Can't update, restore, alter, change, add.....

I am having the same problem as numerous others in an earlier post. Out of the blue, my ipod stopped connecting to itunes. My Computer recognizes my ipod, but will not let me peruse of my files or open the removable disk. I tried resetting numerous times, did not work. I tried updating and then restoring, and it says "ipod service error" when I run the updater.
This is becoming a huge irritant. I can still play all of the songs that are on my ipod currently, and I can still charge it efficiently, but now I want new music, and I want to get it connecting to Itunes.
Anyone help?
(The changing the drive letter and error check didn't work.)

    Can I update imovie without changing my projects in imovie that haven't been published?

    Jimmyalford,
    I am having the same exact problem that you describe.  Can't figure it out.  I've got a really high speed signal, too.  No luck.
    GeeD, I do not have macKeeper installed. And I am running iMovie 10.0.2.
    I hope someone can shed some light on this.
    Thanks all....

  • TS2446 i can sign in apple ID but can not update app store and add new app

    i can not update my app store and add new app

    That didn't answer either of my questions.
    What are you trying to sign into using Safari?
    Did you change the email on your existing Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
    What "app button" are you talking about?

  • Can't Update Apps After Changing Email Address

    Recently, I changed my Apple ID from my Yahoo! Email to MobileMe. Now every time I try to update my Apps in iTunes or the Mac App Store, I can't update the ones that I bought when I used my Yahoo! Email address. I can still download the updates if I sign in with my Yahoo! account, but that gets annoying.

    To answer you Oh yes I waited.... in fact almost 3 hours and it should not take that long..... I actually ended up restoring it and starting all over again. Seemed to work! We will see....
    Thank you

  • Can't Update/Restore

    When trying to update my iPhone 6 Plus through iTunes, the download would take hours, half a day usually. At the end of every download, this would always fail stating "the file was corrupted during download". Since updating/restoring my iPhone 6 Plus would take so long and always inevitably fail, I decided to download the 8.12 IPSW for my 6 Plus. Why trying to shift-click update/restore, another error has come up. "This firmware file is not compatible". How can I fix this? Am I just not supposed to update at all now? Where is Apple's mind?

    My iPod works again. Yay.

  • My ipod says it's up to date, but it's not and I can't update/restore

    Itunes updated to 7.0.2 and I can load up my own CDs onto my ipod nano. I can buy new tunes on the internet and they load into my itunes library but the purchased tunes don't load onto my ipod - I keep getting a error message that my ipod software is out of date. I've tried uninstalling itunes but keep having the same problem. My ipod preferences page tells me I have software version 5.1 on the ipod. I can see the buttons for update/restore, but this whole section is grayed out and the buttons don't work. What can I do?

    When you come back, try this.
    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
    If the device manager is empty, see this: iPod not appearing in Windows device manager.
    It's a long shot but worth a try.

  • Version Shows 4.2.1:Can't Update, Restore, or trnsfr photos or prchsd music

    I have an ipod photo 20GB and after upgrading to itunes 7.0.1(7) the summary tab shows:
    - 4.2.1 shows as software version (instead of 1.2.1)
    - older ipod icon is pictured
    - the version states"ipod is up to date" and the 'update' button is grayed out
    ....the 'restore' button is grayed out as well so I can't even restore from my
    machine
    - I'm missing the 'photos' tab
    I can transfer all my non-itunes store purchased songs fine, but when I try to transfer the purchased ones, it says the software on my ipod is too old and that I need to go to use the 'update' button in the summary tab...which tells me I have the latest version! I'm caught in a loop and am beyond frustrated! I tried using my ipod on my husband's powerbook and it's fine on HIS computer! Correct version 1.2.1 comes up and itunes store music transfers...I restored the pod from his itunes, but even after doing that I still get the same result on mine. What is going on??? Help!

    with those symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the following possibilities:
    iPod Updater reports iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod must be connected using FireWire
    iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
    iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

  • Can't Update/Restore/Use my iPod!!

