Ipod not updating

Everytime I try to update my iPod from 4.2.1 to 4.3.5, it will download the update just fine. It's when it gets to processing file, that it pops up with an error stating:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod 'iPod touch.' The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
I'm clueless as to the solution to the problem.
Thanks.

I currently use iTunes 10.3 actually.
I'm constantly connected to the internet, I'm practically addicted.
I'm trying to update it now without firewall.

IPod not updating with iTunes

When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
Please help.
Thanks,
Donnie

See if there's any help here.

New Ipod not updating or been seen by Itunes

Yesterday I bought a new black Ipod Nano to replace the one that got broken in a freak accident. I plugged in the new Nano into my PC, go the popup stating the software on the Ipod needed to be updated. So I went ahead and ran the Ipod Updater. Then distear struck. During the update process, my PC got restarted. My Ipod got rebooted during this time. Now it will not Update/Restore or even be seen by Itunes. It shows up as a drive under Explorer (E:). While it is plugged in the PC's USB port, it displayes the "Do Not Disconnect" icon, however no updates are happeing. When it is not plugged in, I can access the menu on the Ipod. I have went through all of the "Five Rs", AND when that did not help; followed the directions in the article "Ipod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 but nothing has changed. After uninstalling Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, restarting my PC, clearing TEMP folders, restarting my PC again, then reinstalling the latest Quicktime/iTunes/iPod Updater, then restarting my PC again (getting bit tedious with all the restarts), I still cannot update my iPod Nano or transfer music to it. HELP! Right now my Nano is just a brand new 270 Euro paperweight.

Xinh,
Since you was in the middle of updating when the PC rebooted, your iPod software is corrupt, even tho this artical talks about seeing the apple logo and the iPod not turning on, it covers damaged iPod software which you have to have cuz the update never completed before your PC rebooted
Just follow the instructions and the link "Disk Mode" in the artical to see how to put the iPod into disk mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584

IPod not updating! HELP!

I need help desparately! Whenever I plug in my iPod to update new songs that I have downloaded, iTunes shows that it is updating, but once iTunes shows that it has been updated and I disconnect my iPod, the new songs are not on the iPod! The songs are still saved in my library, but they will not update onto the iPod.
Also, two similar warnings continue to come up on my computer:
iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\TempFile is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
AND
a30:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\PhotosFolderPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run te Chkdsk utility.

Ack...Ok
This first article deals with the iTunes.exe corrupt file and how to fix it as well as addressing your seconds question.

Basically, among other things you need to download the latest iPod Updater. This article will elaborate on what you need to do. Good Luck and come back if you have more questions or problems.

IPod not Updating Properly

when i upload a cd onto itunes and it goes into my library, i plug into my ipod and let it connect and hit upload ipod and it acts like it's uploading but when it finishes, i go to my ipod and see if the cd uploaded onto the ipod and it hasnt.
Windows XP Video iPod

well I did those steps without it plugged in the first time and nothing happened at all and then I did them the second time with the ipod connected to the computer and it worked. What should I have checked on my preferences for my Ipod then? Currently, "enable disk use" isn't checked.
And something odd just happened when I got out of the preferences window. A box which hasn't popped up before just now came up saying about another library. A couple weeks ago, my friend took my Ipod and hooked it up to her computer to see if she could get her songs from her library onto my Ipod but when a box came up saying something about deleting the curreny songs from my ipod, she cancelled the entire thing. Could that have anything to do with why my ipod wont update now?
Currently in my disk management I see:
just my C drive and that's it

IPod not updating cuz I'm not authorized to play some songs on my computer

I updated to the newest Itunes version, but my ipod won't update with the songs that I purchased from Itunes. It did update the songs that I burned from a CD.
The error message is: Some of the songs in the ITunes music library were not copied to your IPod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
I went to advanced --> Deauthorize computer, and tried to click off of the top setting, which is "Deauthorize Computer for Music Store Account" but could not click off of that.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Play one of the songs in iTunes and then sync the iPod.

Ipod not updating! -And no error comes up, so i dont know the problem

I can't put songs on my ipod, nor can I delete them. I've had the ipod for a year now, and i'm using the same method as i always have to put the songs on and to delete them... so i know how to do it and everything.
But this past few weeks i can't delete nor put songs on my ipod. Why is this?
I've observed that when I do delete them, the name still remains on my ipod. However when I press the track to play, it shows theh name and details on the screen and then without playing a second of it, it skips to the next track.
After playing around with itunes and my computer for a while trying to fix the problem, I got a warning message that said "ipod could not be updated, unkown error, error (-53)". Does anyone know what this (-53) might mean? it might help me on the right track. And then again it might be irrelevant because i got it from playing around with the comp...
I really need help because my ipod is my favorite possession, im an audiophile, and I don't have enough money for repairs or a new ipod

Thank you Mitch for the site!!!! I used one of the options and it worked!!!! i've never been happier
To all the others out there whose Ipods are having the same problem, go to the link above!! I used the chkdsk utility thing. Took only 3 minutes

IPod not updating iTunes statistics

I just noticed that my ipod isn't updating the play count, last played or rating changes in my itunes library. It's not clearing the unplayed flag on my podcasts either. Did I accidentally turn something off?

Is your iPod set for automatic updates, or manual update mode?
Those stats won't update back to iTunes unless you're in automatic update mode.

IPod not updating: Not eligible for requested build?

On plugging in my iPod Touch (4th Generation) it comes up "This iPod is not eligable for the requested build" aftering the backing up and verifying sequence.
Now, since attempting to update to iOS5, I can't restore to an earlier version because it's just.. caput.
On doing a direct file update, I get 3002 Error.

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

Ipod not updating and Itunes not seeing my folder

I recently added Itunes to a brand new laptop and apon hooking up my 30 GB video ipod, I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new Ipod. However, I also noticed that under my computer, the Ipod doesn't show up. Also all of my original Ipod files are still on my ipod but not showing up in Itunes....any ideas of what the problem maybe. Itunes does recognize my ipod, by name but and added the files off of my new laptop but thats about all it does. No updating the actual Ipod.

Ipod not updating syncing

my ipod nano 4th generation i think, connects to laptop and comes up in itunes but it will not sync or update my ipod???

Hi,
I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
Regards.
Nick

4G iPod not updating disc space

Hi,
I have a 40 Gig 4th gen ipod which doesn't update the free space available on it when I delete items. I have been using it as a disc drive for storage space and before deleting anything I had 1.8 gigs free. After deleting about 5 gigs of stuff I still had only 1.8 gigs free. This was visual as well as effective, meaning that I couldn't transfer anything over 1.8 gigs to the iPod as Tiger told me that there wasn't enough space. I really need that storage space, anyone got any ideas???
regards,
Glen

This seems to happen from time to time. I have not read a good explanation, but I suspect that the iPod's operating system isn't the best at memory management.
These are the ‘standard’ fist steps to this type of issue:
First, make sure that you have emptied the Recycle Bin or the ‘Trash’ when the iPod is connected and seen by the computer.
Then try Resetting Your iPod to correct this problem. It may take several attempts.
If that does not solve the problem, then Restore Your iPod and put the music back on your iPod, from iTunes.
