well if she does just plug your ipod in and look for an option that says transfer purchases. it will hool your ipod to her computer and then you could get the update. on your new computer youll have to transfer your purchases on your new computer. hope this helps! good luck!

10.4.11 is as far as you can go with Tiger. You have to pay for the next update. It is not available via Software Update. Depending on which Mac you have, it can be Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion.

I am confused. Is there currently a way to transfer 160 gig ipod Classic music to another computer of mine after my hard drive crashed? it has old limited library already on it?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Trying to get Ipod to Update songs from ITunes

I have downloaded a whole stack of CDs into iTunes but I can't get my Ipod to Update with the new stuff.
Ever since I got my iPod (40GB) I have had problems with this. Sometimes I just have to go round and round in circles til the computer takes pity on me and it works (or at least, that's how it feels!!) but this week, it's having none of it and it's driving me nuts.
The manual says that if the option is set up, the IPod will automatically update when it is connected to the PC - but it doesn't (and the option is definitely set up right). My PC recognises that I have plugged it in and when I take it out, by making a noise, but the songs are not updating.
Can anyone help at all? The Ipod is fully charged, I have updated all software, tried re-setting, it is switched on etc. I don't want to start again as I have over 4000 songs in on my iPod and I don't want to have to download them all again.
Hoping someone out there can help. If not, watch your heads cos there's an Ipod about to be launched through a window!!! lol.

Thanks, but it didn't help.
However - I did finally get it to work!!!
I just kept resetting the Ipod, plugging it into my PC and updating the software until it finally did the update properly and then it finally updated my IPod!!
It has always been a problem, but this was longer than usual before it did it.
All I can suggest to others out there with the same problem is to make sure that your Ipod is completely charged before you start trying to update your Ipod. Re-boot your PC and then try again when everything is "fresh" etc.
Keep resetting the Ipod whilst it is plugged into the PC - press and hold the menu and select button for 6-10 seconds until the apple logo appears. When I did this, my PC kept making the noise like when you unplug it or plug it in and the PC recognises it - even though I hadn't unplugged it.
Eventually I got a message saying the software needed updating and to click on the "update" option (as far as I was aware, I had done this 4 times already, but I did it again anyway!). Part way through I got an icon on my Ipod saying to plug it into the mains to charge it (showing a plug going into plug socket). I did that, plugged it back into pc when it was fully charged again and Itunes finally recognised it and updated the Ipod.
A lot of messing and freaking annoying, but I got there in the end. Good luck to everyone else!!!

Unable to install voiceover, get ipod shuffle update

I'm unable to install Voiceover for my ipod shuffle 4g. When I check the "Enable VoiceOver" box and hit the apply button, I get an error message saying that "You have chosen not to contact the ipod software update server."
Interestingly, I'm also unable to use the update or restore buttons on the same page with my Shuffle. When I use either of those buttons, a dialogue box opens as though I were opening a file.

Sounds like you have some kind of firewall software or something preventing you from connecting to the update servers. Are you running any virus software or other software that blocks internet traffic on your computer? Little snitch does that, but you would know if it is on your system.

Can't get ipod to update to 1.2

I'm having trouble updating my ipod software from 1.1.1 to 1.2. When i try to download and install it an error message pops up saying that the ipod software update server could not contact itunes and that i should check my internet connection.
I have the internet as you can tell cuz i'm writing this post. I also have wireless but it still won't let me download it.

perhaps try the technique described in Kirk's thread here:

Started using my girlfiends computer as mine has broken. My iphone wont sync is it because she has an account as well? What can i do?

As i am using my girlfriends computer, how can i sync my phone to the computer. Girlfriends music has been removed and i tunes re installed but it still recognises her previous email account. Is this affecting the sync?

sorry, but Apple doesn't really read or have much to do with stuff that's posted here. Your best bet may be to speak to the Manager of the store or call/email Apple. Retain all documents, make your case thoroughly but politely, and cross your fingers. an EECB* may work as well, but be polite-maybe asking to speak to a supervisor?

IPod Nano Update to 1.3 causes corruption

My nano was originally formatted with my old mac laptop. Now I have a PC laptop at home. A PC has never had a problem reading the ipod. Tonight, iTunes said there was an update, 1.3, for the ipod. So I updated. Once it was done running the update, iTunes said the ipod was corrupt and should be restored. What the ****? The ipod won't even show up under My Computer when in disk mode because it is formatted for a Mac. The only places I can even tell it is connected are in iTunes and the little green arrow at the right of the Windows taskbar to disconnect removable drives.
Needless to say, livid is not adequate enough to express my irritation. The reason I got the PC laptop is because my Mac went kaput. At that point, my ipod became the storage to my only copies of those photos. Now what?

I'm having a similar issue tonight and it is B.S. I have a Nano that I use with my mac at work and my Windows XP at home and it kept bugging me to update so I finally did and instantly after the update it reads as corrupt. ***. I knew I shouldn't have updated.

Can't get iPod music on to my new Mac mini

My PC recently died on me with all my music, so I decided to buy a Mac mini. Can't seem to figure out how to get my music from my iPod onto my new computer, though. Any ideas?

I use yamipod to do this. There are other programs that do it but I like this one.

How to i get my ipod to sync to original computer,someone plugged it in to a different computer and now it wont sync anything to the original

Having trouble getting ipod to sync with original computer,it was plugged in to laptop and sync to it but all my music and things are on desktop,and now it wants to sync with only laptop. How do i get to sync back with desktop?

If everything (music and apps) are on the desktop, just connect the iPod to the desktop and :
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod if you want to set up the iPod as a new one.
- If you want to retain the apps daa and setting currently on the iPod, right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPOd from that backup
- You can also restore the iPod from a previous backup you have onthe Desktop if you want.

Anyones advice would be brilliant, I want to change my ipod mini 6G over to a new computer. Have uninstalled everything from old computer, loading up original disk on new comp, but my ipod will not show up in itunes, no matter what i try!!.

Many Thanks!

Welcome to the discussion,
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
