Can't re-install iPod software

I recently made a clean installation of my system software (10.4.2) and as a result I need to re-install my iPod software. I have a 3G 20GB iPod, and when I try to install the software from the CD I get a message saying I need to install OS X Networking Update. The only reference I can find to this is Networking Update 1.0, which appears to be for a much earlier version of OS X. Should I install this update and if not, how do I re-install my iPod software?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chuck
Installing the latest update from the link that you provided was the first thing I tried, but unfortunately for some reason it wouldn't install on my Mac. The Easy Install option told me that the update couldn't be installed as there was nothing selected; Custom Install wouldn't allow me to check either of the boxes (they were both greyed-out and unchecked) and, thus, it couldn't be installed that way either. This was why I had the idea of going back to my original installer CD and taking it from there.
Thanks for your suggestion anyway – I'll keep trying.

  • Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software

    Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
    My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

    The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
    I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
    If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    Normally Microsft allows the installation of their programs, except Operating Systems, to be installed on a desktop and notebook at the same time as long as both system are used exclusively by the same person and Not at the same time.
    So this should also be true for MS Office for Mac. The only way to tell is to install it on the Mini and then use the same key to activate it. If the activation goes through you are fine. But if you run both system at the same time do not open any of the Office programs on both system at the same time. That may trigger MS to disallow one of the activations.
    MS Office for both Mac and Windows checks the local network and logs into the MS activation site everytime one of the apps is started to check current activation and to check if you have it running on more then one computer on your local network using the same key.

    Can I still download iPod software updates?
    Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.

    This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

  • Do I need to install IPod software if I have done it before?

  • Computer crashed after installing ipod software

    Please, help. My Dell computer wouldn't restart after installing the software for a brand new ipod nano. I'm afraid that it's related to the software CD and I don't know how to get another one under warranty. I just want them to send me a new software CD. Any suggestions?

    Not sure if this will actually solve you problem, but...
    there's no need to order a new software CD.
    You can download all of the necessary iPod software from Apple's website. In fact, this is often preferred over using the CD, since the website will have the latest versions, while the shipping CD might be slightly out of date.
    Here's some links to download the software:
    iTunes 6
    iPod Updater
    EDIT: Just realized I might be giving some pretty bad advice since your computer won't boot. Obviously my suggestion will only work if you have a bootable machine with Internet access.
    My apologies.
    Perhaps if there is an Apple store nearby, you can ask the folks there to put the software on CD for you. Even still, this might be a moot point since you don't have a working computer. You might want to reach out to Dell and get your system in a functional state before proceeding with the iTunes/iPod setup.

  • Installing iPod software on a new pc will loose all info on my iPod?

    i did not save my i-pod library on the software and i am now gonna install the software on a new pc. when i plug my iPod in will i loose all its memory? is there any way to avoid this?

    While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box. Managing Your Songs Manually. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased.
    Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Installing iPOD software onto a new (second) computer?

    Hi,
    Sorry I'm new to the whole iPOD/mp3 player scene. Well about 2 months ago I installed my iPOD software onto my family's computer. Well my parents just bought me a new computer that I'm taking to college. I read that I can only install the software from the CD once on one computer? Is this true and if so how do I get the iPOD software onto my new comp and transfer my library? Well thanks alot.

    Congratulations on the new computer, Joshua. It would help us if we knew if it was a Mac or a PC, however.
    You'll need to transfer your music first. Use any of the following three options:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
    iPod Agent
    You can use the CD as many times as you want. However, the software on it is probably out of date. Download what you need from the links below. Install iTunes first, then the iPod Updater. Then run the Updater (Start - Programs - iPod) and only connect your iPod when it tells you to. Choose the Update option.

  • Installing ipod software onto mac G4 running Osx

    I have a imac G4 running osx 10.0. I am able to connect my Fifth gen ipod to charge but it will not allow me to install the software that it came with. When I click on the install icon nothing happens. Can I still transfer music etc. onto the ipod with out installing the software?

    Are you really running a 10.0.x version of OSX?
    That's basically a beta version of OSX, and it is very unstable, buggy, and out of date.
    I'm pretty sure there's no way your iPod is going to work on your system with 10.0
    You should strongly consider purchasing and upgrading your operating system to a newer version.
    The new iPod requires at least 10.3.9.

  • Installing ipod software disables cd drive

    Hi all,
    I've recently bought an ipod shuffle and installed everything onto my hp Pavilion zv5000 laptop. Installing the ipod software and itunes / quickplayer all works fine, and i can run and use my ipod, BUT once i have done this, my cd/dvd RW drive is no longer recognised by my computer. I can't use cds or dvds in any form in any application on my computer, not just in itunes. I have tried installing the ipod software from the cd, and from downloading it, but the same happens both ways. The only way to get the cd drive working again is to do a system restore to before installing the ipod, which of course means i can't use my ipod. Any ideas?

    okay, if it's giving you a code 41 like that, try the techniques from this post:
    b noir: Upgrade to V6 and I loose the ability to see Drives
    (since i made that post, the GEAR drivers page has changed a bit. so if you end up having to reinstall those, use the standard 32-bit driver rather than the legacy one, unless you've got Norton Ghost.)

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • Can't update my ipod software

    i have the 2nd generation ipod touch and the latest version of itunes (10.4.1)
    the software version on my ipod is 4.2.1 but i think the latest is 4.5.something right now.
    when i go to the summary tab and click check for update, it says that my ipod has the newest software (even though i only have 4.2) and so i don't know how else to download version 4.5.
    what do i do?

    I think 4.2.1 is the farthest you can go on a 2nd gen iPod touch.
    Your software is up to date if you click Check for Update and it tells you, "This version of iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version".
