IPod 4th Gen iOS 4.3.3 wont update to iOS 5.1.1 (Not enough access privileges)

Today. I thought that i should update my iPod as my iPod was beginning to become obsolete.
So, i went to update, agreed to all of the agreements and stuff like that, and then a error message popped up.
It said, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "<my iPod's name>'s iPod". You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Why? It's my iPod?! I should have all of the privileges to it anyway!
Im running a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro on iTunes 10.6.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3
HELP!

What are you/the iPod doing during those hours?
How many hours?
An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

Am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen. i get this message: not enough access privileges."

i am trying to sync my ipod nano 7th gen with my music on the cloud, via a desktop PC.
I have successfully done this in the past.
now I am getting a series of messages: "not enough access privileges"
have reset the nano and also downloaded latest iTunes software.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem, so I was excited to see the link above. But when I click on it, it redirects me to the nike.com main website (I'm assuming Nike redid their website since the above link was posted). Could you please point me to that article somewhere else or tell me how you fixed your problem?
My exact problem is this: I was running until recently with my iPod Nano 6th gen and the Nike+ sensor kit (sensor that goes in the Nike+ shoe plus receiver that goes in the iPod Nano). When I would sync my Nano with iTunes (I would have the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option checked), all was well with this set-up as far as syncing my stuff to the Nike+ website goes.
I recently realized that for the iPod Nano 6th generation, the sensor/receiver combo is not required anymore. So I ran two runs without the receiver. I kept the sensor in the shoe though as nowadays I mostly run with my recently purchased Nike+ Sport GPS watch and I like to have the sensor in the shoe in case the GPS signal gets lost at some point during a run. Anyway, those two runs that I ran without the receiver won't sync to my nikeplus account. I can see them in my iPod Nano's history and I can see one of them (the latest one) on the Nike + iPod tab of iTunes when I sync my Nano. The difference though is that on iTunes this latest run appears under a "Sensor 1" selection, whereas all my previous runs with both the sensor and receiver would be under "Nike + Sensor" selection. Within the "Nike + Sensor" selection, under nikeplus.com, there's the "Automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com" option and below it a Login ID that shows my Nike+ website log-in info. Within the "Sensor 1" selection, the Login ID is missing. I've tried renaming "Sensor 1" to something else but it didn't make the Login ID appear.
Thank you for reading this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Dimitris.

Emoji Catastrophy (iPod 4th Gen iOs 6.1.3)

Emojis are pretty cool...except when it is the reason why nearly all my games and apps are crashing. I've never had this problem until the end of August. At first, it wasn't a big deal as emojis slowed down my iPod a little bit. I've realized that emojis have been leading me to problems because everythime someone types an emoji on Clash of Clan, I can't log on until the emoji is removed from the chat. This applies to games I own such as Battle Camp, Youtube, Safari, and all my other apps I own. Now this has became a problem as apps are less resistant to crashing and my iPod can even freeze! I've reset the keyboard to factory settings many times (and this was the way that it was fixing everyone else's problems). It only used to work for a few minutes but now it doesn't affect anything. I want to have a solution so I don't have to deal with crashing and freezing so often. Is there a way to fix this permenantly?

Fathers iPod 4th gen unexpectedly shut off and wont charge...

My father a few minutes ago encountered a problem were he was watching a movie and his iPod shut and turned black after it has been charging for about two hours on his computer. I now won't charge nor turn on after I prees the on/home button for a restart. What should we do? Also we purchased this during Christmas.

I read up on some warranty info apple provides, and they warrant that batteries are not replaceable for free unless it's a factory flaw. They get you with the 90-day warranty that doesn't help at all because they always find some way to make it your fault. So, I'm guessing to just bring it back to an Apple store or the place of purchase. For my father it's Best Buy. I'm really surprised this has happened to my fathers iPod. I have an iPhone and I haven't had any problems at all.

My Ipod 4th gen stopped charging after 5.1 Update...HELP?

After the 5.1 update, as soon as my ipod died, it has not started charging again, I have tried different cords, wall chargers, computers, you name it. I was looking at some answers before and it said to restart, hard reset and charge, but mine wont work.
Ive tried shutting it down, connecting and turning on
Factory reset (twice)
Holding home button and on/off button to reset
Just simply plugging it in.
Turning off wifi and plugging in charger.
Please help. If anyone knows please help with what you can.
Thanks !~Bubbles.

Ipod is now dead, anyone know where i can get my updates manually to see if i can do it that way?

Spotify on iPod 4th gen - car connectivity problem

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong place: (The low down) iPod 4th Gen - iOS (6.1.6) When connecting via USB to 2013 Vauxhall Astra, the head unit displays song track / artist / how long the song has been playing for etc. Problem: I am unable to change tracks (go back or forward) using the car controls. (on the steering wheel or the dash board) I have got the latest version of Spotify and iOS available for the 4th gen iPod. As it is an iPod with WiFi connectivity only, I am playing songs that have been downloaded on the device. the Apple iTunes player works perfectly with the car controls and this is the only reason why I have bought Spotify premium as I wanted to downloaded songs to listen offline and as I spend a majority of time the car, this is very important to me. Has anyone experienced similar issues / know of any past solutions?

I havent come across the vehicle specific idea yet, but it's curious, what makes it different from vehicle to vehicle? As for the iPod idea, I went out and got a brand new iPod Touch 5, and its the same thing. For some reason, the controls will only change tracks in iTunes, and not Spotify. Im thinking that its only because the ipod/spotify app doesnt know how to read the instructions for the car itself.The most infuriating thing is, this used to work, then they upgraded the app in 2013, and something went haywire. I'm considering trying out the app, Music Control Plus, but I'm seeing that it might only be available on a jailbroken iPod, so that might take a bit to try out. Ill let you know how it goes!

IPod 4th Gen problem with MMJ

Can anyone help me out, i am trying to connect my iPod 4th Gen with MMJ ver. 9. Unfortuantly the old plugin does not work.
I have always been a great Apple fan but i find it hard to believe that Apple would sacrifice is customers happiness with it's race to win the competition between iTunes for Windows and Musicmatch Jukebox.
iTunes is a great program but it's it is severally lacking in regards to it's "Smart Playlist" which is a very very small compare-sent to the "AutoDJ" function in MMJ.
Can anyone let me know if there is a plugin out there that would connect both together easily. I currently have to use Anapod Explorer to connect my iPod to MMJ.

Hi Blue Ocean Girl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the sleep/wake button is not working on your iPod nano, I suggest trying to restore it using iTunes. If the button still doesn't work after restoring, then you have isolated the problem to the iPod hardware itself.
See this article for the steps to restore an iPod:
