Argh. wont update!

ok, so heres the problem. i have never had a problem with my ipod nano until now. i got a new computer, and i transfered all my music, installed itunes, and put all the music into itunes. i plugged my ipod into the computer, and it wont update, so i restored it, and tried to update it again, and it wouldnt update still. now the screen has a folder with an explanation mark, and has www.apple.com/support/ipod, and there is no colour, it is just black and white. when i open up 'Ipod Updater 2005-09-23' with my ipod connected , it either freezes, tells me to plug in an ipod, or tells me another program is using my ipod.
Any suggestions would be helpful!

I just got an iPod Nano 2GB. I installed the software, ripped some songs from CD and got a corrupt file error from iTunes. The Find New Hardware Wizard said "the specified device does not exist as an installed device", whatever that means. I tried putting it into disk mode, ran the Updater, and am now seeing the dreaded "Firmware error". I've disabled everything I can think of, and it's still happening. I just got the darned thing and am so impatient to start using it! <grin> Does anyone have any other suggestions or should I return it for service?

App store wont update or download my apps

after i just got my internet connected after about a week without it, the apps tore will not update my apps. i tryed updating one and it says this: "snap collage- frame, caption, crop, edit, save to album and share photo creations on instagram, facebook, twitter and postcard' cannot be downloaded. Please try again later. I kept trying it just wont update same with my other apps unless i try to update them at a different wifi connectiong although wifi works fine on my other apps now and i cant get into the apps that i tryed updating at all now. please help

This usually means that the Apple ID you used to connect to the itunes store is not the same one used when buying the apps. Purchases in the store are forever associated with the ID used to buy them. Could this be the issue? Go to Settings>icloud and verify which ID is currently being used.

When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it?

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

My Apple ID changed and now my apps wont update

Recently my Apple ID was changed from chunkster92 to [email protected] Now my apps wont update because they are looking for my original Apple ID of chunkster92.
When I look at the info block on the apps they indicatre that they are linked to an Apple ID of chucnkster92. Apple wont let you have tan ID thats not an email address anymore. So when the apps are trying to update they are looking for my old account of chunkster92 and not the account name format as Apple wants now of [email protected]
When I look at the apps page in iTunes and selct "all" apps at the top of the page, it indicates at the bottom of the page available. When I try to update the apps the next screen says that there or no updates available. I'm signed into iTunes as [email protected] and not chunkster92 which is the account the apps are looking for.
Short of deleting all 230 apps (I know, I could reduce that number some) and reloading them, how do I change the apps to look for [email protected] or reestablish my old ID of chunkster92?
many thanks,
chunkster92

My iPad 1's apps wont update?

My iPad 1 apps wont update. It has the loading bar half across the apps but when I click on it it says 'app name' could not be downloaded at this time. I have tryed signing out and back into my Apple account and restarting my iPad but neither worked. The strange thing is the new apps I try to download work fine. This is very annoying as I can't use the apps. Please help!

I've seen periodic flakyness in the App Store (mainly on the device) ever since iOS 7 was released over a month ago. Could just be another one of those moments, especially with the new iPad Air releasing today with many users activating & downloading.

Reset your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If you continue to have issues, try downloading the apps to iTunes on your computer, then sync your iPhone using iTunes.

Apps Wont Update on Family iTunes

Dear Forum
I have changed my wife from my iTunes account to her own iTunes account and made her part of my Family account with me the lead account. Now lots of her apps on her iPhone 6 wont update. Is this to be expected? i thought that if the accounts were linked then she could purchase, and iunb this case, update apps, with her own password???

Try the following:
1. Turn iPad off and on again
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo
3. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
4. Use iTune (computer) to update/download and sync to iPad

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

You have the latest update of version of 10.5. The next Mac OS version is 10.6.

IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
Any Advise

Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

IPod Nano wont update songs!!!

Okay, when I plug my ipod nano into the USB port and my itunes pop up, the stage where my ipod would usually update itself is replaced with a popup window that says: Songs on "iPod Nano" cannot be updated because of all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
Yes, I have no playlists right now, for some reason in the past I deleted them all. But this problem has erased all the songs and things I have on my ipod and since it wont update my songs I cant seem to put them back in (this includes the burned ones and ones bought from the music store). I am totally confused on what to do, someone PLEASE help!!

I am experiencing, for the first time, a VERY similar issue; except I have MANY playlists, and, up until now, I have been able to selectively manage them on my iPod (2Gb iPod, 60Gb of music). Now, all of a sudden, I get the error that is quoted above, although I have already restored iPod twice, reinstalled iTunes once, as well as selected manual sync, and they all "crap-out" about 1/3 of the way thru the synch-job. Never before have I had any similar problems with my product. Please help.
