IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.

  • Itunes could not contact iPod update server ...not connected to internet

    Please help. I have: Win XP Pro, SP2; itunes 7.0.1.8. iPod ver. 1.1 5G Video iPod. Am getting error: "itunes could not contact the iPod update server because you are not connected to the Internet."
    But I am connected to the internet, and can download podcasts and access itunes store. But I cannot download ipod ver. 1.2, and thus I assume this is the reason that I am getting incomplete syncs on video podcasts.
    I have followed the Apple site's recommendation to ensure the LAN settings button is set to "Automatically Detect Settings" but I still get the error.
    I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it again; still getting error. I have disabled my firewall; still no luck.
    I welcome any help, please!! Thanks.

    I have been trying for 3 hours to make this work -- I've checked the box and tried; unchecked the box; rechecked, rebooted and tried ... you get the picture.
    hmmmm.
    by any chance, are you using a proxy? in the context of Store connections, i've seen a problem with a proxy cause a connection issue, even though the network diagnostics looked perfectly clean.
    working on that theory, if you are using a proxy perhaps try the techniques from this document:
    iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
    or perhaps just try to see if the connection to the update server goes through if you if you try this without the proxy.

  • Software update causes iPhone to not connect with iTunes

    I did a software update this morning. The three updates were: "iDVD Update", 'Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update", and "Safari". After that my two iPhones (one is my wife's) can not connect to iTunes, nor iPhoto. I switched cables and the connection port with no success. Had to be the updates as there is nothing else different that I did. And yes, I restarted both the computer and iPhones, several times. Need help!

    I had the same problem. My update was the new itunes along with your listed updates and my iphone takes over 3 hours to sync if it actually syncs at all. I get the spinning color wheel and can't use the rest of my computer. iPhone 3G, macBook Pro with all the available updates. Please help.

  • Itunes not connecting with store & won't update iphone 4

    First, please don't tell me to look through the archives, because I already did and can't find a solution.  If you have 5 hours to search for me, please do so and let me know what thread the answer is in.
    After the second to last itunes update (back in July/August, maybe?), itunes would not connect to the store.  When I went to update my iphone to the latest software, it would start backing up and then stay there forever.  When the next (latest) itunes update popped up a few weeks ago, I was thrilled because I thought the problem would be solved.  No dice.
    I've uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated.  The only thing I haven't done is downgraded but that is because one, I can't find an old version of itunes, and two, I read in other threads this didn't work anyway.  I've deauthorized and reauthorized my computer.  That didn't work.  I can't sync, update, or back up my iphone. 
    Does anyone have any other advice???
    Thank you!
    PS I just noticed that somehow I DO have the latest version of the iOS, but not sure how this happened since the iphone never connected with itunes.

    Had some time at lunch to work on this issue. On my Win 7 PC I noticed the Apple USB drive had an ! mark on it in the device manager. I right clicked on it and updated driver software. I picked the automatically search for new driver. Now it works.

  • ITunes not compatible with iPod Touch 4th gen (problem with Windows 64 bit)

    So I've been trying for about a month or so to sync my iPod Touch to iTunes but ever since i updated it to iTunes 11 it has been saying that i need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. I've done that twice this week alone and its still not working, saying again that i need the 64 bit which I already have. I've ended up completely erasing previous iTunes data to see if that would help, but that just ended up being more hassle. I don't think its just my iPod, because it refuses to sync my iPad 2 manually as well.
    Please help me, i'm at my wits end.

    You are very perceptive - has nothing to do with your ipod, has to do with your Windows. You can try couple things.
    One - reinstall itunes "apple way" and when downloading disable your anitvirus.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    please make sure that you completed not only step one, but also step two.
    Then disable your antivirus and go to step three.
    iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64 - Apple - Support
    if that does not work go to thing number two.
    Two - come back here with precise text of the message, see if anybody had it before.

  • Itunes  not working with ipod tuch :(

    hi got an ipod tuch for christmas and when i open itunes with it plugged it an error message comes up saying "this ipod cannot because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes then install itunes again." ive tried this several times but the same message comes up. I know its not the ipod as it works in other computers. Apple mobile device support doesnt download with itunes every time i download it. any idead?
    thanks

    I just bought a 32GB Touch yesterday...:) I had exactly the same problem. I reinstalled ITunes several times with the same result. Finally I uninstalled anything that had to do with Apple - Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, QuickTime, and ITunes. Then I deleted ProgramData->Apple and Apple Computer, then I created a temp folder unde my user folder and moved "User"->AppData->Local->Apple and Apple Computer to the temp folder, then I moved "User"->AppData->LocalLow->Apple Computer to the temp folder, then I moved the "User"->AppData->Roaming->Apple Computer to the temp folder. Then I reinstalled ITunes. Then I ran ITunes and the IPod was recognized and I registered it, etc. Then I quit ITunes and copied ITunesPrefs from the temp Folder (Local->Apple Computer->ITunes) to "User"->AppData->Local->Apple Computer->ITunes). That way I could rerun ITunes with my previous settings for podcast, music, etc. Sounds like it's complicated, but I just wanted to save the AppData stuff just incase . Everything is working well now. Hope this helps. cottongd

    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • Updated apps on iTunes not syncing with iPhone 4S

    Hello!
    I've synced the iPhone 4S with iTunes 10.5, and in iTunes there are 53 apps with available updates (I'm choosing not to update some), but in the App Store app on the phone there's a badge saying there are 87 available updates.  I've never experienced this discrepancy before.  Some of the apps in the phone's Updates section of the App Store are apps that I've already updated in iTunes.  So the sync doesn't seem to be installing them in the phone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

  • ITunes not syncing with iPod in Windows 7 64 bit

    I installed the 64 bit version of iTunes 10.5 on my 64 bit version of windows 7 on my hp dv6 laptop. No matter what I do everytime I connect the ipod to the laptop, itunes always tells me I need to uninstall itunes and install the 64 bit version even though that is the version that is installed.

    I'm guessing no body knows the answer to this problem.
