Can't update iPod

I'm trying to update or restore factory settings for my iPod mini, but the program takes ages to load and when it finally does it say "Can't mount iPod." Any idea what to do? My iPod is really giving me grief at the moment.

  • 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.
    There are also these to check out.

  • 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.

  • Can't update ipod in itunes

    My ipod doesn't update in itunes. When i try updating it, the message "Songs on the ipod (said ipod) cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist". When i try to manually manage the songs on my ipod, i put the entire library (it fits) onto the ipod, but the ipod erases itself. I have the latest version of itunes and ipod updater.
    Dell dimension 4700C   Windows XP  

    Now I have the most recent version of itunes, and I still can't update my ipod, and when I try manually managing the songs in itunes, i i have to drag the whole library over to the ipod icon. It looks like its actually doing something for a second, but after a little while all the songs just disappear from the ipod (not in itunes)

  • Can't update iPod, please help!!!

    Normally when you click on "file" in iTunes, one option is "update iPod" but it is pale (can't select it). I can't update it so please reply if you can help!!
    Also, yesterday it wouldn't let me disconnect/eject the iPod, and also every now and again a message saying something about a "corrupt file" comes up.
    If you can help me with any of these things. PARTICULARLY the updating one then please reply ASAP!!
    thanks!

    Try this link put. It has some good basic information on how to update your ipod. Try to manually update your ipod, the instructions for it are in there. When you are talking about the smart list i think you are refering to the smart playlist. What you can do is set a playlist that has different options that will automatically update the playlist. Say for instance everything that you rate as five stars you can make a playlist that will take all of the songs that have five stars and put it on that playlist without you having to do anything.
    Now about the issue of the do not disconnect. I had the same issue with mine when I had first got my ipod. If you look in itunes at the very top in the little dropdown menus there will be one called preferences. Now with your ipod connected click on the ipod tab. There should be an option in there that will let you listen to music etc while it is charging on the computer. The default setting for when it is hooked up to a computer is to not play music or anything until it is unplugged.
    I hope that will take care of your questions, if not let me know and i'll see what i can find for you and if it did work if you don't mind let me know.

  • 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
