Direct download ipod update

I am having trouble downloading the new ipod update. Everytime I get near the end I receve and error. I was wondering is there a direct download to the ipod update, so that I could not go through itunes until it is already on the computer. or be able to pick up when it said that it was a network timeout at the end? If anyone has any suggestions please help me. I have already tried googling the problem and looking at other discussions.
Thanks In Advance

First, tell us what error you receive. Second, check your console log at the time of the error to see what it tells you may have happened. Also, check the CrashReporter log.
Also, this might be a good idea:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

I get the"download iPod updater"message &downloading the updater won't help

Here's what happened:
I plugged my iPod into my iTunes to put music on it.
It says "Do Not Disconnect" like it alwasys does, but this time doesn't go away. It stays for 45 minutes. IN an act of desperation, I disconnect.
I lose everything.
"Not a big deal" I think, because I can just put the stuff on my iPod again.
I connect the two, I get the "download iPod updater" message. I download it. Same thing.
I uninstall and reinstall about 3 times.
Still same thing.
PLEASE HELP.

im having pretty much the EXACT same problem with mine. tried the "5 r's" yadda yadda, completely useless. this is my second ipod, i had a 4G that died a few months ago, which had the same problem, but about 6 months after i bought it. my 5G is brand new, got it for xmas like most people, next day i plug it in and BAM, its been blinking that **** little red circle for days and ive tried everything. im just gonna make use of my warrenty and send it in for repairs. ill post if i figure something out before then.

Error message while trying to download Ipod Updater

Help! I am about ready to lose it. When I plug my mini into my computer it says that Itunes does not recognize it and that I need to restore it to factory settings. That is fine but in order to do that I need to launch Ipod Updater. When I try to download the file I get an error message saying "Error during setup intialization". Any ideas?

Interesting.
Okay, let's try some general principles troubleshooting with this one, then.
(1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
(2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

What happens after downloading iPod Updater-after clicking restore?

I have a problem with my ipod that's a bit complicated and can anyone just help? See what happened was, my ipod was in a scan mode, so my cousin tells me. After the battery died, I recharged it, hoping it would stop but it didn't. The next day, all the songs in my ipod are gone and now, I downloaded the ipod updater and plugged in my ipod and clicked restore, and now I don't know if it's ok now. It still says Do Not Disconnect. Should I or shouldn't I? what the **** is up?

It could probably be in the Hard Drive mode. If its not, I would recommend resetting.
Turn on hold, then turn off. Then hold Menu, and the center button at the same time for about 6 seconds, should make the apple logo show and it should fix it.

Problem since I downloaded Ipod update

Since I downloaded the latest update of the Ipod software, It is not recognized by my computer anymore... The windows explorer & itunes can't find it.
I tried to reinstall it with the Ipod updater but it fails everytime:
either it says there is no ipod connected,
or it says it is used by another application(!!)
Does anybody know how I could repair that or return to the older ipod software version??
Thanks!

Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

Manual Download of iPod updates to bypass Apple's never-working servers?

Is it possible to manually download iPod updates? I can't connect to any Apple server EVER through iTunes. I can't use the iTunes store, I can't update my iPods, I can't do ANYTHING!
Help!
I have NO firewall, I have NO virus scanners, I have NO software to get in the way, NO hardware router between me and my modem... and I can see Apple's website just fine, but iTunes is screwed, can't connect to apple to save its life.
I spend this much on an iPod and I can't even use its software? This is lame, someone help!!
Thanks

IPod updater software download problem

Hi. I got the !/folder icon on my Nano. Plugged it into my computer and reset it (but still get !/folder). Got a message that software version 1.1 was available. Am unable to download software. When I click the "download iPod updater software" button on the ipod updater download webpage, the download dialogue starts but no progress is made in the download. I've tried many times (using both the "save to folder" option and the "run" option, but the download stops as soon as it begins [little icons of pieces of paper fly through the air and into a folder but no data!]. I waited overnight in case the download site was swamped and tried again, but the same thing happened. What could be the problem?
1. Reset your iPod. Check
2. Retry with a different USB port. Check
3. Restart your computer. Check
4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software. Problem!
5. Restore your iPod.
What to do? What next?
Compaq Presario R3000 Windows XP iTunes 6.0.1.3
Compaq Presario R3000 Windows XP

FYI: Problem resolved. I still don't know what the problem was, but I have finally managed to download the updater software.
Using the updater to install the new software solved the problem with the iPod, BTW.

IPod updater-not installing right

I recently just updated my iTunes, now when I try to upload music onto my iPod Mini, I get a message saying "iPod software is too old-the music cannot be copied, download the new iPod updater". I have tried downloading the iPod updater 3 times, and I get to the screen where it gives you an option to either restart your computer now or restart your computer later. I have restarted my computer twice and once I clicked "restart your computer later"... I don't see any differences, and when I try to upload music on my iPod (after downloading iPod updater) it still gives me the same message I had from the start- That the iPod software is too old. Is there any advice someone can give me??

pixiedust,
After you've downloaded the SetUp Launcher for the iPod Updater from the Apple web site you have to make sure that it's installed on your computer. A good first step is to double-click the SetUp Launcher icon and follow the directions. It sounds like you've done this but you may not have gone on to the next step.
Once it's installed you then have to run the Updater (Start Menu > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater 2005-11-17 > iPod Updater 2005-11-17) and connect your iPod when prompted to do so. Click on the Update button and your little friend should be all set.
If not, post back.

IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.
