IPod messed up by Latest iTunes/iPod update (10/30/2006)

I didn't think anything of updating to iTunes 7 a few days ago. I like the improvements, etc. Yesterday evening, when I connected my 5thGen iPod30G to my powerbook, iTunes asked me if I wanted to allow my iPod to use a NEW update. I conenct to the powerbook "every day and twice on sunday" so I am pretty sure this is a new iPod software release. Anyway, for some reason my iPod will not play anything. It behave normally as I disconnect it and nav to the particular track(s) I want to play. About two seconds after I touch Play or Select, the screen goes dark and, staying dark, I see the Apple on the screen that indicates a reset. This is not the Bar one waits for immediately after an update. That part of the upgrade procedure went normal. Anyone else, Anyone, Anyone... Buehler?

Hey EJM Jensen!
Have you tried restoring your iPod? -> Restoring an iPod
If that doesn't help, then you might want to try reinstalling your iPod's firmware. For more info, read here: iPod fails to update - Reinstalling iPod's firmware
I hope that does anything good for you.

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!

  • Just installed the latest iTunes software update and the extra images i had for my albums on iTunes have disappeared...Help?

    Just installed the latest iTunes software update (iOS 5.0.1) on my MacBook Pro, and the extra images i had placed on my album covers in the selected item box have disappeared, leaving just one image per track. Any ideas on how to restore would be most appreciated...

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

  • Ipod Update 1-10-2006 Causes Problems

    I did not have problems adding music to my iPod until I downloaded the iPod Update 1-10-2006. So I'm guessing that the the root of the problem. Also, I have been having trouble ejecting my iPod.
    Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    My XP control panel shows 'iPod for Windows 2006-01-10' is 53.58MB.
    Is it safe to REMOVE the program?

  • How do I find duplicate songs which the latest itunes libary update does not show?

    How do you find duplicate songs in itunes which the latest updated version of itunes does not show, where the older version did?

    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content.  It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

  • Why will the latest iTunes not update onto my computer. It makes Syncing my iPhone 3GS impossible...

    I have repeatedly attempted to update my phone over the last year, and iTunes on my computer will not allow it. I keep recieving a prompt that my iPhone is not accessible due to my computer not having the latest iTunes. I then do as I am prompted and go to itunes.com to upgrade the software. I then restart my computer and the new software doesn't take hold. Granted, I have a PC with Vista on it still. Can anyone help me? I am trying to save my Apps and music, and also hold out until the next iPhone after the 4S comes out.

    I have the same problem even before updating to IOS 6.1

  • Why won't my ipod classic 80gb no longer synch after latest itune version updates

    Why will my ipod classic 80 g ipod no longer synch after upgrading my itunes? I went from the very user freinly itunes from a few years back to the latest versions and have been having these problems.
    Doesn't synch at all.
    Synchs only partial playlists selected.

    I have the same problem with windows 7 and msy ipod classic will not sync...have no access to  thousands of songs and playlists..Help!!

  • How do I see if I have the latest itunes version update

    Where in itunes do i see if i have the latest version/update?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The easiest way would be to open Apple Software Update and see if it gives you an iTunes update. If so, install it. The most recent iTunes version is 11.1.3.
    Another option to check which iTunes version you are using is to open iTunes and go to Help menu (on the menu bar) > About iTunes, so you can see the iTunes version. If you do not see the menu bar, press Alt and S keys. If you are using an older version, you can download the most recent version from the Apple site > http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

    The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for AppleMobileDeviceSupport. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. what can i do to download software when the above message keeps popping up...not allowing me to download

    I had the same problem this weekend.  The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop.  When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that.  I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work.  Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up.  Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file. 
    Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window.  Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
    Goto start and this time just type update in the search window.  Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it.  It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud.  I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
    The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully.  I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes.  I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
    I hope this works.

  • HT1351 Music imported from  CDs will not synch to my iphone or ipad - even though it's ticked and set up correctly. Looking at other posts this seems ot have been an issue for ages. The latest itunes software update hasn't fixed it

    This has now been ongoing for over a month - the lastest software release hasn't fixed it.
    I can import music from CDs - the tracks are ticked for synching and all the associated rigmarole is correct.
    Problem is when I synch, apps go across but imported music doesn't. It just gets to step 5 - waiting for changes to be applied  - and then does nothing until it eventually finishes synching but no music has come across.
    Same issue on my iphone.
    I have looked at some solutions on forums but they seem complicated and I don't understand why apple haven't yet fixed this (or why you can't contact them). Seems a basic fundamental service that they are not supplying.
    Having spoken to people in the family, its seems I'm not laone with this problem (unless you have a mac......)

    I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
    Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

  • IPOD UPDATER FREEZES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm having exact same problem. No problems with iPod until downloading iTunes 5.0, now chaos. Followed instructions in other threads re: how to download Quicktime and iTunes separately, so at least my iTunes now works. But in trying to connect iPod to iTunes through USB, message pops up saying "device not recognized" and computer doesn't recognize iPod. Able to fix this by putting iPod in Disk Mode, so now iPod appears in Windows Explorer (but still not in iTunes). At this point I try to use the Updater, and it freezes. Also tried right clicking on the iPod in Windows Explorer, but nothing happens and Windows Explorer then freezes. Anyone out there able to offer solution? Needless to say, very frustrating, and all apparently caused by faulty iTunes 5.0 download.

  • Can not burn CD's with the latest iTunes update

    I accepted the latest iTunes software update and I am now using iTunes 10.5.1.  When I go to burn a Disc, my computer (not just iTunes freezes).  I tried running the diagnostic and it freezes when I select my CD/DVD Drive.  I spoke to a senior tech person at Apple and they indicated that the latest version of iTunes conflicted with GEAR drivers that were installed with other CD burning softwares (I have not downloaded anything new and the GEAR Drivers never conflicted with ITunes b/4 this last update).
    I am running windows 7 on a brand new HP Slimline Pavillion.  I checked with HP and there are no firmware updates for my computer  (nor Optical).
    Will at Apple sent me this link:
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=GEAR_Powered_Products
    I followed the process, even though it involves going into the registry and deleted the 32 and 64 bit GEAR Driver.  It did not solve the issue!!
    Is anyone else having this problem?  HELP?!?!?!?!? AL

  • Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?

    since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?

    As i've posted in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
    I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
    Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
    My big question here is :
    why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
    I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
