How I fixed iTunes 5 and Updater 2005-09-23 problem

After a frustrating couple of weeks I have music back on my iPod! (BTW, I drove to an Apple store 60 miles from home and the Genius told me that if this was a major problem Apple would shortly be releasing another update to fix what this update broke. I would have to just wait for Apple to release some more new software.)
I didn't like that advice. Since I knew that everything worked just fine before the updates I decided to "go back". You can't download old releases over new ones so here is what I did.
1. I copied the iTunes music folder to my desktop just to be sure I wouldn't lose my music.
2. Then I deleted everything connected with iTunes and iPod (including Quick Time) off my computer.
3. Then I used the CD that came with my iPod to re-load everything.
4. iTunes did not populate with my music so I dragged the music folder into my library. It was still in My Music as well as on the desktop.
5. I connected my iPod and everything worked perfectly!
Yippee!

Correction. There are other problems with iTunes and the iPod 2005 update. First I tried to download the iPod software update, and then when I went to install it, a message came up saying that there is nothing to install. So I quit iTunes 5.0, and went to the Utilities folder.
There I chose the iPod updater. I assumed it supported the iPod that has the touch wheel and dock connector. I go to update my iPod later to find that the application I chose to update it does not support my model. This is very frustrating!!! On the website it says it supports and updates all models!!!! I am not going to the Apple store to buy a new iPod just so that I can upload my purchased music. Something has to be done about this!
Any suggestions?
Frustrated iPod owner
After I tried to update my iPod it erased all my music. And now it is not even connecting to the computer or responding. It is almost as if the battery died, and there is nothing I can do to bring back the music.

    i have downloaded ios 6 in my macbook pro but i dont know how to take it in itunes and update my iphone 4s..please help me to do it...thankz shakti..

    you don't download it in your macbook pro.  You download it onto your phone.  When you open your settings on your phone, you should see an option to update your software.
    If not, connect your iPhone to your computer and update through iTunes.

  • After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone everytime I turn on my computer I get a message that reads: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Does anybody know what this means?

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    Yes.  I just solved the problem on my PC.  Here goes...
    Issue:  My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
    The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
    Solution: 
    1.  You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite".  This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
    2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
    3.  Uninstall Mobile Me.
    4.  Restart your PC.
    5.  Reinstall Mobile Me.
    6.  Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
    In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application.  I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
    This is where the file was located:
    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
    I hope this helps,
    Ron

    Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • How to fix itunes 11.1.1

    How to fix itunesu and ibooks in itunes 11.1.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

    how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

    Use the device as designed.
    Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
    If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk.  That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device.  Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
    If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.

  • How to fix "1801-Microcode Update Error" in HP Compaq dc7700p Convertible Minitower

    Hello, 
    i've been reading and reading this post for a several times and i'm not sure will this work on my PC so i must ask, how to fix "1801-Microcode Update Error" in HP Compaq dc7700p Convertible Minitower i've upgraded it with E7200 instead of the original E6300
    here's Product Number: p/n RN120ET#UUZ
    I'm able to boot up and start windows i don't know is it working normaly or not, i'm just annoyed with the boot message: 
    Please HELP and Thank You in advance !!!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    You will need to update the BIOS to its latest version to get rid of the microcode error, and the processor will only run at half the FSB speed because the BIOS update was not written to make the E7xxx processors work correctly.
    You will need to run this software each time you get into windows and change the multiplier to the max.
    Or you can run that batch file listed on the below webpage for it to run automatically.
    http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalCPUID/index-e.html
    If I were you, I would just install a Conroe E6700 and have a problem-free upgrade.
    You will need to use the DOS based flash because I don't think there is a BIOS update written for W7.

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
