1.2.1 Ipod Update Problem and AC Adapter

I have a 30GB Ipod Photo, I plugged into my PC at work, ran Itunes and it said I should update my Ipod. I ran the updater, and it updated my Ipod.
BIG Problem: It said I had to have an AC Adapter to "Flash" my Ipod. I'm at work, dont have an AC Adapter, so the entire day can't use the ipod, can't restart it, nothing works. Get home, can't find the AC Adapter. So what, basically I can't use my Ipod until I get an AC Adapter?
Anyone at Apple test this update?? How about a warning BEFORE you install that says you need an AC adapter to complete. I've done several updates to my Ipod and never got this message.

hi elgoom!
I did this update and then my iPod told me to plug it into an AC adapter. I did, however, nothing happened... It still displays the "plug it into an AC adapter" icon.
i just did the 2006-01-10 update with attractive beast earlier today. what you should be seeing is the adapter icon replaced with the Apple icon. then a little progress bar shows up under the Apple. when it completes you get your standard display back.
... let's try checking on some simple things first. have you tried plugging the AC adapter into a different wall socket and seeing if the flash will go through then?
do you have a different AC adapter available? if so, will the flash complete if you plug the ipod into that one?
keep us posted.
love, b

I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
I'm not sure what else to do.

HELP - iPod Update Problem

Just joined the Forum after reading some of the posts here - you guys seem to know alot more about this than me so any help is greatly appreciated.
My 30Gb 5th Gen iPod has software version 1.2.3. iTunes tells me there is a version 1.3 available but when I try to update it I get an unknown error message (1417).
I've been through the support pages and have done the 5 R's as recommended but my iPod won't restore - not even to the early version. I get an unknown error message (1418) when I try to restore.
On trying to just synch the iPod without updating the software iTunes tells me that my PC is not authorised to play over 100 tracks and it has now removed them from my iPod even after I have signed in to authorise my computer over 30 times when the messages appear!!
This is the only computer I have used to update my iTunes and iPod for over 2 years now and it is running fine. I've had no problems until now and usually update every 2 - 3 months.
I need help to get my iPod updated to the latest software and to get my iPod / iTunes to recognise that my computer is authorised to play the music.
Help please - I've been trying to get this thing to work for hours!!
Cheers, Al

Thanks Jeff but I've been through these steps on two or three occasions before I joined the forum and they haven't done any good.
The other reply tells me to re-format the iPod.
Is this a good idea or would I just be left with a (semi) useless portable drive?
If I were to consider this would I do it through "My Computer" and format the drive or explore the drive and just delete all the content?
I don't want to do anything that'll be un-recoverable. Let's face it I am still able to use the iPod at the moment and although I've lost access to 100 songs I still have over 3000 songs to keep me going! All I really want to do is update the software and keep it updated.
Another thread suggested the removal of iTunes and iPod updater software from the PC and then re-installation. Any views on that solution?

I think I found out what the iTunes + iPod update problem is

All,
I spent some more time trying to figure out what exactly this iPod update/iTunes problem is and I think I discovered something interesting.
I can manually sync my MP3's but not my AAC files. When I sync MP3's - iTunes and the iPod are fine. However, as soon as I attempt to sync even one Protected AAC file, iTunes bombs.
I'd be interested in seeing if others try this and get the same results. If this is the core problem, syncing protected or AAC files, then we may be able figure out the exact component that has botched everything up here.
Chris

RE: manual sync - I mean manual copying through iTunes. That is - not selecting to update the songs automatically. I drag them from my library to the iPod within iTunes so I have control what goes there.
Bummer - I thought I was on to something. All I can say is that I can sync anything but the Protected AAC's. When I let it automatically sync my iPod, iTunes bombed. When I selected manual syncing and moved a playlist, it bombed after a few songs. I tried to look into why it would stop on certain songs, and noticed that it was bombing on the protected AAC's. So, I copied over 1000 MP3's including songs and podcasts, and they copied successfully. I selected one AAC and immediately it bombed.
Maybe our problems are not the same?

THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR IPOD UPDATE PROBLEM (HOPEFULLY...)

I checked this out, did what he said, and it worked perfectly.
GKE, "Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.", 10:46am Oct 9, 2005 CDT

Unfortunately, that didn't do the trick for me - a few more songs copied then previously, but then I got the 'Attempting to copy to the disk "xxx" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to' ....

