How do I downgrade new 160GB Classic from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1?

Just bought a iPod Classic 160GB last November (first Apple purchase). Have been using successfully with Toshiba Sat Pro laptop with XP Pro SP1 (SP2 will not work properly on laptop). Have iTunes 7.4.3.1 and had 1.1.1 on iPod until yesterday, when I was informed there is a newer version (1.1.2), which I downloaded. Now I get an error message telling me my laptop cannot connect to iPod because 1.1.2 only works with iTunes 7.6. But I cannot run iTunes 7.6 on my laptop, because it requires SP2, which I do not want to/cannot run. How do I get the iPod back to 1.1.1?

Hi Tattenbach,
Thanks for the reply. I am able to get the iPod into Disk Mode, but it does not help me at the moment. I am in Chicago and went to the Apple Store today and explained my problem to one fo the Geniuses. He connected my iPod to an Apple MacBook there and "restored" it, albeit in Mac format. Supposedly I would now get a message when connecting to my laptop saying something like "An iPod has been detected" and I would then have the opportunity to install the older software (1.1.1) on it. I have deleted the 1.1.2 iPod software from my files and left the 1.1.1, so that iTunes will load 1.1.1 (the one that still works with my laptop) onto the iPod. But... when I connected it, I still get the error message that I cannot connect because the iPod software is compatible only with iTunes 7.6 and higher (which I cannot use). I checked the software version listed under "About..." and sure enough, it says 1.1.2 MAC.
When I set the Ipod to Disk Mode, the laptop sees the iPod, but says the disk is not formatted. When I answer "Yes" to the question "Do you want to format it?", nothing happens.
I tried to connect it to Floola, but it it says "iPod not connected". I clicked on "Repair iPod". When I get to the window "Did you read the page on Corrupted Files?" and click on "Yes", the "Next" button remains faded out and I have only the option of clicking on "Quit".
I thought using Apple products was supposed to be much easier than Windows? My frustration with this iPod is no less than what I have had with my Windows-based laptops.
Any further ideas in how to get my $400 paper weight working again?

  • Help: Is there a way to move all the music from my old 30GB classic ipod to my new 160GB classic?

    I recently filled up my 30GB ipod classic so I got a new 160GB classic. My 30GB is synced to an old Windows PC and my new ipod is synced to a Mac. Can I move all the music on my old ipod (even if some songs aren't in my old library) to my new ipod?

    You can't trasfer music between different accounts. If both computers use the same iTunes account, simply sync them to the same computer.
    Music from old ipod goes to that computer, then select which tunes you want added to the new ipod and sync it.

    I really need your help

    I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
    Show the Alert like this:
    // show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
    Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
         Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
    Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
    protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
    if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
         navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
    else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
         // they chose no
    The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

  • New 160gb Classic Help

    Hi Guys, my first post and hopefully not my last.
    I got a new 160gb classic last week, problem I have is that once the ipod is shut down and left for over an hour or so I have to carry out a reboot on it to start it up.
    Visited an Apple Genius who reinstalled the software but I am still having the same problem and need to carry out a reboot all the time.
    Has anyone had this issue before ?
    Do I need to have my ipod replaced by Apple ?
    Thanks in advance
    Jon

    Your iPod is definitely not working correctly, you could try restoring it yourself and see if that does any good. However if it continues to give you problems after restoring then contact Apple about a replacement under warranty.
    Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

    What specifically is your performance issue? I haven't really seen any difference between iOS 7 and iOS 8.
    Here are some general performance suggestions from the Internet:

  • How do i get new xml back from edited DOM

    i parsed XML to get the DOM and then i edited the dom now how do i get the new XML back from the edited DOM ?????????
    thanx
    sam

    It's not nearly as straight-forward as it should be, but check out the javax.xml.transform package (assuming you're using JDK 1.4).
    I think Xerces has simpler methods for doing this, but I wrote my own serializer class ages ago, and tend to use that.

  • Has anyone seen the NEW 160GB Classic for sale (besides at Apple)?

    Amazon is still selling the 120GB.
    Perhaps someone is familiar with the typical time delay between when a product is available from Apple and when other resellers made them available.
    I have found some selling the OLD 160GB (for about $500).

    I was at Best Buy 9/12/09 and got the new 160gb for the same price as the old 120gb.

  • How do I populate my iPod classic from iCloud without first downloading to my Mac (there is not enough space on my Mac)?

    I have approximately 16G free on my iMac.  All of my music (20,000+ tracks) is in the cloud.
    I want to entirely fill my iPod Classic (160G) but I cannot free up enough interim storage on my iMac.  Is there a way to load the iPod Classic without physically downloading to my iMac first?
    In other words, I understand I need to connect the classic to iTunes on my Mac, but can I load the iPod Classic from iCloud, through iTunes without downloading first.
    Thank you

    Thanks - Unfortunately I figured that out yesterday.  I tried downloading a bit at a time and populating the iPod.  I had hoped that when I deleted it from local it wouldn't really dissappear from the ipod and I could download a bit more.  as you likely already know, that didn't work.
    Rats.
    I deleted my iPhoto libraray and videaos and that made space for the 20,000+ tracks.  About 18,000 fitted on the 160GB iPod.
    Now I have to restore the iPhoto library and videos.
    A lot of work...

    Hi,
    For option: "install new versions automatically", we can simply prevent it via GPO or registry (the registry entry can also be deployed via GPO)
    Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer - Install new versions of Internet Explorer automatically
    Or

  • How do you make new playlists derived from previous playlists?

    I seem to remember a time when I could open one of my playlists as a window, and could have several playlists open at once as windows, and could drag songs from one to the other to create new playlists.   Is this capability still there?  From what I see in order to create a playlist now I can only add songs from my full music database rather than from another created playlist.  This is 10 times harder to do because the full music database has so many songs its hard to find what I want.  What am I doing wrong.

    You can create a new smart playlist (File > New Smart Playlist from iTunes' menu).  You can put a rule in there such as Playlist Is [an old playlist you would like to include].  You can have several such rules.

  • How to upgrade/downgrade an existing Arch from external media?

    Hi there!
    After last upgrade of kernel and video drivers i got a blank screen with no tty console.
    I read couple of threads in » Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues
    I found out that the solution would be "to boot from external media, chroot and downgrade kernel to 3.9.9"
    Questions:
    1.How would i do that?
    2.Should i downgrade or upgrade (if with  the new kernel the issue is fixed)?
    Thank you!

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade
    If the new kernel is fixed, that's the best answer by far. If it's not, downgrade until it is.

    Yes.  The music on the old iPod will need to be stored in your iTunes library on your computer though for you to sync it over to the new iPod.  See this article for different ways to handle multiple iPods with one computer.
