New iPod update 1.2.1

Hi all,
I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook Pro (for the first time) and it said there was an update available for it. Has anyone updated there iPods with it yet? Will it screw something up? Does this contain the rumored cover flow, (check out MacDailyNews, some say it's fake). Or did this update warning pop up simply because it was the first time conecting to the MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2gig-2.33mHz-256vram

The update didn't screw up my iPod and no, it does not add Coverflow.

  • New iPod Updater will not download in iTunes 7.0

    When I plug in my iPod it asks me if I want to Download and Install the new iPod Updater for iTunes 7.0, but when I click yes it tells me that I am not connected to the internet when I clearly am. Everything else works fine including the iTunes Store so I don't know why it wont update the updater. If someone could help with this it would be great, it's been driving me crazy!

    I found the solution on my own here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468

  • How is the new iPod Update?

    hi there...
    this morning i woke up and found out there is a new iPod updater...
    i have some converted videos into iPod format...
    i wonder they might cause a problem or be in conflict with the new iPod update...
    any ideas???

    I updated both itunes to version 6.0.5 and the ipod to version 1.1.2
    Every worked great after the updates and my videos work fine. All my encoded videos work fine.

  • WILL THERE BE A NEW IPOD UPDATE SOON???

    Hey,
    Almost all 60GB 5G video ipod owners are having problems with video playback (freezes after 30 sec) using the new ipod software update 1.1. I had this problem also so I downgraded to the original software 1.0 however I am looking to purchase a radio remote that they just came out with but it requires this new upgrade to have the radio option on the ipod. So my question is: Will there be a new update that will fix this bug so that I can use BOTH the radio remote and be able to play videos back without the freezing (the 1.0 software plays video perfect, 1.1 makes videos freeze). It seems like apple is aware of this problem and has not released a new update to accomodate its customers as of yet. Is this in the works (if so how soon should we expect it?) or do they plan on just screwing its customers over who don't own itunes purchased videos or those converted using their quicktime pro? If thats the case I think theyre being unreasonable and unfair. Thanks a lot for any helpful response you may have!

    Your problem is with your choice of conversion software and the profile it uses. There is nothing wrong with the IPOD last update. To my knowledge, Apple never stated they could or would support the many flimflam conversion software makers out to make a quick buck. I had my 30 and 60 Gb 3 days after they hit the market. Both play all types of video files converted using the MPEG Simple Profile. I use industry proven software and not "Freeware" spliced together. I have proved this point many times over the past few months to IPOD owners reporting this problem. Why do my files play and theirs don't? Well on Feb 24, I gave access to my server to download videos converted properly to IPOD owners via another website. My server went to 100% load within the first half hour. Over 6,000 files were downloaded within 1 hour. No one to date via the link I posted, reported any problems playing the files on the 1.1 IPOD Update. Many thanked me for the effort. I don't make my servers directly available to the public as routine, but was convinced this public test would put an end to the many complaints. In addition, over 60 individuals sent me files converted by software that they use or purchased. Of the 60 files 12 were just plain corrupted and the remianing 48 files revealed that the audio and video was not in compliance with the IPODs hardware specifications. I am 100% certain that Apple is aware of the complaints concerning this issue. So what do you expect them to do, fix their hardware or make the software makers fix theirs?
    I have and tested the following devices. All have a mix of different video standards.
    IPOD 30 and 60g
    Creative Zen and Zen Vision M:
    Archos Gmini 402, AV 500 and AV 700
    iRiver PMC-120 and just received the "New" U10
    iStation V43

    Do a little research using Google and you would be amazed at the solutions to this issue you are having. Good Luck!

  • New ipod update breaks Mopar Jeep integration car kit

    I updated to iTunes 7 and did the ipod update on my 5G ipod that came with it. It has broken my Mopar ipod Jeep Integration kit to listen to my ipod in the car. I get the message from the car that says "update firmware," which I assume means that the car can't recognize the new firmware. I'm downgrading now, but what I want to know is, are future ipod updates going to break my car kit every time? Is it something apple can fix or mopar? Does anyone have this problem with their car integration and ipod updates? Also, can I run iTunes 7 with the last working version of firmware, or will I lose the new movie and game features? Any other stories/workarounds/information would be great, the documentation with the Mopar kit is horrible...