Solution to iPod Updater problems

Anyone experiencing problems with their iPods only downloading a handful of tunes - here is a solution:
The problem is due to your old iPod being incompatible with the new Updater and/or iTunes v.6.
Apple don't appear to be too worried so the best solution is to roll back your versions of the Updater and iTunes to a pairing that works.
If you have your original CD then you could use that, but my trusty Pod is so old it came with Musicmatch Jukebox, not iTunes.
So, first use Add/Remove Programmes utility to remove all iPod updaters from your PC.
Then go to Download.com and search for iPod updaters. I've used iPod Updater 2005-06-26 which is on there.
Download this and install it.
Plug in your iPod and open the Updater.
Run the Restore function.
Then open iTunes and check which version you are running (Help menu, About iTunes). If you are running the latest version (6) then you may be in trouble as I could not get it to work with this release. You'll need to track down an earlier version. Unfortunately Apple do not allow you to download any of the previous releases.
So, if your original CD has iTunes you can use this, otherwise find a friend who has bought an iPod recently and use their CD. I recently got my wife a Nano so used this disk which has iTunes 4 on it.
Once this has been installed plug in your iPod and it will go through the naming and registering bit, as if you are using it for the first time.
You should then be able to Sync away as normal.
So - in brief, the configuration you are after is:
iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4
I hope this works for you. It's taken me about 30 hrs of frustration to finally solve!

I just downloaded the new update for iTunes 6. and it fixed all the problems I had with updating from iTunes 4. to iTunes 6. Update came out 2005.10.20

instantily recognised my iPod and loaded up and
started to transfer my songs back onto the iPod.
If I could find you Id shake your hand and buy you a
pint!
Thanks.

I would love a pint, but credit goes to casper on here that gave the info, just passing it on, as there is a few posts that are cropping up about this.
Glad it worked, Was just about to send my back after having it two days, before I found the post from casper.
all the best

Software Update Problem and Apps Failing to Launch

Ok, so, I have done a lot of hunting around to resolve this problem, (possibly problems) and tried some of the few fixes I have found, (though all were not exactly describing my problem). Said fixes were mentioned on here and on other sites/forums. Apologies if my post is described and resolved elsewhere. I couldn't find it.
Firstly, my spec:
27" iMac
Lions OSX (10.7)
3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (installed by myself after purchase)
(Let me know if you need to know more to understand my computer further)
This computer is absolutely brand new. All I have done so far is the initial set up and installed Google Chrome and various Adobe software (CS5). Also, I did encounter a Java Runtime error and I appear to have fixed this issue by manually downloading the latest Java software.
I noticed a problem quite early on when apps were failing to launch/crashing. Frustratingly this isn't black and white. All apps, (both Apple software and third party software (mentioned above)) seem to do a random combination of:
+ Failing to launch - icon bounce a few times and then nothing (no error/dialog box)
+ Crashing - Instantly crashing when opened (typical crash dialog box)
+ Closing down - Open for no more than 5 seconds and then completely closing down (no error/dialog box)
+ Opening fine - An application that was doing one of the above three, but now (for what ever reason) working fine
For more clarity (though this isn't a rule), this is what each individual software (currently) does that I have tested:
Mail - Crashing, but now opening fine
Chrome - Crashing, but now opening fine
Facetime, Address Book, iCal - Opening fine
Photoshop - Opening fine, (though I have yet to click around and do anything substantial. Basically it appears to stay open)
Illustrator - Failing to launch
Dreamweaver - Crashing
iTunes, iPhoto - Closing down
But, like I say, this hasn't been consistent, (for example, Chrome has gone through a process of not working, working, not working and now working).
To maybe resolve this I have tried to Software Update. It finds various updates and I download them. Download seems fine, but after clicking restart to install said updates, only a second in and an error dialog box appears stating that the update files may be corrupt. It then just restarts without updating.
First idea (prompted by a pre-existing forum thread), was to delete files found in Library > Caches. After doing this and restarting, nothing appeared to be fixed/resolved.
Second idea (again, prompted by a pre-existing forum thread), was to repair disk permissions in Disk Utility. After doing this and restarting nothing appeared to be fixed/resolved.
Any ideas?

Hi there
I'm not sure there is a way to prevent this. The Skip button is really intended for the review process. Unfortunately it is also active at the time the user encounters the question. Basically, if the user clicks the Skip button they are saying "I don't wish to answer this question". Thus, the question is left unanswered and counts against the final score.
Perhaps another Captivate author has a suggestion.
Cheers... Rick

Ipod updating problems

I am having trouble updating my ipod. when i plug it into the computer nothing shows up. i thought it might be a problem with itunes but when i plugged in my friends nano to check to see if his showed up, it showed up on the side of itunes, so obviously its not a problem with itunes.
any suggestions?

