    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • I have a ipod touch 3rd gen need to update 4.3

    i have an ipod 3rd gen need to update to 4.3

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Are you sure you really  have a 3G iPod?

  • 10.7.5 update progress bar "upgrading iCal calendars"

    I completed the 10.7.5 update on my MacBook Pro (2011) about ten minutes ago. Since then, after opening iCal, the progress bar "upgrading iCal calendars" has been sitting here. I do have a lot of historical calendar data, going back to 2003. Has anyone else had this problem? Will it finish if I let it go, or are my calendars already corrupt?
    I'm worried because I've had bluetooth/external speaker audio issues, followed some directions, tried to boot into safe mode, and wasn't able to (left the machine for 3 hours, progress bar stuck at about 25%).
    thanks,
    Kim

    After an hour, I tried to quit iCalendar. It was "application not responding," so I force quit, and got back in. In the title bar, it said it was updating, for maybe 45 seconds. Now it's fine and my historical data (stored locally) is there.
    I upgraded another machine, and the Updating progress dialog box appeared for less than a minute and then was fine.
    There's probably something underlying that's wrong with my main machine. Guess I'd better get on with cleaning up.

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen is not updating to the latest software, iTunes keeps saying that there was a problem connecting to the update server...

    I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update  install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?

    If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0.  and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

  • Firmware update progress bar appears and computer won't start up

    Hi,
    I am on OS X 10.6 (the latest developer build, whose build number I can't remember and can't look up because my computer won't start up) and this morning when I tried to start up my computer, it chimed, the apple appeared but then a grey progress bar (like the one that appears during a firmware update) appeared at the bottom of the screen along with the customary spinner. This progress bar didn't update and after 10-ish seconds, it disappeared and left just the spinner. I left the computer in this state for 4 hours and nothing happened. It still starts up in single user mode (but I can't seem to get Open Firmware mode to load) and it starts Windows XP on another partition of my main HD.
    When I start it in verbose mode, it says that my catalog B-tree has keys out of order and it is unable to repair them. Also, I get an error message from launchctl: "Bug: launchctl.c:2033 (23930):17: auditquickstart() == 0". Then later on it tells me to convert a few system plist files to launchd (all in the /etc/mach_init.d/ folder). The very last line says "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected".
    I would rather not re-install the system, but if I have to, I guess I will. I appreciate any light that anyone can shed on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Yes, they (the third-party utilities) both come on bootable DVD's. As I mentioned, since Snow Leopard was just released in its final version, the developers may be in the process of releasing updates.
    Your situation is likely to be a case where the data corruption issue already existed before installing Snow Leopard, and the installation process made the problem more apparent (because something critical was installed where it was affected by the data issue).
    It is a good idea to run +Repair Disk+ in Disk Utility on the startup volume before installing a major system update. Actually, I do it before any system-level update.
    You should also have a backup (at least of your personal data if not the entire volume), in case something bad happens during a major system upgrade. If you were using Time Machine, the easiest recovery would be to reformat the internal drive and use the Time Machine complete volume restore utility to restore the volume back to the date/time state just before you installed Snow Leopard. Then, after restarting from that restored volume to make sure everything is working, start up from the Snow Leopard installation disc, run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk+ (just to be sure), and run the upgrade to Snow Leopard again.
    If you have a backup of at least your personal data, you may want to reformat the internal drive, install Snow Leopard and bundled apps, install your third-party apps from their original sources, update everything that needs updating, and restore your personal data.
    If you don't have a backup, the best bet is to try either DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. DiskWarrior is very specialized into repairing this type of data problem. TechTool Pro has similar capability, but it is a more general tool with other features.

  • 10.6.8 update - progress bar not smooth anymore :s

    Basically, after updating to 10.6.8 on my Macbook Air when I move a file over my Local Network over Wifi the progress bar jerks in increments now and doesnt smoothly increase.  I hopw Im explaining it well but it moves then stops for a few seconds, moves then stops for a few seconds.  Its not consistently moving.  It is also say 20 secs slower over a 2.5gb file than my Mini is using the 10.6.7 OS. 
    Any ideas anyone?