    I downgraded to the last ipod update by downloading it from apple and don't seem to have any problems with iTunes 7 or my car now, aside from iTunes telling me my ipod isn't up to date yet. I still would like to know if I will ever be able to update my ipod again or if I am "stuck" with this version of the ipod software? I don't like that I can't update it again without it breaking my car integration. Hopefully they fix that in next release.

  • New iPod update.

    Does anyone have any idea when the next iPod update will be available, considering that it's been a while since the last one?

    We have no idea, as we do not work for apple...

  • New Ipod update screwed up my ipod and now it won't connect

    My computer got reset over the weekend and I had to put all my ipod songs on the computer again. I did that and was about to connect my ipod to sync to the new Itunes. I decided to download and install the new update (which I had been avoiding doing for a while) for the ipod. It downloaded it, but when it tried to install it on my ipod, he gave me an error message. Now, all my ipod Touch shows me is a picture of a USB cord, the Itunes icon and an arrow pointing between the USB and the Itunes icon. I think this means to connect it to Itunes but Itunes doesn't find it when I connect the ipod. I've tried restarting the ipod but it doesnt work and I can't bring it back to factory settings if I can't connect it to itunes.

    hi hanka
    you can do a few things (but make sure that all your music on your touch is safely sotred on your computer otherwise if you reset it you could lose all your music on your touch but not on your computer.
    1. press and hold the home button the square at the bottom of the itouch for about 6 seconds (maybe a bit more).
    2. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1394
    3.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    reseting your ipod deletes everything on it (not number 1.) But as you are syncing your music it should be easy to restore.
    to reset you hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for about 10 seconds then slide the bar to turn off your ipod and connect to your computer it will notify you (if all goes to plan) that its going restore or reset your ipod. if your music is on your computer then your music will be safe.
    if none of this works apple has a returns policy if it is less than a year old and they should replace it unless you have done something that is against the warranty.

  • New iPod update has messed up my Artist list!!!

    I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me out, as this problem is causing a great deal of annoyance & frustration. My iPod recently that there was a new update to download, which I did. However, once I did this, this has greatly messed up my Artist listings. For example, I had the Ozzy Osbourne "Prince Of Darkness" set on my iTunes. Disc 3 of this set is Ozzy with other artists, so the Artist name on these songs are written as Ozzy with Primus, Ozzy with Type O Negative, etc. I have it written as Artist Sort Name: Ozzy Osbourne and not listed as a compilation, so that it still lists under the name of Ozzy Osbourne in Artist List. Before the update download, everything was nicely organized under this one name. Now however, every different name (ie. ...with Primus, ...with Type O Negative) is now listed in Artists under Ozzy Osbourne. This is only one of many examples were this has occured, so as can be imagined, my Artist List is now greatly disorganized. It is very frustrating, especially since I have been spending a lot of time trying to organize my iPod. Can you please tell me how I can get things straight again. Thanks,
    -Colin

    Well we don't even know you, so why us? we are just users of Apple equipment, like you are, well maybe not quite like you are but you know what I mean.
    Curb the attitude and describe your issues and someone may help.
    Here's one to start with, the little grey wheel that went around and around while Mountain Lion and Mavericks got started has been replaced by an blue bar that gets longer. It's normal.

  • New iPod Updater

    When I went to check if there was any new software, I noticed that in the new software, one of the new changes is a volume limit. What is that?
    Thanks for your help.

    It seems to be an update for the Nano and 5G iPods, I don't know if it will work on others. There's more about it at this link if you are interested: "Setting the maximum volume limit on iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303414.

  • New ipod update formatted my ipod and backup failed

    I tried to update my ipod with the newest software last night, and it completely formatted my ipod, erasing important contacts, notes, etc.. And to add to this the itunes back up of my ipod failed and only saved my music. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod from backup.  The backup contains your contacts and some other stuff while music is not part of your backup but is synced to your iPod.  If you go to the Devices tab in iTunes' preferences you can see if you have a backup and find the date of the backup.

