HT1414 I can't restore my iPod after proper update!What should I do?

I can't restore my iPod after proper update!It suddenly froze while updating. Now it is in restore mode and every time I try to restore it, it failes!Also bear in mind that I have no backups of earlier versions of my iPod in my pc, since I formated it a few days ago.Thanks for your time!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

What is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os

what is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os? and can i remove it? and how do i pair up devices via bluetooth?

Hi
First, the "Others" what you see in iTunes when you're iDevice was plugged in, is where the iOS installed. It's the system core of your iDevice.
2nd - That ia hevn't used before, bluetooth pairing. The last time I tested it, I failed.
and now you're not the only one who needs help in bluetooth pairing, LOL...

AppleScript to 'eject' iPod after copying is done. Need a trick!

I'd like my AppleScript to eject my iPod Shuffle after it is done copying podcasts to it. Unfortunately, the 'duplicate' command is "asynchronous", meaning that it returns immediately, without waiting for the copies to complete. More unfortunately, instead of failing, the 'eject' command puts up a stupid dialog asking if it wants the copying to be interrupted, and halts copying until the user replies.
Does anyone know a to work around this?
Jerry Krinock
Here is the tail end of my podcast-updating script:
set nNewPodcasts to (count of newPodcasts)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"
if (nNewPodcasts > 0) then
set newPodcastNamesList to newPodcastNames as text
display dialog "There are " & nNewPodcasts & " new podcasts:" & return & return & newPodcastNames & return & return & "Should copy these to " & iPodName & "?" buttons ["No", "Copy"] default button 2
if button returned of result is "Copy" then
with timeout of 30 * 60 seconds
repeat with aTrack in newPodcasts
try
log "Copying " & name of aTrack
duplicate aTrack to iPodPlaylist
end try
end repeat
end timeout
end if
else
display dialog "There are no new podcasts to copy to " & iPodName
end if
-- Eject the iPod
(* Unfortunately, the "duplicate" above is another asynchronous command; i.e. it returns before the job is complete. Therefore, we try and work around this by trying to eject the iPod repeatly every 5 seconds until success. But, instead, it puts up a stupid dialog. *)
repeat while exists thePod
log "iPod " & iPodName & " exists"
try
eject thePod
on error
log "Could not eject iPod"
end try
delay 4
end repeat
say iPodName & " has been ejected"

Use Disk Utility to burn disc images. Select the image to burn, then click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. The subsequent dialog has several options you can choose including Eject after burning.

How do I get my apps back on my ipod after I update the ipod?

How do I get all of my apps back after I update my ipod touch, the warning box says they will all be removed from the ipod during the update process? Thank you , I am new to this

You should be transferring all apps purchased on the ipod to your computer regularly, especially before any update.
If you have failed to do this, then do so now. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You then sync them to the ipod from your computer.

ITunes does not see iPod after last updates

It seems that many people have this same problem, but I do not see any solutions. I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and did the iPod updaters. Since this, my computer at home and work no longer recognizes my iPod. I keep getting something asking me to restore my iPod, but i have a bunch of pictures on it that I do not have saved anywhere else. Doing a restore will erease everything on my iPod.
please help.

Well, that was annoying.
I just went through the same grief being reported by many other users here: I updated my iTunes on Windows XP, and it stopped recognizing my iPod. (Plugging in the iPod would actually kick off iTunes, but after coming up, iTunes refused to see the iPod.)
It's working again, and it did seem to be related to network drives. However, I wasn't very disciplined about trying a single step, seeing if it worked, then proceeding to the next step, so I can't guarantee which specific step(s) below that actually solved the problem.
But for what it's worth:
1. I recently (a day or two before updating iTunes) mounted a new network drive, assigned to drive "G:". My iPod has been "F:" since I first installed it.
2. When iTunes stopped seeing my iPod after updating, I tried resetting the iPod's drive assignment to "H:".
(Unfortunately, I also tried everything else, including restoring the iPod to factory settings...it's now updating something like 1500 tracks.)
3. Resetting the iPod's drive letter as suggested in another thread didn't seem to do anything by itself, however I ALSO UNMAPPED THE NEWER DRIVE ASSIGNMENT DESCRIBED IN STEP 1.
4. Now here's the other stuff I did before trying it again, which may or may not have contributed to the fix:
- I undocked (it's a laptop)
- I moved the USB cable from the docking station
to one of the laptop ports
- I rebooted
After doing this, I plugged in the iPod, and ALLELUIA BROTHERS AND SISTERS, it was RECOGNIZED ONCE MORE!
Give me an AMEN.
Hope this helps somebody else to get going.

Updating iPod After Software Update

Howdy,
Bit of a problem here. All of the software was updated last night and my iPod has been updated, yet it now says I need to plug it in to the standard electricity supply for it to update, but I don't have that plug. So, I can't use my iPod
Anything I can do to stop this or bypass it? I've only got the USB cable still
Cheers

When updating or restoring the iPod via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.

