At the very least, it makes it easier to manage all your programs if they are centrally located on one hard drive (the Windows default standard).
See these links for some step-by-step info:
iLounge: Moving your iTunes Library to a New Hard Drive
MacMuse: iTfW: Move iTunes music/Library to new drive
iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
If you are moving the music to an external hard drive or network drive, after the transfer, and to work correctly, the drive must be running prior to your opening iTunes. If not, iTunes will reset the location of your music folder location to the default.

My time capsule won't accept/recognize an internet connection

I've verified my modem is providing an internet signal, when I plug my MacBook Pro into the modem, I'm able to access the internet just fine. However, when plug my time capsule into the modem using the Internet WAN Port, my Airport utility says that the Time Capsule is not connected to the internet. I've tried using the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule, with it plugged in and I've even tried holding the reset button in while plugging the Time Capsule power in. Help me please?

Suggest that you give the steps in this User Tip from forum expert Tesserax a try:

Why won't iTunes recognize all the pictures in a folder I am trying to sync

I am trying to add a separate folder with 160 pictures in it to my iphone 4 but iTunes is only recognizing 83 of them the are all jpeg and roughly the same size they are not read only.

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Why won't itunes recognize/play from my library on time capsule

I have a macbook air running mountain lion 10.8.2
1 TB Time Capsule
Itunes 11.0.1
Iphoto 10.8.2
Its been my goal for a long time to get all of my music and all of my photos onto the time capsule and be able to pull them up via itunes and iphoto directly from the hard drive.
) the new itunes version updated and erased all of my playlists and most of my music/movies/apps etc. such a nightmare
) so since everything was defunct anyway, I move my itunes file over to the time capsule. Changed the reference folder in iTunes preferences
Keep iTunes Media folder organized is checked
Copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library is checked
Then I went to File>Library>organize library
Then restarted itunes
) Itunes doesn’t pull up all of my movies and media still
) If I click on a song from the itunes folder on the time capsule – it plays and adds to the itunes screen. if I drag the whole folder onto the itunes screen, it seems to be busy copying etc. but in the end nothing changes.
) If I click on an .m4v file, it doesn’t open with itunes and doesn’t give that as an option. If you search for itunes app to open it, you have to search through folders to find it. Even after you get it to open in itunes, I don’t think the movie is stay

You can use the Time Capsule for storage but not as a media Server
The Time Capsule / Airport with external drive can act as media STORAGE, but neither will run as a media SERVER. You will need at least one Mac running iTunes, with sharing turned on, and/or a media extender program like Null River's Media Link which will create a standard uPnP front-end that a PS3, Xbox or similar can poll.
A Mac Mini is often used as a media server... but might not be as cost-effective as other solutions...

After downloading iTunes, it won't open stating need Internet connection. But already connected to Internet. Happened on 2 different computers. How can I resolve this?

After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

How do I get Windows XP to recognize my internet Connection????

I loaded bootcamp and then Windows XP. After several attempts it loaded and windows XP came up. However, it will not recognize the internet connection.
I know the connection is good because when I boot with MAC OS - Safari connects no problem.
I tried the XP internet wizard and it doesn't connect.
Shouldn't this be automatic???
Very frustrating, I know why I went away from windows but I need it for a few work programs...
Please help????
Thanks you

The Boot Camp 3.0 drivers are on the Snow Leopard disk. Just put the disk in your DVD drive when you booted up in Windows and a window asking if you want to install the drivers will come up.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Insert the Mac OS X disc.
If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer and double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
3 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
4 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
