IPod Update Failed - Touch is now frozen - Help!

I opened a brand new 8GB iPod Touch today and it seemed to work fine. Then it seemed like apps that I bought and downloaded were not working correctly. Every time I clicked on an app it would go right back to the home screen. So I decided to update the iPod software. iTunes downloaded the update fine and then it went through the installation process on the iPod. At the end it said that the iPod just had to restart and it would be finished. However it never restarted. Now whenever I try to turn it on all I see on the screen of the iPod is an image of the little white USB connector and an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo (CD with a blue note). I have tried holding down the power button and completely turning it off and back on again but that doesn't help. My computer doesn't recognize the iPod so I can't do anything in iTunes. Help! What can I do? How can I get the iPod to finish the update of the iPod software?

Well, I was able to get the iPod working again by rebooting the PC and then connecting. I don't know why - but that fixed it. The computer could see the iPod again and it finished the update. However I still have the problem where the iPod can not run any of the apps that I downloaded and installed today. When I click on them it opens the app for like 1 second and then immediately goes back to the home screen. I notice a ton of other people here with the same problem. Help Apple!

I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

Ipod update failed

Ipod update failed due to error while updating . Ipod asks now to connect to ipod but while connected it cannot find the ipod.

What did the error message say?

Ipod disconnected in middle of sync, now frozen help

i disconnected my 4th gen ipod in middle of sync to itunes. now frozen with a picture of cable and itunes logo. if i plug into computer says i must restore and lose everything. have 1000 pictures not backupped. please help!

That's not good news. I'm sorry to say those photos may be gone.
Before giving up, you might try to force the iPod to restart. I've seen them "realize they're OK" after doing that, but rarely.
To restart, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together for about 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

IPod Updater Won't Work. Please Help!!!!!!!

HI!!!,
i tried opening up the iPod updater 2006-03-23 but when it does open up it says. 'iPod Universal Updater has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.' and then the choices Debug, Send Error Report And Don't Send.
What Should I Do:
P.S. It Said The Same message Error For iPod Updater 2005-10-12
So can You Please help.
many thanks In Advance
Cheers,

The iPod updater is now contained in iTunes version 7 or later. Why not use that?
Maybe Apple are not hosting the older standalone updaters any longer.

Update failed error, can someone please help?

I've been trying since last night to update from 1.1 to 2.0 and can't seem to get it to work. I select update from Apple TV settings and it downloads the update. Once completed, I select Update now and begins the process and starts to fill-in the progress bar, then shortly it states that the Update failed and asks to press the menu button. I do so and I am greeted by 3 choices: Diagnostics (which I've run about 3 times now and everything comes back okay); Restart (which I've done as well and only reboots the device); Factory Restore (which I did 2 times and only restores the device back to factory defaults).
I can't get the update to work at all. Aside from that, the device works perfectly fine, without any issues. My DSL line is 6mbps and works very well. The Apple TV is connected via Wifi (802.11n) and that's fast too, so I really don't know how to resolve it, short of bringing it to a local Apple store for a replacement.
If anyone can help me out and at least point me in the right direction, I'd gladly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Thank You for the suggestions, I really appreciate the help!
But...Since the Apple TV was only about 11 days old, I contacted Apple's 800 support line and explained the issue I was having. They said that they hadn't really heard of anyone having that problem and asked me to do the usual troubleshooting steps (diagnostics, restart and factory default). Since that didn't solve the problem they told me I could either get an exchange through Apple via mail or I could take it to a local Apple store with the receipt and they would exchange it for a new model.
I opted for the latter. I was curious about resolving the issue and seeing what was being affected, but truthfully, I was more interested in getting my Apple TV updated and working to full capacity.
So that's it. I took it in today and got an exchange immediately. The new device updated like a charm and plays beautifully.
Thanks again for all the help and support, really appreciated!

Adobe Illustrator update fails . . . now what?

I have received updates regularly for the other Adobe software without issue. However, for over a month, Illustrator's update fails. The error message is:

Retry, fails, retry, fails, retry fails, ad infinitum.
Adobe has a problem with this update for whatever reason and needs to fix it.

IPOD updater 2006-1-10, now no sound after video plays for a few seconds

I installed the latest IPod updater 2006-1-10 and now all my movies will hang for a few seconds and then the sound stops working. If I forward through a few frames, the sounds comes back and repeats the same behaviour.
Anyone have a fix or seen this before?

iPod Updater 2006-01-10 has caused a variety of problems on multiple iPod models.
I just spent an hour on the phone with tech support. They forwarded me to some higher level techs due to my extreme heat while recharging issue. They still seem unaware of the problem. I suggested they read the forums to see just how widespread the problem is. The tech I spoke with assured me she would pass the problem up through the ranks and check the forums, but she said they haven't had a lot of service calls on the issue.
SO!
I suggest that everyone post a "me too" message to the "Complete iPod Failure" thread from 1-23-1006 ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=330396&tstart=0 ), with a description of the problems they are experiencing and what model iPod they own. That thread is an effort at consolidating discussion of this specific issue, as well as a collection of the myriad possible fixes available.
Then phone Apple's tech support (1.800.275.2273) and let them know you've had a problem with the iPod Updater 2006-01-10.
Choose menu selection #1, Technical Support, and talk the automated responder through your configuration.
Hopefully we can at least bring the issue to their full attention and get them to pull the updater from the downloads so it doesn't ruin anyone else's day!
Good luck!

IPod Updater Fails Windows Logo test

Just bought an iPod.
While attempting to install iPod Updater 2006-06-28, I receive a message indicating that the software does not pass the Windows Logo test. Initially, I had the software installed anyway which, in turn, rendered my computer significantly dysfunctional in a number ways. After doing a system restore, I did not have the Updater software installed which, of course, means that my iPod cannot be accessed through iTunes.
Any ideas on what I need to do to solve this?

- 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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Installing iPod update.....need help PLEASE

Im trying to install the new software update for my 30 gb iPod and whenever I try and install a window pops up and says,
"The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make Sure your network settings are correct and your network connectionis active, or try again later."
What does this mean???????

See if anything on this page helps: iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server

Ipod update wiped my ipd, now it's in recovery mode and won't restore

I have read through many of the posted forums, but can't seem to find anything that relates to my particular issue. I have a 60g G5
I updated to iTunes 7 with no problem. It asked me to update my ipod software which i did hesitantly. This wiped my ipod and sent it into recovery mode. The ipod itself displays a message telling me to restore it. However when i try to restore it using iTunes i get the following message...
"The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occoured. (1418)"
I cannot find anything to tell me what this error means or what I can do to fix it. I tried reinstalling iTunes 6 but it would not recognise the ipod at all. I have since reinstalled iTunes 7 but continually get the same message.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

30GB Ipod Update failure...can anyone help??

I've got a 30 GB Ipod just recently downloaded ITunes7 and have no problems except for when I try and update my Ipod I keep getting this error...
-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.
It's been irritating the **** out of me because I can surf all over the iTunes Store with no problems so I know the program is working. Any thoughts or ideas on how to remedy this. Thanks in advance!
