Ipod update does not finish, itunes wont recognise ipod!

i recently installed the latest itunes. BIG MISTAKE!! when i connect my ipod and open itunes, it says "determining gapless playback information" and starts going through all the songs on my ipod (a very long process). so i sit this out, and it wants to update my ipod software. fair enough. so i sit this out. it 'finishes' and then just says "updating ipod" and looks like something is happening, but it isnt!! i left my computer and went out and came back in the morning and it was still going!
ps. my ipod does not appear on itunes as well
what can i do?

with those symptoms, it might be worth checking on the possibility from this document:

  • Update does not finish installing

    I am trying to download the update for the 3rd time and it gets to the installing spot and just spins and spins. I try to click stop and it doesnt and I then have to force close my computer. What is causing this to stop?

  • Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

    Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not  acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

    I Want to download i0s 5
    i have ipod touch 3rd gen

    You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
    Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
    To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
    Good luck

  • App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

    App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
    - Last, restore from backup.

  • Updater does not detect my ipod.

    I plug in my ipod, but the updater does not recognize it. It doesn't do anything. When I try to go through the menus of my Ipod it gives me a folder with and exclaimation point. I have tried everything they have suggested and nothing seems to work. Am I supposed to Manually install it or something? I just bought it and when I tried to restore it, it took 2 hours and nothing happened so I unplugged it and now it will not respond or detect it again.

    If you haven't already...
    Put the iPod into disk mode then attempt to restore it (link below)

  • ITunes update does not open on OX 10.7.5

    The most recent iTunes update does not open on my Mac running OX 10.7.5
    I actually downloaded iTunes from the Apple site and it still does not open.
    Any suggestions?

    Kappy!
    Thanks!
    After the download and reinstallation of iTunes waiting for the library to load, it opened!

  • ODI update procedure does not finish

    Hi all,
    I would like to execute some arbitrary SQL to update some rows in an intermediary table and am using a procedure to do so. It runs but never seems to complete. If I do a dummy procedure with SELECT 1 FROM Dual then it runs fine, but this one with an UPDATE does not work. I have tried changing the commit settings to no avail.
    Also, the UPDATE statement that I am running is valid SQL (obviously) but it's a smaller version of the statement that I really want to execute -- it seems that the larger statement I want to run is somehow getting parsed wrong by ODI (even though the code works fine if I just execute it myself).
    Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a Procedure step hanging, thanks.
    Jason

    It seems you have some deadlock during the update step. Basically, it occurs when 2 sessions try to update the same records at the same time (or when one of them didn't commit).
    Launch it again, and check with your DBA the oracle sessions (you can also check it with PL-SQL Developer tool) to see if there is a deadlock (error ora-00060).

  • Artwork does not match iTunes artwork

    After two months of no issues, I have found at least 50 songs on my iPod where the artwork does not match iTunes. What's more, the incorrect artwork is the same on all the songs affected. I have reset, deleted that offending artwork, and tried manually inputting the correct artwork, but the incorrect artwork remains. Any suggestions?

    Try this (message copied from a previous thread):
    unfortunately this is a annoying bug in itunes, and the only way to override this is to do this:
    make sure you have all the songs you want to upload to the ipod in you library then delete all the songs from the ipod, turn on manual update click enable artwork to turn it off, click ok and let itunes delete the artwork on your ipod.
    after it has done this go back to ipod options and enable auto update and enable artwork, and press ok, just let itunes update all your songs again, when it has finished eject ipod and check songs, all the songs you put artwork for should have it now, and the bad thing about this is you will have to do this every time you update the ipod, i am angry about this myself and wish itunes would sort this annoying bug out.
    And a more specific thread detailing this can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=426333&tstart=0
