I just got a new video iPod for my son's birthday. We installed it and then upgraded to iTunes 7.0. Now, we can't update the iPod. Keep getting the message "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet". Well, we ARE connected. We can access the iTunes Music Store just fine and download anything else from the internet. We've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting, taking off internet filters ... all for naught. HELP!

My ipod is not recognised since installing the latest Itunes update. Why is this?

Downloading the latest version of Itunes yesterday and have not been able to sync my ipod since then. An error message keeps coming up about the device not being recognised. Have gone over all of the support pages to solve this but have got nowhere. Wondering has anyone else had issues like this since yesterday and being able to sove this?

Hi CRONIN35,
We've an article (linked below) that serves as a good starting point for getting your computer and iTunes to properly recognize your iPod.

Contact Whatsapp for support.
There is no logical expectation for Whatsapp to be listed under location services or for that to have any affect on what the app can access.

The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to

"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to"
"The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred. (-50)"
I have been dealing with this ever since I installed iTunes 7. I had been getting this message with my previous version, but at least the files would load onto the iPod once I deleted the files in the library and reloaded them. Now, nothing works.
I attempted to restore the iPod, but guess what? I got this message every time:
"The iPod "IPOD" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"
When I checked drive E on the Device Manager on My Computer, it said the device was working fine.
Desperate to fix the problem, I began searching online for other solutions when I stumbled upon someone mentioning the option to format the iPod with fat32, suggesting that as a way to solve the problem, so I did so. After that, nothing has worked. The device manager now says that there are no drivers for drive E and iTunes won't let me restore the iPod.
I'm plumb out of ideas. What's left to do? I'm not rich enough to just say, "Oh well! La dee da! Let me go buy another iPod shuffle." Is there any way to fix this?

I finally reinstalled iTunes and my 2G Shuffle on my another station (PC portable + Windows XP) and that functions without trouble.
As I followed exactly the same procedure of installation, it's difficult to me to explain differences.
For each pc :
- No iPod or iTunes previously installed before this one
- All the rights (administrator)
Differences :
- The OS (Windows XP and Windows XP Pro)
- A lot of USB peripherics declared on my first PC.
I tend to think that the problem comes from the detection or the declaration of the port usb, but I'm not at all an expert.
So my trouble is solved, but not with a satisfactory solution.

ITunes 7 - iPod cannot be updated. The requied file is in use.

I updated to iTunes 7, and now when I play songs off of my 2nd generation FW iPod for Mac, I keep getting this message popping up:
The iPod "Chad Armstrong's iPod" cannot be updated. The required file is in use.
iTunes 6 never did this. After seeing these problems, I'm not sure if I want to update my other computers to iTunes 7.
Earlier in the year an iPod update messed up my iPod and my computer couldn't recognize my iPod, and I didn't want to try a factory reset, since that would have erased my music.
I ended up using DiskWarrior to rebuild my iPod, and it fixed the problem I had and iTunes could recognize my iPod again! I don't know if that matters or not, but that is the history of my iPod.
I have iPod software version 1.5.
But is there a way to stop iTunes 7 from trying to 'update' my iPod? This seems to happen generally at the beginning of a song playing that the error pops up.

For the time being, I just reverted back to iTunes 6.0.5, and things are working great again, even with the QuickTime 7.1.3 update.
I went to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605formac.html and downloaded iTunes 6. I had to go into the installer package and just install the iTunes package, and I also removed a few files, such as the old Library in my Music folder, the iTunes preference file, and the iTunes library receipt. I found some further details on moving back to iTunes 6 here:

Perhaps when iTunes 7.0.1 comes out, it might be worth a look to see if my iPod problems have been fixed, but I'm probably not going to rush to it.

Since installing the latest update, whenever I try to play purchased videos, they open in the separate video window and immediately causes iTunes to crash and close.

Ever since installing the latest iTunes 10.4 update, I've been having trouble playing purchsased videos. When I try to play them, they open in an unseen new window and after a couple of seconds of audio, iTunes crashes and has to close. There isn't something wrong with the videos as they play fine on my iPod and I have played most of them before, but they just won't play in iTunes suddenly.
Can anyone help?

The iPod "Mitchell's iPod" cannot be updated

I had a 60Gb iPod photo for a couple of years. Once my iTunes music library got over 60Gb I had continuous problems syncing but I also increasingly got the sad icon so I think it was an underlying iPod hardware problem.
So I bought a new iPod 80Gb 5th Gen. I have iTunes 7.1 loaded on a Windows XP machine. When I first connected the iPod it loaded about 5 Gb before I got an error message <<The iPod "Mitchell's iPod" cannot be update. The required file cannot be found>>.
Over the course of 2 whole days I would load iTunes plug in the iPod, it would sync some songs then eventually fail with the above error message.... then I would repeat the same exercise. I am now up to 31Gb but now it fails immediately so I cannot add any more songs.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone. This is a brand new iPod, fresh out of the box, fully charged.
thanks, Mitchell

Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Connected iPod and it started syncing again. Went up from 37.91Gb to 44.14Gb on iPod then failed again with message <<Attempting to copy to the disk "MITCHELL's" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to>>

The iPod "iPod" cannot be updated.The required file cannot be found.(again)

tTunes recognizes my iPod and I can download the SONGS onto my iPod, but it gives me that message="The iPod 'iPod' cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found." and my videos and photos can't get onto my iPod.