    My iPod worked, with all my music, it updated and everything. Then I put iPod Linux on it, and it worked just fine, but then I tried to update it, and it gave me the error message: An error occurred while trying to update/restore iPod. So I uninstalled iPod Linux, and tried again. Same error. So I tried to restore it. Same error. So I reformatted it in Disk Utility as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It still didn't let me update or restore it. I unplugged it and it gave me the folder/go to Apple/Support/iPod thing. I plugged it back in and iTunes opened and treated me like a person who just bought the iPod. It downloaded all my music onto the iPod. I unplugged it, and it still gave me the go to Apple iPod Support. So now my iPod has all my music on it, is formatted as Journaled Mac OS Extended, and doesn't work.
    Help!!

    My iPod works again. Yay.

  • Can't update/restore after intalling itunes 7.0  or see ipod in source list

    I have a complicated issue. I just installed itunes 7.0 and my ipod won't show up in the source list (which had been a problem before with 6.0). Thinking this had to do with my Toshiba laptop, I disabled my high-speed usb port. But one of the later steps (to fix the toshiba problem) is to open the ipod updater and then restore the ipod. I can't do either of these because for some reason my updater is the 6.0 version still and gives me an error saying it's no longer supported and i have to use itunes to update (which I can't). I don't know what to do! I need help!

    Hey there
    I had issues trying to update my ipod (60g) after upgrading to itunes 7. Finally figured it out!!! I had to disable my Norton internet security - firewall and everything worked fine!!! It took maybe 10-15 mins to update the ipod to version 1.2 - then another 30 minutes to upload all my podcasts. I have no idea why it uploaded each one. Almost like during the update to version 1.2 - my podcasts (only the podcasts) were deleted and then reloaded again. Weird!!!
    SO... hopefully you have a firewall that you can disable for about maybe 30 mins - just enough time to let the ipod update then you should be good. took me 4 friggin days to figure this one out!!!!
    Hope this helps!!

  • Iphone 6+ Stuck in Recovery/Apple Logo, Can't Update/Restore

    Hello! I got an iPhone 6+ a week ago, and have had it working perfectly until two days ago. I tried to update it through iTunes to iOs 8.12.
    After successfully downloading the OS (12 hour download), iTunes began to update it. During the update the screen went black, and the phone restarted in recovery mode. I tried to restore the phone, and iTunes told me the phone would be restored and updated. The restoration did not work. I tried to restore the phone/update the phone for a third, but it would take hours to download and try again. I can restart the phone, but it takes me to the Apple Logo and stops. I can get into DFU mode. After getting to the Apple Logo and turning the phone off, it won't come back on until I plug the phone in. Even after hours of charging, the phone still states the battery has "died". Does anyone have a fix for this? I tried several programs including Tiny Umbrella and the program from FonePaw. Any help is needed. Thanks.

    No. My network gets 10gb/s. The OS takes hours to download through iTunes. I also downloaded the 8.12 ISPW for iPhone 6 Plus so I could shift-click and manually update. Still no dice. The complete restore. It just keeps going back to trying to download the OS.

  • Error 1413 "An unknown error has occurred"....Can't update/restore my nano!

    When I try to update or restore my nano, i get the error message "An unknown error has occurred" followed by error number 1413. I've tried all 3 solutions to fix it, and none have worked. Anyone have any insight into this? Thanks.

    I haven't seen a 1413 for a while.
    Doublechecking something. Do you have an older version of SpyCatcher (or a copy of GhostSurf Platinum 2006, which contained the problematic version of SpyCatcher in this context) installed on that PC?

  • Can't update/restore on Imac

    I am unable to update my Iphone 3gs on my Imac.
    It gets stuck at about 60% while updating.
    There's no problem updating it on my Macbook.
    Both computers have the exact same configuration with the latest updates.
    Any ideas?

    A few people seem to be having trouble getting the update to complete, but no explanation yet as to why.
    Hopefully you got yours done on the MacBook
