IPod update and proxy

Hello!
I have a proxy-only connection. Does this mean that I won't be able to get the iPod updates? iTunes 7.02 cheerfully reports that there is an iPod update, but then it is unable to download it.
I am NOT ABLE to connect without a proxy.....

The message says the following:
==================================
iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet
Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again
==================================
The facts are:
1) I browse whatever sites including the iTunes store
2) Apple software update works perfectly
3) I can even listen to the iTunes radiostations and use Skype voice calls
but, still, when trying to update the iPod, it says "...you are not connected to the Internet..."!!?

Ipod updates and im on a different comp

i plugged the ipod into the computer and then there was an update for the software on the ipod. i let the software on the ipod update and then it took all of the songs off of the ipod to make way for the new software. now the songs that i had on the ipod were on a different computer and that computer is not working anymore and i wasnt able to transfer the music to the new computer. can anyone help me figure this out. thank you for your time.

If you installed the new software on your iPod, that (as I believe it warns you) erases everything on your iPod. Once that's done the iPod is blank; no recovery of content is possible. If you can't get the tracks off of your old computer by any means, then you're stuck and will have to reimport your CDs and restore any purchased content from your backups (you did make backups of your iTunes purchases, I hope).
But did the hard drive in the old computer fail? If not you should be able to remove the hard drive, mount it in an external case, and connect it to your new computer. You should then be able get the tracks into iTunes and then onto your iPod.

Ipod updating and deleting all my songs

hi
i have a ipod 30gb video now i have had it for a while now 2 months or so it recently asked me if i wanted to update my ipod i said no since i heard it would delete all my songs so one day i plug in my ipod and it just updates it and deletes all my songs without asking me or anything has anyone else had this happen? I think a couple of thigns are wrong with this. First of all surely there is a way to update it without deleting all your music
itunes should ask you about the update and inform you that the update will delete all your songs
i know i probably should have kept a backup of my music but i didnt expect it to just delete all my music without asking i dont have much disk space i so deleted my music when i put it on my ipod so has anyone else had something like this happen?

Your post is a little confusing, assuming that you use the word "update" as in update the software and not update the songs.
Updating the iPod software does not delete the contents. The iPod software cannot be updated without you first running the iPod updater and clicking on "update". I does not do it itself.
How do you transfer songs from iTunes to the iPod? Automatically or manually?

Deleted Ipod Updater and disconnecting Ipod

When I first got my Ipod it came with ipod updater software. When I installed this software it said there was another more up to date updater so I downloaded and installed the more recent updated. I was going through my programs on my computer and noticed that I had 2 Ipod updaters installed at around 90mb each. I thought well I only need the most recent one and I deleted the old one.
Well now the more recent updater wont work it will not even boot and my Ipod would not disconnect when I pressed the safely remove hardware button it said the ipod would not stop try again later, after trying this several times I finally just pulled the USB plug out without stopping the recharging first.
Now I am downloading a more recent updater. If I delete all of the updaters and install only the most recent one will the software work again.
Another problem after I deleted the old updater when I plugged my ipod in it asked me to give my ipod a name so I did but I dont remember if it is the same name that I originally gave to my ipod and I have no idea of which name is on the ipod or the software now. What should be done regarding this to get my ipod working right.
So far my songs appear to be safe, but they are only on the ipod not on the hardrive because my harddrive is too small to store them all. I have itunes set to manually add and delete songs.

HelloHello,
Hmm..I don't understand why you'd have 2 iPod Updaters. When someone already has an Updater and there's a new version to download, the new one REPLACES the old one - makes no sense to have 2 and confuse the user.
There's another way to eject your iPod from your computer while it's connected and it shows in the "Source" list. You can either right click on your iPod and select "Eject", or you can click on the up arrow next to your iPod and that will eject it too.
It sounds like your computer was having a problem with 2 Updaters, I think you did the right thing by deleting both of them and only downloading the latest version.
I think you can name your iPod whatever you like, I'm not sure if adding a different name will affect your iPod (when it comes to listing your songs if the iPod has a different name). How can you not remember what you named your iPod? Did it have a name at all??
Take Jeff's advice, back up your songs somewhere else besides having them in iTunes and in your mini. Looks like your hard drive is not too reliable, save all your music in a cd.

IOS 5 Software Update and proxy ?

Hi.
I'm in trouble with iOS 5.0.1 on iPad and the integrated software update function.
When I launch the research of new updates at home, the iPad says immediately that the softwares are up to date.
But when I launch the research from the network of my customer (Wi-Fi Network with WPA2 Enterprise authentication by login/password behind a http/https proxy with authentication also, the research just fails.
On that network, the iPad goes without any problem on the Web (http and https).
Do we have any information about what services and what ports are used by the iOS Software Update ?
Best regards.

It starts updating and then it stops quater of the way like this

Ipod updated and deleted me stuff

I updated my b/fs 1st gen touch on my computer. it made a backup then downloaded the update and installed. now i see nothing on his ipod. no music or our photos. what happened? how can i get everything back?

You can redownlod iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
It appears you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Ipod Update and Windows - Not Working. 1.1.2. Downgrade?

I installed 1.1.2 on my 160GB yesterday and it has basically ruined my ipod. Something is wrong with the windows version of this update. I can get itunes to recognize it only if I put the ipod in disk mode. But then when I disconnect it from the computer it will just go to the apple logo screen and repeatedly reboot itself until the battery dies. I took it to the apple store and they got it working by doing a restore on a mac. When I got back home, I restored to Windows and it's back to the same problem. So something is wrong with the update. I also tried restoring on a different windows PC just in case there was something wrong with my download. It didn't help. Same problem.
Anyone else have this problem?
How can I get back to the old firmware. It would have been nice if apple would test their software BEFORE they released it.

