HELP! IPOD can't update!

I downloaded some songs and tried to update my ipod. I keep getting this error that says that it can't read to or from the media. So I formatted my ipod thinking that would help and all it did was erase everything. (which I knew it would do) but it still can't put anything on my ipod or take it off.
*pulls hair out*
What do I do???
I got it for xmas and have only used it for a couple of weeks.
If someone could help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Well i fixed it by doing using a previoud updater but when i have all the songs on there half of them just dont work!? they worked very nicley on my old 4th gen!? what gives with this? shouldnt the 5th gen be able to handle it? i would think so... any help would be much appreciated.... oh and my movies dont like to work much at all either and all were purchased of itunes sadly so i think somethign is wrong with the ipod itself

  • Help! Can't update iwork and imovie because "You have updates available for other accounts".

    I recently purchased Macbook Pro with iMovie, iwork keynotes, pages and numbers preloaded in the machine. Now the App Store icon indicates that I have updates available.  So when I open up app store and click update, I got an warning stating " You have updates avaialbe for other accounts - to update this application, sing in to the account you used to purchase it". 
    I called tech support.  I was told that I must have had another account.  But clearly I don't have another account.  I'm not alzheimer.  If I had another account, I would have remembered it.  I used the same account for ipod, iphone, itune for many many years.  So I went on the support communities for help.  I read some post saying I should add my hard drive to spotlight privacy, then remove it.  I tried it, it didn't work.  Some said I need to enable something by entering a script to the terminal.  I followed the steps, it didn't work. Then some other post said that I should delete the apps, then reinstall it.  So stupidly enough, I deleted keynotes to "TEST" if it works.  Guess what? I completed removed keynotes from my macbook.  I can't even recover it?! At least before I deleted it, I had the old version of keynotes although obsolete, still functional.  Now I removed it, I don't even know how to reinstall it. 
    So, I'm so update and dying for help.  Can someone please teach me how to make my Macbook understand that I only have one account and let me update iMovie and iwork? Also, how to restore the accidentally deleted Keynotes?
    Thank you!!!

    You're just going to have to get back to the support folks with your Apple ID problem - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
    They should be able to rectify the problem.

  • Help! Can't update my ipad2 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7

    IM using iPad 2
    ITs always error when I was updating my iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7.2.1
    ITs was been lfew months ago I can't update the iOS.
    SOme time can be downloaded but not allowed to install, or can't be download, error.
    PLs help me!!:(

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Help! Can't update my Payment Information.

    I've recently had to cancel my old credit card. I've just been handed my new one. Same bank, same billing address. I've been trying to update my payment information for two days now, with no success. iTunes says one of two things: "Your credit card informatin does not match your bank's records. Please enter a US credit card and matching address." Of course the credit card is US as well as the bank. I
    've already called the bank twice to check that all the information is correct: billing address, credit card number and that the card is activated, etc. And they've said yes to all the aforementioned.
    The other legend I recieve is: "Enter a valid security code." So it's either one or the other, but I just can't get it to work. And the bummer is that I can't update nor download anything from iTunes nor the App Store until I get this corrected.
    Any takers? Please Help!
    Thanks ahead for your wisdom.
    evf

    "Enter a valid security code."
    Try the troubleshooting help here >  iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
    And something else to try...
    Launch iTunes then from the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click:  Reset warnings and Reset cache then click OK.
    See if that helps.

  • IPod can not update, playlists no longer exist

    For some reason after downloading the newest version of iTunes (though it could have been from something I did) everytime I try to update my iPOD with the latest songs and playlists I get a message that reads "songs on the iPod XXXXX can not be updated because all of the playlists selected no longer exist."
    Anyone have any idea what I did? I even reset my iPod and that did not help so I have a 60GIG iPod with no music.

    This is what sometimes happens when you delete that special playlist that iTunes created for you:
    iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists no longer exist

  • Windows Error 48 Ipod can't update

    Anybody know how to fix this problem Everything has worked fine for about 3 weeks. Connected Ipod Nano 4gb to Itunes tonight and got message "Error 48 - Problem with Ipod cannot update Ipod". Only solution I could find was to reset Ipod and reload all 800 songs and create playlists from scratch. Is there a way to backup the IPOD with its playlists on the computer so that if it happens again I can just restore the Ipod after resetting it?

    I'm having the exact same problem. It worked fine yesterday, but when I tried to turn it on today it blinks red and green. Windows shows it as a removable drive, iTunes won't detect it and ipod updater doesn't find it either.
    Help please...
    Greetings Carlo.

  • New iPod can't update to 4.2?

