Ipod mini software update!

Is there a way to uninstall the recent software update of the ipod mini as i am having problems with adding songs to ipod that i was not having before the update. re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick!

"re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick! "
You can't reset the iPod via the updater, you can only restore or update the software.
In order to revert to an older version of the software, you would have to find an older updater (on your computer or the installation disk perhaps?) and use that.

Ipod mini software update issues

I am trying to restore the factory settings on my ipod mini but am running into issues when I go to do the installation and am getting a prompt that says that the volume must run on Mac OS 10.2.8 (or Mac OS 10.3.8) or higher. Do I have to do the restoration via computer running on this version of the Mac OS... how can I get around this?

Does anybody know where i can download the IPOD MINI SOFTWARE

i recently bought an ipod mini off my friend but he gave me no cd with the ipod mini software. i dont need the itunes software i have that but i dont know where i can download the ipod mini software, any help will be amazing helpful and welcome, thanks

Yes it could be. You should perhaps restore it using the updater from the link I gave you.
Install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then choose restore.
This will return the iPod to factory settings, erase the hard drive, reload the software and ensure the iPod is Windows formatted.
Then you should be good to go.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

Try google. Search "Felix bruns". Select the software you want!

IPod Touch software update suggestions - Attention Apple Development!

Maybe this has occurred to you folks at Apple, but how about an iPod Touch software update that allows the user to create 'folders' to organize YouTube bookmarks? Even better, a way to do this in the sync-page of iTunes as well. And another suggestion - a way to select which Safari bookmarks are synched; better yet which browser to sync (Safari, Firefox, etc. - can't do this on the Mac as far as I can tell).

Problems updating iPod mini software

I have OS 10.3.9 but recieve and error message saying You cannot update this volume. You need 10.2.8 or later.

I have a similar problem.
When connecting my iPod video, iTunes says it needs a software update. But whenever I proceed, My iTunes gets a 'server error'. (...The iPod software update server could not be contacted....")
Is there a way to download just the update in zip file outside iTunes? In a FTP server perhaps?
It's been a day passed and I still can't update my iPod software.

Purchased songs from itunes will not load on iPod despite software updates.

When I attach my ipod to my computer i get this error message.
"Some of the songs in the itunes music library were not copied to your ipod because the software on your iPod is too old. Go to apple.com/downloads to get the latest iPod software. "
I have gone to apple and downloaded the 11-17 iPod updated and i still get this error messege. The song that will not copy are only the ones purchased from iTunes.
(i am using an older 10g ipod, purchased in December 03. The model number is A1040)
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

I am also having the same problem with IPod Mini(6G). I purchased it September 2005.
The only thing different was that I needed to change my credit card information. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Ipod mini not updating in itunes on emac

my mini wont update on my emac in itunes, we have the latest updates for both ipod and emac itunes etc.....
first it says that the ipod is connected with another lib and if i want to have the ipod use my library (which is the only lib it has ever been updated with)..
then it gets ready to copy and says that the "disk cannot be written to or read from"...
please help i have tried re setting my ipod and the computer and i dont know what else to do!!

See if anything here helps: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
Failing that try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have everything backed up. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

Cannot load ipod mini software and use i pod

HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 - How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
you should try that first. If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive. Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is." When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful. Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings. Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen. If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363 - iPod devices with a Click Wheel
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes. Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.

Is iPod Jan Software Update tied to one iPod or one Account - No audio

I think I've been a good scout thus far. I've followed the forums, all the complaints and all the issues and STILL purchased the Jan Software update for my iPod 16 GB.
From the advice, I knew to back up my music, make the purchase and do an automatic sync from my mac to the iPod. Apart from a few hiccups this worked fine and the update did appear and I could use the applications.
Unfortunately, post-update, there was no longer any audio output from the audio (headphone) jack despite trying multiple headphones and trying to play music, podcasts or video. When I connected my iPod Touch to the iBook, the iBook could play media from the iPod with audio through the iBook's speakers so I knew there was audio.
Apart from the fact that this is highly irritating, I decided to take the iPod in today to a service centre who told me they would look at it and only contact me within 3 -5 days. I would probably get a new iPod if they couldn't fix my problem.
When I told them that my iPod had the knew update they told me that they couldn't/didn't know anything about this - and didn't know what new iPod would be exchanged or which software.
HERE'S MY QUESTION - in the event that I do get a new iPod Touch without the update or with a version lower than 1.1.13, will I be able to use my purchased Jan Software Update or do I have to re-purchase?
Thanks.

The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
The file is located here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

I tried to update my ipod touch software update by syncing with itunes and now its in recovery mode? Is it possible to get it out of recovery mode? if so, then how?

I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode". Seems like the only option is to restore? Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Updating iPod After Software Update

Howdy,
Bit of a problem here. All of the software was updated last night and my iPod has been updated, yet it now says I need to plug it in to the standard electricity supply for it to update, but I don't have that plug. So, I can't use my iPod
Anything I can do to stop this or bypass it? I've only got the USB cable still
Cheers

When updating or restoring the iPod via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.

I make no claims as to whether this will work, but merely point it out.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

IPod shuffle software update status different between users

With User 1, iTunes 7.0.2 says my 2G iPod shuffle is up to date (software version: 1.0). If I switch to User 2 and plug the same iPod shuffle into the dock, then iTunes says there's an iPod sofware update available (version 1.0.1). I decline the offer to update. Going back to User 1, no update is suggested (version 1.0 is current).
Why does iTunes report a different software update status depending on which user is active? I don't think there's a software version 1.0.1 for the 2G iPod shuffle.
There is no ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ folder for either user.
iMac G5 (B) 20-inch Mac OS X (10.4) 2.0 GB RAM

I found the solution on MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
Summary: on the Summary tab, click Restore (will pop up a confirmation dialog), then Cancel, and the Update button then indicate version 1.0.1 for User 1. Then click Update. iTunes did the update, no muss, no fuss.

IPod Mini Software broke my computer??

I received a 16GB Ipod mini for X-mas. Because I am afraid of all thing electronic, I haven't tried to use it until tonight. I put the CD in the drive and downloaded all the software and formated the iPod itself (yeah me!). Got all the way through the installation process and was prompted to reboot. I did...
Now I get this blue screen (not the blue screen of death; I'm painfully familiar with that one!) that tells me all sorts of error codes. I try to reboot in safemode and even that takes me back to this blue screen.
I can't even wipe out the hard drive and start over as Dell didn't see fit to send me a copy of the OS disc!
My question is, can anyone help me fix this problem? I practically live on my computer (using my fiance's BTW) and I'm going crazy quickly.
Any help is appreciated. TY ahead of time!!

Well, we need to clear up what iPod you actually have because there's no such thing as a 16GB iPod mini. Look here to see what your iPod model is.

I put the CD in the drive
What CD do you refer to? iPods haven't been supplied with install CD since Sept 2006.
