HT201210 IPOD WONT UPDATE OR RESTORE

I haven't been able to update my iPad 2 for the longest time now. I've tried to do it just through the device only for it to get stuck on calculating download time and then give me an error message. I've tried to go through my computer as well only to have it hang up on connecting to the ipad update network. I'm getting quite frustrated and got to the point where I just tried to reset and restore everything and that won't even work! Please help, I've run out of ideas...

What happens when you try?

  • HT201210 ipod software update for restore takes over 5 hours

    My daughter forgot her password and I have been trying to restore for 24 hours now. The process has been taking hours (5 or 6), but then doesn't work to restore the device. I have disabled antvirus and followed detailed instructions found here and elsewhere. The ipod is brand new, updated, and itunes is up to date as well. However, the ipod softward update for restore is taking FOREVER.
    Are there any other tips or will I need to take this to the Apple store?

    The same thing is happening to me, I already made a lot of backups, I restarted the computer and the iPod and it's still using more then 30 gbs from my memory, and I have free memory, it's not full. But I'm relieved I'm not the only one.

  • HT201210 ipod wont update

    I have a 3rd generation ipod touch that will not update software it says my version is up to date but when I go to download apps it says it needs a different version. What could be the problem? How do I fix it?

    To update
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    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
      Identifying iPod models
    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.

  • Ipod wont update or restore or load in itunes

    Help - i have a 3rd generation 20gb ipod. It started going to a new song halfway through another song & i thought i'd let the battery run down. I've done that & i've come to my ipod & it's totally blank - there's no songs at all. When i try to connect it to itunes it just freezes. I've downloaded the new update but when i go to restore or update in one USB port it doesn't detect the ipod. In the other it says it's initializing but never does anything more. I've tried 2 different USB cables....no joy. I can't get it to detect it at all. Can anyone help me please? I can't find any related problems at all
    thanks suzy

    See below for paste from help. You need to use the /f or (ideally) the /r parameter. You need to run it from a command prompt.
    Syntax
    chkdsk [volume:][[Path] FileName] [/f] [/v] [/r] [/x] [/c] [/l[:size]]
    Parameters
    volume:
    Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.
    [Path] FileName
    Specifies the location and name of a file or set of files that you want chkdsk to check for fragmentation. You can use wildcard characters (that is, * and ?) to specify multiple files.
    /f
    Fixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive, a message appears that asks you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer.
    /v
    Displays the name of each file in every directory as the disk is checked.
    /r
    Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked.
    /x
    Use with NTFS only. Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All open handles to the drive are invalidated. /x also includes the functionality of /f.
    /i
    Use with NTFS only. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries, reducing the amount of time needed to run chkdsk.
    /c
    Use with NTFS only. Skips the checking of cycles within the folder structure, reducing the amount of time needed to run chkdsk.
    /l[:size]
    Use with NTFS only. Changes the log file size to the size you type. If you omit the size parameter, /l displays the current size.
    Displays help at the command prompt.

  • IPod Classic wont update OR restore

    Well, I've had my iPod Classic (80 gb) for about a year now. For a few months it's been trying to update but I haven't been able to because it keeps having an error while downloading it. So I just haven't been updating it since It wont let me. The other day my iPod kept skipping songs and doing crazy stuff so I plugged it in and it said the iPod was corrupt and I needed to restore it. So I tried that and it said update and restore. I keep trying to update it but it still won't update, therefor it wont restore. And thats the only option I have. Any suggestions or help?

    For a few months it's been trying to update but I haven't been able to because it keeps having an error while downloading it.

  • Ipod wont update, restore, WORK!!??

    hi everyone, my ipod's been playing up, its the second time this has happened, the last time i managed to sort out the problem but it was an accident! It started off by suddenly deleting all the songs in my ipod, they're still in my library but wont update onto my ipod, saying there is not enough memory. I have tried resetting, and then update/restoring but I keep getting a range of different error messages from "Internal error" to "formatting failure" i have searched through all the discussions on here but none have helped!! the ipod updater i downloaded seems to disappear on my computer leaving one from jan06, which is obviously out of date. PLEASE HELP!!!!
    thanks xxx

    You've seen this?
    Internal manager error.
    If after trying all else, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

  • My ipod is formated for windows xp. new laptop is windows 8. ipod wont update on new laptop, what do i do now?

    my new laptop is windows 8. iPod is formatted for windows xp. new laptop knows iPod is there but wont update. how do I fix this?

    hey there oddball35,
    It sounds like you are trying to update your iPod with your new computer. Without knowing the specific symptoms, I recommend you start with choosing the iPod model you have from the following website:
    iPod Troubleshooting Assistants
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    If that does not resolve the issue, are you getting any error messages, or what specifically is preventing the restore from happening?

  • Ipod wont Update in Itunes. HELP!!!!!!

    Heya guys. After installing Itune 6.0, I seem to be having problems with my Itunes recognizing my Ipod. Its plugged in and charging on a USB 2.0 cable, but when I use Itunes, I cant seem to have Itunes even recognize that my Ipod is plugged in and charging. It wont update it for me. Everything else seems to work fine, I can download podcasts just fine and go into the music store.
    Could it be that I need a USB cable? Before I would get a message saying something like the cable wasnt fast enough, but I didnt have trouble with it then.
    This is my computer that Im trying to get my Ipod to update on Itunes. I have tried to reinstall Itunes, but have trouble there.
    When I go into Itunes, I press the Edit Tab, then preference, then Ipod tab. It says then it isnt connected. But if it isnt connected, then how come it shows on my Ipod that it is charging?
    From what I've been reading, Itunes 6.0 is causing alot of grief. Im sorry if this is long-winded but I hope that I gave some details that would help. Thank you if you can be of anyhelp.

  • IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

    The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

    I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
    Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
    With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?
