Can't Update or Restore iPod Mini
My iPod Mini shows up in Windows, but instantly says 'Do not disconnect' even when fully charged. iTunes doesn't recognise it and the Updater usually hangs. I've tried everything including the 5 R's and have followed the steps in this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716. When I use the Windows 'safely remove hardware' function, I get an error message saying Windows was trying to write data to the device - I can't see any way of stopping this, even after removing iTunes and the Updater from the PC. The last step offered by Apple is to reinstall Windows, but I don't see why I should have to do this as Norton SystemWorks tells me everything is working fine. Since quite a few other people seem to have been having similar problems recently, could this be to do with an automatically-installed Windows update causing a conflict?
PC Windows XP SP2
I am having all the same trouble with my Nano. It was working beautifully until today, when I noticed that it was not showing up in the Itunes menu. Itunes says it's not connected, but my computer and it have a fine connection with power, etc. I have tried all of the steps, etc., and have had no luck. Now it will not let me restore it. I get a message saying that there are other applications using Ipod... but I have shutdown everything. I am just stumped. Any suggestions anyone?

Can't update or Restore iPod as "Firmware File could not be found"
When I try and update my iPod Video or even Restore it this error message comes up.

Has anyone had this and advise on anything I can do?
Thanks
SteveI found some information that needs to be published that iTunes makes no gurantees on recommended or required updates at the iTunes store of the compatablity of the products being sold and the updated iTunes software. Case in point; If you purchase games from the iTunes store and have downloaded the latest version of iTunes 7, your iPod will not play these games, for example video poker and Bejeweled. Go the following link and read it for yourself. There are no gurantees either that you will be able to update or restore your iPod. WARNING!!!!

I am having trouble updating to version 1.2. then i try to restore my ipod and it won't do that either...can someone please tell me how to fix the problem? please?
I had all sorts of trouble trying to update - or even restore - my iPod tonight. I finally put it into disc mode. Then I was able to update it successfully. Go figure. I'm on Windows XP.
To put the 5th gen iPod into disc mode:
* Disconnect it from your computer if it's currently connected.
* Make sure your iPod is charged
* Toggle the hold switch on and then off again
* Hold down on the Menu and on the select (the center button) buttons at the same time until the iPod resets
* When you see the ghostly Apple logo appear, quickly hold down on the Play/Pause and Select buttons. Within a few seconds you should see a screen indicating the iPod is in disc mode (a big checkmark appears in the middle of the screen).
Now connect it to your PC, fire up iTunes (if it doesn't start automatically), and try to update the iPod. If the update is successful, the iPod will reset automatically, and come back up in regular mode after a few minutes (once the iPod is finished processing the update).
Good luck! -

I have an ipod 4 and I can't update nor restore. I tried DFU mode and rest all setting. Another words, tried everything that I can think of. Can anyone help please?
The only way to solve this error is to edit the host file in your system. All you need to do is to add the following line at the end of the host file:

Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3? After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios. How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?
iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

Can't update or restore your iPhone 4
can't update or restore my iPhone 4,I have been trying since week by either restoring or updating but the phone isn't coming out of recovery mode,Please help!!!
Try DFU mode:
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Turn iPhone off.
Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
If DFU doesn't work, your only choice is to take it to Apple for evaluation. -

My new car says my 1990's ipod is unsupported, can I update the old ipod?
my 2013 honda cr-v says my older ipod is unsupported, can I update the old ipod or do need to buy a newer ipod?
You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Hi can anyone help with this ?
My daughter's ipod mini has folder with !mark. My computer doesn't recognise it in normal mode, when I set to disc mode and try to restore the software I get a message to say 'can't mount ipod'. It's fully charged.
I am stuck and would be grateful for any helpIf the iPod is recognized by the computer whilst in disk mode, you can try changing the drive letter by going to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management / Disk Manager with the iPod attached and right clicking on your iPod and choosing Reassign. Make it a much higher letter, like I:
Note this can happen when your boot drive is not C:, or when you have a network drive that conflicts with the iPod assignment, or when you have other portable storage devices that are sometimes attached. It's always safe to move the iPod well away from the lower drive letters.
Do also try other ports, preferrably those on the rear.