    Hello and Merry Christmas, etc...
    I'm trying to update my brand new iTouch to 4.2, but when I hit update, and I click okay for the few things it asks. It appears to be downloading the OS, and then it says "to check the network connections because the connection timed out." This has happened 3 times. What network connections? I'm online and connected to the internet as I'm typing, and the iPod is connected. Any help? Does the sleep mode matter here?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    I have the same problem since three weeks.. I click on everything, then the update starts downloading. Suddenly a message appears and says that my iPod touch got disconnected (error -35). I changed the usb port twice and I still have that problem... Is there someone who can help me ? That would be extremely appreciated

  • HELP! - Can't update Adobe Air Apps - Application Install Error

    I have several Adobe Air Apps on my Mac OSX (10.9.4) MackBook Pro. They won't update due to the following Install Error.
    "The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid. Please contact the application author."
    Following the above instructions, I've been contacting the authors of my Adobe Air Apps and they are telling me that it is not their problem. The Apps should simply update without difficulty.
    I searched the "Google" and found no fix other than uninstall and reinstall Adobe Air. Did this and the problem persists.
    If you can help me get beyond this issue and back to productivity, I'd be very appreciative.
    Thanks!
    David

    I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.

  • HELP, I  can't update iphone because it disconnects!

    I've tried several times to update my iphone on 3 different computers. Everything goes through until the last second, it stops and says it has been stopped because the iphone has been disconnected, when it was NOT disconnected. Can someone please help me? My computer(s) have been updated, all programs are up to date, so it has no security issues or anything like that. Thanks

    Does it backup and sync OK? Make sure you're connected directly to a USB2.0 port and not through a hub. Try several ports on your computer. It also might be an issue with your security software, i.e. antivirus, malware, firewall, etc. Try temporarily disabling those.

  • Need help. Can't update my OS (10.5.5)

    Every time I tried to update my sofware (OS and apps) I get an error message. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and I haven't being able to get rid of it. It happens with manual and automatic installs. I have 10.5.5, I've tried to install the 10.5.8 Combo and the 10.5.6 update, both have failed.
    Message from manual install:
    "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.8. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for MacOSXUpd10.5.6. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Message from automatic install:
    "None of the checked updates could be installed.
    The following install step failed: run preflight script for IPhoto Updater. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I've read a couple of post with the same problem and different solutions, none of them have worked for me and even some people have without their problem being resolved. Please I really need to fix this.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    Since you haven't told us what you've done, we can only suggest the usual:
    Do a +*Repair Permissions+* and +*Verify Disk+* (not permissions) on your internal HD, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder). If the +Verify Disk+ fails, you'll have to boot from your Install disc and use it's copy of DU to repair. Post back if you need to do this but aren't sure how.
    If those succeed, disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse, and try the "combo" again.
    If no help, do an +Archive and Install,+ preserving users and settings, per the *Archive & Install* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip.*
    Then try the "combo" again.
    If still no luck, make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • Help, I can't update Apps or Install New Ones!!!!

    Ok, I've never had a problem like this before and I can't find anyone else describing this event.
    First, I tried updating an app today and the app just sits there, trying to install, but never progressing.  Here is a screen shot:
    Second, I now can't install new apps either, screen shot:
    I don't know what to do.  I did a hard reset, (holding down the sleep and home button).  That did not work.  I have delted the apps, but then tried to reinstall with no luck.
    I don't know where to go from here.  I backup via iCloud and I've never even synced this phone to a computer.  I don't want to lose everything that I have in Pages and in my Journal, etc.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to move forward?
    Thanks!

    Just to let anyone else know that has this problem, I spoke to an Apple Store employee and they suggested that I reset my Network Settings.  It is found under Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings.
    DO NOT RESET ALL SETTINGS!
    But I did use the Reset Network Settings and everything started working.  So try that. 
    As a side note, the employee did tell me to do the Reset All Settings if the Network one did not work.  He told me that it would not erase the phone, but just put the settings back to default.
    Hope this helps someone else, because I am back to normal now!

  • Help I can't update my 5800

    Mine problem is that when I want to update mine phone (nokia 5800)  it says ''there are no updates available''
    but now i am having v20.0.0.012 and there is  already is a firmware v50 for mine phone
    I also have read something about changing the product code but I can't do that because I don't have a USB cable  
    I also tried to change the server profile but that did not work.
    Does someone knows of a hard reset will work ?
    I hope that someone could help me
    sorry for mine bad English  iam Dutch

    Reasons why a phone cannot update:
    1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
    2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
    3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.
