Won't Eject iPod/Won't update iPod

Every time I try to eject my iPod, an error message pops up saying, "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". I've tried stopping all of my startup programs from starting, but I keep getting the same error.
Also everytime I try to update the iPod, and iTunes says it upgrades fine, but everytime I restart iTunes, it wants to upgrade to the same version it just updated to! (v1.3)
Please stop the annoyances!

Whoops - forgot to mention - iTunes will not quit, and there is no Force Quit option available... any more ideas?

  • TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen won't update!

    I'm having trouble with my Ipod shuffle 2nd gen. Every time I try to update it, it won't update. And when I try to charge it, it will only charge when I'm not using Itunes. I really need my shuffle right now this month because I'm going on important trips and I don't mind listening to the same songs I already have on it but I really would like to have this problem fixed. I barerly got my shuffle 2 months ago, is there anyways I can return it for another one?! Please help!

    How do you know if won't charge with itunes open? The USB port should be charging unless the PC is off, regardless of what software is running. But if that is the case, eject the ipod and close itunes.
    You don't state whether you get any error messages. Does in give you a message the its syncing then finish and no songs transferred? Have you checked your settings on what library (music) it is being filled from?

  • Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

    My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this

    Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

  • 3rd generation ipod touch won't update to new OS

    I have an ipod touch, 3rd generation, 64G, model no. A1318 that has given me headaches every time there is an OS update. I usually end up with an ipod that needs to be restored and then upon restore the OS is updated. This time however, nothing is working. I get different error messages (this time it was error 1602 and then upon restore it was 3194). I really want to update my ipod as I use it a lot and this is driving me nuts. This time I can not reload apps that I has previously (like ibooks) because I need the update but it won't update. Can anyone give me any helpful suggestions please. I have read other threads and YES I AM POSITIVE it is 3RD GENERATION. Thanks

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • IPod won't update

    I recently tried to update my iPod and I get a message saying that some of the playlists needed for updating no longer exist and it won't update. It also cleared my entire library on my iPod as well.
    I'm not sure how to fix this because the only playlist i have is the recently added one.

    You need to check your music settings in itunes when the ipod is connected to the computer.
    Connect the ipod to the computer
    click on music at the top of the summary page when itunes recognizes the ipod.
    see if the ipod is set to update only to a particular playlist and if that playlist still exist in itunes.

  • Ipod Tough 4th Generation Apps Won't Update

    Hello,
    Just got the message to update some apps on my ipod.  Now it won't update to IOS 7, which is fine, but I've never had a problem with it not being able to update the apps.  It says it's no longer compatible.  I'm assuming that this is because the new apps are for IOS 7. 
    The find my phone is pretty important and I'm wondering if the fact that it won't update will hinder it from working properly.
    Also, the garageband & pages will not update as well, and I find it very handy to use it to put down ideas on my ipod and then transfer it to my computer.  Will the fact that it won't update cause compatibility issues with the computer as well, since I just updated it to Mavericks?
    Is any body else having this problem?
    Thank you for your responses.

    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    after that download the ipsw corresponding to your ipod. usoing link below
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/18/ios-7-ipsw-direct-download-links/
    After download hold the ipods home and power button for 15 seconds. itunes will detect an ipod in recovery mode. hold the option key and click restore. finder will pop up and find the ipsw via search and click on it and choose it.
    this should work

  • I deleted my "iPod Slection" playlist and now my iPod won't update.

    I don't know exactly how it happened but the songs on my original "iPod Selection" playlist got messed up and so iTunes automatically created another "iPod Selection Playlist" and I didn't want the songs it put in that playlist on my iPod so I deleted it. But now my iPod won't update because it says "your iPod cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Seems like you've got auto sync with your iPod and it is looking for a specifically named playlist.
    Check your preferences.
    Create a new playlist and sync that.
    Regards,
    Colin R.

  • HT5567 iPod won't update - iOS 6.0.1

    The latest software on my iPod Touch 5th Gen won't update.
    I get a message saying it cant verify because I'm 'no longer connected to the Internet' however I am, the signal is full.
    What's the reason for this and is there a way around it? Any help?

    May be a problem with your internet service provider. Who is your ISP and is it a high speed connection?

  • IPod won't update software

    I have downloaded the latest software for my shuffle and for some reason it won't update. The only I get is Restore. This is the same for the 1.1 version. My iPod no longer plays any music. It only flashes orange and green. Any suggestions would be very useful. I just want my shuffle to work.

    If it is flashing green and orange, this is normally not a good sign. A call to Apple iPod Tech Support may be in order... sorry

    P.S. Did you try resetting it?

  • HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update.  Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch?  My last update is Ios5.  My touch says its up to date.  So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

    Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, 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.

  • Ipod won't update in windows 8

    All of a sudden, Itunes won't update my Ipod in Windows 8. It doesn't even recognise that the Ipod is connected.
    I got one error message from Itunes that the driver had been corrupted and it was trying to fix it.
    I got another message from Windows that it had blocked the installation of an unlicenced driver.
    I uninstalled Itunes, rebooted and reinstalled it without result but no error messages.
    Just had a Windows update so I think that is the culprit.
    When I plug in the ipod to the USB port, I get a sound acknowledgement but Windows doesn't seem to know it is there as there is no explorer icon and it doesn't show up in My Computer

  • Help? iTunes won't update iPod

    When I plug in my iPod, iTunes recognizes the iPod and lists it on the column on the left as "Todd's iPod" - but it won't update the songs I have in iTunes onto the iPod. Is there something I can do to manually to make it update?

    iTunes 10.2.x requires Mac OS X 10.5.x or later. If you're still running 10.4.11 like you have listed in your profile then you need to upgrade before you can install the newer iTunes.
    If you have 10.5.x or later then just uninstall your current version and download the new one from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Ipod classic won't update

    the past few times I've connected my ipod to to itunes, it doesn't update. there's also no "update ipod" option under any menus. ***? anyone know why?

    I have a different issue but my ipod classic won't update either, figure I'd post in the same topic.
    I can download the software but once it extracts, an error message pops up saying my ipod can't be updated and a code (1462) is at the end of the message.
    I have 1.1 and no previous issues with updating or with the ipod. I've tried rebooting it and no difference.
    Any ideas why or what to do?
    Thanks in advance.
