IPod Cannot be updated or mounted with ipod updater or itunes

Every time i try to update my ipod on itunes i either get "The iPod "Tdunks iPod" cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read from or written to." or i will get "The iPod "Tdunks iPod" cannot be updated. Required file not found." When i try to use ipod updater i get " Can't mount iPod" I have an ipod nano 2gb black version and am runnign windows xp with the newest itunes and ipod updater.

try this, change the drive letter of the ipod this can sometimes solve your issue change it to "M" or something like that this is how to change it, Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.

  • Ipod "cannot read or write to___'s Ipod"

    Hey, I'm getting a very frustrating error... and was wondering what on earth it means... and why I can't use any more than 2.89 Gigs of my 60 gig ipod...
    after trying to place more on it... pretty much of anything... it says that it can't read or write to <my ipod's name> and then there's an elipses
    like.. I'm trying to get a digital life videocast onto it and obviously it isn't working.
    very frustrating
    and I'v also got a problem of it quite often saying that all my songs are movies... and then making my movies not work
    after a couple of minutes of screwing around on the computer I can make it work again... so I must be doing something right
    I'm not in a huge rush... considering I got my Ipod for free...
    need any more info, obviously you'll ask
    thanks in advance

    I am still having trouble updating my ipod click wheel 40gb and my nano ipod also my brothers nano ipod which he connected to my 17"powerbook! only to have the same problems.
    When updating the ipods they all manage to update a few songs then they seem to stop updating on any song then I get this meassage.
    The error message reads (Attempting to copy to the disk "my ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to) so after that I looked at the last song that was updated to my ipod,then I looked at the song that was straight after the one the got stuck, I then deleted the song after the last updated song from my itunes library and updated again, my ipod then proceeded to update some more songs, then it stopped again and I got the error message again, if I repeat this process of finding and deleting these songs it sort of works but this is all so wrong!!!! So after getting this message with three different ipods surely this problem lies with the computer NOT the ipods!
    Can anyone please please help.

  • Manually and quickly updating smart playlists with 'Live Updating' off?

    Hi,
    I have a quite large music library (13,000 songs) and use a multitude of nested smart playlists that change often because I don't want to listen to the same song every day and I want to listen to good songs more often than bad songs. I'm also splitting up by genre, because not all my friends appreciate all of my musical tastes, and I myself am not always in the mood for every genre.
    The consequence of this is that from time to time, iTunes stutters when playing a new song, presumably because it's updating all the smart playlists when the previous song ended.
    Now, I had hoped that turning 'Live Updating' off would cause iTunes to update the smart playlists at startup instead of updating continuously. However, it turns out that though the performance improved dramatically, turning off 'Live Updating' caused the smart playlists to never update. Obviously I don't want that, since that means all my smart playlists are static.
    Is there a way to have both good performance and easy updating of the playlists? There are a bit too many playlists to manually update very day by forcing iTunes to update the playlist.
    An 'Update all smart playlists now' button or a 'Update all smart playlists at startup' feature would be nice...
    Any hints, tips, help, suggestions?
    Thank you so much.

    Using the SDK, you (well, I) would do something like this:
    1. Get a list of all the playlists in the iTunes Library.
    2. For each playlist, test if playlist is a Smart playlist (Playlist->Smart() returns a boolean)
    2a. If it is a smart playlist, select it by setting a property value for the BrowserWindow object (basically BrowserWindow->SelectedPlaylist(playlist object)) (for example perl code, see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/1248563d 743795d8/be1a88fc6eeab0e4?lnk=gst&q=itunesperlselectedplaylist&rnum=1#be1a88fc6eeab0e4)
    2b. Using keystrokes (Alt-F,G), select "File..Get Info". Then keystroke Alt-U to toggle live updating, then Enter to click OK.
    2c. Repeat above, which should toggle live updating off again. (unfortunately there is no way to be sure whether the starting state was off or on -- I'm assuming it will always be off)

  • Update Profile 350 with GRIR Update 'MM Goods Receipt'

    Hi All,
    I am using BCS functionality for Fund Management. FM Area is assigned with standard update profile '350'.
    I wanted to update budget at the time of Goods Receipt. Therefore I changed the setting by selecting 'MM goods Receipt' & deselected 'MM Invoice Receipt'.
    When I change system is giving me warning message as below:
    *Customizing MM goods receipt and payment selection is not allowed
        Message no. FI170
    Diagnosis
        If you want to work on a payment basis with the Payment Selection
        program and have a selected an update profile accordingly, the
        redemption of the purchase order commitment cannot take place  at the
        time of goods receipt.
    Procedure
        Check the settings on the update profile and on the GR/IR update in the
        Customizing of Funds Management Government.
        If you want to work on a payment basis, you must select a corresponding
        update profile and choose MM-Invoice receipt for the GR/IR update.
        If you choose an update profile, with which you are working on an
        invoice basis, you can also choose MM-goods receipt for the GR/IR
        update.*
    Please confirm whether can I make these changes as it is an warning message. If yes, then what would be the Repercussions.
    Regards
    Manish

