Help... ipod updater 2005-09-23

I need help. I'm currently updating my ipod mini (actually since 1am this morning) and it's still updating. How long does this take? Secondly I can no longer see my ipod mini in itunes. It's all grayed out. The ipod mini is displaying do not disconnect, while the updater 2005-09-23 states that 1.4 is up to date. Can anyone help

I've downloaded the iPod Updater using the Software Updater and by manually downloading it from the Apple website -- Each time I've tried to run it, I get the message that "The updater does not have a firmware image" and will not update my 3rd Gen iPod. I cannot update the iPod until I can get it updated. Any help/suggestions? I've tried deleting the updater and reinstalling it but I get the same thing.

IPod Updater 2005-09-23

My updater will not recognize my 30 g iPod now. I updated iTunes to the 5.0.1 version and it recognizes my iPod fine now, however said that it could not download some some songs because the software on my iPod needed to be updated. I installed the updated iPod Updater and now IT says that my iPod is not supported. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
Any help is most appreciated.

I just downloaded the new iPod Updater 2005-09-23, trying to run the installation package, I get stuck on the "select a destination volume to install the software window"
Can't install it on my iPod (where it is mend to go I believe??????, it is after all an iPod updater?????). And the reason it gives is that i need Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher. But I run 10.3.9, which, by my calculations, is higher.
And when I choose to install on my HD, neither of the 2 options (System UI Server or iPod Updater 2005-09-23) highlight the install button.
So I am stuck.
When I open ITunes, it constantly tells me to install the software, otherwise I won't be able to copy songs I bought on iTunes to my Ipod.
On top of that, the software that is on my Ipod at the moment, is version 2.2, which, apperently is up to date. (?)
Please help!!!!!!!!!!

iPod Updater 2005-11-17 for Windows?

It should be on the CD that came with your ipod. If you're using Windows (don't know about macs), the updater installer keeps the previous versions which should be in your Start button.
The original updater that came with most ipods may have an earlier date, but it's the same 1.0. Each updater services multiple ipod models, so just because the updater date changes, it doesn't necessarily mean that anything changed for your particular ipod. There's only been one update for the ipod 5G which is 1.1. Any version you have before that one will be the same.
Check out your CD.

Shud iPOD Updator 2005-11-17 be download to iPOD neccessarily?

Hi All:
I have the iPOD Updator 2005-10-12 version on iPOD 30GB White Video. This is the default update, as I bought the iPOD very recently.
Should the iPOD be updated with the latest Updater software neccessarily or only if there is a bug or something doesnt work correctly in my iPOD should I update with new version of software?
Please update.
Thanks.
Anukul

The latest ipod s/w is meant for the shuffle. It has nothing new for the video so I would not bother updating.
To answer your question .. its never necessary to update the software as long as you are happy the way it works or there is some new feature on the update that you like

IPod Mini failed with iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4.9

Has anyone experienced iPod mini first generation failing completely (running low on batteries) after installing the iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4.9?
My iPod mini showed "Low battery sign please recharge" after being fully charged shortly after I installed the latest updater and iTunes 4.9. My iPod mini would show low battery status after playing 5 minutes or less. After several attempts to reinstall the latest update and iTunes software, I resolved the issue by reverting back to the original iPod Updater 2004-04-28 and iTunes 4.5. Now my iPod functions as before with the expected battery life.

Yeah, I didn't download it for that reason. I like my itunes the way they are. My iPod didn't work with the other one. So, I restored it. I don't plan to change my iTunes until i know for sure the new one is fool proof.

Does anyone have iPod Updater 2005-11-17

Do you have a link for the d/load: iPod Updater 2005-11-17.
The most recent one makes my iPod freeze and I can't find this last update.
I have found the download on the apple website but the link doesn't work.
Any Suggestions?

No link but it can be e-mailed to you.