Update: After again repeating the 5Rs (instead of re-install, downloaded latest version of iTunes which prompted for "repair" rather than "install"), a message asking me if I wanted to update my iPod software came up. I accepted, and following the install was able to sync without the "corrupted" message. Of course when the sync was finished, I tried to play my iPod and noticed that there was no music on it (so in fact the sync hadn't really worked). Since then, all I get when connecting the iPod is the "corrupted" message, even after another reset.
Suggestions?

IPod Updating problem update . . .

Well its been about a month and a half since I've posted on my very popular problem among other mini users....
That Windows does not recognise the unit, charging is possible, but no updating what so ever ! ! It has been VERY frustrating... wasted a lot of time on here mainly, trying to find answers, clues - anything that could help me really, and so I went threw a long process (like a lot of you have/are going threw.
Well unfortuneately its STILL not over for me, after completely formatting my computer - uninstalling/reinstalling all iTunes/Quick Time/iPod - changing USB ports/cables..... EVERYTHING thats been suggested I've done. I stopped wasting my time asking Apple for a hand, they really had nothing for me, of course unless I was willing to cough up an extra $60 on top of the $300 I've already spent for my mini to begin with . . . I dunno I really had high expectations with Apple - Well anyways.... yesterday I hooked my mini to my dads lap top with a NEW USB cable - New software - NEW everything - and Still same problem. I've finally admitted that my MINI is the problem, not my computer which I have been putting all the blame on this whole time. My computer is fine, my iPod mini is the one with the defect.
I've given up - and Im sending it to apple - maybe they'll give me a hand and help me out a little!

As far as I know it must be connected to a wall charger to complete the update. I'm not sure if you can continue without doing that. Can you get to an Apple Store or electronic store that might even let you plug in your iPod to complete the update?

IPod update problems

itunes shows my ipod as continuously updating and it won't stop. the message in the itunes window says "updating ipod. do not disconnect." and it doesn't seem to be updating anything because that message doesn't switch to the status message that shows progress.
is this a glitch or something ? i have a 5G 60 GB and the latest version of itunes.

Hi all,
I'm having the same problems as everyone else (updated to 5.0, and now my iPod is on the fritz). I tried the apple solution Gopha mentioned above, but to no avail. I have the (!)/folder icon appearing, so when I plug into the USB port on my PC, iTunes does not automatically start up. When I manually open it, the program freezes. I have tried plugging the iPod in in the "Disk mode", but that does nothing either. When I try to update to the new iPod software (9/6/05), I get "iPod service error". I can not look at the iPod as a disk in My Computer.
I tried reloading iTunes/iPod software, and that didn't help either. I have everything backed up on my PC (Dell Inspiron 1150, Pentium 4, Windows XP Home), so I have no problem "restoring" the iPod. But as I mentioned, I get the service error message when I try.
I feel that Apple must have picked up on this problem by now with all the posts on this topic I've seen. Does anyone have any advice/help???!!!
Few more things: I cannot listen to music on the iPod when its by itself, or when plugged into the computer (!/folder icon on the iPod screen). iPod is 20G, click wheel. I have about 1,000 songs on it currently (so plenty of room left)
Much Thanks
Just saw on another post:

Looks like they're aware of the "BUG".

Iphone/Ipad/ipod update problems

Ever since I bought my first Ipod about 6 years ago I have had trouble updating also with my Ipad and two 3gs phones . Whenever I try to update them they always get stuck in recovery mode and an error 1604 comes up which means that their is something that apple doesnt like about my usb connection so I then spend the next few nights trouble shooting and retrying until all of a sudden it works.
All my other phones Ive had all updated perfectly through the same usbs, Samsung,Motorola.
So today I got an Iphone 5 (the wifes choice not mine) and got home and plugged it in to sync contacts etc and got the "update for your device available" notification. Foolishly I clicked on update and have now spent the last 5 or so hours with a phone in recovery mode trying all the usual things I do to get it to work including updating to latest I tunes which seems to freeze up almost as much as the phone, but thats another issue.
Ive tried different usb ports and the one thing that worked on my other devices which was to wait until the restore had begun and then kill Itunes with the task manager then restart Itunes then sometimes the update would complete.
I also had error message 2002 at one stage.
So I went to my neighbours house across the road and after 2 hours of restoring I got "error message 1" which I havent seen before .
So how do I fix this problem? Do I have to go to an apple store every time i want to update? Do I buy a new computer and hope that the usb configuration is one that apple products might work with or do I take the phone back and get a Droid???
Thanks for your help.
Ps. Sorry about the long-winded question/rant.

So I just gave it one last try.This time I waited for the restore to begin, then I killed itunes with the task manager and unplugged the phone at the phone not the usb end. Then I plugged the phone back in then restarted itunes and did the restore and hey presto it worked.
Still alot of ballsing around for something that should be easy.
Just gave myself 10 points , now I feel all warm and fuzzy.
