Ipod Udpater

I did the new update, i do not want to do restore because all my music won't reload, when i first got my ipod i didn't have dsl so my like first 250 songs "can't be found" when i click on them in itunes.....and now it still says do not disconnect, what do i do?

I think I was just able to update ok, but I've noticed that once my Ipod starts showing "don't disconnect", it NEVER stops showing it, even after the update is done, I've shut down Itunes, etc. It's kind of pathetic, but I think it's a low priority bug.

  • Itunes wont open/ file icon on ipod- NEED HELP ASAP!

    My itunes will not open at all on my comp. I downloaded the newest version, then nothing would open. I removed all versions and attempted to re-install again. Now, my ipod will not turn on. There is a file icon with an exclamation point. I dont know waht to do and I am leaving for a long trip in a few days and need my ipod! any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.

  • Video iPod restarting/rebooting?

    As I play music - shuffle songs - I periodically forward along until I find the song I want. Lately, the iPod will turn itself off and back on again. I'll try to advance a song, then the screen will go black with the Apple logo appearing seconds later, then I'm back at song 1 again.
    Has anyone had this happen to them?
    Thanks

    HI ok this is an exact post I answered to the same question on here but it solved my problem. its been like two weeks now and no problems at all no more resetting when skipping through songs
    ok just an update to my previous post so it did once again the reseting that is so now what i did was contacted apple, they suggested that I download the ipod udpate and manually run that update to the ipod...so I did that and like a week or 2 ago and since then no resetting during it playing through the whole day and skipping through songs.
    hope that helps out others here

  • My IPOD shuffle cannot be udpated

    Every time I try to load a song into my IPOD shuffle I get the following error message:
    "The IPOD cannot be udpated. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I have downloaded the updates, reset the IPOD, and all goes well until I try to drag a song from my hard drive onto the IPOD and I get the error message.
    Any thoughts?
    JETERBOY

    Now the iPod is unusable with the Recovery mode loop. The full error below:
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
    I can see my IPOD under devices on the left pane of iTunes while the error displays. But when I click OK, the IPOD disappears under DEVICES as does the DEVICES category.
    and also when i remove my ipod from computer it isn`t light any light never the battery show

  • Ipod starts to update songs, then slows down ...then wont udpate at all :(

    I know this might be previously posted, and if it is I'm sorry but I couldn't find it!!! I have reset factory settings, saved songs and completey erased itunes and started over...It still happens though. I have 725 songs exactly, but it seems like when it gets around 500-515 songs (not one inparticular) it slows down and wont hardly load anymore. Most of the time it freezes and I have to start over, which doesn't help either. PLEASE ANYTHING PLEASE???

    anyone?

  • IPod Apps no longer work, Music disappears, Fix?

