Clicking "No Thanks" doesn't take me to iPod Summary

Whenever I plug in my iPod touch, a screen appears telling me about the January Update, but when I click on "No Thanks", a different sceen appears telling me what I need to do to get the January Update with just an "OK" button. I can't get to the standard iPod Summary page. Anyone know how I can get rid of the January Update reminders? (without having to purchase the January Update).
 
Yeah, it's doing the same for me today. Seems like the 10.5.2 upgrade might have something to do with this.
 
Try killing your network connection when you start up iTunes.

It's working for me if I block web traffic to Apple, so I'd imagine killing the connection entirely should work.
 
Same problem here, since Monday night. As if that annoying error message wasn't enough, now I can't even sync my iPod. I've already dealt with Apple Support over this issue and they've been no help. Using OSX 10.4.11 / iTunes 7.6
 
You can still sync, just do what tip said above, or right click on the iPod to the left in iTunes and select Sync.
 
Ah, I see. Thanks. Although, you still need to shut off your internet connection to be able to manage your music, photos, videos, etc. so this hardly seems like a solution. I will right click/sync from now on to update my podcasts but I personally manually manage my music and videos, and I'm not looking forward to disabling my internet every time I want to add music, photos or videos.
 
If you're on a Mac, you can use Little Snitch to block iTunes' internet connection. I tried it yesterday and it worked well.

Or, you can follow this guide to get back to 7.5, which I also tried yesterday ;) and it worked as advertised. Good stuff.
 
I have a way without closing your internet connection.

In the info bar at the top, when iTunes store is loading, hit the little x on the right side. You can manage your touch manually instead of syncing it. Cheers.
 
Yeah, guess what? I've had to put up with that stupid message not taking me to the summary in the middle of jailbreaking. Apple: I'm not going to buy your over pricedapps, so take me to my damn summary!
 
Today I pressed No Thanks again. Then it did not take me to the upgrade summary, it showed me an error. Then everything is back normal.

I did not use any firewalls to block the iTunes network connection.

Don't know why this happened. :eek:

Click to expand...

that's what used to happen to me before the 10.5.2 update. Although I don't know why the update would affect my windows iTunes. I'm happy enough with the error bit I would really appreciate it if the January update sceen didn't appear at all.
 
another way to bypass the update page i accidentally discovered, is to simply turn off your internet connection when you connect your ipod, then once the summary page is up, you can reconnect.
 
I had a similar problem on a Windows Vista machine...I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes and the problem went away.
