Can't Update/Restore/Use my iPod!!

My iPod worked, with all my music, it updated and everything. Then I put iPod Linux on it, and it worked just fine, but then I tried to update it, and it gave me the error message: An error occurred while trying to update/restore iPod. So I uninstalled iPod Linux, and tried again. Same error. So I tried to restore it. Same error. So I reformatted it in Disk Utility as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It still didn't let me update or restore it. I unplugged it and it gave me the folder/go to Apple/Support/iPod thing. I plugged it back in and iTunes opened and treated me like a person who just bought the iPod. It downloaded all my music onto the iPod. I unplugged it, and it still gave me the go to Apple iPod Support. So now my iPod has all my music on it, is formatted as Journaled Mac OS Extended, and doesn't work.
Help!!

My iPod works again. Yay.

    How can i update ios7 for my ipod touch.

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

    I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

    iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
    So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

  • I don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    i don't have access to a computer and so,without physically  attaching my iPod touch to PC devices, can you manually restore an apple iPod touch, restrictions passcode online to iTunes and restore it to store purchased factory settings?

    Sorry but no. The only way to restore an iPod to factory settings is through iTunes on a computer. You will need to get access to a computer somehow. If you can get to an Apple Store, they can probably help you.

  • Can't update to ios7 on ipod touch 4th generation on this ipod. had facetime but now it requires ios7 so i have it no more and used it a lot with family. would have to buy new ipod. apple should not take away the capabilities you have already paid for

    found out i can't update ipod touch 4th generation to ios7 which is now required to use facetime. have used facetime for several years with family now can't use. Apple should not take away the capabilities you already have paid for!!

    No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.
    Unable to make or receive FaceTime calls after April 16, 2014

  • My ipod says it's up to date, but it's not and I can't update/restore

    Itunes updated to 7.0.2 and I can load up my own CDs onto my ipod nano. I can buy new tunes on the internet and they load into my itunes library but the purchased tunes don't load onto my ipod - I keep getting a error message that my ipod software is out of date. I've tried uninstalling itunes but keep having the same problem. My ipod preferences page tells me I have software version 5.1 on the ipod. I can see the buttons for update/restore, but this whole section is grayed out and the buttons don't work. What can I do?

    When you come back, try this.
    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
    If the device manager is empty, see this: iPod not appearing in Windows device manager.
    It's a long shot but worth a try.

  • Version Shows 4.2.1:Can't Update, Restore, or trnsfr photos or prchsd music

    I have an ipod photo 20GB and after upgrading to itunes 7.0.1(7) the summary tab shows:
    - 4.2.1 shows as software version (instead of 1.2.1)
    - older ipod icon is pictured
    - the version states"ipod is up to date" and the 'update' button is grayed out
    ....the 'restore' button is grayed out as well so I can't even restore from my
    machine
    - I'm missing the 'photos' tab
    I can transfer all my non-itunes store purchased songs fine, but when I try to transfer the purchased ones, it says the software on my ipod is too old and that I need to go to use the 'update' button in the summary tab...which tells me I have the latest version! I'm caught in a loop and am beyond frustrated! I tried using my ipod on my husband's powerbook and it's fine on HIS computer! Correct version 1.2.1 comes up and itunes store music transfers...I restored the pod from his itunes, but even after doing that I still get the same result on mine. What is going on??? Help!
    White iBook G3 Dual USB   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    with those symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the following possibilities:
    iPod Updater reports iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod must be connected using FireWire
    iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
    iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

  • How Can I Update More Than One Ipod on the Same Computer?

    I've had my 30G Ipod since April 2006. For Christmas 2006, I bought my sister a 2G Ipod. I cannot figure out how to put songs on her Ipod as we both share the same computer and Itunes Library. I've already asked Ipod Corporate for help via their FAQ section regarding more than one Ipod operating with the same computer, but their advice (which told me to create a playlist small enough for her Ipod and checked as a shared playlist) did not work for me. I'd really appreciate any help with my problem. Owning an Ipod but being unable to listen to it, as I'm sure many people would agree, is quite annoying.

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    However since you seem to have a problem with that method you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    If you are unfamiliar with setting up Windows user accounts you can read more here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • Can't Update/Restore

    When trying to update my iPhone 6 Plus through iTunes, the download would take hours, half a day usually. At the end of every download, this would always fail stating "the file was corrupted during download". Since updating/restoring my iPhone 6 Plus would take so long and always inevitably fail, I decided to download the 8.12 IPSW for my 6 Plus. Why trying to shift-click update/restore, another error has come up. "This firmware file is not compatible". How can I fix this? Am I just not supposed to update at all now? Where is Apple's mind?

    My iPod works again. Yay.

  • Can't update apps using my Iphone

    A few weeks ago my Iphone4 would not let me update any apps. I can browsw apps, and it tells me how many apps i I have ready for update. However, when I try to update or download I get asked to log, I use the correct pw but it sends me in an endless loop of asking me to log in. I've tried using an old pw, and i get told is the wrong pw (which in that case is correct). I get the same msg when setting up auto updates in Setttings
    I have done several sodt resets, 2 hard resets, no change. I have changed my apple ID, no change. And today i just got my Iphone 4S, same thing happens.
    I can update fine using Itunes on my PC, and sync after, but it gets kinda annoying. Anyone able to assist? Would be much appriciated.

    Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
    1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
    2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
    3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
    4. Allow iPhone to reboot; and try to open the apps again.
    If that doesn't work; you will have to try a restore in iTunes; and then sync the apps back the phone after the restore.

  • TS1702 Changed my email (also Apple ID) and have a new iPad, now I can't update or use any of the apps that I purchased on my old iPad because it wants to use my old email (ID) how do I fix this. I have spent a lot of money of these apps!

    I changed my email address, which in turn, changed my Apple ID. I changed the settings of my iPad and things were fine for me, but my husband shares a few apps with me and isn't able to update or use any of those apps now. The change doesn't work for him. 
    Now, I got a new iPad mini and I'm having the same problem. I have purchased many apps which I can't use now. I have a lot of work documents saved to them too.
    Is there anyway that both husband and I can change the setting so we can access the apps we have already purchased?

    You have to be signed into the correct Apple ID in order to download those purchases again for free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out, then sign in with the new/changed ID.

  • Can't enable disk use on Ipod

    I've recently upgraded my Ipod software to 3.1 and Itunes to 6. I've followed the tutorial to make the Ipod be a hard drive and when I click on Ipod in Itunes and go down to the Ipod icon in the lower right corner and click on that, it does NOT look like the screen on the tutorial and on the screen that I see, "enable disk use" is greyed out. I'm trying to troubleshoot why my synching contacts has allowed duplicates as well as loading in emails, which I don't want. But first I need to figure out why I can't enable disk use.

    I can relate...sort of! My iTunes doesn't even HAVE that option. Can you believe it??? It's a brand new (although outdated) 40gb HP iPod, and I'm running HP version of iTunes 6. The manual says how I should enable (configure) the iTunes for use as hard disk--but it failed to tell me that no freaking icon would appear in that little corner. FRUSTRATED
    Sigh.
