If you don't use an ipod, is there a reason to download the updater?

Since I don't use an ipod, currently. Is there any reason I would need to download the updaters when they come out?? Is there some function they address even if you don't use one??

The functions previously provided by the iPod updater are now part of iTunes, and the updater is no longer available as a standalone download. You may still see an older version of the iPod updater in Software Update if your version of Mac OS X cannot run iTunes 7.

  • How do I get the 5.7 LR update?  Every time I click on the download button, the splash screen trying to sell me the cloud stuff pops up.  I don't want to buy anything, I just want to download the update.  Anyone know how?

  • TS3700 How do you solve this problem if you don't use an Apple headset?

    Pushing the headset flush is useful advice if you use Apple's headset, which cannot be used for running. What do you do if you don't use an Apple headset, if the headset is flush, and if the iPod stops playing after two minutes?

    Back from the gym.
    Same behavior with the Apple earbuds. Turn music on; and music turns off within seconds. Wait. Then maybe screen suddenly lights up. Quick, press play! Oh, too late, it went dark again. Fuss with the device. Suddenly screen lights up. Press play. Music! A few seconds, then off. Arghhh. And this happens whether I run or whether I am lifting weights.
    Then, for the last half hour, fine behavior. Double click goes to the next song. One click lights the screen on. One click lights the screen off. Running, walking, or stretching.
    Net net, same erratic behavior as with the other headset. I made sure the Apple jack was fully inserted per the photo on another thread in this support community. The part where the iPod was working fine also explains why the genius at the store thought I was gaga when I claimed there was a problem.
    Shuffle shake is off; double click on big button set to next song; all other options off.

  • I had an iPod nano and then got a classic iPod, which then broke. So I wanted to start using my iPod nano again. I still have the same iTunes account, but when I try to sync this iPod with my iTunes nothing happens.

    The music that was on this nano when I stopped using it a few years ago is still on it, and I want to replace it with other songs that I've added to my iTunes since then.

    iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account."  They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store.  It is not required to use an iPod.
    The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased.  Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward.  You can then add content to your shuffle.
    The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store.  Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

  • Photoshop CS5(64Bit): "You don't have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission."  I am the administrator and I give myself permission. What can I do to save the file?

    Photoshop CS5(64Bit): "You don't have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission."  I am the administrator and give myself permission. What can I do to save the file? This is the user's PC, licensed PS CS5 software and Win 7 OS.

    Temporarily save to another folder, until you figure it out.
    Just because you are the owner and are the sole administrator, does not always guarantee that you have permission. There are several folders that you can not access no matter how hard you try. As for folders in your document folder, it is more likely a basic permission setting that took on permissions of a copied file. Some folders and files are set to a child/parent default setting, meaning the child folder/file (the one you are accessing) has the identical settings of its parent and when the parent changes, so does the child.
    You can alter the parent or the child folder/file.
    Right click on the folder/file select properties.
    Click on the security tab.
    Click on each of the group names and see what permissions are set.
    You can then edit a group if necessary.
    If it will not allow it, you may need to use the advanced button to create a new copy of the group which should happen when you alter its settings (In other words, you don't have to physically create the copy, it does it for you when you OK the changes)
    The administrator should have full access to the folder in the documents folder, if you are listed as an associate of the administrator group your name should also be listed there with full access. The System should also have full access.
    All other groups should have reading access only if they exist.

  • I had used Iphone4 to update to ios 7.0.4(11B554a) but after update whenever I want to create new contact, I can't type in the word because the keypad don't appear, what should I do? Can I uninstall the update of ios 7.0.4?

    You cannot uninstall the update. Apple does not support downgrading. What troubleshooting have you done? Start with a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Are you syncing contacts with iCloud?

  • Ever since I got the new update 5.1 my iPod's been dying faster. It used to last for at least 3 hours, now it won't even last one hour and dies for no reason(even when it's in sleep mode, and not in use) What's wrong with it? Is it the update? lagging too

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • HT201263 ok, I did the above, and I waited 2 hours for this to download the "update." Then I try it again on the ipod, and it starts to redo the same download all over again !

    I started the update, and in the middle of it, the same previous screen pops up that it can't connect to the ipod,and the ipod screen goes back to "disabled." I waited it out, let the download finish. Then I had to try the process over again, and it started the download all over again, even though I just did that. Another two hours??? This is driving me mad. All for a stupid password ! How do I reset this dang thing, so I can open it. Bad enough I have to re do everything, because I have to restore it. PLEASE HELP !
    Just wanted to add that apparently the ipod is disconnecting and reconnecting to the computer somehow. I know because when you plug in the ipod, the computer makes a noise, as with any hardware. Well I click on "restore," agree to the restore, then it starts to download the update. A few minutes later, I hear the computer make the same noise, as if I have disconnected the ipod, even though I haven't even touched the cord. Then it makes the sound again, as being reconnected or plugged in, then the message pops up that it can't be connected, because a password has to be entered. The ipod screen then goes from the restore picture ( the itunes logo with usb cord) to the same "disabled, connect to itunes."
    I am not trying a different cord and seeing if that helps the plugged in portion.

    Do a manual install using the instructions here.
    have you download the update/firmware, place the iPod in recovery mode and then update/restore using the instructions in the article.

  • Download the updated version of the software can not use and why?

    Download the updated version of the software can not use and why?

    It will help if you tell us what model of iPod touch you have, how and from where you downloaded the update, what version of iOS this update is, and details about the problem; "can not use" doesn't give us anywhere near enough information on which to base a diagnosis and offer suggestions.
    Regards.

    I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
    Thank you, Ripley

    I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
    Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

  • When using gmail on safari, there is white tie on the top

    when using gmail on safari, there is white tie on the top and I don't know why it is.

    Might be a third party plugin or extension causing this ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not a plug-in issue, select the Extensions tab. If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.  If that made a difference, uninstall one at a time, quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the culprit.
