Ipod / Itunes Stopping during update or restore.

Whenever I tried to update / sync my ipod it would get a certain distance in and then just freeze. The progress bar would just stop where it was and the ipod says do not disconnect. I would either have to disconnect it or shut down the computer. After a while of trying to get it to update over and over, I decided to try restoring it. It just stops. It says it is still doing something but the progress bar stops. After it stopped during the restore and i had to unplug it, every time i turn it on, it tells me it needs to be restored, but the same thing happens
I'm using a 5G 30gb ipod with a macbook pro
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Rob

first of all make sure that the battery is completely charged
toggle the hold switch for atleast 6 times.
try plugging the shuffle in different usb port
go ahead open up >>My Computer >>Control Panel >>Add/Remove Programs >> delete all previous updaters even ipod for windows
download the latest updater 2006-06-28 from apple.com
then restore it or update it.............don't worry u won't loose your songs they are safe in itunes

My IPOD was corrupted during updating ITUNES.

My IPOD was corrupted during updating ITUNES. Now all I get on the screen is USB up arrow ITUNES. What can I do?

If not successful try the remaining actions of:
- 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.

I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iPod Shuffle won't update or restore.

My iPod Shuffle won't update or restore when I put my iPod in it says iPod Service Error or Can't Mount iPod. Can someone please help me?

The same thing happened to me, I called Apple (Is your Ipod still have the free 90 days free phone call?) they told me it was my battery. They said they think I should buy a new one. I did not. I didn't think it is really my battery. Are you connections clean? Have you tried different USB hubs? I've heard the USB's in the back tend to give off more power.
Hope this helps.

My hp support assistance wont run. it keeps stopping during updates and when deleting the temporary

My hp support assistance wont run. It keeps stopping during updates and when deleting the temporary internet files. So it never finishes the process.. help

The failure to remove the Temporary Files could just be due to having your internet connection active during the removal process. For most folks, the amount of data in this directory is minimal. If you want / need to remove the files, you could close your browser(s), make sure your Internet music and TV connections are closed, and then try removing the files manually:
Path to Folder:
C:\Users\--YourAccountNameHere--\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Warning:
Do NOT remove the "Temporary Internet Folder" itself. Go "inside" the folder before removing anything.

ITunes stops during playback and won't start until I restart the computer

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just reformated my computer and placed all the updates and programs back onto my computer. I had iTunes on my computer before and I reinstalled it then upgraded it to version 7.3.2.6. Now I've been reintroducing music back into the library on a folder by folder method (drag and drop). Anyway, during review of the songs I will get a random issue where the iTunes just stops during playback. I have shut down the program and restarted it. I've also shut down the following programs at different times to see if it would help:
iPodService, ITunes.exe (the program), iTunesHelper, and even taskmgr.exe. Nothing seems to help. When I restart the program I click on play (any song or playlist) and nothing happens. The only thing that I have found to help is rebooting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
I've check the event logs and nothing is showing in there and other programs are working without an issues.
Please help!

Any suggestions on what this can be?
A dead battery. Buy a new one.

IPhone crashes during updates requiring restore & going over capacity

During the last two update 7.0.3 and 7.0.4 my phone failed mid update requiring a restore. This is a major headache. I am using an iPhone 4S and really don't have the time to keep having to restore the phone which takes a looooong time.
Moreover with the 7.0.4 update the phone mysteriously went from 1GB of space free to 500mb overcapacity.
Since I use my phone near capacity this is a real frustration for me.
Usually during restores if anything I find that the software seems to compact the space used when the apps are reloaded.
Not this time.
What happened?

I finally rid the error (Windows Firewall was blocking iTunes).
I did the restore but I'm still getting weird capacity ratings. They are constantly changing too.
Now it says it's not over capacity, but I have 0.36gb to spare - except it won't upload all of my songs and it's stuck at 3600 songs. When my library was 5700 songs.
Then after that, it said that everything was uploaded and I had 14gb to spare, which changes to 13gb to spare depending on when I connect it to my iPhone. (But again, not all of my stuff is uploaded).
So I know there's definitely a problem here, because the over capacity is not consistent.

Ipod touch won't update or restore

My ipod touch will not let me update to the most current software or even restore my ipod to factory settings. It will let me download, but when it is done and ready to install I get a message "There was a problem downloading the ipod software. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Does anyone know what this means? I never seemed to have a problem until I downloaded that January update a few months ago.
I even tried reinstalling itunes but that did not help. Any help or suggestions are appreciated

Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring.

15gb ipod + iTunes 6.02+ Updater = doesn't work

I have tried all 5 suggestions from apple for my ipod and it just doesn't work. I connected my ipod with the firewire like always it turns on, but doesn't show up on my itunes nor does it connect to the updater. I'm at my wits end. I still have room for approximately 1500 songs so I don't want to go get a new one, but, i'm reading abot so many problems with the new version of itunes ans the updater that i'm beginning to wonder. I just want to be able to listen to the albumd I downloaded this weekend whilst at work. Can someone help me before I pull my hair out? And yes, I work just 4 1/2 blocks from the apple store.

Hi
Try to format your iPod, then reconnect it with your computer, hope your iTunes 7 recognizes it.
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

My 3gs screen locked on itunes logo during update of itunes after error 1602.

My phone didn't back up properly (it said the backup couldn't be saved on the computer) but I tried to update the OS to 5.1.1 anyway via itunes. During the backup, I got an error 1602. itunes no longer recognized that a phone was connected and my iphone screen now shows an itunes logo along with an arrow and usb connector. I have tried to reboot the phone using all of the suggestions online but it will not reboot and remains unresponsive. It is NOT jailbroken. Help!

Problem resolved! I went to the apple store and they took one look at it and said that the phone was disabled and that they couldn't do anything for me. They offered to sell me a new one at a low price to replace it. He didn't try to hook it to my laptop at all (although I tried everything I found on like both hooked to the laptop and unhooked). Now I just have to figure out how to hook it to itunes and not corrupt this phone too

Apple TV stop during update

Hello
I have started to update our Apple TV but rapidly it has stopped! Since this time it has been blocked!

Explain "stops". Updating is in two stages. Stage one is downloading the update. Stage two is loading the update to the ATV. During the update and loading steps the ATV will blank out for up to 15-20 seconds and the screen will be blank or even state "no signal". This is normal. I don't know why Apple updates to ATV works like this since one feels that the update has quit or has been dropped out.
Just wait until the menu appears which signals the end of the update (sometimes 15 minutes). Even the menu will not respond for several minutes when it first appears.
Don't know why ATV updates act like this. This has been normal ever since ATV came out. Guess it's too hard to fix.

Itunes won't update or restore my iPod

I'm trying to get my ipod to update to iOS 4.3.5 but for some reason it won't let me because it says my network connection is messed up even though I have a full connection. Can I just download it off the website?

ali, if you reset the warnings on the ipod and try another restore/update, do you get some kind of error message?
Resetting iPod warnings
if so, what does the message say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
