HELP! iPod won't update, etc.

So my iPod has been broken for about three weeks now. The first week, I came here and was trying to fix it but I couldn't. I left it alone since it wasn't working and last night I tried turning it on. It worked, so I charged the iPod. Everything was reset and I had no songs in the iPod so this morning I decided to update it. The computer doesn't recognize it; I've tried reinstalling the iPod CD; clicking on iPod updater, but it still wouldn't work. And whenever I'd disconnect it from the computer, it turns off and resets everything again.
PLEASE HELP!

Did You try to put it on factory settings? Is you did, and it is still not working, check again installation of Itunes.
But i recommend You to take it to apple service center. The'll know what to do. Anyway you have a guarantee

  • I deleted my "iPod Slection" playlist and now my iPod won't update.

    I don't know exactly how it happened but the songs on my original "iPod Selection" playlist got messed up and so iTunes automatically created another "iPod Selection Playlist" and I didn't want the songs it put in that playlist on my iPod so I deleted it. But now my iPod won't update because it says "your iPod cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Seems like you've got auto sync with your iPod and it is looking for a specifically named playlist.
    Check your preferences.
    Create a new playlist and sync that.

  • IPod Won't Update - Is iTunes 7 to blame?

    I started having problems with my iPod's playback - skipping songs in a playlist and skipping to the next track before the end of the song - I then tried to add songs (and update calenders etc.) using iTunes 7 (having only just downloaded it) and then everything stopped working.
    The iPod registered on the computer and in iTunes - the contents of the iPod appeared in ITunes too, but it refused to accept new songs - when I tried to add songs, iTunes said it was updating, but it froze on the second song and iTunes then crashed.
    I have restored the iPod and reinstalled iTunes 7, but neither of them work - the iPod won't update and iTunes constantly crashes (particularly when playing and pausing songs). I tried downgrading to iTunes 6.0.5 - which works fine - but the iPod still would not update.
    Are these problems due to iTunes 7 being rubbish or do I have a broken iPod?? Is there anything I can try??
    I have also just realised my mistake in putting this question in the Fifth Generation iPod forum, as I don't have one. Apologies for that - I have an iPod with click wheel but I don't seem to be able to move the question!

  • Playsists selected for syncing no longer exist? ipod won't update

    My new ipod won't update because it says that playlists I've selected for syncing no longer exist. For this reason I can't get any of my music onto my ipod and I don't understand what I am supposed to do to fix this

    Hi guys, I've been having the same problem. Specifically, when I try to transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod I get the following error message: "Songs in the iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated because all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I did some searching around at this site, and found that one possible problem is that my library is larger than my iPod's capacity, so I have to eliminate some songs. I did this, but I still get the same error message.

  • Update - Help - Brand New ipod - won't update with software

    IPod will not update with cd-rom it came with - this is the first - initial - brand new install of ipod
    win xp with sp2 installed
    used cd-rom that came with ipod - followed instructions to the tee - stated it can not update ipod - itunes does not see ipod - went to web site and downloaded 47mb file from june 05
    still will not update - states ipod not supported by this software - the ipod is BRAND NEW - 30gb color photo ipod??
    please help me

    Hi I had the same problem with my last ipod. i tried all of the steps on the apple support site but none of them worked. I decided to send my ipod in for a repair. Anyway when a week later my ipod came back it was fixed but when i loaded up the computer the disk locked again. I followed through the instructions which said to download the newest software. So i downloaded the new software again and this still didnt work. The last thing i tried to do was to use an old version of an updater so i used (ipod updater 2004-11-15) this ran through the restore process and after completing this, the menu on the ipod loaded up. I then connected to itunes and it allowed it to communicate and transfer the songs
    It worked for me i hope it works for you.
    Best of luck