    QUESTION : How to fix permanently the “iPod Touch Breakdown“?
    (seems identical to the iPhone “Breakdown“)
    Since I upgraded to 2.0.2, running iTunes 7.7.1 (11) on a MacBook Pro G4, I keep having big trouble with Apps, Music and Films.
    Here is what I call the “iPod Touch Breakdown“:
    - Apps won’t start : the iPod would go back to the home screen after a few seconds.
    - Music and Films disappear (My music consists essentially of personnal CDs).
    - (for me Photos are still there)
    - all original Apple Apps work OK
    This is a known problem, also occuring on the iPhone with many posts on the iPhone discussions forum (see “iPhone“/“Installing and Using iPhone Applications“/“iPhone Applications no longer work“. At the time I write this messge, this question has been viewed 16,080 times ( ) (*) and there have been 319 replies: probably a sad record for a single question, which means that THERE REALLY IS A BASIC PROBLEM.
    My iPod is a 8Gb purchased while staying in Pasadena, almost a year ago. I was extremely happy to use it more and more like a PDA (updates 2.0.1 and 2.0.2).
    There have been some fixes proposed on the discussions forum (iPhone) that I tried and I have tried myself a couple more. NONE of them could fix the problem permanently: all fixes have been working for a day or two, no more. Untill you download an App (even an update) and you get the “Breakdown“ again.
    As other users, I have noted a slowdown in anything I am doing (e.g. typing text) just before the Apps stop working and the music disappears. (see for instance Truth42 on iPhone Forum (Applications no longer work), Posted: Aug 25, 2008 10:57 AM)
    Fixes: typically you get to disinstall and then reinstall all your Apps. Each time, you lose all your Apps parameters (bad for data bases and notes).
    Two ways:
    see iPhone forum: Aveonz Posted: Aug 24, 2008 3:16 AM :
    1- sync using iTunes
    2- in iTunes/Store: deauthorize your account
    3- sync
    4- authorize
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    (the whole process may take several hours; I have also done a reboot between 3 and 4)
    (ii) proposed by various people :
    1- deselect all applications
    2- sync
    3- disconnect your iPod and reboot it (pressing both buttons simultaneously for several seconds – see Apple site) (you keep you parameters, WiFi, etc)
    4- select the Apps you want back
    5- sync (will re-load your Apps)
    6- sync (to backup you new configuation)
    In the end you can use the Apps you have reloaded, but just for a few days (or hours)… until you cannot resist downloading a new App, or simply just download an App update. It won’t breakdown instantly after you do that, but it will very soon.
    I certainly would take any procedure to fix this definitely. However, the best choice is probably to use as few third party Apps as possible (none is better) and wait for 2.1. Hopefully Apple is working on this, and we’ll get a definite fix very soon. This actually makes a very bad press for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
    Sadly,
    because I think iPod Touch and iPhone are beautiful machines –but for how long? Competition is tough…
    Cheers
    (*) about this number 16,080, obviously not all of the viewers experienced the “Breakdown“, but most were just curious to know. Still, the good question is to know how many of us, using the iPhone and iPod Touch experience this bug (virus?) and why some have it and not others (and in which proportion?).

    Same issue here since updating to 2.0.2; Is there a way to back I wonder?
    So I plugged back in my iPod touch and,...
    0. make a note of all your music, movies, photos, apps selections to restore
    1. cancel connect attempt to iTunes store (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    2. cancel attempts to sync or backup (little 'x' in iTunes toolbar)
    3. clicked <OPTION>[Restore] once selecting my iPod touch device
    4. navigate to <home>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Udpates/
    5. pick the prior update: iPod1,12.0.1_5B108Restore
    6. then waited through iPod window status displays
    'Preparing iPod software for restore...'
    'Restoring iPod software...'
    'Verifying iPod Software...'
    7. OK the 'Your iPod has been restored to factory settings,...'
    8. Ssync process did NOT automatically being so I unplugged & plugged it
    (I did verify that 2.0.1 was loaded seeing the App Store)
    9. Pick 'Set up as a new iPod'; don't pick an earlier backup point
    (mostly 'cause I couldn't be sure which was a good failsafe).
    10. iTunes then begin setup of my [ahem] new iPod.
    STOP IT; it'll try and do restore everything. Then navigate the tabs for
    your iPod and re-select those things you want (music,photos,movies,apps,etc)
    So like any computer you need to keep proper backups.
    The apple s/w system updater appears to do just that automatically, thanks! Of course it would've been nice to have had the 2.0.2 version tested a bit more before its release.
    IMHO the host (mac) should have kept my prefs for the iPod rather than my resorting to handwritten notes but at least I'm back to normal. Consider when replacing an iPod how you'd want the replacement to be a mirror of its predecessor.
    Oh, skip future requests to update to 2.0.2 until Apple can get his sorted out.

  • I can't see my ipod on the computer.

    Hello,
    I know this question has been asked a lot of time, but I can't find a solution.
    Here is my problem :
    > When I connect my iPod Touch (3rd generation), I can't see him, Windows and iTunes. Just in the ISB devices, I can read there is the apple driver. I have "erase" [I'm french.. Sorry.] my iPod, reinstall iTunes after reboot my computer (I know it's not the term, but I don't have a good vocabulary), even reinstall the pilot and udpate it.
    So, even after that, I can't see, only the driver..
    Thanks for a reply...

