Installing iPod update.....need help PLEASE

Im trying to install the new software update for my 30 gb iPod and whenever I try and install a window pops up and says,
"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make Sure your network settings are correct and your network connectionis active, or try again later."
What does this mean???????

Unsure about doing 4.2 ipod update - need help please!

When I plug my ipod touch into my mac and indicate that I do want to do the 4.2 update the following message appears 'Updating to 4.2 will delete all media, including itunes store purchases. to preserve your media apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve apps, contacts, calendars, text messages and other settings. please don not interrupt the update which may take an hour or more'....... my question is, should I do this update?? From this message is sounds as though my ipod will be totally wiped clean. Is that what will happen? I don't sync when I plug in my ipod, I manually manage my music so I've read others comments regarding their success in unplugging their ipod after their update and replugging it back in and once it syncs all the music is there, playlists too. But since I don't sync I am concerned about mine. What is the best thing for me to do?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I'm not an advanced computer person - I consider myself an 'advanced beginner' and I'm really nervous about messing this up.

I just did the 4.2 update and now EVERYTHING is gone off my ipod - music, apps EVERYTHING!!! What do I do??? How do I get it back??? This stinks. I'm completely lost and I'm really frustrated. Please help

Hi! My notebook had to be fixed and I lost everything. I´ve downloaded iTunes and, of course, it´s empty. What happens if I sync my Ipod nano? Will I loose all music that is in my ipod? Need help, please! What should I do to keep my music?

"Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?

I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it. I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?

You say you have "tried an SMC." Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.

P.S. It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

Botched Update Need Help PLEASE!

Last week an Auto-Update failed and when I went to restart I got the forever loading screen. So after several minutes I started up in single user mode and I received the infamous:
Load of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 88
I have found discussions on the matter on random internet boards and blogs pretaining to ealier versions but nothing here yet. I'm not too Terminal "Bash" Savy but here was my attempt.
I downloaded what I thought would be the latest update that was botched onto a Flash Drive MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.dmg. The goal of course was to install manually as other Mac owners had been successful with this approach. I did have a problem with identifying my Hard Drive. I would get the message: "/Volumes/Macintosh HD does not exist." I tried several approaches including /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/.
I also noticed when I ran System Profiler that *My Disk Utility is 10.5.8 Last modified 8/20/06*... Again, I'm no expert but it is my understanding that 10.5.8 is Leopard, right? So... how is that possible? And what should be my course of action from here?

01. You have posted your 'Tiger' problem to an AppleScript programmers' discussion group. The appropriate group would be the 'Tiger' discussion group.
02. An experienced Macintosh user knows not to use the 'auto-install' feature (particularly with respect to a Security or System Update); but, to download the update(s), and manually install it / them. With respect to a System Update - download and install only the 'Combo Update' ('Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)' in your situation), with one exception - when updating to 'Mac OS X 10.x.1', where there will be no 'Combo Update' equivalent.
03. '... what should be my course of action from here?' - ...
If you have data to be backed up - you will need another Mac, a Firewire cable, and to follow these 'Firewire Target mode' instructions; then copy your data to the other Mac.
Whether you follow the above step (if needed to back up data) or not, boot from the provided install disc and perform an 'Erase and Install' installation. Once completed, obtain (that is - down first) the needed / preferred updates - and then install them. A suggestion - if 'QuickTime' and 'iTunes' are among the updates - install 'QuickTime' first, then 'iTunes'.
Finally, return the backed up data to your Mac.
Note: You can use the 'Apple, Software Update...' menu item, to launch 'Software Update' to obtain a list of Apple's suggested updates. From here you download the suggested / preferred updates via the applications 'Update, Download Only' menu item. The downloaded file(s) will be saved to the '/Library/Packages/' folder.
If among the list you see only 'Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update (Intel)' - remove its check mark, so as not to have it downloaded. Instead, click here - to view the web page from which 'Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)' can be downloaded from.
Recent 'Software Update' observation:
When performing the suggested 'Software Update' steps above, with a PowerPC G4 dual 500 MHz PowerMac - running MacOS X 10.4.11, the application listed 'Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2', 'iTunes Phone Driver', 'iPhoto Update', 'QuickTime', and 'Compatibility Update for QuickTime' as the needed updates. I choose to download, not auto install, the updates. The result was four (4) of the '.pkg' files saved to the Mac's '/Library/Packages/' folder, with an alert box stating 'Some of the checked updates couldn't be downloaded. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple"' - with respect to the 'QuickTime' update.
Wow, Apple's 'Software Update' application checked my system installation, talked home, suggested a list, and then reported a failure! Go figure. One could only imagine what may have happened - if the updates were allowed to be auto installed.
P.S. After the first four (4) updates were successfully downloaded, I attempted to download only the 'QuickTime' update. It too was then successfully downloaded. Rhetorical questions: Should I then trust the 'QuickTime' download?, or any of the downloads recommended by 'Software Update'?
Final note: Typically, one does not have to download (and install) the latest updates, at the time of release, or at any time; unless an application or an update requires the installation of another update - prior to its installation and usage.

