Cannot update songs into ipod, please help.

Hello,
Thank you for your time in advance.
I have updated my iTunes and that is fine. However, I cannot update my iPOD update. There is a message, "iPOD Setup.Exe is not a valid Win 32 application."
I suspect that's why I cannot update my songs. I have tried everything for the last 4 hours, including restoring my ipod and my itunes, to no avail.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you.

hmmmmm. it might be a good idea if you do a check through your PC for malware. that message is suspiciously similar to one folks can get as a result of a Pretty Park infection:
You Are Unable to Start a Program with an .exe File Extension
but if the PC seems clean, try downloading a fresh copy of the ipod updater installer. (that message can also sometimes show up if the installer file gets damaged during the download.)

I cannot update apps on ipod. Help please.

So before, i already posted a question about this and i just figured out that it is my internet conection that has the problem, not the ipod.
It seems that my internet connection or router settings has a problem connecting to my ipod or i don't know... Please help.
Usually, when there is an app update, a number pops up beside the app store icon, right?
And when you open the app store:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it displays all the apps that needs to be updated
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it displays, ALL APPS ARE UP TO DATE.
My problem is...
When i connect to the internet at school, it shows the updates or the all apps are up to date when i go to the app store updates tab.
recently, i leave the update counter (the one beside the app store icon) until i get home so i can be sure there are apps that needs to be updated.
When i'm home and connect to the internet. Open the app store >updates tab:
WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it keeps on loading.
WHEN THERE'S NONE - it keeps on loading.
And when there's an update counter and i connect to the app store at home, it disappears.
Please help.. i cannot update my apps on my ipod. There isn't any problem with my device. I just restored it and i started again from scratch. No pictures, music, just apps.
HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU.

Please help.. Thank you.

Cannot update songs in iPod

Hi,
My problem is this one:
I bought an external hard drive (200 GB)
I downloaded the iTunes in that external (H) drive - from Apple's site - than I transferred the songs I had in the C drive, in the H drive.
I didnt know that I should transfer the iTunes library too. Anyway, I deleted EVERYTHING in the C drive.
Than I realize that I dont have playlists in the H drive. Luckily I didnt plug the iPod, because I would lose the playlists I had in my iPod. It took me few hours to write down my 50 something playlists. + 5,000 songs.
I am aware that there are programs that can transfer the songs from iPod in computer, but I read their Websites and I was not convinced of their efficacity.
Than I plugged the iPod. As expected the playlists disappeared, and the iTunes told me that because there is no space enough I had a big folder with pictures - will store TEMPORARY (?) some of the songs in a special playlist called office something (I dont remember) I said OK, but few minutes later I realize that I have all the songs in the new playlist created, were present in my library, so I deleted that playlist. I didnt know that playlist is in fact my NEW library if Im not wrong.
Perhaps Apple should tell me WHAT HAPPENS IF I DELETE THAT PLAYLIST.
As well as when I moved the songs from the C drive Apple should also tell me that I HAVE TO MOVE THE LIBRARY TOO!!!!!. Or much better HE should move it AUTOMATICALLY, without asking!!!!!!!!
Anyway, to make the story short, when I tried to update the iPod, appeared the message:
Songs on the iPod offici cannot be updated because all of the playlists for updating no longer exist
BTW, when I tried to find songs I have in iTunes, using the search function [Start > Search > All files and folders > Look in all hard drives C, D, H] I simply couldn't find the songs.
What I have right now in the H drive is a folder called > Programs > I Tunes and in that iTunes folder I have:
1) iTunes Music Library 3 MB (an XML document) I looked a little bit and I saw: <key>Music Folder</key> <string>file://localhost/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/My%20Music/iT unes/iTunes%
C drive ???
2) iTunes Library 2.6 G, which a window says: iTunes Library.itl = Windows cannot open this file
3) iTunes 4 Music Library, which Windows says cannot open too
4) Previous iTunes Libraries, folder which contains:
- iTunes 4 Music Library and
- iTunes Library; both about 2 GB
5) iTunes Music a list of songs I couldnt found there a song I recently downloaded from Apple.
6) iTunes Music which contains:
- CD Configuration which contains:
- iTunes Resources
- iTunesHelper. Resources
- about iTunes
- iTunes (APLICATION 11.1 MB)
7) iPod which contains:
- bin
- iPod Updater (4 folders)
So, how can I update the iPod?
Also a little strange thing: Offici Properties tells me that I have 14.7 GB Used Space - I opened the iPod and there is NOTHING inside - and iTunes says 31.55 GB (?!) I have an iPod 40 GB.
So pls help!
Thanx in advance!
Daniel

