Ipod cannot be updated, WHY??
When I try to sync my Ipod Itune's is giving me a red X saying, The Ipod "name ipod" cannot be updated.The required file cannot be found. I really would like to look at my photos and movies that i'm trying to put in it. I've reset my Ipod,redownloaded or repaired Itune's software.
I tried it before and I am going to try it again and restore the ipod and see if that does anything. let me know if you think of something else!!!!
"Ipod Cannot be updated. The required folder
cannot be found"
hmmm. that one can sometimes hit people if they've
got a corrupt photo cache:
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
if you delete the existing photo cache, does the
message go away?

IPod "cannot be updated. The current file is in use."....how to fix?!
I have a MacBook and the iPod Nano that came with it. I also have a 4G(I think) 20GB iPod. I have both configured to my Macbook, using only certain playlists to be updated on each iPod.
I don't get any problems when I connect the 20GB iPod(w/ the Firewire), but whenever I connect my Nano(w/ the USB, I have to, it doesn't support Firewire), I get a message saying the iPod"cannot be updated. The current file is in use."
How do I fix this problem? I have my iPod to "Enable disk use", but everything else is OK, and I have separate playlists and designate each iPod to Sync Selected Playlists Only, and have different playlists selected.
How do I fix this and/or why is this problem happening?
(and I'm still going to ask any kind souls to check my previous posts and answer my Playlist Question thread, as that is a nagging problem as well)I fiddeled around and I am still having this problem. Can someone help me.

a loyale buyer of apple productsI just got a new video iPod for my son's birthday. We installed it and then upgraded to iTunes 7.0. Now, we can't update the iPod. Keep getting the message "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet". Well, we ARE connected. We can access the iTunes Music Store just fine and download anything else from the internet. We've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting, taking off internet filters ... all for naught. HELP!

IPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space
iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the iTunes music library. But my iPod does not show any songs. This all strated when I plugged the iPod in to the computer to charge it. I lost my songs on the iPod and cannot update it my play list. My iPod shows up in my iTunes, and show that there is songs there. But why does my iPod not show the songs, it is blank. I have run the gambit today, reset reinstall, updates, the works .... Can anyone please help? I just got this thing and it was working great until this. This has been the most frustrating day I have ever had.
Auto update playlist and music. I tried waht you sugested earlier, and it gave me a diferent message. I have it working, I moved one of the folders out of the iPosd_Control and I am able to see the list in iTunes. One of the songs in the folder could have been corrupted. I thank you for your help. I still do not understand the multi folders. This is a good one for anyone else who gets that message.

the full message is: the iPod "THE ipod" cannot be updated. An unkown error occured (-36).
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND WHY CAN'T I PUT ANY MORE SONGS ON MY IPOD.i only have 60 something on there. the message pops up every time i try put a new song on it.
if ANYONE could help it'd be greatly appreciated. thanx.== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

plz help none of my new music is getting onto my iPod.natasha_is_a_lefty_girl wrote:
I should know how much i'm syncing!!! anyone know how to help?
Maybe you do, but iTunes obviously has different ideas - you can see that for yourself. And since iTunes is making the decisions...
So - you need to work out which part of your Library has all this extra content that it's trying to Sync.
According to the graphic we can see, your iPod currently has 8.1GB of Music on it. If you look in your iTunes/Library/Music, at the bottom of the screen it shows how much music is in your Library. Is it the same?
Have you by any chance, added another sub-folder into the photos folder that you're using to Sync with your iPod?
If neither of those things, what about the books?
If not - perhaps there is a clue in the number of Apps that appear to have outstanding updates. I can't think why that should be the cause of the problem, but 152 Apps requiring an update does seem rather a lot. Perhaps that's upsetting the applecart. -
The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold..
My nano has been working fine until recently, when the following error has come up each time I plug it in:
The iPod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the iTunes music library, would you like iTunes to choose a selection of songs to copy to this iPod.
This would make sense except that I have my iPod set on Manual Upload of my songs, so iTunes shouldn't even be trying to move all the songs on my iTunes library on to my iPod. I reinstalled iTunes but still no change. The Automatic Upload of my Podcast feature doesn't work as before, and I don't have that many podcasts, and about 250 mb of free space. Anyone know why Manual Upload isn't working right?The reason why all this is probably happening is because you either have no memory on ur ipod or u have so many songs that in ur itunes that ur ipod cant hold all such as if u have a 1050 songs say and ur ipod only holds 1000 or less then that message would be coming up but dont worry about its just telling u and saying it wants u to get a bigger ipod : )

"The ipod "ipod" cannot be updated because ......
I am unable to update my ipod nano and get the message "The ipod "ipod" cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the selected playlists." Huh? I have the 4GB nano and currently have 3.55GB used and 181MB free. There are 982 songs (3.8GB) in my "ipod selection." I have no idea why the nano will not update - I recently downloaded the latest update for ipod/itunes on 3/1/06. Can anyone help with this? I have no other playlists checked to update in preferences and cannot figure this out. Very frustrating.

Washington state, USAHey Apple: why
does it say 4GB if it's only 3.7 ?
Answered in this section in the link I posted: One more thing about iPod disk size.
All computers are sized this way.

Itunes 7.0 says that my ipod cannot be updated
after installing itunes 7.0, whenever i try to sync my ipod with itunes, i get this message: the ipod cannot be updated, the required file cannot be found.
i was synchronizing and updating just fine with my 6.0. i have no idea as to why i am now all the sudden missing required files. any idea and suggestion lead to my ipod being able to sync and update sucessfully will be greatly appreciated.I have a similar problem - only mine says unknown error -48. I can not find anything on this site that lists error codes.
Original problem was that version 6 just stopped working - just would not load. So, I went to to website, and found that there was a newer version, so I downloaded and installed that. It takes over 24 hours to import a CD to itunes now (as opposed to 10 minutes), and I can not connect to my ipod (see above). I tried to go back to the 6 version, but it said I could not as files had been changed.
So now I am stick with this new version, which I reinstalled, and I can't do a thing.

ERROR MESSAGE: The IPOD cannot be updated.
Please help!! Have tried everything can think of including, resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling and restoring. ITunes automatically starts downloading when you connect but then only transfers the first 50 or so songs in the library, and then says update complete. When you ask it to then update the IPOD through file menu an error message comes up saying 'The IPOD cannot be updated, the disk could not be read from or written to.' There is no problem with the IPOD, because I have been able to update it via another PC, it just won't update via the laptop even though the ITunes has been set up on the laptop as the ITunes I want to use.
Click wheel Windows XPTo all concerned: There is a new Apple Support Document regarding this error:
-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes
Maybe this helps.

In the iTunes window, when I update my nano ipod, I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." How can I overcome this error message.
Hello there dilip77707,
It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
