Can't Update iPod 1.2 Software

I tried to update the iPod software to version 1.2, and this is the error message I got:
The iPod "John" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (1417).
Thanks,

some folks have been having some success with the
1417 using eboncairn's technique from this post:

    Nope.

    Only upgrade to 10.7 or later if you are prepared:

  • Can't update iPod touch 3. No iTunes app showing & no software update available in updates...HELP

    I can't get iPod touch updated. Can't get it connected to cloud. There are no iTunes app, software updates or cloud options in menus. I don't know what to do.

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • ITunes can't update IPod software

    Hi
    since I have downloaded iTunes 7 I get an error message when trying to update the iPod [5thh gen] software.
    I get the message "you don't have enough access privileges".
    and teh updater stops -
    The iPod works fine - but I don' understand why the updater does not work. I have repaired the permissions as well but no luck

    I too am suffering from this! I spent my money for the 2.2 update which Apple were VERY quick to take. But I cannot get the ipod touch to update; same error as you guys :
    "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod <mine>. You do not have permissions to access the requested resource. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I was also getting an "unknown error (-4)" earlier as well.
    I've read up on the laughable troublshooting support pages and the only mention of a solution was to go to one's local dir and remove previous ipod software update files, which I did - v1.1.4 and v1.1.5. And when I try to redo it, I can see the 2.2 update file temporarily appear but then it vanishes right when the error message pops up.

  • HT4623 The problem with my iPod touch is that it can't update the information in software update ! No matter how many times I try it keeps tell me that my iOS , that is.  6.3 , is up to date and there are no other updates available ! Do what do I do ?

    The thing is that my iPod just can't update to know that ios7 is available

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS 7 is compatible with the 5th generation iPod touch, and any older iPod isn't supported. As iOS 7 doesn't show up as an update, your device isn't supported

  • Can't update iPod Touch SW from 1.1.3 (with software upgrade) - 1602 error

    I get errors trying to sync since the 1.1.4 upgrade became available, plus I do connect and sync, I can't update to 1.1.4: "The iPod could not be updated. An Unknown error occurred (1602)." Has anyone else encountered this? Any solution ideas? Any way to contact Apple tech support on this?

    I think that this is the error you get when the sync fails due to lack of sufficent US power (or hyperthreading - see other discussions).
    I solved it in the short term by unplugging as many USB devices as I could, restarting everything including powering off the IPOD then recovering the IPOD. The longer term solution was to buy an external USB hub. I have an Intel motherboard. I'm not sure if other motherboards have simular issues.

  • Can't update ipod cause playlist being updated do not exist

    I installed my ipod software. Great! Easy to use. Then my computer crashed for other reasons. I got a new computer, installed again, and when I try to update my iPod, iTunes tells me they can't update my songs because the playlists I am updating (I did create a couple on the old computer) are gone.
    Now I can't update my iPod cause I got a new computer? HELP!

    As long as you still have a backup of the music (on the new computer prefably) try restoring your Nano with Ipod updater. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

  • Can't update ipod (windows-mac issue)

    My mom got a MacBook on sale so this is now what I use for everything; it is faster and more efficient than the PC that we own. On my iTunes, I can do everything exceptupdate my iPod nano. It simply says "Only Macintosh-formatted iPods can be updated." How do I change my Windows-formatted iPod to a Macintosh-formatted iPod?

    Are you sure that there is no way to change the
    format?
    I never said there wasn't a way to change the
    format.
    To change the format, select it in iTunes on the Mac
    and select Restore.
    I am having a similar issue with my daughters ipod nano. It was formatted for windows when we bought it (we have the songs on a mac) but it only downloads some of her library not all. Having looked in some of the forums it suggests restoring however when we plug the ipod into the mac the button for restoring the ipod to factory settings is not highlighted. In this case how can the ipod be restored to a mac setting? We are using the latest itunes software and OSX operating system.

  • Updated ipod touch to software version 51.1 and now won't install certain apps

    updated ipod touch 4th gen with software version 5.1.1 and now won't install purchased apps family guy time warp and uncensored. Help please as now i can't use my purchased games.

    What happens if you just restore to factory defaults/new iPod (not from backup)?
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4972 Can I update iPod touch from ios 4.2.1 to latest SW version?

    iTunes show "this version of the iPod software (4.2.1)is the  current version". Is that mean Ipod touch can't update iOS to higher version?

    On that iPod touch model, yes.

  • HT1378 Can't update ipod. Shows checkmark and says ok to disconnect. Tells me to restore.

    How can I update my ipod classic when it shows ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored?

    Also, when I go to the Apple website and click on download update software a blocked pop-up symbol appears even if my Norton internet security is turned off. It says the download will start automatically, but nothing happens. Any answers for me?
    Use your web browser to view the source of the page which tells you that the download will start automatically, and search the text for 'iframe' without the quote marks. To the right of iframe will be an URL; copy and paste this into the browser's address bar to download the file.
