Can't update iPod Photo 60 GHz

I have a 60GHz iPod Photo colour display. I used it regularly until about 2 years ago when I bought an iPod touch and didn't need it as much. I've been using it occasionally and also it's been a back-up of my WHOLE music library. Well, suddenly I can't get into it. I'm running Mac OS 10.6.5 on a MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Intel with iTunes 10.1.1. The iPod shows up on my desktop as a locked hard drive. I get a message that says I don't have permission to see the contents, and I can't change the permissions from "custom." Meanwhile it doesn't show up in iTunes at all. However, when I plug it in, it DOES cause iTunes to launch. As well, TuneTech for iPod seems to recognize it just fine and seems to work with it, although I'm afraid to try formatting the drive for fear of losing all the contents. I tried to find an older version of iTunes but with no success. Besides, according to everything I've read, the current iTunes should be able to communicate with the iPod Photo just fine. So what do I do? I want to get a real back-up of my library onto my Time Capsule, then I've promised my niece my old iPod, because I gave her a Boombox with an iPod dock for Christmas, and obviously she doesn't listen to the same music I do. I have an old Quicksilver 867 in storage, but I don't want to have to keep it in my little apartment just so she can add new music to it once in awhile. What do I do? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers.

Try to see if you can transfer your music using a program such as Pod2Mac. Then try to format your iPod using Disk Utility or try to connect it to another computer and restore its software.
Let me know, bye

Any news of updating ipod photo to ipod video

guys.. is there any news about updating ipod photo to ipod video in the future??? i'm so darn pis$ed after looking at the ipod video... i have an ipod photo 30 gig and i just feel that it's really unfair for other ipod with colour display users!!!!!!!!!!
anyone here would be kind enough to calm me down!!

Bryan,
posts like this are in my opinion quite inappropriate and immature. I can agree on the fact that at the time of purchase the iPod purchased was exactly to specifications, but if a day/week/month later you can get more (10 GB and video capability) for the same price would you not feel cheated in a certain way? Just imagine it happening with anything other than a technological advancement and imagine it happening to YOU.
Anyway, it would be a very nice gesture for us Apple iPod enthusiasts to be provided with a firmware upgrade if the technology of their iPods is capable of handling videos. I for example am a Windows deciple, but as with everything, having listened to the right reasons, was contemplating to convert to Apple. Let's see how they handle this issue going forward.

If you own a copy of iPhoto 'qq Log into the App store usimg the Apple I'd you used to set up the computer and go to updates to update. If you have an older version of iPhoto or purchased a used system then you must purchase iPhoto version 9.5

Can't access ipod photos on computer

I can't access my ipod photos on my computer. the usb connecter seems to be working fine, its can charge my ipod and i can still sync music and stuff with it but i've noticed that the "autoplay" option (to ask to open device, import photos etc) no longer pops up when i connect it (even though all control panel options on hardware and sound -> auto play has all devices on "ask me every time"). I've also found out when i do connect my ipod, i cant find it on the computer (device with removable storage etc). i have an ipod touch, iOS 6.0. i've tried restarting both computer and ipod with no luck...

There have only been 4 things that i've done before this happened:
1. i've taken 1000 more photos
2. i've synced my old songs to my ipod which made me have to transfer purchases and use a different apple ID
3. i attempted to update both my iOS software and itunes but it didn't work
4. i installed snapchat recently (only app i've installed within the last 3 months)
there are photos in my camera roll. i've tried using the photo management software on my computer (windows 7) but it says that my device is not there and now, whenever itunes reads my device, it stops responding. itunes and iOS software is not up to date. i tried updating (as previously said) but failed. I've tried using a different computer and a different usb connector but it can never sense my device anymore. I used to backup my photos every month and delete most of them. I'd rather not send 1000 photos to myself to save them, unless i really have to.
do you think i should delete snapchat?

ITunes unable to update iPod (photo)

When I attempt to 'update ipod' itunes beings it's thing but, then reports that "the disk could not be read from or written to".
I do not belive that this is an iPod issue, more a software one.
I also noticed that whilst attempting to copy to the ipod, the .Mac sync (menu bar) icon is rotating. When I click 'Ok' on the warning dialogue box, the sync stops! also when I click on the sync icon it reports that it was last synced earlier this evening.
I have never noticed this before, but then I was never looking! Does anyone know about or encountered this before? and could this be responsible for itunes not updating my ipod??
Any help appreciated.

Can't update IPOD mini

Hey, does anyone know how to solve this problem? Usually when u plug in the ipod mini, it will show "do not disconnect' icon on the ipod mini. But now it does not do that. It just charge my ipod mini. My main question is why can't the ITUNE read the ipod mini that i connected to the pc. I can't update a single song to the ipod mini at all. Please help me.
Thanks~!!

First, try resetting the iPod with it connected. Try several times if it doesn't work the first.

Can't Update iPod Touch 1G

Hello I am currently using an iPod Touch 1G, version: 2.2.1.
The problem I am having is that I can't update it. I've gone back to it after not using in a while and it won't allow me to use the free apps that I used to enjoy such as iMob until I update to version 3.0.
However my iTunes is telling me that this is the latest version and doesn't give me the option to update. I have tried restoring the iPod, as well as updating and reinstalling iTunes.
I'm not sure where the problem is, whether it is my iTunes, iPod or if the 1G can't be updated any further(which I really wouldn't be happy about).
This iPod has never been hacked or jailbroken or whatever other terms that describe it being used against Apples policies.
I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance.

p.s. Forgot to add that I use 64 bit version of iTunes (not sure if it matters).

OK sorry but found the answer on another topic.
Bit ridiculous that 1G users have to pay to update to an inferior version whereas everyone else gets the latest one free though.

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.
