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.

  • Backing up my ipod touch and its not working?

    hi guys...just wondering if anybody would be able to help me out with the problem i'm having with my ipod touch? either 2nd or 3rd generation 8GB
    yesterday-thursday, i conncted my ipod to the computer and to itunes and it proceeded to do a backup, this then took around 3 hours. itunes then wanted to update the software on my ipod to 4.2.1 so i let this do so. after the update had been carried out, itunes told me it needed to restore my ipod, i also let it do this as i had done a back up and would be able to put everything that was on my ipod touch back onto it once the restoration had been done. This took a few minutes and then itunes asked me which backup i wanted to restore my ipod from, i restored this from the most recent backup that i had made just a few hours before hand and waited another couple of hours for this to be carried out. when the process was finished i took my ipod out of the computer, only to realise that my ipod touch only had apps that i have previously deleted, it didn't have any of my new apps on it and no music had been added. this is a problem for me as i had bought an album, various songs and a couple of apps which all cost me a lot of money on the app and itunes store that is avaliable on my ipod touch, and it seems to have dissappeared as the backup has not picked and of these new things and now i'm wondering if i would be able to get any of this back? my ipod now has nothing but the orginal settings on it. i hope someone will have a solution to this as it has caused alot of upset.

    Kate,
    Are these purchases not in your iTunes library?  Content such as music, movies, apps, etc. are not included in the backup of your iPod.  These all need to be transferred to your iTunes library seperately by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with your iPod Touch still connected.
    See this article about redownloading your missing purchases.

  • Bootcamp and windows not working

    On one of our 24" iMacs, system 10.5.5, we are using Fusion and Windows XP. If we use Fusion, we can use Windows. But all of a sudden, if we try to use boot camp, we can't get to Windows; all we get is a grey screen.
    It's important to us because Hebrew doesn't work well on the Mac and we're on a deadline. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I suddenly got the same thing on Friday and it seems it's happened to many others. Apple support was not able to help me but after several hours of pulling my hair out (as I really needed to keep my Windows boot camp partition) I tried, more in desperation than anything, to take the battery out of the back of the MBP..
    on replacement of the battery it booted into Windows fine and has been OK ever since

  • Itunes, ipod, photos and cotracts not working after safari crash

    My Iphone is about 2 weeks old. It was working fine until 2 days ago. I was browsing when safari crashed. I restarted safari and continued surfing. Later I went into ipod to listed to some music. The songs were on the screen but the ipod game an "unable to play" message. I shut down the iphone and started it up again. This time when I try to go into ipod it just crashes back to the spring board. when I click on Itunes it does the same thing. I clicked on photos and there no photos. turned on the camera and took a couple of Pictures. I looked at the camera roll and they showed up as just outlines of blank icons. Cicking on the icons gives an all black screen. Going out of the camera then into photos shows no pictures.
    I called Tech support and was told to do a restore. I then plugged the Iphone into the dock and was not recognized by itunes. Interestingly Iphoto does recognize it but not itunes.
    I am baffled at this point.

    By any chance did you buy any music from the iTunes wifi store before this happened? I am having problem that sounds similar; but in my case the iPod function shows "no content", and all photos are gone; but notes, calendar and contacts are intact. I also cannot get iTunes to recognize my iPhone to do a sync or restore.

  • Apple software update and safari not working

    Apple software update says "could not connect verify a connection with the app store". Safari wont even display google. Both apps open up initially.

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

  • Updated to 10.6.8 software update and itunes not working

    I recently upgraded to 10.6.3, then installed the 10.6.8. I have tried using the software update and it tells me that my network is not available, but when I when the check it says everything is fine. I have tried to connect to the Mac App store & Itunes and it gives me the same error message. Any ideas???

    Did you use the Combo update.   This is the route to go; then software update (about seven of them).

  • 10.4.6/firmware update and sync not working? No, .mac is down

    I went to sync .mac this morning, and I guess it was the first time since installing the firmware update and 10.4.6. It first said another computer with the same name was registered, then hung. Next time it said it was not registered and proceeded to sync very slowly then exit with errors. After a reboot there was still trouble. Then I thought to check and found on .mac that the sync service was down since yesterday, and remains down.
    Funny how I thought my system was acting crazy when it was the .mac system itself that's experiencing problems.

    I got my bookmarks to sync this morning, but nothing else would.

  • Downloaded 6.1 on iPod touch. ITunes not working  well  can I downgrade back to 5.1

    Can I downgrade to 5.1 from 6.1?  Just updated to 6.1 and hate it! iTunes is not working well at all! Shuts down!

    i believe there is a way to revert to an older os if you still have the file on your pc...if not then you'll have to take it up with apple...maybe they can give you a link to an older version...do not follow the links on google, for most of these have a malware hidden within...i found this out the hard way

  • Ipod touch and itunes not working with vista?

    I bought a 32gb ipod touch(2nd gen) today and so far it's been nothing but a massive headache for hours. I've had an ipod video(30gb) for three years now and it's always been perfect, hasn't give me an ounce of trouble.
    I get home, checked that I had the current itunes version, and then plugged in my ipod touch. I immediately got an itunes error saying that the apple mobile support device was out of date, and I had to re-install itunes. I did that but it still didn't work, it wouldn't recognize my ipod touch. I deleted all my itunes and apple folders and restarted(and uninstalled). Now my ipod still won't recognize when i plug it in on my desktop, it gives me an intunes error saying something like " your ipod touch cannot work because you dont have the 64bit version blah blah ". Which is ridiculous because I'm on windows vista 64bit, and the version of itunes I got was the 64 bit, i checked it three times and even re-downloaded/installed it.
    I tried my second desktop which is on windows XP and it wouldn't recognize my ipod touch either. Then finally I took out my laptop which is windows XP, and plugged in my ipod touch. My ipod touch works fine on my laptop, but not on my other two desktops.
    I need for it to work on my main desktop(the one with vista) because it has all my music.
    So any ideas as to why this is happening? and how to fix it.

    Hi,
    What is the name of the iTunes installer file you used? Try downloading and installing the iTunes again from the iTunes64Setup.exe file located here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_1_1_for_Windows__64_bit
    If the issue persists, verify the usbaapl64.sys driver is being used by following the steps under *Verify iPhone Driver/Service Installation* in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    If the issue is not resolved after installing iTunes from the iTunes64Setup.exe file and the correct driver is being used, reconfigure or disable the security software on the PC and reinstall iTunes.

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
