  • 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.

  • Cannot update iPod software even after setting automatic detection

    Hi, I've been trying to update the software on my 5th gen iPod but to no avail. I've recently bought the pod and just installed iTunes. It informed me that an update was available for the iPod but I can't get it! Everytime I click on Update in the Version section on iTunes, it says "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet....Make sure you internet connection is active and try again". The connection is active and i've even tried the method in the hot topics support section telling you to go to 'LAN settings' under the 'Connections' tab in Internet Options and under Automatic Configuration, set it to 'Automatically Detect settings' but this has still not worked. Can someone please help me as this is doing my head in?!!!

  • Cannot update ipod software from 1.1 to 1.2 - support pages NO HELP AT ALL

    HELP ME PLEASE! Every time I try to reset, restore or update my ipod to install the 1.2 software for iPod I get error message: "ipod" cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application.
    So how do I get rid of these files, how do I override this? it will not let me perform an update, a restore or a reset. I backed up everything so I could clear it but the directions state press hold button on then turn off- how the **** do you turn it off if its on hold? ARRRGH!
    Anyway- nothing i do works

    I don't know why update fails but I give you my expiriences with the new iPod firmware version 1.2. This new version has an annoying bug, it plays titles not until the end, instead it interruptes playing and continue with the next title.
    At the moment I downgrade to the older version 1.1.2 and hope to remove this strange behaviour.

  • My iphoto library won't resume update. When I go to app storYou cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software.

    I tried to update my photo library a week ago, but I stopped it. Now that I wanted to resume updating, it says in the app store "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." WHAT DO I DO??

    I already fixed mine, i used my other apple id to resume its update

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
    Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
    of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
    When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
    function in the software, I don't get it.
    When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
    working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
    to work with, without being connected to them.
    I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
    without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
    the license fpr LR5 via internet.
    Best regards
    Karl

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

  • Updating iTunes without updating iPod software

    If I update my iTunes to 7.6, when I plug in my iPod will it require that I update iPod software too?
    If I update my iPod I will lose the majority of my music because it will require me to factory reset (it was initialized on a PC and is still on those settings) so I don't want to be forced into that option. I'd like 7.6 though so I can rent movies.
    any help would be great!

    No, you'll have the option to update iPod software--or not. I updated to iTunes 7.6, but I still haven't updated iPod from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3.

    I downloaded a movie to my ipod using nero 7.0 without difficulty,accidently deleted it and now when I try to redo I get "cannot update ipod,unknown error occured (-50), disk could not be read or written to. It won't even let me reload the ipod. still shows error. P.S. I've tried the 5 R's

    This is the only thing I can find on apples actual website about an error (-50)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93447
    But im not sure if that applies to your problem, you can check it out though.
    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.