I have the same problem.
I can update songs just fine.
Ive restored and re-installed ipod and ipod software like a maniac.
None of those work.
D:
I'm thinking theres somthing wrong with iTunes creating a new Ipod Cache folder.....
Or it's a system error that happens when any software/hardware is updates (auto or not) or is changed in any form or way!
(installed, un-istalled or the like)
It prolly needs to fixed manualy.
(not by reinstalling or update-dating ipod software)
If some one could tell me what to do i'll be more than happy to do it.

The iPod "name of my iPod" cannot be updated". The required folder cannot..

I should know how much i'm syncing!!! anyone know how to help?
Maybe you do, but iTunes obviously has different ideas - you can see that for yourself. And since iTunes is making the decisions...
So - you need to work out which part of your Library has all this extra content that it's trying to Sync.
According to the graphic we can see, your iPod currently has 8.1GB of Music on it. If you look in your iTunes/Library/Music, at the bottom of the screen it shows how much music is in your Library. Is it the same?
Have you by any chance, added another sub-folder into the photos folder that you're using to Sync with your iPod?
If neither of those things, what about the books?
If not - perhaps there is a clue in the number of Apps that appear to have outstanding updates. I can't think why that should be the cause of the problem, but 152 Apps requiring an update does seem rather a lot. Perhaps that's upsetting the applecart.

The iPod cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be found

I am gettin an annoying message that "the required disc cannot be found" and am not sure how to resolve. The iPod shuffle seems to updat with songs successfully. I also tries restoring for factory settings to perhaps start from scratch. I also tunred off all automatic updates in the settings to no avail.
Any ideas?

Try this; disable your virus protection. If this works for you, you can also thank Apple Tech Support.
I'm unsure if this is an iPod problem or an iTunes
problem, so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
I've been getting this error message repeatedly since
I started using my 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle: "The iPod
cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be
found."
This worries me because it's the same error message I
started receiving just before my first-gen Shuffle
started doing the infamous "green light/amber light"
thing. This is not exclusive to my computer (Mac mini
1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo with OS 10.4.8); a family
member uses an iMac (700 MHx PowerPC G3 with OS
10.3.9), and iTunes displays the same message with
her 2nd-gen Shuffle. Both computers have the latest
version of iTunes, and both iPods are up to date on
their software.
Other than this, there appears to be no immediate
effect of the fuctionality of iTunes or the iPods.

"The iPod cannot be updated. An unkown error occured. (-36)"

Hi, can someone help me with this? I've been browsing troubleshooter and topics for days and yet I can't figure out how to fix this one. This occured when I've got my computer reformatted and installed a new iTunes. I can't put anything on my iPod shuffle. The message "The iPod cannot be updated. An unkown error occured. (-36)" keeps on showing everytime I try to put songs on my iPod. I don't know what triggered this. Hope someone could shed some light. Thanks in advance!!

It is actually more simple than iTunes lets u believe.
If you just download an older version of iTunes, most likly the one u had before u updated ur computer, that should fix it and then you can update ur ipod and then get the newer version of iTunes.
Thats what i had to do when i got that exact same error just a few months ago.
If that dont work let me know.

Found out my problem.. i think.
Now for people who might have the same problem getting there ipod to snyc, then this is what i did, which made my ipod work and snyc properly.
After the error sign, i click restore all my ipod's info and data to defualt. Then when i asked me to snyc for the first time in the box... "snyc'ing either my music and or photo's" NOW, every time i did this, i clicked on snyc my music. but i since just now, if i uncheck the "snyc my music", so nothing will be uploaded to the ipod, and manage my MUSIC my self. All i do now is drag my music playlists and it either updates the ipod, if the ipod already has a version of the play list. But thats just wiht my music. I can now snyc all my podcasts and photos using the Sync button.
Hope this is of help to SOME ONE!

HT1386 Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itune

Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
Thanks

Hi, jodie_0182.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Error: ipod cannot be updated - the required folder cannot be found

Just purchased a 30 gb ipod, and when connected to my itunes (currently version 7.1.08), gives me the error message that says, "so and so's ipod cannot be updated - the required folder cannot be found." after a bit of updating. The ipod then drops out of itunes, but not windows, for some time, only to return later and do the same thing over again. Any ideas?

i got the same problem as you, but it appeared only after i tried to sync the ipod using another user account in windows.
I have tried restoring the ipod, clearing out the itunes library and reloading it etc, all to no effect.
usually it would just hang there until i reset it, and after resetting, it would work for awhile, before it would hang again.
this is getting frustrating for me as I cant even listen to music on the go like I used to.
anyone has a better solution?
I've tried re-installing itunes too

Since installing the larest update, I lost all sounds/speaker. How do I resolve it?

Since installing the most recent update I have lost all sound from the speakers. Cannot adjust volume it stays muted. HOw do I resolve it?
