  • Why won't my iPod touch connect to my iTunes on windows 7?

      It has nothing to do with the usb, restarting the computer or ipod, restoring the ipod, or any of that. What else could it be?

    It's not an ipod problem. It connects to my computer and charges, it just won't connect to iTunes.
    I don't have the newer version of iTunes because it won't let me install it. Whenever I try to update my itunes to the newer version this pops up:

    I've seen other people have been having this problem too but nobody has an aswer on how to fix it.
    Oh and when I try to import my pictures on here it says there's an error -.-

    - Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
    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\
    - Also try here assuming a PC. The link provides a link for XP.

  • Why Can't My Ipod Touch Connect To The Internet??

    Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my ipod touch to the internet. I put in the correct password, but the checkmark doesn't show, yet the signal waves/bars, so I try to use safari, and it tells me "Safari cannot connect to the page because it is not connected to the internet." It only worked one random day, and then the next it was back to the same thing -_- Plus the signal bars come, and go evey few seconds. Please help! Thanks

  • Why won't my iPod touch show up in iTunes or Windows, tried ALL the support troubleshooter "fixes"

    Hi:
    I've had this problem since first connecting the Ipod. It won't show in either iTunes nor in Windows explorer/my computer. I've also tried the same 
    setup on Windows 7, same PC a with a dual-boot with XP Pro setup. I've carried aout all the troubleshooting steps suggested here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 & re-installed all necessary software, latest versions.Can't find any conflicts on PC.....anybody got any suggestions?
    BTW iPod is 3rd. generation.

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • Why won't my iPod 4 connect through the charger port to a few devices?

    Whenever I plug it in to charge or plug it into my computer to add music, it works perfectly. However, I am unable to plug it into a Sony speaker and play music from it. I am also unable to plug it into the glovebox port of a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. However, my cousin, who bought hers the same time I bought mine, can play music from hers to the speakers and to the car. I know the charger port of my iPod works, and I know there's nothing wrong with the car or the speakers, so I am very confused as to why it isn't working.
    My iPod 4 is in good shape and I have had this issue since purchasing. I do have an iPhone 5, so the iPod isn't a priority. If this is an issue that requires a trip to the Apple store, it's not worth it.

    Does your home theater system state it support iPod/iPhone?  It is possible it requires a special dock as well. You will have to check the manual that came with that system, or with their support web site.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

  • My iPod touch will not connect to the itunes app!

    Hi, my ipod touch(4th generation) will not connect to the itunes app, app store, or the internet. It is connected to my wifi and shows full bars with connectivity. However when I click on the itunes app it takes to a blank white screen and says it is loading. It stays on that screen for about 5 minutes and then a little blue box pops up and says unable to connect to itunes store. I don't understand this because I also have an Ipad 2 connected to the same wifi and that has no problem connecting to the itunes store or internet. So I don't understand why my iPad can get on itunes while my iPod can't, when they are on the same wifi connection. Can anyone please help me!!!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod.  However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.

  • Why won't my macbook air connect to the internet?

    I recently arrived at my relatives house and connected to their guest internet via password. I opened network preferences, selected the network, and it connected. Then when I went to google chrome and safari, I was sent to a page where a login password was required. I entered this password and surfed the internet until mid day. Then this evening I went to log on to the internet and my macbook air wouldn't bring up the log in page like it had earlier this morning and yesterday evening. My iPod touch connects just fine, and so do the windows computers in the house. There is a three-device limit for the guest internet, but currently there is only one computer on it. I tried restarting my macbook several times, I deleted the account from the list of frequently accessed wifi spots, but nothing seems to work. Help please! And nothing too technical, I'm not really too computer savvy. Thanks.

    I recently had a similar problem.  I tried many solutions that others propsed.
    My particular solution, I "looked" into my Westell router and found its IP address. Seeing the other 5 devices (all were working on the internet), I saw how the ending number of the address identified the particular device on the router. I went to the System Preferences on the MacBook Air, opened up Network, chose Advanced and went to the tab TCP/IP and then in the Configure IPv4 address pull down used the manual DHCP and entered a new number that was 12 higher than another computer. 
    Example 192.168.200.1 was router, another computer was 192.168.200.68 and I gave the Air .80 as the last number.  It worked!
    I don't know what will happen when I return to my usual home network where it was working as well as on others.
    Best of luck to all who have this problem.