  • How do i edit the cd information in itunes so that it syncs with my ipod

    why wont my cd information in itunes sync with my ipod after I edit. I like for my albums to have one artist instead of the main artist and featured artist it just makes music eaiser to find. i'm new to the apple word coming from a mp3 this is so complicated.

    If you havent synced to a computer before then see if this page helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    In terms of updating the iPad, your games progress should be included in the backup. How long it takes to udpate will depend upon your content on the iPad (it will backup and restore it, though the contents of the iPod and Videos apps aren't included in a backup) and wifi speed - the iOS update file is something like 700 meg so may take a while to download.
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • Ahhh the old wet ipod

    I had to walk in the rain the other day and when I opened my backpack, my IPOD was sitting in about an inch of water. It has a rubber case but there are openings (screen, USB, headphones etc). I let it dry for a couple of days and then plugged it into my computer. It turned on and charged up and I got excited. After charging, I tried using it. The buttons do not work. None of them, including the click wheel. The menu button does not turn it on, BUT it will turn on if I hold the menu and select buttons for the ipod reset. I just did the ipod restore and udpate, no luck. All of my music was intact, even though it's gone now due to the restore.
    I am reading now that you should let it dry for a week and do not turn it on before then. Is there a chance my buttons got fried because it was turned on too soon? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    George

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Downloading and installing 3.0+ to 2nd ipod touch

    For the next two months, I am away from home (and my "base" computer) but my 2nd ipod touch badly needs updating to the new software 3.0 or higher. How can this be accomplished on a public computer?
    Also will I have to pay again after I paid for it on my first ipod touch? I don't want to sync anything and I don't needt to do a back up yet... I simply need to install the update.

    Yeah, since it is a public computer there would be no need for them to have a backup file from my ipod. Plus it will take forever to wait on it.
    Well, keep in mind that the backup does not consist of your media files, only your iPod preferences, contacts, calender, web links, game data, etc. This normally only take a few seconds, and you can always delete the backup from within iTunes (as long as your Touch is still connected).
    Kam D'Bret wrote:
    I think I will try downloading the update to itunes while my ipod is still disconnected and see if there is any trouble and then connect to install if everything goes well.
    OK, just beware that its not always the downloading part where problems happen, usually the problems (if there will be any) occur during the OS installation, and that is where a firewall and AV software can get in the way (among other potential issues). I'm not trying to scare you off, just warn you that there can be problelms and you might think twice before insalling a new OS while away from home. If you really wanted to play it safe, you could use a 3rd party software to extract your media files to a local computer before udpating the OS, but you probably don't want to do that on a public one.

  • When I try to update my iPod touch, it times out just before it is complete.

    I have tries at least 5 times to update my iPod touch to the latest version of the software, but each time, it says the it has timed out near the end of the download.  I have udpated my daughters' iPods, without any problems, but can't seem to get mine up to date.  I checked the internet settings and did not see any time limits.  Any suggestions?

    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

  • Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

    Hello,
    I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
    The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
    Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
    I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
    What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • List view in iCal on my iPod touch is corrupted

    The 'list view' seems to be all wonky in Calendar on my iPod touch.
    The dates for a given day that's displayed don't make sense:
    i.e. Sunday Oct. 27 2030 followed by Saturday July 14 2001 followed by Tuesday Jan. 16 2001 are listed in consecutive order instead of today, tomorrow and next day (with correct dates).
    Also, the 'events' given for each day listed don't make sense and are often duplicated.
    The 'day' and 'month' views however, seem to be ok and not corrupted. The 'list' field in the month view also seems fine ?
    Has anybody experienced this ? Very frustrating, since I like the list view.
    I make most of my entries/changes to iCal on our main desktop (iMac 24") then sync. to my iPod. The list view seems ok on the desktop.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    ps. not sure if the problem corresponded with an upgrade of the Ipod software to OS 3.1 from 2.x....