Try using the key combination Shift-Delete when deleting from a song from a playlist, this will delete it from the library as well.

HT4623 I cannot update to iOS 8, please help!

I cannot update to iOS 8 because i get the not enough storage error, even though i have 4.6GB free, according to usage. What can i do? Except using itunes because i'm on holiday and i do not have acces to a computer.

I see, but how large is this update? Aren't 4GB enough? This is pretty weird
It seems to have ranged from about 4.6 to (in my case on a 5S) 5.6 gigs. As with any software download, the amount of space required to download and install the update directly on the phone is much larger than the amount the software actually takes up.

Ipod is not read by windows, and cannot update!!! please help...

I have a 30GB, 7500 song ipod Video, just bought last year. The issue all started a month or so ago. I use the "iPod dock connector to USB 2.0 cable" to connect the ipod to the computer. I have tried both USB ports that I have, and both do not work. The ipod is not read by the computer, therefore, the computer acts like there is no connection. Itunes as well, does not read the ipod. I cannot add new songs to the ipod, or even charge it. I have tried all the things the website has said (i.e. restart computer, reset ipod, reinstall itunes, download latest version of itunes). I just updated to itunes 7 today, and this problem has gone on for awhile, therefore it is not because of the itunes 7. Since I figure it is the dock connector I have put in a self service request.
Apparently this is a common problem...Anyone have any advice? I am desperate...Thanks in advance.

On iTunes go click Store (on the top left side) then click Authorize computer...

Cannot sync my new ipod please help

Replaced my Ipod Touch and cannot sync on computer. Anyone have instructions or can tell me how to do it I appreciate it.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why do i always get "cannot connect to itunes" message whenever i download after putting my password? plus i cannot update my apps? please help me thanks :)

why do i always get "cannot connect to itunes" whenever i update my apps or buy anything from the store while my ipod can download? it has thesame email user

I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

Try resetting the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC. To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

a lot of people have posted about this and i have seen one weird thing fix this. people said they where going into date and time under settings and changing the date to some time in the future and then going to the itunes store and it would give them an error that there date and time was wrong. then all you need to do is go back and set the date and time right and go back to the itunes store and try again.
Im not sure why this did the trick but a bunch of people said that this helped them out..... Weird i know

Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB).