  • IPOD won't update from iTunes

    Jeez, I thought that iTunes/iPOD would be pretty simple; move music from here to there. I have been using for over a year with no problem, but within the latest couple of upgrades to iTunes, my iPOD will no longer update correctly. I have spent over 6 hours trying to figure this crap out, and it still won't work. YEAH, I have the latest Updater/iPOD software installed, and the latest iTunes. Plug in my iPOD, and it says its updating, and I can see the new music on the iPOD from iTunes, but its NOT ON MY IPOD when I unplug and try and play. The other day I formatted the dang thing, and spent five hours moving music; next day added two additional songs to the library, and they will not move to the iPOD. Have tried moving manually, but they still will not play on the iPOD.
    What kind of crap are you giving us??? If iTunes/iPOD won't do what its supposed to do (move music from here to there), then I don't want to mess around with it. If you can't move my music properly, why would I put my Contacts/Calendars on this device?
    Support: Forget about it! Post a message in a Discussion Group and hope for the best. Forget about actually calling someone and asking for help, even though you paid top dollar for your 30gb iPOD. I'm starting to look for some fool to buy it and let them deal with it. Oh Yeah, by the way, the screen is scratched even though I bought a PROTECTIVE case for it.
    Several people in our office were interested in purchasing an iPOD, iShuffle and I have convinced them to look elsewhere.

  • Ipod won't update, says my computer isn't authorized to play my itunes song

    I just purchased an album and several individual songs thru itunes. But, when I connected my iPod, it said "updating" then it said something like "unable to update some songs like (song name) because you are not authorized to play them on your computer." I purchased the songs thru iTunes using the same computer, so the message doesn't make any sense. It will update songs I downloaded from a CD, but will not update the songs I just spent $20 purchasing. By the way, this happens for both my shuffle and my nano. I've purchased and update music in the past without problems. This problem just started happening a few weeks ago. I've spent hours and hours running the updater software, etc, but to no avail.
    Help!! Has anyone out there experienced this same problem?

    Play the songs in iTunes, then update the iPod.

  • My ipod won't update

    When i open itunes and connect the ipod it recognizes it as usual and begins flashing the do not disconnect image on the ipod however it doesn't go away unless you manually eject the iPod and then the iPod does not update and add new songs. If you right click on the iPod in itunes and click update the entire screen flashes once and then the information bar at the top never changes to updating ipod, i've installed the latest itunes and updater and updated the software on the ipod itself, it did that sucessfully but nothing else. thanks

    Go to "Edit Preferences -> iPod" to be sure that you are on one of the "Automatic" settings, which should automatically eject your iPod.
    iTunes won't automatically eject your iPod, though, if "Disk Use" is enabled. Right-click your iPod, and see if disk use is enabled. If it is, then try unchecking Disk Use, and see if that works.

  • Urgent! My iPod won't update!

    My iPod says this when I connect it to iTunes, "Song on this iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist." and it also says "Unknown error (-50)" (or something like that). Can anyone help me out here? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Let's start you out with a few things with this issue:
    Have you tried the Five R's? Reset, Retry, Restart, REinstall, Restore. Read about them here -> The Five R's
    Have you tried assigning your iPod a different drive letter? Follow these instructions below:
    Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
    Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, then follow these steps:
    1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).

  • IPod won't update

    I recently tried to update my iPod and I get a message saying that some of the playlists needed for updating no longer exist and it won't update. It also cleared my entire library on my iPod as well.
    I'm not sure how to fix this because the only playlist i have is the recently added one.

    You need to check your music settings in itunes when the ipod is connected to the computer.
    Connect the ipod to the computer
    click on music at the top of the summary page when itunes recognizes the ipod.
    see if the ipod is set to update only to a particular playlist and if that playlist still exist in itunes.

  • IPod won't update software

    I have downloaded the latest software for my shuffle and for some reason it won't update. The only I get is Restore. This is the same for the 1.1 version. My iPod no longer plays any music. It only flashes orange and green. Any suggestions would be very useful. I just want my shuffle to work.

    If it is flashing green and orange, this is normally not a good sign. A call to Apple iPod Tech Support may be in order... sorry

    P.S. Did you try resetting it?
