  • Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?

    Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?
    I used it exclusively on an old iBook. (POS from the beginning - bad motherboard, replaced, went bad just out of warranty. So I use it for only certain things.)
    Now I want to load the scrollwheel ipod (also POS, bad motherboard where the headphones plug in, can't be repaired) from my iTunes 10 machine.
    iTunes 10 does not see the ipod with it's 1.2.6 software.   iTunes 7.5 sees it but will no longer update itself or the ipod.
    - my sig:  Whatever we're talking about, please don't tell me to buy a new one unless you're willing to pay for it.  Thanks.

    A "scrollwheel 10G" (10 GB) iPod may be 3rd gen...  If it's a 3rd gen iPod, the one with a "scrollwheel" and four "touch" buttons in a row between the screen and wheel (that glow orange), it will only work properly with a FireWire connection.  Although it has a dock connector, it does not charge over a USB connection.  If you Mac has a FireWire 800 port, you can use an adapter to connect to the old FireWire (400) docking cable.
    Mine still works perfectly (it's had a few battery replacements) with the latest iTunes and Mac OS X 10.7.4.  I think it has great sound...

  • I can't install iPod updater 1.2

    I just downloaded iTunes 7.0 and there was a pop-up asking me to install iPod Update but when I clicked 'Install' my iPod seemed to eject itself and showed main menu on the screen instead of 'Do not disconnect'.
    Few sec later on the window, it said that iPod couldn't be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417)!?
    What was that about?
    And one more question, when you click eject iPod then you want to add some more songs, you quit iTunes and open it again, is iPod suppossed to respond and show that it's connecting with the iTunes or it's just dead and you have to pull the plug then plug in again!? Because lately mine doesn't seem to have any respond after ejecting, it used to, anyway.
    Help!!!
    Thanks

    Hi. Here is what I found on a forum. I had the exact same problem. I tried it and it works.

    Forum Regular Hi There, i had the same issues and followed these instructions. They worked for me so, im hoping they will work for you.
    1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
    2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
    3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
    4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
    5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status.

  • IPod crashed, and I can't use iPod Update!

    I was recently given an iPod mini from a friend who no longer wanted it. I mainly use WinAmp as my music player, and therefore used it for moving songs from my PC to the iPod. After some time I discovered that a file I had tried to move to the iPod was an .ogg file, apparently not supported by the iPod. The file failed to be transferred, and the iPod froze. I undocked it and tried playing a song, but the iPod seemed empty, so I figured something had gone wrong, and that I needed an iPod update to reset the device completely. As I only had iTunes 6 or so, the iPod Update wasn't on my computer, so I installed iTunes 7.2, which seemed like the only way for me to get the iPod Update.
    This I shouldn't have done. iTunes 7.2 uses about eight minutes to start up (my machine is fairly old), and when I connect the iPod it takes another two minutes for iTunes to discover it. Everything else in iTunes happens quickly. When I have connected the iPod, however, and it is shown with serial number and version and all that, iTunes freezes completely, making me want to kick it hard.
    So, is there another way for me to update my iPod, resetting it completely? Can I download the iPod Updater without having to use iTunes? Please help!

    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
    I went and checked what version of iTunes I have and I have 10.5.1.42. Isn't this the latest version?

  • Can't Run Ipod Update Software because missing Easy CD Creator 5 Basic Disc

    I just installed the Itunes software for my nanno. When I try to download the songs I have in Itunes to my nanno, I get a message saying there is an updated version of the Ipod Software. When I try to download the updated Ipod Software, I get a message saying that I'm missing the Easy CD Creator 5 Basic Disc Software needed to do the download. I don't know what this is or where to get it. I can't figure out how to download the songs without going through this process so I'm stuck. Please help! Thanks.

    Something is wrong here, you don't need Easy CD Creator 5 Basic Disc Software for the Pod updater!
    Ok, got to start > all programs > ipod updater.
    Run that propgram, does it start? Is it even installed on your PC?

  • Can't install iPod updater or Quick Time

    If I try install iPod updater I get error message: "-1608: Unable to Create InstallDriver Instance" or "-1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time"
    What Can I do? I have tested http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;888019 and http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108440

    Today, when I connected my iPod to my computer, iTunes indicated that the iPod service could not be started and to reinstall iPod and iTunes. I uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, but when I tried to uninstall iPod, the uninstall wizard doesn't even show up (click remove and nothing happens). I tried installing iPod updater 2006-01-10, but I get:
    1608: Unable to create InstallDriver instance.
    Return code: -2147024894
    I followed all of the steps outlined in the fix: empty temp dir, remove InstallShield 8 driver, reinstall InstallShield 8 driver, run Windows Installer CleanUp tool. I still get the same error when trying to install iPodSetup.exe (2006-01-10). I still cannot remove iPod 2005-10-12. The Installer CleanUp tool won't cleanup 'iPod 2005-10-12' (MSICUU Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument'). I have also tried (1) starting the iPodService in windows services, but it won't start, and (2) deleting the C:\Program Files\iPod directory. Nothing works.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Can't install Ipod Updater

    I have been able to download the new Ipod Updater. But when I attempt to install it, a dialogue pops up that reads "Error reading setup initialization file" with an icon of a brown box holding an iPod.
    Is there a way to fix this? This is the first time I have ever updated my iPod.

    I am having the same problem. I originally tried to download the Updater and then lost my internet connection before the download was completed. When attempting to download again this is the message that I receive"Error reading setup initialization file".

  • Can't Make iPod Updater 2006-01-10 Inactive Within Software Update

    Hello team,
    I've been setting up a graphite CRT iMac at my school here with OS X Jaguar, and in running various Software Update installs, I've discovered the "flaw" I listed in the subject line. Namely, that no matter how many times I attempt to do so, I cannot make the iPod Updater 2006-01-10 inactive. I have literally tried to do so about 20 times (after nearly ever other software update install/reboot), but each time I launch Software Update, the damned iPod Updater reappears in the list. Any idea what's going on here or how to prevent it from showing up anymore? Thanks a heap in advance for your feedback!

    Actually, I have been able to make three other SU updates inactive (Bluetooth 1.3.3, iSight Updater 1.0.2 and iPod Driver 3.1) and they DON'T reappear each time I launch Software Update. ONLY the aforementioned iPod Updater 2006-01-10 continues to reappear, despite the repeated attempts to make it inactive. So, obviously something else is afoot here. I continue to welcome any suggestions or ideas.

  • 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?

  • 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!
