PLEASE HELP ME! My iPod will suddenly not update, I've tried everything!

Here is a little background info.
I am using a 20GB touch wheel Ipod bought about 1 1/2 years ago. It was the last model of Ipod made before the color screens came out. I have used it forever and have never had a single problem until now (ever since I downloaded iTunes 7). Here is the problem: Each time I connect it to the PC I get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "STANDARDUPRISE" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." Itunes DOES recognize the ipod and so does Windows explorer, although I am also unable to save files as a hard drive (I get the same error message from Windows). I have tried everything I know to do...I did a soft reset, restored to factory settings, checked the drive for errors using chkdsk utility, erased the entire drive (it is now music/file free except for iPod software), and I have even screamed at it. But nothing has seemed to fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Im up for any suggestions! Thanks so much for the help
Chris

I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

My wifi wont work anymore with the ios 7 update I have tried everything please help!!!

I updated to the ios7 it worked great for about a day and now my wifi will not turn back on! I have tried everything please help I do work from my phone and I need it to function properly ! I cant update for the newest ios7 because I dont have wifi!

As Apple has posted on their website since early June, only the 5th gen ipod touch can handle ios 7.
Do you have a 5th gen ipod touch?

Ipod mini no longer recognized, I have tried everything

About a month ago, the computer stopped "seeing" my Mini. It would charge (show the usual charging big battery logo) but it would not be seen in device manager, my computer, itunes or real player. The computer is a Windows computer running XP home. This is a 6 GB ipod running 1.4.
I have reset the ipod, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ipod software and itunes. I have reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. I have used different USB ports.
I cannot restore since the Ipod updater does not recognize it, either.
Any ideas at all? The Ipod works fine, I just can't transfer new music onto it which is making me nuts.

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various solutions that you can try to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Also See:
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes“Strange iPod Behavior within Windows”
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
There have been some successes using the information in this post below. WARNING: I have absolutely no clue to what this download file does, and introducing it into your PC environment is risky.

The above tool looks like it removes (or it's supposed to remove) Apropos adware. Apropos is a known cause of this problem: iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty
... but other adware using the ContextPlus engine has also been known to cause similar effects.
If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

IPod Touch will NOT sync! Have tried EVERYTHING! ... suggestions anyone?

I have no idea what is going on, my iPod touch is only 6 months old and in good condition. I've never dropped or anything like that, no computer crashes or surges that would cause any problems with it, and up until this morning, it has been working fine connecting to my netbook and such, downloading and all that.
I have tried re-installing iTunes TWICE, and it still will not recognize my iPod at all. It will charge it, but just not recognize it. I updated the usb driver and thought that was that problem because it actually seemed like it was out of date and re-started the computer, but it still didn't work.
I have no idea why it all of a sudden is not recognizing my iPod, and could use any suggestions. I really wanted to enjoy using my iPod this Memorial Day Weekend and hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance~

Jailbroken means to jailbreak it, but I will not go in to detail, as Apple does not allow it. Do not do it if you find out what it is, Apple voids your warenty, and it can go seriously wrong and brick your iPod. See Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store for how to sync apps on iTunes, and Syncing music to iPod or iPhone for syncing music.

Have no volume on iPad for movies and games, hAve tried everything

I have no volume on my iPad for movies and games, I have tried everything

If the movies are not being played in the pre installed videos app, you may have systems sounds muted..
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