Uploading to online data storage: Now cannot download songs into iTunes

Hello all.
I am not seeing this one on any FAQs, knowledge bases, or discussion boards yet:
I am doing my initial upload of files to SugarSync, a highly-recommended online data storage service. Since I started, I cannot download songs into iTunes, even from the iTunes Store.
On any new downloads from the iTunes Store, the song DOES appear in the Music library view but immediately after completing the download it shows the exclamation point warning that the file is not in its location. The new folders get created properly within the iTunes Music folder but the subfolder where the song should be is empty. Each time I had to write iTunes Support to get them to make the files available.
I can still add files manually, no problem. E.g., I can add *.mp3 or *.wav files or folders, I can convert them to AAC, etc. The glitch seems to occur only when automated loads into iTunes are operating.
As a test, I downloaded a song from Amazon. Here the problem was different but I could work around it manually. Normally the Amazon process loads songs automatically into iTunes, too. Here again, the download did create the proper folder in the iTunes Music folder, as it should, but this time the symptoms were reversed:
(a) the mp3 file WAS in its folder as it should be (w/the iTunes DL, the file was NOT there)
(b) the song did NOT appear in the iTunes Music view (w/the iTunes DL, the song DID appear)
(c) I was able to browse to the file and tell it manually to load into iTunes (w/iTunes I had to write Support and wait a day).
(I wonder what's the cause of the differences between the two cases.)
Strictly speaking, I can't PROVE the problem has anything to do with SugarSync (which otherwise seems good so far), but the DL problem started as soon as I started using it. Something in the SugarSync upload or file-monitoring process, or an odd thin gin iTunes, seems to be preventing automated, direct loads into iTunes. And since the data service runs in background, so it can monitor file changes, that might mean I can't buy music anymore! Obviously that would be a dealbreaker with SS. (I have contacted SS on this but they've not had fair chance to reply yet.)
1) Anyone else have this problem?
2) Is this permanent or just temporary while I am doing the initial upload?
3) Anyone know a solution?
(FYI, I am a highly-experienced user and otherwise quite handy with iTunes files, library moves, and backups. My library is entirely consolidated and all AAC.)
Thanks.
(Oh, and this occurred in both iTunes 8 and the new iTunes 9, so it seems unrelated to the upgrade this week.)

UPDATE 1. CHANGING BROWSER HELPED -- OR DID IT?
I called Apple iTunes Support, who said the problem is new to them. The technician's hypothesis was that something, perhaps browser-related, was interfering with the initial creation of a temporary file (which should go to the Recycle Bin) that instead causes the completed file to go to there.
He noted that iTunes, though not going through one's browser onscreen, does use settings within one's default browser. I use Mozilla Firefox, so we switched to IE as the default browser, restarted iTunes, and the song downloaded with no problem! Then I switched back to Mozilla, restarted iTunes, and it worked AGAIN with no problem!
(Dutifully I advised SugarSync, which is still investigating.)
UPDATE 2: ARTIST NAME CHANGE - SOME FILES GOT MIS-MOVED / MIS-CHANGED
Definitely something still wrong. This time some pre-existing song entries (not new downloads) lost their connection to their source file.
In iTunes, which manages folder names for artists and albums automatically, I corrected the spelling for an Artist, so immediately iTunes renamed the folder, and automatically SugarSync noted the change to be uploaded. While the changed folder name and all the songs within were still uploading to SS, in iTunes I saw exclamation points come up -- but only for some of them. Most files got moved or changed correctly, but several lost connection to their file (i.e., the file was removed for the original misnamed folder but never moved into the correctly-named folder). Weird.
Worse, in only some of those cases did I find the missing *.m4a file in the Recycle bin. (I had to retrieve old, original *.mp3 versions from another folder and re-import each into iTunes manually.) I've never seen iTunes have a problem managing an Artist rename until I started using the live SS process.
(I've reported this to SS and asked if there is a way to disable temporarily SS to see if that's the problem.)
[Note: I am willing to try downloads again but I am wary of trying to rename entire Artists (Folder) again. That was a lot of work.]

UPDATE 3: SERIES OF TESTS - 1 FAILURE USING iTUNES
Still problem occurs, but not always. Today, I rebooted PC. I tried CD, iTunes, & Amazon. I varied having the browser open when using iTunes.
Here are the results of a series of attempts to download songs. "FAIL" means the file did not load properly into iTunes or loaded but lost its connection (exclamation point warning).
# Source Mozilla #Songs Result
1 CD Closed 1 OK
2 iTunes Closed 1 OK
3 Amazon Open 2 OK
4 iTunes Open 1 FAIL
5 Amazon Open 1 OK
6 iTunes Closed 1 OK
7 Amazon Open 2 OK
8 iTunes Open 2 OK
(I reported this to SS. Hoping they'll test and find the problem.)
