Deleted Ipod Updater and disconnecting Ipod

When I first got my Ipod it came with ipod updater software. When I installed this software it said there was another more up to date updater so I downloaded and installed the more recent updated. I was going through my programs on my computer and noticed that I had 2 Ipod updaters installed at around 90mb each. I thought well I only need the most recent one and I deleted the old one.
Well now the more recent updater wont work it will not even boot and my Ipod would not disconnect when I pressed the safely remove hardware button it said the ipod would not stop try again later, after trying this several times I finally just pulled the USB plug out without stopping the recharging first.
Now I am downloading a more recent updater. If I delete all of the updaters and install only the most recent one will the software work again.
Another problem after I deleted the old updater when I plugged my ipod in it asked me to give my ipod a name so I did but I dont remember if it is the same name that I originally gave to my ipod and I have no idea of which name is on the ipod or the software now. What should be done regarding this to get my ipod working right.
So far my songs appear to be safe, but they are only on the ipod not on the hardrive because my harddrive is too small to store them all. I have itunes set to manually add and delete songs.

HelloHello,
Hmm..I don't understand why you'd have 2 iPod Updaters. When someone already has an Updater and there's a new version to download, the new one REPLACES the old one - makes no sense to have 2 and confuse the user.
There's another way to eject your iPod from your computer while it's connected and it shows in the "Source" list. You can either right click on your iPod and select "Eject", or you can click on the up arrow next to your iPod and that will eject it too.
It sounds like your computer was having a problem with 2 Updaters, I think you did the right thing by deleting both of them and only downloading the latest version.
I think you can name your iPod whatever you like, I'm not sure if adding a different name will affect your iPod (when it comes to listing your songs if the iPod has a different name). How can you not remember what you named your iPod? Did it have a name at all??
Take Jeff's advice, back up your songs somewhere else besides having them in iTunes and in your mini. Looks like your hard drive is not too reliable, save all your music in a cd.

I just got an Ipod Classic and when i try to sync it it syncs half then deletes it all and disconnects

Whenever i plug my Ipod Classic (new) into my computer it says Sync in progress, then switches to "OK to disconnect" after loading about 40 songs on, and then deleting them off the Ipod. What's going on? All the computer says is "cannot load songs, unknown error occured."

To help in troubleshooting,
What is your iTunes version?
What is your iPod firmware number, as shown on the Itunes summary page?
You problem is iTunes timeout the sync process because there is no response from the iPod. Possible causes
iPod Hardisk malfunctioning.
Antivirus scanning
Other USB devices, using up the USB resource
iPod connected to USB 1.1 port instead of High Power USB2.0 Port
IPod connected to USB Hub.
Windows plugins or Malware using up CPU resource.
Whenever you sync or Restore the IPod, connect the iPod to the Back panel USB 2.0 port, disconnect all other USB devices except the mouse, and disconnect from Internet, stop your antivirus.
But if the above doesn't work, bring it back to Apple , since it is under warranty.
You can also do a Disk Diagnostic as posted regularly by tt2, to check your Hardisk, it wont fix the problem but help you decide what to do.

How can I delete latest update and go back to old one

I have had nothing but trouble with the new update to 3.1.3 and want it OFF my phone. I want to delete it and just go back to business as usual. Does any one know how to do it? I was told that if I just do a restore, it will reinstall the latest version of OS any way. I hate the new mess I have with latest update.
HELP!!!

sorry, but it just looked like this last update was not ready to release and has caused so much trouble that Apple would have a fix or allow us to revert to previous level.
You are probably not well enough informed to decide whether an upgrade is 'ready to release'. Remember there are millions of iPhones upgraded and only a very small minority with issues - many of which pre-existed 3.1.3
I haven't had phone for very long now, but it is very frustrating to have a defective OS and phone. I would have thought this would be the place to do things LEGALLY, not hack the phone like I see on GOOGLE
Hacking the phone is the only way to revert unless you have backups. Hacking the phone is not something that is discussed in these forums.
You haven't even posted your problems so perhaps start there ?

When a Firefox update disables a critical plugin (in my case Elastic Fox) then I have to delete the update and reinstall the prior version. Is there a way to know if an update will disable a plugin BEFORE I install the Firefox update?

