Ipod firmware updating error/flashing lights/not working

i have an ipod 512 shuffle. i also have 2 PC's. PC 1 - XP OS - has itunes 6.0 (latest version.) after i updated the ipod software to 1.1.3 version the ipod would not work. pc 2 - also XP OS. has itunes 4.0 (which came on the install disk.) ipod works fine on this PC. it will update correctly and charges correctly. ipod does not work on pc # 1. i tried to uninstall itunes from pc 1 and reload from the install disk but there must have been left over entries in the system registry that i didn't delete, as the reinstall of itunes 4.0 did not solve the problem.
bottom line for anyone from apple that actually reads this - ipod shuffle 1.1.3 update (2005-11-17(?)) works fine with itunes verison 4.0, but if itunes is upgraded to 6.0 (or most current release) the ipod will no longer work. i am a software coder. it is apparent to me that the itunes version 6.0 has introduced a bug that is preventing ipod from working.
my adice to you all, if possible, DO NOT update to the latest itunes version. my pc # 2 with itunes 4.0 works fine with my ipod version 1.1.3, but pc #1 with itunes 6.0 does not work at all.
apple, any thoughts on this?

you can no longer download this version. if you purchased your ipod prior to july 2005 you should have version 4.0 on the install disk that came with your ipod. if you purchased it later in 2005 you most likely received 5.0 or 6.0 as your i-tunes version.

  • Chrome Plug-in update for Flash does not work

    I am a Mac OS X 10.5.8 user and I use Chrome as my standard browser. I updated the Flash Player to version 10.3.183.23 2 times now and it is still not working and showing me that I have an old version. Every time I try to update the Plug-in it installs it and then everything stays the same when I restart Chrome. Could you help me out here?

    Hi folks,
    I hope you guys know that Mac OS 10.5.x have been officially dropped to support by Apple(as OS vendor) and Google(as browser vendor) while ago. So this behavior sound intentional by Chrome as same behavior as recent Safari. I tried searching around and found this  post at Google site:

  • Flash light not working

    i have iphone 4 flash light is not working.....

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Firmware update for 6131 does not work

    I am trying to upgrade the firmware on a 6131. Following the instructions on the site leads me to navigate the following path: Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone updates > Download phone software.
    Bzzzzzz. No. 'Download phone software' is not an option. Only 'Current software details' and 'Install software update'. The latter option is dim, and selecting it returns a message: 'No software to install', obviously, because it has not downloaded it.
    So I try to push the software from Nokia's web site: http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,77073,00.html > Get Advanced Settings > Accept Terms > Start > model 6131 > Next > Nokia software (firmware) update over-the-air > Enter security code and my phone number > Order Settings
    The page claims it has sent me a text message, including the new software, but it never arrives. I tried with with other 'settings' from the same page several times, and the text messages did arrive just fine for those.
    Please help. Thank you,
    --Jimbo -
    P.S. In case you are wondering, the reason I am trying to update the firmware is that the status of the voicemail waiting indicator is never updated. I have seen at least a dozen posts about that issue, but never one with an answer attached. So this is my next step.

    Do you mean you're having a problem trying to download the update, install the update, after the update is installed trying to re-activate the phone? I assume you're getting this message on your PC, not the phone...? Or are you having problems with Internet connectivity on the phone itself? WiFi or 3G?
    If it's problems on the PC, try disabling all antivirus/firewall software and see if that takes care of it.

  • Iphone 4 flash light not working.but getting a click flash only once

    my iphone 4 with ios 6.0.1 led is not working even if i turn on in settings but it is working once if a picture is taken and is not working in videos eventhough it is turned on...
    and gps navigation is not proper..can u help me
    thanks in advance

    Sorry but I dont have a solution. I do however have a similar problem in that my microphone has stopped working since upgrading. Well at least it doesnt work when making calls, voice memos or skype calls. I have to speak directly into the mic for the person I am talking to, to hear me - and even then it is very feint. I dont think its a hardware problem as when I record video the sound it perfect. Although I have seen that some believe the video recording used the noise cancellation mic. But, I downloaded an app which is used to measure sound power which I confirmed that the bottom mic is working properly.
    So this post is to add my voice to your concern really.
    The worst part is, I did not save a SHSH blob to be able to downgrade to 5.1.1 so im kinda stuck.