  • New Ipod Update - summary view

    I recently updated my Ipod software and now I-tunes only shows the summary/music/podcast/contacts settings. I can't see and adjust the music on the actual ipod. Does anyone have an answer for this? Software version is 3.1.1. I have already restore the default settings once and it is still the same.

    Same problem here.
    On the iPod, if I go to: Settings > About > on my iPod (5G)
    It shows:
    Songs: 0
    Videos: 0
    Photos: 46
    Capacity: 74.3 GB
    Available: 19.5 GB
    Version: 1.2.2
    S/N: *****
    Model: MA450LL
    So it knows there is stuff on the drive, but Music, Videos, and Playlists are blank. My Photo Library appears untouched, along with Extras, and Settings.
    iTunes however, still sees everything as it was before, when I plug it into my MBP. I haven't done the iTunes update yet, I'm still on 7.3.1
    I can't get it to reset, but maybe that only works when it freezes up.

  • How do I move from the 3/23 to the 6/28 iPod updater?

    I have an iPod that I got a couple weeks ago, which came with the 3/23 1.1.1 iPod software. I now see that there is a 1.1.2 version available, but the instructions on the web for moving to the new iPod updater are not very specific. Here are the instructions from the web page and my questions with it:
    To install and open the iPod Updater:
    1. Open iPodsetup.exe on the iPod + iTunes CD or from the web download at www.apple.com/ipod.
    When I open ipodsetup.exe from the CD, it asks for a language (the title bar says that this is the 3/23 updater), runs for a while, then asks me if I want to completely remove the application. The directions say nothing about uninstaling the previous version. Is this what I need to do?
    2. Connect your iPod to your computer. If you are using USB, make sure iPod is connected to a high-power USB port on your computer. Be aware that USB keyboards and non-powered USB hubs generally do not have high-power USB ports.
    Do I need to have the new updater installed before I do this? What about iTunes - can it be running during this or must it be shut down? Remember, iTunes will start as soon as I plug in the iPod.
    3. Run iPod Updater 2006-06-28.exe from Start\All Programs\iPod\iPod Updater 2006-06-28.
    There won't be such a thing if I have done nothing but uninstall the 3/23 updater. Nothing here says to run the program that was downloaded from the Web. Am I supposed to run this downloaded program now?
    4. When iPod Updater opens, click Update or Restore.
    So, what is the exact procedure for Windows XP here?

    I would have posted this earlier, but someone was hijacking the secure login site ("*.112.2o7.net" was domain for their security certificate), so I couldn't login. Anyway, I got the updater installed properly, but as I suspected, there were a few gotchas that I evidently successfully navigated. Here's what I did (and again, this is on Windows XP):
    1. Downloaded the updater program.
    2. Shut down iTunes.
    3. Double-clicked on the downloaded program. It asked me for the language, then did a bunch of stuff.
    4. At the end of the install, it told me I needed to reboot, so I did.
    5. After reboot, I logged in again, and I got a popup saying that it needed to install some more stuff. I forget if I had to click on anything or not, but I let it go.
    6. WARNING! I never got a confirmation that it was finished - I just let it go for about 5 minutes and made sure there was no disk activity (i.e. my system was completely finished booting).
    7. I plugged in my iPod. After about 30 seconds of disk activity, I got a popup saying that my iPod was at 1.1.1 and needed to be updated. WARNING! This was not the same as the popup that it shows where you have a choice of update or restore - it was a different popup. In any case, I clicked the only button there was (I think it was labeled "OK").
    8. After another 30 seconds or so, I got the window that it shows in the instructions, which told me that my iPod was at 1.1.1, and giving me a choice for either update or restore. I cicked on "update."
    9. My iPod screen turned on, but showed the Apple logo. Then the iPod disconected itself from the USB (I got the two tones (high, then low) that mean something was unplugged from my laptop's USB port). WARNING! Don't touch anything while this is going on!
    10. After about 30 seconds, the iPod connected itself again (I got the two tones (low, then high) that mean something was plugged into the USB port). After a while, the Apple logo was showing on the iPod screen, but with a progress bar on the bottom. I waited until it was finished.
    11. The window came back on my laptop saying that my iPod was at 1.1.2, and the "update" buton was greyed out.
    12. At this point, I don't remember if I unplugged my iPod and plugged it back in or not (I know I would not have if the "Do not disconnect" screen was showing. In any case, after this the iPod was showing the "Do not disconnect" screen, but iTunes was not coming up. I started iTunes manually, and it did not see the iPod.
    13. WARNING! I had to run the "Safely eject hardware" wizard to disconnect the iPod (that made the "Do not disconnect" screen disappear, and then I rebooted my laptop again. This is a safe way to recover from the situation where you can't get the "Do not disconnect" screen to go away.
    14. After rebooting again, the iPod and iTunes worked fine.
    So, despite what the directions say, you do NOT need your original CD. Also, you must be patient. I think these problems being reported here are because people are getting impatient, or think the update is done when it isn't. *Once you start actually updating the iPod, you must wait until the window comes up saying that your iPod is at the new software level, and then you will probably need to reboot again.*
    Sorry for the length of this post, but I think it's important for many people to see exactly what to expect.

