Cannot restore iPod shuffle after update

I have an iPod shuffle original model. For the past few years it has played music as background to my space. Today it went silent.
I plugged into my Powerbook and iTunes offered to update it which is probably the basis of the following problem.
Try and try but that same file from the iTunes library will no longer go into the iPod. I tested with a second one and got the same.
What is the problem? This is my own recording imported via Quicktime and plays on my photo iPod which I'm using instead; but it will not even copy to the iPod shuffle. But it was there for years!
This is galling.

I had this error as well. I re-installed the updater to get it working again.

  • HT201272 How to restore IPOD apps after updating to OS 4.2?

    Hi,
    Everything on my 2nd gen Ipod touch was working fine,  Then while at Itunes, I was prompted to update to OS 4.2 and like a damned fool I did.  After that most of my apps did not ge loaded despite trying several times.  I then restored the OS to version 4.1.xx (something), and now I cannot restore any of the apps!  How can I get the OS to restore from my pre-4.2 os backup??
    thanks

  • Cannot restore music/apps after Update to phone

    Hi. Really hope someone can help here. Don't think I have a severe problem, at least hope not. Nutshell:
    -Started Update about 3 hours ago.
    -After update, got error message stating problem, needed to restore to back-up.
    -Thankfully I had backed up the device just prior to update, and just checked, I still have all of my data on HD
    -When trying to restore, I kept getting error message, asking me to repeat the process, and phone is completely bricked at this point
    -Saw message stating this is frequently caused by anti-virus/firewall, so disabled AV/Firewall, restore again, successfully
    -Phone no longer a brick, but ALL data is gone, like a brand new phone, not a good thing
    -I can see all of my apps/music in my itunes library, as well as my hard drive, but can not find a way to get the data back to my iphone.
    -Tried syncing (haven't tried restoring yet, wanted to do a little research first) no success, no drag and drop, etc... very stupid imo, how can you not be able to drag and drop?! anyway...
    So, need help getting my data back to my phone, music and apps.
    Again, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hi all. Just in case you end up searching this thread, the answer was so stupid and should have been obvious... man, Apple is really screwing things up that should be easy. Anyway, here is the dumb answer, and yep, maybe it is me who is dumb, but we all miss the obvious, (who hasn't last keys lately???) it should have been a super easy fix.
    Ok, I never had an issue with syncing prior to this, default settings worked fine, and I am not someone who uses iTunes for anything other than this required use for updates and back-ups. So, I had/have very little interaction and knowledge of iTunes.
    When looking at the GUI, clicking on your iphone or other device, you immediately see the summary page. I never noticed the tabs on the inner frame of the window, with the info/apps/music/etc subtabs. I always browsed my libraries by the main tabs on the left side.
    Then, after all of this crud yesterday, I did find them. After the update, for some reason, they were all unchecked, all music, apps, frikking so stupid!! When you go into the page, you have to re-check the box to sync, something I had never had to do before. Then, as with most preference set-ups, I cycled through the pages, checked the boxes, tried to sync after, and it still didn't work...
    Well, the genius coders here decided that the only way to make these changes 'sticky' was to click 'apply' on EACH SEPARATE TAB!!! You have to do each 1 by itself: music sync check then APPLY, apps sync check then APPLY, you get it..
    Again, thanks SO MUCH Apple for another update with Unacceptable major flaws, so simple I was always looking tons deeper. Steve Jobs, Get your team back on point, this is getting to be a major mess..
    Hope this helps others.

  • Restoring ipod mini after updating

    i downloaded the ipod updater last night and the computer did not give me the option to retore, only to update. so it went through the process, but i really want to restore it to the original settings and can't figure out how to do it after it's already been updated with the latest software.
    i tried to re-install the software, but the ipod didn't respond.
    also, i am connected by USB and running OS X 10.2.8. the information online says i should be connected to the dock? and be running a newer version of OS X? is this the problem? is there a way to get around it. i don't have a dock for the mini.
    thank you.