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    See, I can also select MM-Goods Receipt. Just wanted to know what are the issues I may face by changing standard settings  considering I am using commitment budgets.
    Regards

  • I updated my iPhone with latest update.  I was asked if I wanted to communicate with iCloud for all my devices.  I chose yes.  I than am told I need to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email for apple to verify

    I updated both my iPad and iPhone with latest update.  Love it!  However, I wanted to use the find iPhone using iCloud feature.  From the beginning of update it kept prompting me to verify my account when I wanted to use iCloud ???  Apple kept telling me to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email from them.   And I'm not talking about verifying by my alternate email which I was successful at.

    Blue
    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

    Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
    I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
    using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
    with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

    You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
    Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

  • Can't Install Security Update 2007-009 With Software Update

    I tried to install Security Update 2007-009 on a 10.5.1 G4 system, but the installation fails with an "unknown error". Here are the details:
    1) Software Update downloads the file and ask to Restart
    2) Get to the blue screen
    3) See these messages "Preparing target volume" and "Configuring installation"
    4) Get this error message:
    The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
    The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    5) Restart
    I then deleted the "Security Update 2007-009" folder from Library->Updates and tried the update again, but got the same error.
    Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I installed Security Update 2007-009 via Software Update and received the following error:
    "Security Update 2007-009 can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpd2007-009 package."

    Regarless, I downloaded the update directly from Apple Support located here:

    And 2007-009 installation complete without a hitch. I have no idea what is going on with the permissions (any recommendations) but I have not found any other problems since this update was installed.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do you update smart playlists with live update turned off?

    If I create a smart playlist in itunes and deselect live updating then how exactly does the smart playlist load up?
    The reason I ask is that started setting up Smart Playlists for all of the artists on my computer and they're all set to live update which is consequently slowing down my itunes.  I realize that I may not necessarily need that. My question is though...how exactly would I go about manually updating a smart playlist that has live updating turned off?

    Well, the problem is that I have smart playlists for every artist in my library (which is literally hundreds).  With every live update turned on, every time I edit tags for a new single or something it'll scan all the smart playlists for matches.  The reason I'd like to have smart playlists instead of regular playlists is that I tend to add a lot of singles, and, especially in the hip hop genre, they tend to have a lot of guest appearances so I'd like the smart playlists to do tehir job.....I'd just prefer to not have it set to live update so I can avoid delays during tagging.
    Apparently this is a known side efffect of having many smart playlists in your itunes.  I realize my way of working with them might be slightly unconventional in comparison to how they are typically used but it's great for me.  If I could leave live update on without any performance degregation then I would but it seems I have to pick.
    I read somewhere that if you shut down itunes and restart that it'll refresh all your smart playlists (if live update is turned off).

  • "Ipod software is too old" error with ipod nano

    I am having a big problem with my ipod nano. I've been working on it for a week and still have not been able to fix it. I can sync my ipod nano to my mac g4 (running OS X 10.3.9) however in the ipod settings it won't show the version of ipod software and the click buttons to restore the ipod or update it are grayed out. When I connect the ipod I get an error message "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to your ipod because your ipod software is too old. Go to Summary tab in ipod preferences and update to get the latest software update."
    As mentoined, when I do that the update is not available. I have reset the ipod multiple times, restored it, reformatted the disk etc. With the ipod blank, I discovered it does NOT give this error when I connect it to an older imac g3 (go figure) and that it correctly shows the ipod system information and allows me to update it or restore it from itunes (7.0.2). If I then plug the ipod into the G4 it gives the same error message.
    The fact that it works and syncs fine with another mac leads me to believe that it's not the ipod, but my system software on the G4 that is corrupted- there must be a settings file that is bad, I just don't know which one it is. Help!!

    Is it possible that you have part of an old iTunes still installed on your computer? If so, take a look at the info I pasted below from the following article:Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
    It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
    Double-click your hard disk.
    Double-click the Applications folder.
    Double-click the iTunes icon.
    If you notice another copy of iTunes in the Dock after following these steps, here's a way to take care of that:
    Quit iTunes.
    Drag the iTunes icon out of the Dock.
    Drag the iTunes icon from the Applications folder to the Dock.