  • Unknown error. I can't copy music to my new ipod.

    Every time I try to hook my ipod up and press update, it will give me this message........ Attempting to copy to the disk "ipod" failed. An unknown error occured (-69)....................How do I fix this? I've tried reinstalling itunes and the ipod updater, still getting same problems. Thanks.

    i'm having the same problem with the 'unknown error' message. i've had my ipod for over a year and never had any problems before, but now it just won't copy new songs from itunes onto my ipod...this is the first time that it's happened and it was straight after i installed the new ipod updater that the error occured. any ideas anyone? thanks

  • Old ipod updater ... where can I get a copy?

    I had asked this question in a previous post but received no replies so I though I would try again.
    I am (like lots of others) having problems with my ipod and itunes 5 and the new ipod updater.
    I was hoping to download an old ipod-updater - say Feb or June of 2005 and try using it instead of the new one.
    Does anyone know where I could find this? I have found a czech version but I can't install it on my powerbook without changing my computers language to czech, which I don't want to do!
    Thanks for any help! Even if someone mailed me the .dmg file that would be great (or post it on a web site somewhere)

    eBay.  You should get a "retail" copy (which came on three CDs not one DVD), black with a big silver X.  Don't get a copy that came with a particular Mac model (grey color), unless it happens to be the disc that came with your particular Mac model.
    You may want to consider getting Tiger (10.4) instead, if your Mac supports it.  Tiger provides better software compatibility with more recent applications, compared to Panther.
    If your Mac is a G4 or G5, 867 Mhz or faster, with at least 512mb of RAM, Leopard (10.5) is also supported.
    NOTE:  Leopard does not have "Classic" mode for running Mac OS 9 apps.  Tiger (and earlier) does.

  • ITunes and iPod updater won't recognize iPod

    I'm running Windows XP and it shows the iPod is there but it won't show up in iTunes and iPod updater after 'initializing' for a good 5-10 minutes says either 'could not recognize the iPod' or if it does let me restore give the 'Firmware update failure. Diskwrite error.' I have the latest iTunes and iPod update and went through all the steps in the 'Windows recognizes iPod but iTunes does not' Troubleshooting help section. All these problems started when I tried to update with the new iPod updater software and got an error, everything worked fine before. I have also tried using a friends USB cable the problem is obviously in the Nano itself. Is there any way to safely format without using the iPod updater? or what should I try doing next?
    Also it seems like when the nano isn't plugged into a power source it drains the battery, with nothing showing on the screen because it always starts charging when I hook it up to the computer even though it was fully charge before.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello,
    I too am having this exact same problem. My iPod nano was working perfectly until this "latest update" Since I installed that update my itunes and my ipod updater will NOT recognize my iPod. I am getting all the same error messages as you.
    I have done EVERYTHING recommeded in the support pages. Reinstall, uninstall, install, reboot I've done it all a hundred times. I have over 5 pages of support documents I printed up and I followed them to the T. I have 10 different USB ports including 3 2.0 USB ports. My windows recognizes the iPod instantly, but the updater will not.
    I 'm starting to think it's a problem with the update software.
    Please, if anybody has any advice other than "www.apple.com/support/ipod" please post something. I have had my Nano since October and never had a problem with it and I really, really miss it right now.
    Thanks
