  • IPod Finally Updates to 1.2...

    Good grief! What a horrible experience! My son and I both have iPod 5G 30's. He has iTunes installed on an eMachines running XPSP2. Last night he tried to install iTunes7. Every time we tried to install it, it would throw an error msg that it couldn't install iTunes because QuickTime wasn't installed. After messing around with, deleting iTunes and QuickTime and manually deleting the program files, and deleting registry entries and downloading the iTunes installer a couple of times... QT and iTunes installed. The last iTunes installer that was downloaded was 2k different in size than the first one.
    Then the fun updating the iPod started. As many others here have indicated, he was getting the unending "Do not disconnect" msg. Tried the reset thing some suggested. Tried the disconnect and reconnect some suggested. Got to the point where the iPod was showing 1.2 for the system, but iTunes wasn't seeing it. Restarted the computer, which took an unusually long time to get to the desktop, and, voila! iTunes saw the iPod and things appear to be working OK.
    But gawd... I sure am reluctant to put iTunes7 and 1.2 on my system after spending close to 3 hours messing around to get his setup to work. And considering the number of others who are also experiencing problems... hmmm... I mean, I understand that most people that are posting here are doing so because they're having problems and there are folks out there that aren't having problems but... this sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
    Additionally, to get games to work on his iPod, he had to authorize his computer... which was already authorized in iTunes6. I don't think it's acceptable for Apple to burn an authorization because one installs a new version of iTunes. I'd love to know if that is in the software license.
    To all those who have not updated to iTunes7 or iPod system 1.2... GOOD LUCK! Plan to spend some time trying to get it to work. To those who update successfully on the first try; congratulations, you dodged a bullet. To those who run into problems; I feel your pain.
    Thanks,

    Well... here's an interesting development...
    Having not much to do, and throwing caution to the wind, I decided to try the update on my system.
    Completely opposite of my son's and my experience updating his system.
    iTunes7 installed without a hitch.
    iPod firmware 1.2 installed without a hitch.
    Whole thing took like 5 minutes.
    I know they're two different systems, but we keep our systems pretty clean; no 3rd party sound doo-hickeys or stuff like that. Pretty vanilla.
    I guess all I can say is that I sure am glad I didn't have to go through the crap we went through on his system to get iT7 and 1.2 working on my system! LOL
    Thanks,

  • Trying to set up brand new iPod shuffle (4th gen) in iTunes, but it says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."

    I just bought a 4th generation iPod shuffle from the store.  At the end of the iPod set-up in iTunes, whenever I click "done" a message pops up that says, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted."

    Hello, curieuse. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when receiving this error.

  • Disappearing Songs on iPod - Thank you Apple!

    4000 songs gone, about 1 months of work ripping my CD Lib lost. Thank you Apple Engineers!
    Background:
    When I Rip a CD, I store temporaly the files on my PC HD, then I update the iTune Music List, then I synchronize the iPod. Afterward, I delete the file from my PC but keep the song names in the iTune libray list. They are flagged with an error "cannot locate the original file", but it has never been a problem, and so it is specified in the help on line.
    iTune 5.0.1 Upgrade:
    When I upgraded to 5.0.1, all the files on the Ipod with a file name in iTune Library that cannot be located on the PC HD, disappeared from the iPOD. I still have a 4000 songs list in iTune but no more files in the iPod. That is marvelous!

    I concur that you have identified a serious design flaw in the iPod / iTunes interface.
    I encountered a similar disaster when I moved to a new machine (windows). I installed iTunes, connected my fully loaded ipod with all my songs, ratings, playlists, etc. and proceeded to connect to the iPod. I didn't notice the small print in the connection dialog box that comes up to tell you that the libary in iTunes did not match that in the iPod, clicked yes and the system overwrote all of my iPod information with 'nothing'. Several months of organizing and rating songs were lost.
    Now, several months later, I have yet another disaster in the making. I have two profiles on my Windows machine (thanks to my local IT system afministrator), with 'My iTunes' library files created in both. For god knows what reason, both these files have been corrupted (e.g. lost my playlists, ratings, links to song folders and neither matches the configuration on my iPod!!!
    The system has no ability to upload the config and song information from my iPod to iTunes, and all iTunes does is threaten to over-write the iPod. This will once again wipe out all of my information.
    It seems to me that the Engineers at Apple need to change the linkage between iPod and iTunes giving the end-user more control to upload or download info from an iPod and to Merge the songs, lists, etc.

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?

  • I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

  • I need to update my iTunes and iPod touch,iPad and iPhone but they were set up with a hp laptop that i sold i tried to update my iTunes and apple devices but it tell's me if i update i will lose all media on my devices and to update with the original com

    Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
    With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
