IPOD SOFTWARE USING WIN98

hello i am on a computer right now that has a win98 operating system. i know ipod software requirements state win2000 sp4 or winxp sp2. is there any adjustments i can make in the registry (i'm very good and mostly careful with registry but not excellant)to be able to install ipod software with win98? certainly there has to be someone out there that has done this with success. i would appreciate any help i can get, thank you.

No, you cannot make the latest version of iTunes or the iPod Updater function on Windows 98. The requirements are just that... requirements.
If you want to use your iPod with Win98, then you'll need to employ some third-party software as an alternative to iTunes. Something like Xplay2 would probably work.

Trying to update my ipod software so I can use my Bose Sounddock remote

Hi,
I have a 30 GB 5th Gen ipod that is running Version 1.2, apparently I need version 2.2 to use my Bose Sounddock remote. After searching the Apple website to find a way to download version 2.2, Apple kept bringing me back to the latest itunes 7 download which is supposed to alert you to any ipod updates. So I have downloaded itunes 7 which tells me my ipod is updated with version 1.2. How can I get 2.2 on my ipod?
I notice other people are having similar problems with no solutions, thought I would give it another try, any solutions?
Thanks,
Jessica

Version 2.2 of the software is designed for a different model of iPod, most likely the third generation models, and is older than your model of iPod. The current version of the iPod software for your model is version 1.21; if the remote doesn't work with this version, you probably can't use it with your iPod.
The version numbers are determined relative to the release of the original iPod for first through fourth generation full-size models, and relative to the release of the first iPod with that product name for other iPods, including the iPod photos.

How do I update iPod software B4 using w/Yamaha YDS-10 Uni Dock 2 see photo

We purchased a Yamaha AV Receiver and after we purchased our iPod, the folks at Circuit City told us we needed to purchase the Yamaha YDS-10 Universal Dock for iPod. We can play music just fine, but can't get back to the main menu which begins with Music, Photos, etc. We can only get to the menu beginning with Playlists, Artists, etc. We called iPod help and they determine it was not an iPod issue and said to take the unit back and get a new docking station. I found the manual for the docking station and it states:
It is recommended that you update your iPod software before using it with this unit (YAMAHA YDS-10). The update for the iPod software is available at the Apple website.
I can't find the software update and would greatly appreciate any help/assistance anyone can provide. We just want to be able to view our photos and the occasional movie now and then. Thank you in advance for all your help.

thanks for the suggestion. This was just a simple tutorial on doing a regular restore through Apple. I've tried that already and it doesn't work. I'm sure that Apple downloaded the iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) through my iTues. When iTunes tries to install the firmware on my iPhone, however, that's when the errors start popping up. When I try restoring in DFU mode, my iPhone gets stuck in rebooting over and over again.
It seems like I'm getting some kind of error even before it starts putting any firmware on my iPhone. I've never got to the part where there is a progress bar underneath the apple logo. Any other suggestions?

Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Another user is using iPod Software.....

I'm trying to get more songs on my iPod and when I connect it and iTunes starts running a note pops up and says:
"Another user on this computer is using the iPod Software, so iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod. Please ask the other user to log out." I checked and nobody else on the computer is using iTunes. Does anybody know what I am supposed to do or what this means? I cannot get anything about/on my iPod on iTunes... please help

Try restarting your computer.
This is NOT the kind of help that I find valuable. Restarting the machine is the
last thing I want to do! Is this a bug in the iTunes? Is it a sequence problem? i.e. should you plug in iPod, then start iTunes? Somebody has to have a better answer.

Updating Ipod software to use soundDock

I have a 20B IPOD from the first or second generation. I want to use my BOSE sound Dock but you have to have sortware 3.0 or higher. I downloaded Itunes 7 but my settings on the IPOD still say version 1.2.1, What do I do to update the software so that it is 3 or higher?

By the way, you do not need to upgrade your iPod
software for Bose sound dock, just connect your iPod
with it, it should work
Hi,
I have an iPod mini (green, 6gb) and a Bose Sounddock. I have version 1.4.1 on the mini, and whatever came with the Bose. The remote has no effect, gets no response. I bought a new battery and that made no difference.
We can get great sound if we just put in the iPod and let it play, but obviously it's a pain without a remote.
Any thoughts? I've done the Apple iTunes update and restored the iPod as well (where I discovered no choices in restore, contrary to what Apple's own instructions say, so original factory settings were used).
Both my iPod and Bose are great machines. I wish I could get them to talk nicely to each other!

What DVD to iPod software are you using?

I know this topic has probably been beat to death, but I'm just curious. BTW, I did a search for my questions as well!
I've tried PQ DVD to iPod and Super DVD to iPod and they both have + and - about them. It seems like the PQ software is a little easier to use and you can actually control the DVD where with the Super software you can't. The Super doesn't have the progress bar like the PQ one and I find that very helpfull! Also with the PQ one you can actually control the DVD menu through this software and can crop the DVD. I did find that the Super one had a better picture without changing any settings. That seems like the determing factor for me. I did change some of the setting on the PQ one and it really didn't get any better. If someone could help me with these settings, it would definately make my decision easier. Basically I like the PQ one better if I could only get better resolution. Sometimes it just isn't all that clear as far as the pixels are concerned or maybe I'm just asking for too much with this iPod?
I'm ready to buy some type of DVD to iPod software so what exactly do I have to change to get the resolution better on each software?
Thanks!

No I haven't tried those and I'm sure there are many different ways to go about it. I'm really not interested in trying alot of different softwares, I would just rather find one and stick to it and learn as much as I can about how to use it. I'm going to convert a few more DVD's and see if I have the same problems with the pixels. I currently have two different comedian DVD's installed in my 60gb with the same software, one looks very good and the other is where you can see the pixels in the backround. It may just be the backround on the stage he is on because I don't have that problem with the other DVD. It may also be the DVD I'm sure.

When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

My Ipod says to use the Ipod software updater application??

I unplugged my Ipod and all the songs got deleted. This is the 3rd time this has happened and now when I plug it in to put the music back on, a box pops up and says "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod MICHELLE'S (that's my iPod). Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings." What does this mean? & how do I update it to factory settings? Can someone please help?

Use the instructions in this article to restore the iPod with the iPod updater; use the document it links to if you are using iTunes 7. Some iPods may require that they be connected to the iPod AC adaptor, a car adaptor, or a 6-pin FireWire port before the restoration process can be completed.

The software licence agreement with my new IPOD prohibits use on a non appl

the software licence agreement with my new IPOD prohibits use on a non apple branded computer (yeah, I know, no one reads these things) therefore, as I read the agreement, I am not allowed to install the software on teh CD that came with my new IPOD onto my computer - Interestingly enough, if I run just the itunes installer from the CD and not the "autorun" file, then I get a different licence agreement.
Will Apple compuer company please formally state that the supplied software may be installed on a non Apple branded computer

here is the section to which I was referring - it popped up when I first inserted the CD, and it runs when you install the IPOD updater - see the first sentence.

Itunes says Another user is using the ipod software

When I connect my iPod which has only been owned for a week to my PC, it says that another user on the computer is connected to the Ipod software. This is incorrect. I have reset the IPod, but still cannot make the iPod talk to the PC. Help!!!

As Peeble said, Thomas & Ronnie, this sounds like "fast user switching" is enabled in XP. iTunes & fast user do not get along. See the following link for troubleshooting instructions.

I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?
