Version Shows 4.2.1:Can't Update, Restore, or trnsfr photos or prchsd music
I have an ipod photo 20GB and after upgrading to itunes 7.0.1(7) the summary tab shows:
- 4.2.1 shows as software version (instead of 1.2.1)
- older ipod icon is pictured
- the version states"ipod is up to date" and the 'update' button is grayed out
....the 'restore' button is grayed out as well so I can't even restore from my
machine
- I'm missing the 'photos' tab
I can transfer all my non-itunes store purchased songs fine, but when I try to transfer the purchased ones, it says the software on my ipod is too old and that I need to go to use the 'update' button in the summary tab...which tells me I have the latest version! I'm caught in a loop and am beyond frustrated! I tried using my ipod on my husband's powerbook and it's fine on HIS computer! Correct version 1.2.1 comes up and itunes store music transfers...I restored the pod from his itunes, but even after doing that I still get the same result on mine. What is going on??? Help!

with those symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the following possibilities:
iPod Updater reports iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod must be connected using FireWire
iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?
Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

An iPhone 3G can run up to iOS 4.2.1. To update:
- Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
- Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
- After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
- Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.

help me my apps won't update when i opened the app store and tap updates nothing shows up i can't update my apps.
The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. Se the following for what it does contain.

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.
Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)

now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop. I thought it would be a simple matter of replacing the new (empty) iTunes folder with my old one, but this doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.
See these articles about the iTunes library for more information:

I have ipad version 4.3.2 and I want to update to ios7. However, I cannot backup my musics on itune. How can I update without losing my musics?
Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

In Oracle Service - Version: 11.5.9 How can I Update the owner of a SR to N
Hi,
I´m using cs_servicerequest_pub.update_servicerequest and it works ok, but when I set the owner_id to NULL I get an API error.
Anyone knows how to set the owner of a SR to NULL thru this API?
ThanksHi,
Yes in 11.5.9 is mandatory too, but from Oracle Support Application it´s possible to set the OWNER_ID of a incident to NULL so we got incidents with this field set to NULL.
The problem is that we can´t update this incidents without setting the owner_id to a 'valid' owner. (In this case it works)
I have searched about this in metalink but I got no solution to this isssue...
It´s another method to achieve this than using this procedure?

I can not restore my IPad and I can not update it . I tried with ITunes and with the device as well
Any help. PleaseIt really helps if you describe what is happening, otherwise there is no way to offer meaningful suggestions. Just saying "I can't ..." Doesn't tell us anything helpful.

My ipod says it's up to date, but it's not and I can't update/restore
Itunes updated to 7.0.2 and I can load up my own CDs onto my ipod nano. I can buy new tunes on the internet and they load into my itunes library but the purchased tunes don't load onto my ipod - I keep getting a error message that my ipod software is out of date. I've tried uninstalling itunes but keep having the same problem. My ipod preferences page tells me I have software version 5.1 on the ipod. I can see the buttons for update/restore, but this whole section is grayed out and the buttons don't work. What can I do?
When you come back, try this.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
If the device manager is empty, see this: iPod not appearing in Windows device manager.
It's a long shot but worth a try. -
When trying to update my iPhone 6 Plus through iTunes, the download would take hours, half a day usually. At the end of every download, this would always fail stating "the file was corrupted during download". Since updating/restoring my iPhone 6 Plus would take so long and always inevitably fail, I decided to download the 8.12 IPSW for my 6 Plus. Why trying to shift-click update/restore, another error has come up. "This firmware file is not compatible". How can I fix this? Am I just not supposed to update at all now? Where is Apple's mind?
My iPod works again. Yay.