OS 10.2 update need help please!

So i have a blackberry z10 which i bought off of someone, they were with either bell or rogers and than gave it to me and now it's with koodo. After buying the phone i noticed in small black letters at the top of me phone and it says " not for sale" and than a whole bunch of numbers. Everyone i know has the update except for me, i also live in Canada so i read that i was suppose to have the update already? I was told that i might have a " test trail" phone ? Like the phones that were given out to try out the z10, but i was told that if my phone is a test trail one it wouldve stopped working after a month and ive had it much longer than a month so i keep checking for th update and i know for a fact koodo has sent out their OS 10.2 update? So basically what im trying to say is, does anyone know if my phone can recieve the update or no?
thankyouu

personally, I'd manually load 10.2, it's not hard, just need a PC, a downloaded file, and about 2-3 hours.

Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

Hi all,
I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there. When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect. I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect. It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box. Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone. I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away? I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>

IPhone 2.0 update- NEED HELP PLEASE

i downloaded the new software and plugged my phone in to the computer while it uploaded on my phone. i went into the other room for a few seconds and when i came back it looked like the upload had finished but a notice had popped up. the notice closed by itself before i could finish reading it. the only thing i managed to read was to leave the phone connected. its been an hour since then and nothing has happend and when i press the home button its a picture of the white apple usb cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes icon. did i miss some imporatant instructions or does it just take a long time? please help :]

It takes a while, depending on how busy the server is.
The sign you missed said , basically, do not unplug the iphone when this process finishes your iphone will be recognized in itunes. After that, at some point, it connects to the server. Then after a while of that it restores the software on the iphone. Then everything looks like normal again.

Ipod Updater Need Help

I have a dmg file from the download and it will not install.
What program should i use to install this?

Select the mpkg in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under the Open With section, change the setting to the Installer and then click Change All. If you don't see the Installer in the list of options, use Pacifist to extract the Installer from your Mac OS X installation disks or updaters. You can also use Pacifist to extract the updater directly, but no receipt will be created for the updater if you do this. Without the receipt, some parts of Mac OS X may not realize that the updater has been installed, and the Repair Permissions command won't check or repair permissions on the updater's files.

My flash player quit and keeps failing to install... need help please!

Hi. I am not able to install my flash player. I went thru the troubleshooting tips on adobe.com/go/tn/19166, but still keep getting the message *Failed to install* . I don't know what to do now. I called phone support and they sent me here! Can anyone guide me?? Thanks!!

First let's try to see if Flash Player is correctly installed.
When you go to this site http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - can you see the Flash animation? What version of Flash Player does it show?
Also, what version of Internet Explorer are you using?

To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
Connect your iDevice to your PC.
Launch iTunes,
Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.

Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
The others are on my daughters account.
I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up.
