Apple iPod Update! HELP!!

Alright, this isn't really in this category, but when i was installing the ipod update it was fine then suddenly it started into the reset loop. It turns on and you see the apple symbol and then the light turns on then all of a sudden it cuts off and does the samething over again. This really ticks me off because apple is the one that caused this problem and it would have been fine if they would have just stopped pestering me to install this stupid thing. Sombody please tell me what I can do or who I can call.

HP iPod versus Apple iPod (please help my HP iPod is in ipod heaven :( )

I have a 20G HP+iPod that i bought from cosco that i use with my apple computer. Everything has been working fine until one day when i turned it on and a "sad ipod" flashed up on the screen. When i turned it back on it worked as normal so i thought nothing of it. A little later while listening the ipod froze up so i resetted it. After reseting it a folder with an exclamation mark came up. A little later though it started working again and it worked for a couple of days. I was listening to my ipod in the car for a long time until the batteries ran out and when i plugged it back in the folder with the exclamation mark came up. So i went the apple.com/support and it said i have to restore it. Now this HP iPod would not restore. everytime i restored it it would say an error has occured. Finally i get the thing to restore and i plug it in to put in all my songs again. Unfortunatly my iPod freezes in the middle of uploading the songs so i gave up. Today i tried restoring it again. And updating it again. it froze again. I give up now so i am returning my iPod to cosco tommorow...
Now here is my question. Is an HP iPod different than an Apple one. Because after returning my HP iPod to cosco i am thinking about going to buy a new Apple iPod but i am afraid that it might not be any different than the HP one. (and yes i am defienatly planning on buying the insurance for it). Please help! (good thing about cosco u get a full refund for anything)

The HP has the same hardware as the apple one. The warranties and service offered by each company is where the differences lie.
Since your iPod broke so early with those icons, it was probably a lemon and the HD was having issues.
Since you have a mac though, get an apple iPod because HP doesn't support any connection issues between an HP iPod and a mac.

Apple ipods,please help?

We have 2 apple ids and 2 apple ipods and they are syncing each other even though we have them on set manually.. They are supposed to have all different songs and content, but somehow the 2 ipods are merging into each other, and past purchases are coming back that are supposed to be deleted. We have icloud, is that helping screw it all up?

They are not removable devices, they are "cameras" as far as Windows is concerned?
Are they detected as such?
Have you tried different USB ports?
What about different sync cables?
Have you tried on a different computer?

Apple iPod 30GB Help, please

Hi. I just got a new Apple iPod 30GB for Video and I am slightly confused. Now, I have been using an Apple iPod Mini 4GB on my computer lately (it's been acting up lately, that's why I have a new one), but now I want to use my new iPod Video. I'd like to know:
How do I change that? How do I use my new Ipod Video instead of a Mini? I did install a new itunes upgrade. I tried looking for helpful hints, but none helped.
Thanks.

She needs a unique email address
MacMost Now 653: Setting Up Multiple iOS Devices For Messages and FaceTime
You can also
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Yu can set itup in your name/age and supervise its use. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:

Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

IPOD UPDATER HELP!

When I try and update my ipod with the new software it will only let me restore. I have the latest version of itunes and I do not want to restore my ipod I want to update it. I know it needs the update, because it says (needs update). The update button is greyed over, somone please help. Thanks so much.

I have also just been sabotaged by the latest "updates" My older 15GB iPod wont sync with some of my content- I need to update my iPod, says the message . After down loading the updater, when I try to install it it tells me there are no files to install and I am left with iTunes not communicating with my iPod.
As a multiple Mac owner (and stockholder) I am outraged. Particularly as I am leaving on a two month business trip today, and the new version of iTunes does not allow transfer of whole libraries between two authorised computers. So I cannot update my Powerbook to take my audio books and music with me. If someone from Apple ever reads these lists. WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON!

Apple iPod Update Server Error

Whenever I try to run an update for my iPod through iTunes, it comes up with an error that says that "The iPod server network could not be contacted." I have parental controls set up on my computer applied to me, and I'm wondering if that is the case.