  • Firmware update error - disk can not be read or written to

    Just wanted to post a solution for anyone who has this error in the future as I spent quite a few hours figuring this out and couldn't find any threads on it except this link...http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
    What solved this problem for me is formating the ipod from My Computer. Go to My Computer. Right click the drive Ipod appears in (E in my case). Go to format. After done go to Restore Ipod from the Ipod menu item and it should work this time without further error messages. Cheers.

    i just got a 30gig and was trying to load it with
    music and getting the same message. what finally
    worked was unhooking a usb hub and just hooking only
    the ipod and keyboard to the back of the pc. now i
    have to figure out how to get the rest of my usb
    equipment hooked back up so it won't interfer with
    the ipod.
    Try a powered USB hub...

  • IPod problem - firmware update error. Disk write error.

    I need your help! I’me just bought a new iPod 60 GB photo (with color display) but when I connected it for the first time to my PC (with Windows XP Home Edition SP 2) using USB 2.0 I got the message: ”iPod not readable. This iPod needs to be reformatted for use on your PC”. Of course I decided to do that. The system had launched iPod updater. It asked me if I wanted to update or restore iPod’s software however the operation “update” was inactive (grey). So I choosed “restore”. Then a new window appeared: “Firmware update error. Disk write error”. On the iPod’s display a normal menu was replaced by exclamation mark. I tried to reset iPod, updated iTunes and iPod’s updater to the newest version and… nothing. It still doesn’t work. A folder with „!” mark comes up. I try to restore once again and it says: „Firmware update error. Disk write error”.
    Please help! What should I do to solve my problem? I want to add that my iPod is properly recognized by the computer system.
    Unfortunately, it’s rather impossible to give back my iPod to the store. It was bought in the U.S.A. and I live in Poland.

    b “Firmware Update Failure” Possible Solution
    -- Disconnect the iPod
    -- Right click on "My Computer"
    -- Select "Manage"
    -- Select "Device Manager"
    -- Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
    -- Right click on "Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller"
    -- Click on "Disable"
    -- Click "OK" to accept changes
    Run the Updater software (Start==>Run==>iPod) and wait till it says to "Plug in an iPod to update it"
    Plug in the iPod and wait (for a long while). It takes awhile because you are now running at USB 1.1 speeds. When it finally shows up, do the "update" or "restore", which ever you were trying to do.
    You can try to re-enable the "Enhanced PCI TO USB Host controller" after you are done running the Updater software and try to copy your songs and pictures to the iPod. This may or may not work. If not, revert back to USB1.1.

  • Firmware update error in 2 minute old ipod

    Having just received a shiny new ipod back from apple service....i plug it in and it says it needs to be restored so i do!!
    Now all the restore program says is firm ware update error after a very short time and the ipod shows the folder icon
    Im seriously p*ssed off cos this has come straight from apple directly!!!
    Is this an ipod problem or has my computer got some form of ipod virus or anti ipod problem???
    Help Please I don't want to wait another 2 weeks
    Dave

    To save Mitch from alot of trouble trying to fix the error.
    Go into 'My Computer', Right Click on any blank spot, Hit Properies. Click on the Hardware Tab, click the device Manager button, scroll down to Universial Serial Bus Controllers, click the plus. Do Any of them say 2.0 or Enchanced, if not, the firmware failure might be related to USB 1.1 .
    If it does say Enchanced or 2.0 make sure the ipod is plugged into the back.
    Firmware Failure Diskwrite Error(maybe a Update in there), is a somewhat of a general error, Can be connection issue related to how its connected, or it could be a problem with the iPods hard drive.
    If still not working, time to test it on another PC(Or Mac) If you don't have one, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service.html
    Type in your Zip Code, It will list the closest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Providers.

  • Runtime error R6025 message after log on to Vista - Flash Card not working

    Hi
    I'm a newbie & would appreciate any advice.
    I am getting a runtime error message R6025 when I log on to Windows Vista.
    When I click out of the box I then get a message saying Toshiba Flash Card not working.
    I cancel that and my laptop is ok except I don't know if the flashcard is working or not because I don't know what it does.
    Sorry if I sound thick
    Thanks
    Neelie

    Hi
    I found this MS knowledge base article:
    +Description of the R6025 run-time error in Visual C++\+
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125749
    But I doubt this description would be useful for you or anyone here. It describes this error in Visual C++ and this is programming language.
    However, I think you should simply reinstall the Value Added Package which you could download firstly from the Toshiba European page.
    At first you have to remove the old Value Added Package from the system, then reboot the notebook and follow with new VAP installation.
    Bye

    I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
