Ipod frozen at update

help ipod is frozen keeps coming up that i need to restore but when i try it comes up with server not avail at moment try again later

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Ipod frozen when updating

    I moved 500 cds from my emac (to free up some hard drive space) to an external hard drive. I changed my itunes preference setting in "advanced" to utilize the itunes library on the external hard drive. The library has been successfully "added" to the itunes program on the emac.
    When I try to update/sync my 40 gig clickwheel ipod, it freezes after updating any number of files (1489 the first try, 32 the second try, and 4409 the third.
    When it freezes, nothing works, even on the emac. Including force quitting itunes. I am forced to do a hard shut down which leaves my ipod frozen with the "do not disconnect" message. Restting it ususally works, but how am I going to ever get my music onto my ipod? Thanks for any help.

    Hello bandock,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried connecting the iPod Touch in *Recovery Mode* and then restoring it via iTunes? If not, see this article for more information on getting your iPod into *Recovery Mode*.

  • IPod Frozen after update

    After trying to update my iPod mini to 2005-09-06 I was told to plug my iPod into a wall outlet using my connector. I did that and although the iPod responds everytime it is plugged in by showing the apple logo it goes straight to a picture of plugging the iPod into a wall outlet and wont change from that. After awhile the screen just goes blank. I have tried reseting the iPod and have successfully seen the apple logo screen but every time I get to the same freeze point. I am wondering what I should do.

    Tracy,
    Under the normal process, your iPod mini will show the running bar, indicating that it is trying to complete the restore process. Try to do a restore again and plug it to the AC charge striaght away. You may need to do several attempts

  • Frozen iPod after iTunes update?

    Is your iPod frozen on the "Connect to iTunes" screen? Mine is too. Not really sure what's going on there, but I have a feeling it has to do with the recent upgrade. Think back to the big Zune crash of 2008 or whatever year it was. Zunes all over the world were going down thanks to a glitch in the system. Similar situation? Yeah, I think so.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore?
    You said you did an update. Update to iTunes? To iOS on iPod?
    Se:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    What do you mean?  You made need to force the iPod into recovery mode and try and restore it again via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Video iPod frozen after static electricity charge

    Was playing a movie on video iPod connected to TV when I touched the iPod and got a small static shock....the TV screen went white and the iPod is now frozen. Does not respond to connection to iTunes or AC charger; buttons do not work either. Plugged the cables back into iPod but to no avail.
    Am I out of luck? I do have the Apple Protection plan. Any suggestions at this point?
    thanks!

    I had virtually the same thing happen to me tonight. I was sorting laundry with my iPod on. I pulled a sheet out of the laundry basket, heard a few crackles in my earbuds and the music stopped. Pulled the iPod out and -- blank white screen. iTunes recognizes the iPod, but the update didn't help, and resetting hasn't helped, either. What did you end up doing?

    Problem solved. I tried resetting a couple more times and it finally worked. Seems to be fine now!

  • Ipod frozen  4th generation touch

    ipod frozen on start up screen when trying to update i tunes

    Redundant perhaps, but just to make it clear ... copied and pasted from the support article that likeabird referenced above...
    If you can't turn your iPhone or iPod touch on or off
    You may need to reset. Important: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone4 screen frozen in update status

    Whilst loading the current,IOS 7.1.2 update, i lost/left the wifi connexion. For several hours now, the screen has
    only displayed the update status,a single line extending no further than the distinct Apple logo. Is there anything
    that can be done??

    If you scroll down a bit, there is a sort of a solution on this website: update for 7.1.2 frozen iphone 4s
    There is a direct answer on this one: Frozen iPod 5 during update IOS 7.1.2
    There is also another direct answer but by an actual apple person on this one: My phone is frozen during the ios 7.1.2 update. What should I do?

  • IPOD cannot be update - 40 GB Click Wheel

Install goes fine but when I connect Ipod it begins to update from itunes but after about 9G or 2500 songs it says complete (I have over 7500 songs). When I go to update again I get the error message "The iPOD cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." Please help!

This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. please try to save the file elsewhere....the other message that i have been getting is "This ipod Neil's Ipod cannot be updated.

  • ERROR MESSAGE: The IPOD cannot be updated.

    Please help!! Have tried everything can think of including, resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling and restoring. ITunes automatically starts downloading when you connect but then only transfers the first 50 or so songs in the library, and then says update complete. When you ask it to then update the IPOD through file menu an error message comes up saying 'The IPOD cannot be updated, the disk could not be read from or written to.' There is no problem with the IPOD, because I have been able to update it via another PC, it just won't update via the laptop even though the ITunes has been set up on the laptop as the ITunes I want to use.

    To all concerned: There is a new Apple Support Document regarding this error:

    Maybe this helps.

  • When I update my nano ipod I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated.  The disk couldnot be read from or written to."   How can I overcome this error message.

    In the iTunes window, when I update my nano ipod, I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated.  The disk could not be read from or written to."   How can I overcome this error message.

    Hello there dilip77707,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
     'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Songs on the iPods "administrators iPod" cannot be updated because all of t

  • Songs on Owner's ipod cannot be updated because playlists no longer exist

    I recently uploaded new CDs into my itunes library. When I tried to sync it said that it could only sync an owner's selection. I agreed because I was in a hurry. Later I came back to delete some of the songs that I do not use and I get the message "Songs on Owner's ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist." I tried to delete some of the unused playlists and now my ipod is blank with not a single song on it. I want to get my playlists back and my music back.

    You will have to create a couple of new playlists to use to sync your iPod, then your iPod preferences will need to be change to sync on those specific playlists.
