Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

HT2292 why i cannot update my ipod touch

why i cannot update my ipod touch

Impossible to say without details. Can you post further information, including your model of iPhone, version of Windows and iTunes, and exactly what is happening when you attempt to update? Note that if you are trying to upgrade a fourth-generation iPod touch to iOS 7, you can't.
Regards.

I cannot update my iPod touch to ios 5.0 because itunes (11.01) says its verion is the newest.

I cannot update my iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1) because itunes (11.01) says its verion is the newest, which is defenitely not true.

Hello everybody, i ve been having trouble with my ipod 5th generation...
Music works fine and all but when i want to update my ipod so that i can put pictures on it, itunes says... cannot update because of error -208.... does anyone know what that is?
Thank you so much if you can help me....

Do you have the latest version of iTunes?
iTunes download.
Usually this error occurs when trying to connect with the iTunes store. Is this where you are getting artwork from?

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

Cannot update 5G iPod setting after 1.2 update...

Has anyone else run into this problem. I updated to iTunes 7 today along with the 1.2 update for my 5G iPod. I am running Mac OS X.
After the update, my video playlists were removed from the iPod. Checking the iPod setting showed that the video playlist were no longer checked to auto sync. The problem is my iPod will not stay connected long enough for me to update this option. The iPod is recognized when I connect for once iTunes realizes the songs are up to date, the iPod disconnects. If I check to sync the video playlist and apply, an error message will appear saying that the iPod could not be found.
Any ideas or anyone else have this?

Ok well, i'm having a problem updating my ipod. Are you saying i should not even attempt to update and be glad for the block? I keep getting error messages.
But i totally agree with you. I'm frustrated. I can't add songs to my ipod and itunes won't even recognize the ipod. I've tried reverting to v6 and tried restoring as well. Always ending up with ERROR. Apple should have tested every version on every OS system. How long could that take??? 2 weeks with as many ppl working as they do. If i asked alll the ppl who had trouble with this new version if they could wait 2 weeks for a perfected version, what would they say?? THEY WOULD SAY FREAKING YES!
I would also agree that for close to $500CDN for an ipod... it should definitely last longer than a year. I'd say at least 3 or 4.
And if it does come to the end [ipod dying] i won't buy another. I think i will go back to the retro days of bought and burned cds on my trusty sony cd player.

HT1222 i cannot update my iOS 5.1

Hello....i cannot update my iOS 5.1 it keeps sending error....

I found the answer! I quit Dropbox!
My iPad updated to iOS 5.1 just fine (invisibly, even: iCloud) but my iPhone 4 wouldn't, even though both are on my same home network. Even plugged into my MacBook Pro, it wouldn't update the phone—until I quit Dropbox! Then I went straight over to iTunes, clicked my phone under Devices (left-hand pane), and clicked the Update button in the center of the main pane. The download started right away.

Cannot update my ipod touch. No sytem update., Cannot update my ipod touch. No sytem update.

I have tried to upate my IPOD TOUCH but when i go through the steps, (settings>general>sytem update...) there is no sytem update on my general page....
Also I cannot connect it to my new Mac comp to transfer the songs and pictures to the comp.. I also cannot connect my iphone to my Mac either... Help?

That update option requires that the iPod already have iOS 5. You have to update via iTunes one the computer.
To update
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
Identifying iPod models
For the iOPS devices not showing in iTunes see:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you have OSX 10.6.X d not omit the Additional Information paragraph.

I cannot update my ipod 3G (32 gb) NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS.

"iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again"
This has been the plight of new ipod. I bought an iPod 3G (32 gb) used. It hadnt been updated in quite sometime.
Prior to the 3G, I had an iPod 2nd gen (8 gb) on the same computer. I never had a problem with updating it.
I had jailbroken that iPod (2nd gen) with Green apple and some feature of that disabled updates. (This may be why I cant update)
But green apple is not, nor has it ever been, on my new iPod, soI think the problem lies elswhere.
I have quite literally tried everything.
My internet connection is more than fine, my ipod functions as it should, and I can connect to the itunes store.
It will not, however, connect to the update server.
Please help.

This was the only thing I couldn't try. This also leads to another problem of mine. I am running off of windows 7 and I am the profile on it. My profile is set to be the admin, but when I tired Resetting the hosts file, it denied me access, saying that I had to seek premissions from the computer's admin.

My ipod says that it cannot update my ipod because the required files....

cannot be found.
PLEASE HELP

I just dealt with the same problem. None of the answers people gave to the problem worked!
Whatever it is that you're trying to put into your iPod... make sure that the file is located in your "My Music" file first.
Basically, when you get that message double check and if what you selected isn't in "My Music" drag and drop into it and try again.
I hope that helped!
I know... so frustrating.

Cannot update my iPod manually

Some playlists can be copied, others not. Importing command from the File Menu does gray out some files on the Harddisk, same song converted to .mov, .aif, and .mp4, too.
In the iTunes Folder the »songs« are to find in the »unknown artist« folder ....
_______ The same in German: Einige Spiellisten können kopiert werden, andere nicht. Der Import-Befehl zeigt einige Musikstücke auf der Festplatte nur grau, selbst wenn das Musikstück in .mov, .aif, oder .mp4 Forma konvertiert ist.
Diese Musikstücke finden sich im iTunes folder im Folder »Unbekannter Interpret«.

Yes, but I have been able to click the "update ipod" button also in the manual mode prior to this instance. How would you, then, get only the songs that YOU have purchased onto your ipod without getting other ipod user's songs on your ipod as well? WE have 3 ipods in our home. Therefore, if I purchase a song on itunes and update the song automatically to get it into my ipod, I always end up getting the other's songs as well.

HT4972 I cannot update my Ipod to version 7 to be able to use the podcast app any longer. This is very irritting. This was oe of the biggest reasons I purchased my Itouch to begin with was to use the podcast app. Now wnat?

I have an Itouch and was very pleased with it. No problems with it. I recently updated it, but it will not let me update to version 7. Now I can no longer get access to the podcast apps. This was the primary reason I purchased my I touch to begin with. Now what? Don't tell me I have put purchase a new Itouch just to be able to continue to listen to podcasts. Are you kidding me?

I suspect you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
To get the version copatible with the 4G:
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
