20G is seen in Itunes but won't update.

I've gotthe iPod with black-and-white screen, 20gb which is around 2.5 years old.
I loaded the latest version of iTunes 7.01 and it recognises my iPod with an error that it may be corrupted carry out a restore. The restore is successfully completed but I still get the same error message.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks....Dave

I don't know if you already got your ipod to work but I finally got mine to work. It may sound weird but if you hit the top right corner against the table for a good bang couple of times..not to break it. Just to give it a jolt, it would come back to life. First, I was skeptical, but I thought what the heck!! I did it and it worked!!! Here's a thread of the discussion if you wanted to see the orginal post.

  • Upgrading iPhone software 3.0 through iTunes but won't update

    I've been trying to update my iPhone software to 3.0 through iTunes on my home PC, but it keeps giving me an error message saying that the "software update server cannot be contacted. Check internet connection or try again later." My internet connect is active/fine, have already downloaded the latest version of iTunes (8.2), so what's wrong???

    I think I've figured this out.
    Using another PC on a different network, which doesn't have a restrictive firewall, and the synch to Gmail contacts worked...
    I didn't think it was a firewall problem, because in the original attempt, I even used Wireshark to sniff the network traffic for the synchronization traffic. I only saw http traffic to the google servers, and that's not restricted...so I must have missed something in the network trace, but my guess is that the firewall (a cisco 5500 series) was blocking the authentication traffic. Perhaps it uses imap or some other protocol besides http or https, which would have been allowed.
    I also log all dropped traffic in a syslog, and didn't see any entries corresponding to the synch, but again, I may have missed something.
    So, at any rate, it is now working and I'm pretty certain it was the cisco firewall policy that was the problem.

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • My new iPhone 5 will connect to iTunes, but won't let me put music or pictures onto it...

    My new iPhone 5 shows up in iTunes, but won't let me put pictures or music onto my phone. They are both under the same iTunes account and it let me transfer stuff onto my old iPhone 4 before. I don't know why it won't let me now. Both are updated also... Please help!!

    Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I synced it to iTunes, but I didn't think to see if those were checked or not and they weren't. I checked them, and resynced and its working perfectly. Thanks so much!!!

  • No connection seen in itunes but is shown on computer

    I have Windows 8 but with the old Windows (e.g. 7, XP, etc) desktop view.  iTunes installed and once worked to sync files, etc., but won't any more.  The computer can see when my ipod is connected, but itunes doesn't, so I can't move files from itunes to ipod.  Any solutions?

  • IPhone keeps saying connect to iTunes but won't restore what should I do?

    I bought a 5C and it was working fine, but needed an update and had the person I bought the phone off had their iCloud still on. I asked them for the password but as he didn't know me he said he didn't trust me so I looked online and it said to force it to restore I should put it in DFU mode then plug it in to iTunes and it will restore. Now it just displays a iTunes logo (in red) and a lightning cable and arrow. Basically telling me to plug the phone into iTunes but i do and it won't restore, i try to restore it and it says error 1, 3,18 or 2006. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

  • Everything's fine, but iTunes store won't update.

    Hey all,
    I produce a podcast on a weekly basis, and everything in the iTunes store worked beautifully for the first 13 episodes, but the last two episodes haven't shown up in the iTunes store yet (it's been three weeks). I haven't really changed anything else about the feed, so I'm not sure what triggered this problem. The episodes are working fine in my feed (http://www.earstohearpodcast.com/feed), and subscribers are able to download the new episodes in iTunes, but they aren't showing up on my page in the iTunes store.
    I ran my feed through feedvalidator, and it said it was a valid RSS feed. I'm not really sure what else could be the problem, so if anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the link to my podcast in iTunes:

    Don't worry too much. It's not you--it's the iTunes directory. Look at any of your favorite podcasts, and none of them are updated with the latest episode(s) as well.
    I've seen this happen before, and just be patient. It will update once they finish whatever behind-the-scenes stuff their working on, and/or get back from holiday vacations!
    Even the front page of the directory hasn't updated. It changes every Tuesday...but not this past Tuesday.

  • Video plays in iTunes, but won't show on ipod

    I'm a first time poster since I'm usually able to figure out what to do by looking in the archives first. However I haven't seen this yet. I successfully converted some home video and imported them into iTunes. Here's the kicker...only one of the movies loaded to my ipod. I have the options on my ipod set to automatically update so I'm not sure why only one would load.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If your movies play in iTunes but not on iPod... right-click the video file in your iTunes Library and click "Convert Selection for iPod" this will convert your movie to the proper format that iPod can handle.
    Hope I helped.