Hey there,
It very could be. If possible try this:
1. Head to Start Menu
2. Click Control Panel
3. Look for and click on Network & Internet
4. Click “Internet Settings” from the next menu.
5. When the window pops up, head over to the “Connections” tab.
6. Click on “LAN Settings” located at the bottom.
7. Put a check mark next to “Automatically detect settings”
8. Hit Apply.
Once you have done this, try and complete the update again in iTunes. Hope this helps.

Itunes/ipod updating HELP!

whenever i plug my ipod into the computer it updates my ipod, however once that update is done if i change a setting and hit sync or apply nothing happens..itunes say it is updating but my ipod doesn't respond and it says that it is updating for a good minute or so then i get an error message. the error message says that the ipod cannot be synced, the required disk cannot be found.
how can i get this to work so that i can update my ipod?
also..if you uninstall your itunes then reinstall it will you lose all of your songs? if you can help me PLEASE do..i can't get anything to work.

Why can't you set it to manually update?
Connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Set it to manually manage music. Click OK.
Why doesn't that work?

APPLE : IPOD UPDATE 1.2 HAS KILLID MY 5G 60GB

Guys,
the very least you could do is say yo know you messed up and do the following .
1. Release a 'rollback' fix that will put the ipod firmware back to pre 1.2 state
2. Get the firmware right for once, this is the third time n 10 months I've updated and my ipods died.
If this isn't sorted I'm going to dump Apple for good and get the Microsoft alternative

Hi
If you go to the following Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipodupdater20060628.html
You can download the 1.1.2 Firmware Updater to restore your iPod back to this firmware version. I have successfully done this after installing 1.2. When you first connect back to iTunes you'll be asked if you want to update to 1.2 say no and select not to be asked again.
If you have purchased new TV Shows (I think since release of iTunes 7) you will not be able to upload them and play them on the iPod.
Hopefully Apple will release a new Firmware Update to fix our problems.
Cheers

Apple TV update help

I just downloaded the update to my Apple TV and it said I can now switch between multiple apple id's but I can not figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?

Some progress. After unplugging it for 30 minutes the HDMI output started working again. The AT goes to its main menu but the remote is still not working. I get a white indicator light that flashes amber when I push a button on the remote.
I read the user manual and this would seem to indicate that the AT is receiving but rejecting the remote command because it is not "paired". I would try the remote pair command under the setting tab but I can't navigate to the setting tab because the remote is not working.
Also, when AT goes to screen saver it just flickers on and off every half second.
GAAA! This is realy annoying. I spent a lot of money on this thing. It was working fine before the update. I don't even like YouTube....its just a bunch of silly home videos and 3rd tier pirated music videos. I just want to reset the AT to its factory settings.

Airport not working after Apple sw updates - HELP PLEASE!!!

I have a newish MAC Intel. The Airport was working fine for the last 9 months or so until I puled down Apples usual sw updates. I did them all incl the firmware update. Now the Airport wont hook up. I have wireless to NETGEAR router downstairs. I see network broadcasting as its sen in networks box, yet when I select it and then plug in a WEP and connect it says no can do and jumps back to no network selected. Ive tried this dzens and dozens of times. Lke I said was fine for last 9 months until updates last week...grrrhh.can anyon help me please?
thanks
./david
PS ot sure what OS I have..never checked to be honest
INTEL iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi David,
sunny in Scotland right now ?? (Sorry, just joking)
Have the same one and came to the conclusion that Airport doesn't wait for the DHCP from the Netgear to get a numer like 192.168.xxx.xxx but has already one which is not in the pool provided by the Netgear.
Since I'm depending on this I help myself by turning Airport off (in the Menu) wait 20 seconds and then turn it on again.
Helps every time.
Another guy round here has helped himself by turning off the Automatic (in the Airport preferences) and has entered all numbers manually.
Regards
Stefan