I make no claims as to whether this will work, but merely point it out.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

Cannot eject Ipod after updating to 5.0

I've never had trouble with ejecting until just updating to 5.0. I get the message, "the Ipod 'ipod' cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." Now the new music on my desktop won't go to the Ipod. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My problems on an iMac G5 running Tiger started 9/21 when I upgraded to iTunes 5.0.1. (Prior to that there were problems mounting the iPod if I waited too long after turning on the computer, iTunes 5.0).
On 9/21 iPod mounted but would not sync nor eject. Strangely, on 9/22 iPod synchronized and ejected; but on 9/26 it would not sync even though iTunes said it had. And then it would not eject, giving error messages to the effect that the iPod or its files were in use by antoher application.
9/27 I plugged the iPod into a Powerbook running Panther... no mounting problems... no ejection problems.
The iPod is third generation with version 2.3 software... connected by firewire.
I need help also... I am concluding that the problem lies in either the computer, Tiger or iTunes. But how to fix?

Lost photos on iPod after ios5 update

Hi Everyone,
I lost my photos in an ios update even when I backed them up. Is there any way to get them back?
Thanks

Hi, I lost photos on my iPod Touch 4th gen too when it came to IOS 5.1 update and I had very great memories in there and I need help with finding them also because when it updated it never asked me to back them up and it setup as a new iPod and all I lost was photos no contacts or anything.

Error When Ejecting iPod After Sync

After syncing my Music Library to my iPod device, I clicked on the little "eject" symbol in the iTunes program window so that I could unplug my device. However, an error message popped up.
Error Box Title: mfac.exe - No Disk
Error Box Text: There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D:.
After clicking either "Cancel," "Try Again," or "Continue" the same error box pops up a second time. After I make a second selection (and I tried all possible combinations of those three options), the window disappears and a new error appears.
2nd Error Box Title: iTunes
2nd Error Box Text: The iPod <my device name> cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
The only selection in this box is "Okay."
Needless to say, the iPod does not eject, and now I can't remove it from my computer. I tried closing and reopening iTunes, and then restarting my whole computer, but the problem persists. I have never used my iPod to transfer any files other than a synced music library, or enabled the "use as removable storage" option.
I am using a Windows 8.1 and iTunes version 12.1.2.27 64-bit. My device is an iPod Classic with software version 2.0.1.
Thank you.

Hello kmorrell11,
It seems you are unable to disconnect an iPod from your computer successfully. That does sound troublesome. Is the iPod recognized in iTunes while connected? If so, you may want to consider restoring the iPod to factory settings. I have included an article with the steps to perform a restore. Once the restore is complete, you can attempt to resync media back to the iPod:

Won't Eject iPod/Won't update iPod

Every time I try to eject my iPod, an error message pops up saying, "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". I've tried stopping all of my startup programs from starting, but I keep getting the same error.
Also everytime I try to update the iPod, and iTunes says it upgrades fine, but everytime I restart iTunes, it wants to upgrade to the same version it just updated to! (v1.3)
Please stop the annoyances!

Whoops - forgot to mention - iTunes will not quit, and there is no Force Quit option available... any more ideas?

Help with Ejecting disk after bad update

My MBP froze during an update and it won't start up.
All I have is a friends install disk with me and that will get me to Terminal.
I can't get the disk to eject since it is the startup disk.
PLease help!!

Do an Archive and Install on your internal hard drive so that you can boot to your internal drive (what is the purpose of getting the disk out if you can't boot!). After you install Leopard (remember to check preserve user settings!), you can eject the startup disk. Archive and Install only changes the system folder, so your applications, documents, music, movies, settings, desktop background, etc. will not change. Remember to run Software Update and install all of the updates. My advice is to not have any other applications open. Hopefully, everything installs correctly and your problem is gone.

Frozen ipod after the update and it won't turn off

After the 2.0.1 update itunes wouldn't recognize my ipod touch. I ran the diagnostics and no iphone or ipod touch was found. My computer knows it's there but itunes doesn't detect it. The ipod is frozen on the screen with cracked apple and the load circle right below. It's been like this for about 6 hours. I at least just want to turn off the ipod. I've tried all kinds of methods to remedy this but nothing works. I'm afraid the ipod might get damaged being like that for so long. I would appreciate it if someone can help. This is so frustating.

This happened to me last night. My screen was frozen with the "cracked" Apple logo. I thought it was toast. I decide to give it one more try. This time I held the top On/Off button until it rebooted. I had it for several seconds (I don't know how many seconds, but it seems like almost 30). I may have held the "Home" button at the same time.
When the IT rebooted, everything was fine.

Artists not showing in iPod after software update.

Need help...After updating the software in a 5G Video iPod, songs successfully transferred, but the artists for those songs do not show up? Example, I transferred U2's Vertigo over where Vertigo listed and played in Songs, but U2 did not show up under Artist in the iPod? Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

Problems with login on iPod after auto update of S...

My father-in-law "V" uses Skype on iPod. Recently Skype auto-updated and "V" could no longer login into his account. I tried to help, sending his email on file to Skype and getting instructions on how to reset password. I suspected that he just forgot right spelling of his PW. Email came from Skype with instructions on resetting PW, but I noticed that Skype name mentined there is almost right. Almost is because it had extra "1" in the end, which "V" did not have. I had to delete and re-install Skype on his iPod to make it work. I tried to use his correct Skype name in Login space and new password, but it did not work. Then I used his name with extra"1" at the end as in Skype's email and newly changed PW. And it worked, but surely enough, all his contacts were gone.
How can we restore his login to right name which he always used? This, I assume, would solve problem of vanished contacts. How come his Skype name suddenly changed without "V" himself doing that?

In reference to the linked article I already had the ipod options set to automatically update the podcasts for selected episodes. I just set it to manual and back to automatic, perhaps this will fix it. The mysterious podcasts playlist has appeared twice today for me so far.