    Looking into this a little more, it seems that this is not wifi related as it does the same thing moving files to and from my external drive via usb.
    Could this be due to the new TRIM system with SSD's on 10.6.8 and the way it accessing the drive when moving/copying?
    Noone else get this on the Macbook Air 13inch 2010 128GB SSD drive?
    Thanks

  • Updating progress bar sent from sub vi

    Hi,
    I have been trying to update a progress bar, but have had no luck.  The progress bar is active when a sub vi is called.  It works fine in the sub vi, but I can't seem to create any kind of reference, output, or anything to get it to update in real time on the main vi.  Here is how the program is structured.  The main program calls a sub vi which reads user inputs.  These user inputs are them sent to an system exec.vi call.  While the system exec is runing, a while loop is executing, which is checking the size of the file that is being created.  The progress bar works fine in the sub vi, but when I wire it up to the main vi, it only shows the final completed status.  I tried creating a global variable, which updates in real time, but it still would not update on the main vi.  I am going crazy trying to figure this out, having spent 8 hours so far on it.  Please help.

    Yes, I appreciate that but I was hoping for something more elegant than the attached.
    Cheers

  • Updating Progress Bar

    During the response to a mouse click I want to update a progress bar. I can not get the progress bar to update. If I attempt to update both a progress bar and a slider the slider updates but the progress bar does not.
    code fragment
         class SymMouse extends java.awt.event.MouseAdapter
              public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
                   Object object = event.getSource();
                   if (object == startButton)
                        startButton_mouseClicked(event);
         void startButton_mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
              // to do: code goes here.
              // Increment the current values
                   doCalculations(progressSlider);
         public void doCalculations(HorizontalSlider hs){
                   try {
                        for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
                             Thread.sleep(1000);
                             hs.setValue(hs.getValue()+2);
                             progressBar1.updateProgress(progressBar1.getValue()+2);
                   catch(Exception e) { }

    In this code it is a custom class from Symantec (symantec.itools.awt.util.ProgressPar) but I get the exact same behavior using JProgressBar.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • After a series of very short power outages in my town our Imac boots with the pinwheel going and a progress bar, then the users screen comes up but our passwords no longer opens up desktops, just returns to the users choice screen.  What should I do?

    I'm on the choose a user screen and when I enter the password the screen goes white then returns to choosing a user. The system is rebooting differently when I tried turning off then back on, the pinwheel screen has a progress bar and it takes minutes instead of seconds.
    what should I try?

    You can try an SMC reset, especially if there was a power outage.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If the issue seems like it just doesn't want to accept the password you'll need to boot to the install disc/recovery partition of the hardrive by holding the 'option' key while booting up. There should be a utility in there to reset your password.

  • My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen will not update

    I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch, and it states on the website that this supported to update to iOS 4.3
    However, when I try to update, I get the same error message.
    "This version of the Ipod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
    anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
    I have the latest version of Itunes, I have tried 2 different cables, also I have restored my Ipod back to factory settings,
    There is nothing else that I can think of doing, as there is no update anywhere for me to manually download, and it's getting rather annoying to say the least.
    Thanks

    Look on the back of your iPod Touch itself for any of these numbers.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
    iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367
    Also see this Apple document on the 3rd generation iPod Touch

    You probably have the 2nd generation iPod Touch which is an 8GB model.
    The 2nd generation 8GB iPod Touch was last offered in August of 2010.. I bought one in August of 2010 and the following month Apple came out with the 4th generation. There never was a 3rd generation 8GB iPod Touch.

  • IPod touch 1st gen goes into recovery mode after shut down or lock

    Alright, so I bought a used iPod touch 1st gen from a friend. It was working fine for a few weeks until it started shutting off and going into recovery mode when I locked or turned it off. When off, half of the times I can do a hard reatart and hold the home and hold buttonsand it will turn on. The other times it will just come up with a white screen. When I plug it into my computer, it says it has to be restored. And this is an ongoing loop that I cannot seem to fix. I looked up my serial number and it says it's out of warranty.
    So my first question is, is there anyway I personally can fix this problem, or do I have to take it to Apple? My second question is, what are their policies on iPods that were bought used from someone else? And is there a way for me to get a warranty on it to get it repaired if I can't fix it myself or do I have to pay full price on replacement or repairs?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Did you let iTunes restore it? Has the problem continued? The article below discusses how to put your iPod into a recovery mode so you can fix it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    As to your warranty, you no longer have one. Apple will, for a fee, repair your iPod if it needs repairing. There are independent shops who can do it as well - just Google them.
