Careful updating ipod software to 1.2.1

I just updated My 5th Gen Ipod to 1.2.1 software,now when I use my video out to my dvr the dvr won't record. This is not copy protected stuff. I used the ipod to carry the stuff to the dvr to burn to a dvd. How can I get the previous version of the Ipod software before this evil update?

I haven't tried this yet so I'm just guessing, but have you checked to make sure the Video Settings are correct?
Videos/ Video Settings/ TV Out ON
TV Signal NTSC
Perhaps during the update it resets back to OFF and you only need to turn it back on?

Installed Itunes: New PC, Windows 7 x64, updated ipod software, click to eject ipod, PC goes to blue screen, dumps data, restarts; songs do not play correctly on ipod. IE: play a song - only first few seconds will play. Some songs play fully, some do not.

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

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.

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.

She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then. I can not exit out of itunes either.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

There was a problem douwnloading the iPod software the the iPod You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.

Has anyone seen this or knows of a fix??? I've gone thru several iTunes updates but still unable to fix this error code.
Tks for any help

Sorry, thought you had Windows Vista! Shows how much attention I pay to the details! haha
1) Update iTunes to the latest version? (8.0.1)
2) Restore the iPod in iTunes
3) Make sure you don't have ANY windows open (except iTunes) when you try to do the update again
I'm sure something should work for you.

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?!!!

and if anyone knows.... y does my itunes symbol look like a picture with a camera in the corner... i just downloaded itunes 7 to my friend's computer and it looks just like last itunes but instead of a green music note infront of a cd... its a blue music note infront of a cd... and when i plugged my ipod into his computer it said that my ipod is up to date.... y is that?

Error message when trying to update ipod software

I have OS 10.3.9 but am getting the following message...,
You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires OS 10.2.8 or higher. Please advise. Thanks.

If you're trying to install the updater onto your iPod directly, you can't. Instead, install the iPod updater onto your hard disk, and then open the /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater folder. There should be one or more copies of the iPod updater inside this folder; double-click the most recent copy. Once the iPod updater has opened with the iPod plugged in, click the Update button and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update. If you get a message telling you the updater couldn't find a firmware image, choose the Update iPod command from the Options menu to continue with the update.

Trying to update iPod software; Connection problems.

Okay, so I have the iPod Touch 4th Gen, and when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes said that there was a iPod software update available. I've tried several times to download the update, but every time I try the same thing happens: It only downloads a few hundred KB of it, then it stops there, and the remaining time displayed keeps going up until it shows up to 24 hours or more, and finally, an error message comes up saying it couldn't complete the request because of connection problems. (error = -3259)
On a similar note, when downloading songs from iTunes, I constantly have to pause and resume them in order for them to fully download. Otherwise it just stops where it is.
However, I can still connect to the store just fine, with only a very few timeouts here and there, but those are easily remedied by re-visiting the page I tried to view.
So, clearly I have some sort of issue with my connection to iTunes. Can someone please help me?

care to share what the other way to download it is??
My boss has an ipad, last week he downloaded the 2 entire seasons of 24, and a season of Rescue Me with no problems at all, now he's trying to download a movie and he keeps getting this error. If those shows downloaded just fine why won't the movie download? Our Windows firewalls are disabled by Group Policy so that's not the problem... and our security software hasn't changed since last week when he successfully downloaded those shows so that shouldn't be the issue either. We don't use proxys. He's wired to the internet so it's not a wireless timing out on him issue. He's on the latest version of itunes. He's logged out of itunes store, shut down itunes, and relogged in... same problem.

How do I update iPod software B4 using w/Yamaha YDS-10 Uni Dock 2 see photo

We purchased a Yamaha AV Receiver and after we purchased our iPod, the folks at Circuit City told us we needed to purchase the Yamaha YDS-10 Universal Dock for iPod. We can play music just fine, but can't get back to the main menu which begins with Music, Photos, etc. We can only get to the menu beginning with Playlists, Artists, etc. We called iPod help and they determine it was not an iPod issue and said to take the unit back and get a new docking station. I found the manual for the docking station and it states:
It is recommended that you update your iPod software before using it with this unit (YAMAHA YDS-10). The update for the iPod software is available at the Apple website.
I can't find the software update and would greatly appreciate any help/assistance anyone can provide. We just want to be able to view our photos and the occasional movie now and then. Thank you in advance for all your help.

thanks for the suggestion. This was just a simple tutorial on doing a regular restore through Apple. I've tried that already and it doesn't work. I'm sure that Apple downloaded the iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) through my iTues. When iTunes tries to install the firmware on my iPhone, however, that's when the errors start popping up. When I try restoring in DFU mode, my iPhone gets stuck in rebooting over and over again.
It seems like I'm getting some kind of error even before it starts putting any firmware on my iPhone. I've never got to the part where there is a progress bar underneath the apple logo. Any other suggestions?