HELP - iPod Update Problem

Just joined the Forum after reading some of the posts here - you guys seem to know alot more about this than me so any help is greatly appreciated.
My 30Gb 5th Gen iPod has software version 1.2.3. iTunes tells me there is a version 1.3 available but when I try to update it I get an unknown error message (1417).
I've been through the support pages and have done the 5 R's as recommended but my iPod won't restore - not even to the early version. I get an unknown error message (1418) when I try to restore.
On trying to just synch the iPod without updating the software iTunes tells me that my PC is not authorised to play over 100 tracks and it has now removed them from my iPod even after I have signed in to authorise my computer over 30 times when the messages appear!!
This is the only computer I have used to update my iTunes and iPod for over 2 years now and it is running fine. I've had no problems until now and usually update every 2 - 3 months.
I need help to get my iPod updated to the latest software and to get my iPod / iTunes to recognise that my computer is authorised to play the music.
Help please - I've been trying to get this thing to work for hours!!
Cheers, Al

Thanks Jeff but I've been through these steps on two or three occasions before I joined the forum and they haven't done any good.
The other reply tells me to re-format the iPod.
Is this a good idea or would I just be left with a (semi) useless portable drive?
If I were to consider this would I do it through "My Computer" and format the drive or explore the drive and just delete all the content?
I don't want to do anything that'll be un-recoverable. Let's face it I am still able to use the iPod at the moment and although I've lost access to 100 songs I still have over 3000 songs to keep me going! All I really want to do is update the software and keep it updated.
Another thread suggested the removal of iTunes and iPod updater software from the PC and then re-installation. Any views on that solution?

Help - iPod updater hangs/doesn't recognize

Any help will be appreciated..I am just sick n tired of this gadget..
- My iPod mini displays an folder with exclaimation mark (not sure why).
- So after reading this forum/support site, i decided to restore my mini.
- Now, if i start iPod updater to restore my mini, it firt asks me to plug in the iPod mini and then it just hangs/doesnt responds (goes bananas...) as soon as I connect my iPod to my laptpop.
- I have iPod mini and i am using (only) on windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated..

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003 thats what the folder with an exclamation mark means.
If you just leave it for a few minutes when it hangs it usually seems to sort itself out. and you can restore/update it

IPod Updater 2005-09-23 Update error

I have recently used the Apple iPod updater to update my click-wheel 40gig iPod, that is - I tried!
After pressing the update buttom everything went ok until I got a casual 'update error' message. Now I get the neat folder with an exclamation mark on my screen when I start the iPod and it is recognized by neither Windows nor Mac notebooks (or recognized as unformatted)!
I only have the option of 'restoring' i.e. formatting the drive. My Problem with this is that I have quite a few photos I took during a recent holiday in the Middle East on there (apart from the music I collected during the last year :-&.), because until Tuesday I only had notebook with a meagerly 10GB HDD.
Is there any way I can recover my files / revert to the previous software version?
The 'Geniuses' in the Apple Store London were pretty clueless behind their 'Genius-Bar' and looked like they could really use a drink (sadly not on offer at this bar...)
I upgraded from software version 3.0.2 if I remember correctly.
I really appreciate any help I can get!
Best,
Mark

It's a click wheel 40 GB iPod (b&w) and I updated from software version 3.0.2 - I think if it wasn't supported, the updater should not have started updating it!
What I am essentially looking for is a way to recover the data on my iPod...
Thanks,
Mark

Error with updating via ipod updater 2005-10-12

I have just got a new ipod 4th generation 20gig. The first thing i did was charge it up it went fine. It was working okay and i could get into the main ipod settings such as the language settings the music playlist etc.
I instaled itunes first, then i installed the ipod update FROM http://www.apple.com/ipod/download and opened it up. WHen i did open it up i got this message.
http://img39.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled13bu.jpg
There is no way that i can update because the button isn't highlighted, and therefore i tried restoring it. I did then i got an error saying something about the firmwire or something is corrupt. I can't remember the exactl phrase. So when i tried to turn on the ipod i got a little folder icon with a yellow exclamation mark sign.
Since then i can't get into the music playlist and i can't restart the ipod.
And ideas, cos i am really annoyed.

I have fixed the problem.
I must have done this about a hundred times but on the 100th time it worked.
I did a windows quick format, then instantly did a ipod restore using the ipod updater. And it worked. Useually it would just mess up at the ipod restore part. Anyway, i had to plug it into a mains to flash it, not its back to normal.
Weird how i tried so many times and it didn't work the first time.

IPod Updater 2005-10-12 released - WHY???

Why does Apple release an iPod Updater when a new iPod comes out? Isn't the iPod already up to date when it is released? I assume this is for the Mac side of things?

If you format your 5G i pod...
you would be able to revert to factory default load.
I have a 1G Ipod it will only hold one audible.com account license at a time. When I switch accounts I have to format Ipod then use ipod updater to revert.
