Downfalls of iPod Software Version 1.2???

What are the downfalls of iPod Software Version 1.2?

This is in regards to the iPod software 1.2 on the older 5th generation iPod Video.
1. Clicker problem not solved -- unlike the iPod Nano, the Clicker settings are On, Off, Clicker, Earphones. On the iPod Video, it's only On or Off.
2. No search function
3. The "floating" alphabets when scrolling quickly down the Artist or Song list is only worthwhile for languages in Alphabets. This display method does not work for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and a multitude of other non-Latin alphabet languages.
4. iCal problem not fixed. iCal has a location field. This location field does not transfer to the iPod. This is a problem for those of us who put the meeting place in the "location field".
That's it from me so far.

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Problem updating iPod software (version 1.2)

    I'm trying to update my video iPod (30GB) with the latest software (version 1.2) through iTunes, but I get the following message:
    "The iPod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."
    I've tried restarting the computer and resetting the IPod, but still get this message.

  • IPod touch wheel and iPod software version 1.5

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPod touch wheel (20 GB).
    I have purchased some music on the iTMS this days, but i was unable to transfer it to my Ipod, which software version was 1.4.
    So, I decide to restore the iPod with the latest version for this model, i.e. 1.5, and to upload all the songs, using the automatically update option.
    I did it, but after uploading the music, all the playlists are empty (menu "playlists", "artists", etc...). I can't see any songs although the indication of size is correct.
    But, everything seems normal when I access the iPod by iTunes (version 5) : I can see and play all the playlists on the iPod, when I have deactivate the automatically update.
    So, I restore again the iPod, and transfer manually some playlists. I was able to browse them on the iPod, and listen to them.
    I'm using iTunes 5, on Mac OS X 10.4.2.
    Has anyone had the same problem ?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod Software Version 1.1.2 has rendered Ipod useless

    I've had troubles with new Ipod software every time I install it, I don't know why I installed another new crappy update that gives me nothing but pain and agony but here I am.
    I have a 5th generation 160GB Ipod that has worked just fine and dandy up until today when I updated it to version 1.1.2. Now it tells me i need to restore my Ipod and when I do this, it goes through the restore process then tells me I need to restore my Ipod AGAIN! I've been through this neverending cycle at least 20 times. I've tried the new version, the old version. I've tried the 5 R's, I've restarted my computer twice. And still it continues in this same incessant loop.
    Help?

    I am having the same exact problem! it comes up with a cannot read contents of ipod. restore... blah blah blah, we all get it. it will freeze up my itunes and other programs if i try to open them when it is plugged in.
    I do not suggest sending it in for service. i did and they just sent it back to me telling me that nothing was wrong with it and they charged me like 60 bucks. that made me so mad.
    Stupid itunes 7.6 is just crap.
    I hope they fix it soon.

  • Updating to ipod software version 1.2.1.

    I have just bought a new ipod (5th generation) and am prompted to update to version 1.2.1., when synchronizing with my computer. However, despite having no internet connectivity problems for anything else I get the following pop up message.
    'Itunes could not contact the ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet.
    Make sure your internet connection is active and try again'.
    Can anyone suggest how I could solve this?
    Many thanks,

  • Which iPod software version ?

    Hi,
    I just bought the Nike+ iPod, was very excited to use it this WE, but didn't manage to make it work !! It seems that the receiver does not detect the sensor. My iPod nano 3rd gen is running on the iPod sotfware version 1.1, and iTunes says that this is the latest version. But on the user guide of the Nike+ iPod it is said that the iPod should run with the latest iPod software, which is 1.2
    Who should I trust ?
    Which version of the software is running on your iPod ?
    Thanks for your help, Alexis

    Hi,
    Me again ! I went back to the store and found the solution : when you look in details to the config requirements, there are not all the same. If you want to use the Nike+ sensor with a 3rd generation iPod nano, it should be stated on the package : "requires iPod nano with software v1.3 or iPod nano (aluminium) with version 1.1 or later". It seems that the first I get from the store was from an older stock. With a recent one, it works perfectly.
    By the way, I now know the distance from my favorite sport shop to my office !
    Cheers, Alexis

  • Should iTunes version and iPod software version be the same?

    My iTunes is version 7.6, but my iPod software is version 1.1
    Should they be the same?

    No, they are not the same. If you have a 1st Generation Shuffle you should have firmware 1.1.5. If you have a 2nd Generation Shuffle it would be 1.0.3.

  • Deleting and syncing videos / iPod software version

    Two questions:
    1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
    2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?

    1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
    No, if you delete from the library and sync then they will be deleted. You could either switch to manual managment of your iPod or you can remove the physical files from your computer while retaining the entries for them in the iTunes library. When you try to sync again iTunes will report that it cannot sync certain files as they cannot be found, but it should leave the previously synced files on your iPod. You can disable the warning if you choose. You will still be able to add new videos onto the iPod by adding them into iTunes, then syncing. You can also remove items you no longer want on the iPod by deleting their library entries. I would stress, however, that this method should be avoided if it results in the iPod containing the only copy of a particular file because the iPod could easily be lost, stolen or need restoring at some point. When (and not if!) you restore your iPod, you will lose all the files on it. For this reason a better appraoch would be to get an external drive to hold data you don't want on your main computer & sync from that.
    2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?
    Only really matters if there's a new feature or bug fix which affects you. Since Apple don't publish a list of bug fixes it can be hard to tell. Me, I'm all for the latest version but others are more cautious. Horror tales of "the update bricked my iPod" are common enough on here, but you don't generally hear the voices of happier users so I wouldn't worry too much.

  • IPod Software Version 1.2 - UPDATE?

    When will there be an UPDATE to the 1.2 iPod Version Software that fixes many of the problems being reported?
    I am still wary of downloading the new update (1.2)...

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post. I have this problem as well. My video ipod will not update after switching to 1.2. iTunes just stops responding. I uninstalled iTunes 7.01, resinstalled the iTunes disc that came with my ipod, restored the ipod back to version 1.0, and re-installed the latest itunes.
    However, itunes still freezes when updating. It will load maybe five songs then freeze. Any suggestions?

  • How do i update to ipod software version 1.2.2

    i am using windows xpsp2 with itunes 7.5 and an 80 gb 5.5 generation ipod.
    When I synced my ipod today, i got a message saying that a new version is availible (version 1.2.2). I clicked ok, it synced but did not update to the new version. Now when I click on check for update, it tell me that 1.2.1 is the current version.

    ITunes (Version 7.5, WinXP) is also telling me that my 5.5g Ipod is running the latest version (1.2.1). Any help anyone?

  • Ipod software version

    i finally got itunes to recognize that i am connected to the internet, but it says i am using version 1.1 and that its the most current.
    i just got a nike sport plus, and it says that it needs version 1.2 or later to work?
    any way to manually download the latest version and install it?

    If you are using the third generation iPod nano, you have the correct firmware; that note applies to older iPod nanos.

  • IPod software version for nano 1g

    Recently acquired a 1gen nano with version 1.3.1 software. Is this worth upgrading? It is Windows-formatted and I don't want to re-format it just to upgrade it on my mini, only to find it's obsolete or that 1.3.1 is as good as it gets!

    You, dear reader, probably have a nano. Is it up-to-date? (It'll have to be formatted for Mac to be updated, I read.) If so, what version is your software?? You can see this (as if you don't know!) on it at Settings > About > Version.
    I'd love to get this settled!