This happens between major and even minor Firefox changes.

Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed.
Thank you for the feedback. This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications. I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

You can't delete the update and your problem probably is not in the Update.
Check to see if Location Services is turned ON. (Settings > Privacy > Location Services)
What model iPad Mini do you have? WiFi or WiFi + Cellular
Have you recently changed WiFi routers?

My ipod says disconnect all; the time now i have updated and restored it

I just opened itunes & connected my ipod. I restored my ipod because i deleted the songs from my ipod and updated it but they didnt come of so i used iupod updater and now it just say "do not disconnect" but it is not showing "do not disconnect" in itunes, but it is on my ipod.This is my second ipod and the same happened last time. can someone please help?. Thanks

If you automatically update your ipod, here's what to do, connect your ipod and WAIT untill itunes knows it's there, then go to edit, preferences, then go to ipod, then if you auto update it, make sure that the box that says "enable disk use" is unchecked. Then click ok. If you manually update, slect auto-update without the "enable disk use" selected.

Ipod updating and deleting all my songs

hi
i have a ipod 30gb video now i have had it for a while now 2 months or so it recently asked me if i wanted to update my ipod i said no since i heard it would delete all my songs so one day i plug in my ipod and it just updates it and deletes all my songs without asking me or anything has anyone else had this happen? I think a couple of thigns are wrong with this. First of all surely there is a way to update it without deleting all your music
itunes should ask you about the update and inform you that the update will delete all your songs
i know i probably should have kept a backup of my music but i didnt expect it to just delete all my music without asking i dont have much disk space i so deleted my music when i put it on my ipod so has anyone else had something like this happen?

Your post is a little confusing, assuming that you use the word "update" as in update the software and not update the songs.
Updating the iPod software does not delete the contents. The iPod software cannot be updated without you first running the iPod updater and clicking on "update". I does not do it itself.
How do you transfer songs from iTunes to the iPod? Automatically or manually?

Ipod updated and deleted me stuff

I updated my b/fs 1st gen touch on my computer. it made a backup then downloaded the update and installed. now i see nothing on his ipod. no music or our photos. what happened? how can i get everything back?

You can redownlod iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
It appears you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I can't update and restore my ipod. Also it has 7.5gb wasted

Hi,
While I was charging my ipod video (30gb), the cable got disconnected accidentally, after this, the ipod has not anymore songs, contacts, video... anything on it, everything has been deleted, but when I used itunes, in the section of the ipod appeared 7.5 gb used. Then I tried to update and restore with the last update software, but any of those worked and it always showed the same message error (error -60008), I charged the ipod again with all songs, videos, etc and it works perfectly, but there is still a problem in the memory of the ipod. There are 15gb which appear used but there are 7.5gb of those which supposted to be free but apparently contain the same files.
The ipod has 12.6 gb free
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I had a similar problem last week, my ipod was showing space used but I couldn't access anything on my ipod. I put out a query here but wasn't lucky enough to get an answer. In the end I reformatted the ipod and rebuilt alll my play lists (a major job) - lesson learnt here was to back up the ipod when its running smoothly. I now use podutil from http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php
so if it crashes again (or my 3 year old pulls out the usb at a critical moment) all is not lost and it's just a matter of a quick restore.

When I plug in my iPod and it syncs it says that a bunch of my apps cannot be loaded because my iPod does not have the latest software to support them, but I have done all of the iPod software updates and the same apps were working fine just weeks ago...?

I plug in my iPod to charge from my computer and it syncs with my iTunes, but I've been getting a message that a list of 13 of my apps cannot be loaded onto my iPod because it doesn't have the latest software to support them. I have done all the software updates for my iPod and iTunes says it is completed up-to-date. Do I need to delete the apps and redownload them or what?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

ok well like lllaass said, most apps require 4.3 or later iOS software. chances are since the apps worked before, the apps themselves got updated and will no longer work with your software version.

Hey khdewey,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
2. Install software updates on your Mac.
Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
5. Restart your Mac.
Additional Information
In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
Thanks,
Matt M.