As one who is running Windows XP, I updated to 1.1.2 absolutely smoothly yesterday. I waited to see if there was a consensus as to any pervasive problems - the fact that there are so few posts about this update indicated to me there are no major issues. There seems to be nothing inherently wrong with the Windows version of the update. Are you sure you are allowing the update to complete before disconnecting it from the PC? I always wait for the iPod to reboot and run another complete synchronization before disconnecting it.
To Downgrade your firmaware:
Disconnect your iPod from your PC and shut down iTunes
Delete the files for the version 1.1.2 from your PC. In Windows XP they can be found at C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. Make sure you have the files for the previous version of the firmware.
Start iTunes and disable checking for updates automatically (Preferences > General)
Connect your iPod and click the Restore button. You should be asked if you wish to load an older version of the firmware (answer yes).
Let the restore do its thing
Resync your iPod
My guess is you will need to put the iPod into disk mode first, since you say that this is the only way it will be recognized.

My Ipod updated and now won't work

Pior to this, it was working fine. I connected my Ipod and as usual Itunes sync'd and advised that there was a software update. I updated the software and it installed and now my Ipod won't work. It had a darkened screen with the battery showing, the date on top has changed by skip forward a day, the spoked wheel showing processing is displayed but isn't moving. It seems to be frozen and not responsive to any touch. I tried to reset it as per the website by holding the on/home button for 10secs and it kepted getting locked onto the apple logo and nothing else. I restored it and it took ages and appeared with the same screen and then it seemed to come good. Except all my music and photos are gone and its now frozen on the music screen with no options, just a white screen. It chimes like its on the charger and displays the charging icon on the top, even when its not plugged in. It won't reset again either (home/on) it's just staying on that screen.
I only just got it in Sept 10 so its only four months old and this only started happening after the update to 4.2.1. What's going on?

Welcome to the discussions,
try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then restore "as new ipod" without using the last backup to restore your data and settings from, it may contain corrupt data.

How do i get my ipod update and get my ipod changed

How do i get updates for my ipod and get my ipod changed when my charger won't work

if i am reading this right your ipod is unable to charge due to the charge/sync cable no longer working, i'm assuming that also the ipod's battery is completely drained and won't turn on i am recomending that you go to walmart or best buy or any other electronics store and tell them that your charge/sync cable is no longer working and they should help ya get a new cable be sure to tell them what generation your ipod is because the cable end that goes into the ipod has changed

IPod updates and Diskeeper 2007 Pro conflict

If you receive an error while attempting to update your iPod and you have any version of Diskeeper 2007:
1. Check in your task manager to see if the DKService.exe process is running.
2. If it is, use "End Now," to close it.
3. Then, update your iPod.
4. Go to Start>Run, type "services.msc" and press Enter.
5. Find the "Diskeeper" service, and turn it on again.
I've discovered that the auto-defragmentation system in Diskeeper 2007 keeps trying to defrag your iPod whenever it's connected, and it locks the drive against updates. That's why you can't update your iPod while Diskeeper is running the background. The preceding steps are a way to work around this until Apple is able to automate it or give some kind of notice in later iTunes updates.

Apple's manufacture warranty that comes for new devices is 1 yr. You can pay for extended care but is probably not recommended since by that time you will probably want to get a new one anyways.

Ipod update and lost of all music

I updated the lastest version of itunes from my ipod touch which lead to my ipod being restored. Now all my music is gone but it shows up on the computer when I connect my ipod in the purchased folder. How do I get the music back onto my ipod without having to re-purchase?

Haven't you already posted this same question?
Help!
No need to do so twice.
If the music is in itunes on your computer as it should be, then just sync it to the ipod as you would anything else.

Ipod updated and then fomatted itself !

Dam it !
seems my ipod mini has just formatted itself after i plugged it into my pc ... as i do everyday !
plugged it in this morning and noticed that for some reason i was asked to register via the apple site, at first all my songs still remained but moments later disappeared without a trace :o(
now when i plug it in it notices it for a short period but trhen looses the connection, checked it unplugged but still nothing .. completely empty

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes and iPod updater won't recognize iPod

I'm running Windows XP and it shows the iPod is there but it won't show up in iTunes and iPod updater after 'initializing' for a good 5-10 minutes says either 'could not recognize the iPod' or if it does let me restore give the 'Firmware update failure. Diskwrite error.' I have the latest iTunes and iPod update and went through all the steps in the 'Windows recognizes iPod but iTunes does not' Troubleshooting help section. All these problems started when I tried to update with the new iPod updater software and got an error, everything worked fine before. I have also tried using a friends USB cable the problem is obviously in the Nano itself. Is there any way to safely format without using the iPod updater? or what should I try doing next?
Also it seems like when the nano isn't plugged into a power source it drains the battery, with nothing showing on the screen because it always starts charging when I hook it up to the computer even though it was fully charge before.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I too am having this exact same problem. My iPod nano was working perfectly until this "latest update" Since I installed that update my itunes and my ipod updater will NOT recognize my iPod. I am getting all the same error messages as you.
I have done EVERYTHING recommeded in the support pages. Reinstall, uninstall, install, reboot I've done it all a hundred times. I have over 5 pages of support documents I printed up and I followed them to the T. I have 10 different USB ports including 3 2.0 USB ports. My windows recognizes the iPod instantly, but the updater will not.
I 'm starting to think it's a problem with the update software.
Please, if anybody has any advice other than "www.apple.com/support/ipod" please post something. I have had my Nano since October and never had a problem with it and I really, really miss it right now.
Thanks
