Ipod Mini needs hwlp. Freezes and says needs updater software. Doesn't WORK

Hi All,
Ok, I went to update my IPOD MINI. I placed it in my dock and it erased all the songs on the IPOD. My iTunes still has all the sons. Everytime I try to get it so update, my iTunes freezes and I get a poop up box that says:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "IPOD". Use the iPOD software updater application to restore iPod factory settings."
I tried all this and it keeps happening. Can anyone please help me? Anything you could do would be a tremendous help!
Thanks in advance,
Tommy

FIrst go here and download/install the latest iPod updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once its installed on your PC, Open it up, THEN connect the Ipod to the PC, Hit restore, when its done if the Update button is not grayed out, hit it to update the iPod

    Is your iPad recognised by your computer's iTunes when you connect it to your computer ? Resetting a disabled device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If it's not recognised then do you have the latest iTunes version installed on your compute ?

  • Sometimes arch freezes and even CTRL+ALT+F* doesn't work!

    Hi there!
    I'm giving archlinux a try for about one month now.
    In this time I had several system "freezes", where I had to power off the computer, because CTRL+ALT+F* (for switching to console) or CTRL+ALT+DEL (for reboot) didn't work.
    E.g. yesterday I got a freeze, while playing around with virtualbox, when I changed an usb device setting. Or a week ago I had a system freeze, when I changed OSS to ALSA in audacious while playing a mp3..
    It is ok for me when a program crashes BUT what I expect from linux is that it  doesn't freeze just because of some crashed program?
    I am shure this isnt normal right?
    Somehow I miss a "real emergency" shortcut which always responds and e.g. kills X or every 100% CPU process..
    Is there something like this?
    My system is arch_64, ATI fglrx, no WM (just compiz)

    Count me 3, I've been having these freezes for quite some time now. I use only openbox so I don't think it's WM/DE specifc. I think the problem lies to the combination of kernel .34, xorg 1.8 and catalyst. Oh and reisub doesn't work either and yes I have enabled. It's very frustrating...
    Edit: Seems it's kernel specific. I downgraded to .33 and so far no freeze. Give it a try.

  • My nano cannot be formatted and says restore with iTunes - doesn't work

    Hi,
    I have a number of problems with the new nano.
    It worked fine until I updated it (which I never did in the beginning). I formatted it like suggested here with the HP USB... and is was perfectly fine. I reset it like suggested, but when I plugged it in again to load the music from iTunes, it didn't show up.
    The ipod showed in my computer so I formatted it there again as also suggested here, but it couldn't finish formatting and since then all I get is a screen that says 'restore ipod in itunes' in four languages.
    Unfortunately I can't see it in itunes so I can't restore it, I can't show it in My computer, because it says that the device is not formatted.
    I re-installed all the software a couple of times, but nothing works. The updated cannot see the ipod or says: this ipod is not covered by this software...
    I am absolutly desperate, especially as I sit here in Germany, but the ipod was purchased in the US, so no way of bringing it back to the store quickly.
    Any advice someone?
    It is highly appreciated...

    Here are the instructions when your iPod shows up in windows, but not in iTunes.

    I've made an update to 10.6.7 but there is no new app store symbol on my desktop
    how do i get it back ;(

    Hi macvroni,
    If you can't find it in the Applications folder, just type "App Store Application" in the Spotlight box.  Just click on the magnifying glass symbol, at the far right end of the menu bar, to open the Spotlight box.

  • I When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."

    I am using a Windows 7 laptop, 64 bit. When ever I try to open iTunes, it immediately freezes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling, and also going back to previous versions. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks!!

    You need to remove all installer file, uninstall iTunes and all related programs, then do a clean install.
    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

    Let's try the following document with that one.

  • I have an ipod mini....and I have an Ipod jack in my 2007 Honda Accord

    My Ipod mini will not play in my car but my son's Ipod touch does. The handbook in the car says I need a Ipod later then generation 3 or 4 I cannot remember is there anyway to fix or update to newer software??

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, the iPod Mini was from 2004, and only had 2 Generations. If you have an Aux out, then I'd use that, as that will work. The earliest iPod that most cars support is the 5th Gen Video.

  • TS2565 when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

  • IPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200

    My iPod mini always turns on and off when plug in iCarPlay Wireless 200. Does someone has the same Problem?

    I just bought my ICARPLAY Wireless 200-ZML. I have an iPod with clickwheel (20Gb).
    When I conncect the ipod to the wireless transmitter the checkmark sign appears, as described in the manual. After that, instead of returning to the ipod menu, the checkmark disappears and turns up again. This keeps on repeating itself. No menu, no sound. Pressing 'S' on the transmitter has no effect.
    Is this what you mean? Anyone also seen this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
