Uninstall And Reinstall iTunes

Posted By: TechSlam - 8:15 PM
There are certain issues with your iPod such as iPod not showing up in iTunes, iPod not listing down under USB drivers in device manager etc, and these issues can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes from your computer. Now when I say uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, i don't mean that you have to just remove iTunes and reinstall the iTunes setup file. Well that's true, but you need to take care of few other components of Apple as well while doing this.

The step by step instructions given below will help you uninstall and reinstall iTunes the best possible way Apple recommends.

UNINSTALLING iTUNES

1. Go to Control panel in your XP computer and then choose Add or remove programs.

2. It will take sometime to list down the programs installed in your computer and as soon as it is listed, look for iTunes. Select it and then click on Remove/Uninstall. It will then start to configure your iTunes installation for removing it from your computer and hence it will take some time. Just wait until the uninstall is complete and finally you might get the message to restart your computer. I recommend you not to restart at this point as we are not done yet.

3.After iTunes is removed from that list, you need to look for another program named QuickTime and if you see it, remove/Uninstall it as well.

4. Similarly look for programs such as Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour etc.
Once all these programs are removed from your computer, now you can go ahead and restart your computer.
After your computer restarts, we will go ahead and install the Latest version of iTunes from Apple website.




INSTALLING iTUNES

1.Download iTunes from HERE

2.In the download page you will find DOWNLOAD NOW button, click on that and then when it ask you to RUN or SAVE, click on save and follow the onscreen instruction until the installation is completed. Do not change any default settings while the installation goes on.

3.Once the installation is completed , you will get a window with a message that iTunes installation is complete.

4.restart your computer again and after it restarts, you can go ahead and launch iTunes by clicking on iTunes icon and then connect your iPods to your computer.

iPod Touch Does Not Connect To Wireless(WiFi) Network

Posted By: TechSlam - 9:27 PM


"I can easily connect to my Linksys router with my 32gig iPod, but cannot for the life of me connect with my wifes 8gig Itouch.  It simply gives me the message "Unable to join ______ " (the network I'm trying to connect to)."

Hi
Most of the time you face this issue with the iPod Touch, that for no reasons this iPod Touch will not connect to your WiFi network while your other iPods, your friends iPod does connect to the same network. Well there are a few troubleshooting steps which you need to try to get this issue fixed.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps given below:

1. RESET your iPod.

2. After it has been RESET, Click on the SETTINGS icon from the main menu.

3. From the Settings menu, you will find an option called RESET. Click on reset.

4. In the reset menu you will find an option called RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. Click on it and wait for sometime until your iPod Touch resets by itself.

5. Once your iPod is back to the main menu, Click on SETTINGS again.

6. You will find an option called WiFi, Click on that.

7. Here in WiFi menu you find an option to turn your WiFi ON/OFF. Turn it ON.

8. iPod will then scan for the available networks around you and it will list down the networks. You see your WiFi name listed there? If Yes follow the steps below.

9.If there is a small lock icon next to your iPod name, it means your network is password protected. Just tap above the network name and if it prompts you to enter your network password, go ahead and enter it and then click JOIN.

Most of the time these steps will resolve your WiFi issue.

In case your iPod did not list down your WiFi name, that means your iPods WiFi device is having trouble detecting wireless network. It needs service from the AppleCare.

If your iPod listed down the network name , but when you tried to join it, still gives the same error message, then all you have to do is try connecting this iPod to a public wireless network like Apple Store or Star Bucks.
If your iPods connects to the public network without any issues, then it just mean that your iPod WiFi settings might be having issues. Follow the steps below to check the WiFi settings:

1. After you see the WiFi name listed down, you will also find a small arrow next to the WiFi name. Click on that arrow.

2. You will find the WiFi settings here.

3.Check out the IP Address here, if it begins with 169... then this is the root of all cause. Just feed in the IP address of your router and save it and also check the other settings like subnet mask, router information matches with the information provided by your WiFi network service provider like LinkSys.

Please let me know what you feel about these troubleshooting steps through your valuable comments.
And if you have any other issues related to iPod/iTunes/iTunes Store, feel free to leave a comment and I will be back with the best solution for your issue.

How to Change/Remove iPod Touch Password

Posted By: TechSlam - 10:09 AM
"I bought a used iPod touch. I wanna buy stuffs from iTunes but I dont know the previous owner password how do I get or change it."

Hi.
As I understand you have got an used iPod Touch and you are trying to purchase items from the iTunes, but you do not know the password.

I assume that either your iPod Touch is Passcode locked, because of which you are unable to get into the iPod main menu or you are unable to sign into the iTunes as it shows previous owners iTunes account email and it is prompting you to enter his iTunes password.

Well in either case, you just have to RESTORE your iPod to the initial factory settings and your iPod will be reset back to, just like a new iPod. So just follow the restore link and follow the step by step instruction there and that will resolve your issue.

If you have got any more questions or doubts related to iPod or iTunes, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you with solution within 24 hours. Thank you