  • Cannot restore ipod shuffle original shows error 1418

    I know this is an old shuffle. I was trying to let my grandkids use it. It will not restore or transfer music to it. I have since used a different computer from when I originallused it. Do I need separate software for this shuffle or what.

    I had this error as well. I re-installed the updater to get it working again.

  • Cannot restore my messages after update, please he...

    Hello everybody,
    i've recently created a full backup of everything on my 5800 XM Phone, and attempted to restore it after software update, everything is restored , except the Messages.arc , i think because there was a 7MB 3gp file in my inbox, 
     Phone restores successfully (!) without errors, but nothing is restored in my inbox or folders, just delivery reports are back. to check if the file is corrupted or not, i used Noki 2.0 , its OK, but because im from IRAN, i cant purchase the full software and trial version just doesnt do it. 
    is there a way to workaround this, delete the 3gp file from archive or something else?
    please help me, i need my text messages, i cant afford to lose them.
    Sorry For My English.

    Oh !thanks for replies! im truely amazed

  • HT201263 Cannot restore ipad mini after update on configurator

    Please help!  I have tried restoring from itunes 3 times and each time it gets to the end, says it's processing the file and then jumps back to the ipad recovery mode....

    Further to my question.
    I am able to do a restore.  Takes 15 or more minutes and reboots but then I get the same response when I try to restore what should be a 14.5GB backup.  Everything appears to restore properly so I should expect that I would easily have enough room to do the "Restore from this backup:"
    Do I have to initialise something or do some steps first?  it seems to want me to setup my wifi and other details but I should be able to do the backup as that is what it is for.
    The exact wording of the error:
    "iTunes could not restore the ipad "Nichole's iPad" becasue not enough free space is available on the iPad."
    I only have the option of saying "OK"

    Hello Sunmera,
    Congratulations on your new iPod shuffle!  I would be concerned too if my iPod shuffle was not appearing in iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this issue:

  • I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

    I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

    I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
    When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

  • IPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!!

    iPod freezes after updating to software version 1.2!!! After installing version 1.2 the "do not disconnect" screen took forever to disappear, so i just removed the cables and it still remained
    like that, i restarted it manually, but now it's getting stuck when the apple logo appears...i reset it and when i finnally turns on, and i'm at the language tab, it freezes. can anyone help.!?

    Apple just released firmware 1.2.1 for the ipod, you should try restoring your iPod again with that.

  • Cannot install Touch ID after update 8.1.3 in iPhone 5s.

    Cannot install Touch ID after update 8.1.3 in iPhone 5s. In trying to install unlocking my phone is refused, as is allowing access to iTunes and App Store. Before updating I used Touch ID without any problem.

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. If after the computer Restore there are still problems, iPhone 5S has Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Cannot restore the phone after Tango(refresh with ...

    Hello!
    I cannot restore my phone after the Tango update. The Zune software says that there is a problem. I get the error code 801812E0. It is very frustrating! Has anybody the same issue?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the feedback. You can not use the restore function in Zune to get information back to your phone. The restore function will completely rewrite the restored content including the OS and firmware.
    You can sync music and other media files back using Zune. All contacts will be synced back as soon as you setup their accounts again in Settings>email+accounts and you can re-download apps using the app Reinstaller. For paid apps you can just select BUY again and you will be notified you have paid for the app and you can install it again after that.
    Hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions.

    please tell me what does it mean and how to correct this problem..

    hi
    i thought it to be SELINUX problem and google gave me exactly what i wanted .. solution to it..
    SELINUX-Targeted Policy disallows restore segment prot after reloc which can be corrected by switching to SELINUX-permissive policy..
    this can be achived temporarily by issuing
    setenforce permissiveregards

  • Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

    Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

    It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
    Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
    In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
    Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
    Find the song in your library and click the bell
    This bring up the editor.
    You edit the song to the portion you want.
    Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
    Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
    As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
    There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:
