Rollback ipod software to version 1.2 ?

hello i have 2 30gb 5th gen ipods
one is up to date with the ipod software version 1.2.1
however after updating, it doesn't work correctly with my ihome alarm clock or my alpine car stereo.
My other ipod has never been updated and runs the factory ipod software version 1.2 and works perfectly with both my clock and car stereo
i was wondering if it is possible to rollback the ipod software from 1.2.1, to 1.2
thanks!

i tried copying all the files from the working ipod to the other one and the software version is still shown as 1.2.1 in itunes
any ideas anyone?

  • Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

    I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."  It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8.  What should I do?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

  • IPod Classic 120GB - iTunes Won't update my iPod software to version 2.1

    I have a 120GB iPod classic with software version 2.0.1 bought in 2009.
    I want to upgrade the software to version 2.1 so I can have the voice memo feature on my iPod.
    I am running iTunes version 10.0.1
    When I ask iTunes to check for a software update for my ipod it says, "This version of the iPod software (2.0.1) is the current version."
    This is obviously not true.
    I've tried to download the software update directly from apple.com ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120229 ) but it gives me a full download of iTunes 10.0.1 which I already have installed.
    I don't understand why iTunes will not update my iPod's software. I don't understand why the iPod didn't come with the 2.1 version already installed. According to the download page, this version was released in 2003.
    Can anyone please explain to me why or more importantly, HOW I can get the ipod software updated when iTunes fails to do it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello BookofSplendors,
    And welcome to  Discussions!
    Sorry, but that firmware update is for a different model iPod, which would explain why its release date was from 2003 and not something more recent. The firmware on your 120 GB iPod is actually the most up to date version already.

  • IPod Software Update Version/Release Notes

    Where can I find the version change history for iPod software updates? I've already lost features by updating in the past; I want to try to avoid that for the 1.3.1 update that was just released.

    By "they" do you mean Apple? If so, the answer is no, but these forums are monitored by the Hosts who give feedback to the software developers.

  • Should iTunes version and iPod software version be the same?

    My iTunes is version 7.6, but my iPod software is version 1.1
    Should they be the same?

    No, they are not the same. If you have a 1st Generation Shuffle you should have firmware 1.1.5. If you have a 2nd Generation Shuffle it would be 1.0.3.

  • ITunes could not contact the iPod software update server

    I am a teacher managing many iPod touches.
    I am trying to update the ipod software to version 3.1.3 but using my macbook (10.5.8) I cannot reach the update server and a I get the following error - "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server". I am connected to the internet, I can access the iTunes store no problem.
    Using my windows XP laptop I can access the update server and I am using the same network ID and the same proxy settings.
    Any ideas?

    Forget the wireless modem part of the question. I tried plugging directly into my pc and still have the same problem...very frustrating!

  • Problem with video after installing ipod software update 1.2

    I recently downloaded the ipod software update version 1.2 for my ipod. It seems to have changed the video screen output as some of my videos now do not play full screen and instead have black boarders down each side of the screen while playing.
    At first I thought switching off the widescreen option in the video settings screen would fix the problem but doing this cuts off a large portion of the picture at the top and bottom of the screen. I can only assume this change in screen ratio came with the update and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix this problem or if it will be fixed in the next ipod software update with some kind of option to switch screen ratios in the video settings menu.
    I would like to keep updating my ipod but have since reset it so icould get full screen video playback and have been avioding the updates incase it happens again.

    hmmmm. were those videos that you converted yourself
    with QT Pro, alg2? if so, it might be worth checking
    on the possibility from this document:
    QuickTime Pro: DV format movies may require
    adjustment for iPod
    (if the source files were DV PAL, that can produce
    the "bars down the side" effect ... unlike NTSC where
    you get the "bars along the top" effect shown in the
    graphic in the document.)
    I did convert them myself but but not with quicktime pro will this solution still apply if were to purchase QT Pro or should i contact the company i bought my programme from.

    I wonder if he was referring to this KB Document: iPod Software 2.1 Information and Download. However, when you follow the path to the download all you can find is iTunes 7.2. Very strange.

  • Updating iTunes & iPod software

    I recently puchased some songs from the iTunes store, but did on a different computer to the one on which I keep my music. I then tried to import the songs into my iTunes directory and I was propmted to update iTunes to version 7 (7.0.1.8). Having done this, I could play the new music, but the songs had to be placed in a different directory i.e. it would not place them in the iTunes directory. Next I went to synchronise my iPod, and I was told to update my iPod software to version 3.1.1 which I did. When propmted I disconnected the iPod from my pc, connected to external power to allow the update to complete. Reconnecting my iPod to my pc, I was told that the new songs would not synchronise because I had to update my iPod software !!
    So I disconnected my iPod once more, deleted the new songs from iTunes, made a few palylist changes, and reconnected my iPod. Very quickly I was told that iPod update was complete in iTunes, but my iPod is stilling flashing "Do Not Disconnect". Is this normal?

    I am removing this question as I posted another which was more concise

  • I try to download an app, but it says I need a new version of iPod software, yet I have the latest version.

    I've had this issue a couple times now. I have a iPod touch. It is a couple years old, but still new enough to have dual cameras. There have been a couple apps I've tried to load, and it tells me I need a new version of iPod software. I go to the iPod software version screen, and it tells me I have the latest version available.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Kurt

    See if you can download the last compatible version by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    If not successful then you need a newer model iPod if you want to use that app

  • Ipod generation 1, updated ipod software version 5.1.1 and now my ipod is dead..

    I have an ipod generation 1 since 2005 and it works perfectly till yesterday when i receive a prompt from iTunes store (after my last login 6 months ago) reminder/alert to update my ipod software version to 5.1.1 in which i did and just after i updated the software my ipod went dead..

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • I have an ipod touch 2g version 4.3, can i update software to ios 5, and if so can some please send me a link, thats for dummies, lol thanks

    i have an ipod touch 2g version 4.3, is it possible to update to ios 5, if so how do i do it, could anyone send me a link, that a dummie could use, i need help

    A 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

  • My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    Here's a couple things to try:
    1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
    3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
    Hope one of these works for you!

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:
