Cannot Update iPod in iTunes 7.01

i can't seem to update my ipod in itunes 7.01. right before the 'updating xxx's ipod' thing shows up, it ejects it. yes, i've also tried putting it in disk mode but it still doesn't work. the current software for my 5G is 1.1.1, trying to go to 1.2.

perhaps check on the possibility from the following document (i've seen it produce similar symptoms a few times):

  • Cannot Update iPod From iTunes

    Hi-
    I just tried to sync my iPod from my iTunes library and I got the error message: "Attempting to copy to the disk "ALEX'S IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have previously been able to sync my iPod with no problem, and I just started getting this message. I have an iPod shuffle and that syncs no problem. The iPod is a 5g video with a 30 gb hard drive. This seems to have happened for no apparent reason. I tried looking at the article for this error message but that didn't help.

    Hey...I get this problem ALL the time...This is what I do:
    1. Yell, at the iPod
    2. See if iTunes can eject the iPod, else
    3. Unplug your iPod.
    4. Let it come back to 'life' (I'm clearly not using technical terms here)
    5. Plug it back in, and start to sync again, only this time I hit the 'X' button about 100-500 songs in...it varies. This partially syncs your iPod, chances are you will still get that error message, but all you have to do is just start to sync again and tell iTunes to stop syncing before you get to the song where the syncing failed.
    An example:
    Say you have 1000 songs on your iTunes, and you want to sync YOUR iPod.
    Plug it in to your computer...some songs transfer, lets say 250...then you get your error message...'Attempting to copy to the ipod "Alex2a's iPod" failed. The disk can not be read from or written to'
    Look at the song number where this happened..in this case it is 250.
    Well unplug your iPod, and let the syncing re-start. It should start at zero songs...Everything is the same as the first time you started syncing-Only this time tell iTunes to STOP syncing at say 170 songs...then let the iPod hard disk spin down (this may take up to 10 seconds...most likely less) then tell iTunes to sync your iPod again. The 170 songs are on your iPod now. Repeat this procedure until the iPod is completely updated.
    It is kinda a pain, but it does fix the problem, and generally speaking if you don't sync a lot of songs at one time, you'll rarely run into that error message.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

    I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

  • Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

    I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."  It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8.  What should I do?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

    Have you gotten any of your songs from limewire? I've seen some posts on another website about this error maybe having something to do with songs from limewire.

  • Add files to library, but cannot update ipod to put them on there

    I do not even have the option to do this since my ipod is constantly stuck on the "do not disconnect screen" when it is plugged in. Also, "file->update ipod" isnt even lit up so I cannot select it to update my ipod. I tried reinstalling the software, resetting, restarting, etc, but nothing. This is the second ipod nano apple sent me, since the first one froze. Could this be a problem? I think the serial number is the same though. Is there anything else I need to reinstall?
