Ipod update icon deosnt pop up

I have problem with updating my ipod after restore it, it shows a folder icon, and try to format the ipod, it didnt work. everytime i try to update it, the updated folder pop up but the restore button only show up, the update button went blank, so i cannot click on it and cannot updated my ipod, i am giving up with doing this... i need to use it when im overseas, seems it did work at all

Try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
When restoring the iPod, put it into disk mode first.

Anyone else having volume icon on ipod touch 4gen just popping up and not working properly after upgrading to ios 6.1?

Hi, has anyone experienced issues with there volume control icon randomly popping up after upgrading to ios 6.1 from 6.0 .
I have a 4th gen ipod touch which until upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0 was working perfectly.
Minutes after the upgrade I noticed the volume icon just popping up for no reason. I can turn the volume up now, but not down and it randomly appears on screen without anyone touching it. Weird! Can someone shed some light on this issue,I have reset and reloaded to factory several times now to no avail.
thanks!

I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back.

I was trying to restore my itouch and when i pressed "restore" and then pressed "restore and update", another sign popped up saying "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting is full. Removing files and empty the recycle bin

i was trying to restore my itouch because it showed on my itouch the itunes bar on top and the charger on bottom so i went on itunes and when i pressed "restore" and then pressed "restore and update", another sign popped up saying "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting is full. Removing files and empty the recycle bin will free up additional space. What do I do?!?!?! please help me ASAP

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

My iPod Touch icons are large and I cannot see all of them, touching the screen does not make them return to normal. It is charged and was updated over the weekend.

Can't install Ipod Updater

I have been able to download the new Ipod Updater. But when I attempt to install it, a dialogue pops up that reads "Error reading setup initialization file" with an icon of a brown box holding an iPod.
Is there a way to fix this? This is the first time I have ever updated my iPod.

I am having the same problem. I originally tried to download the Updater and then lost my internet connection before the download was completed. When attempting to download again this is the message that I receive"Error reading setup initialization file".

IPod updater won't install

I have a 20GB iPod with dock connector. It worked fine until I downloaded iTunes 5. Then when I connected the iPod, I got a message that I needed to update the iPod software. So I downloaded the updater 2005-9-23. But installing it is a problem. When I get to the "destination" stage, I get two choices -- my iPod or my hard drive (though the instructions say to choose the "Starter Disk"). Both are dead ends. If I choose the iPod, I am told "You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher." Not sure what this means, because my computer has OS 10.3.9. If I choose the hard drive, I get a message that the updater is "disabled." Any solutions?

Well, Erin, I seem to have solved it but I'm not sure how. I read somewhere on the Apple site that if the iPod won't update, you may have to reset it (tried that, didn't work) or restore it. Since I have all my music and audiobooks in my iTunes library, I decided to restore it.
It got to the stage where it said it had restored my factory settings and was restarting the iPod. Then -- nothing happened! The iPod was just dead. It didn't even show up as connected to my computer. So I gave up, disgusted, and left it plugged into the dock connector overnight. Then, this morning, I noticed that a window had popped up asking me to name my iPod. And I looked over and the iPod had risen from the dead! I tried transferring songs to it and it worked! So I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it is working again.
Another thing I was trying at the same time (and I'm not sure if it had any significance) was reaching the updater through the Mac's Utilities folder instead of through the updater icon on the desk top. I'm not sure why that is different, but at least I was getting different messages -- though they still said I couldn't do what I was trying to do.

Does artwork slow video iPod updates?

I have a 5G iPod and recently added a bunch of album artwork to iTunes playlists. I just Google-imaged names of albums, saved that image file to desktop, and added that image to the album artwork option in iTunes. The size of these images are small....nothing over about 15k. I have about 60 album images on there, but still that's nothing compared to songs, photos, movies I have on there.
Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says updating, beach ball pops up, the iPod icon in the left column stops flashing, and this lasts about 5 minutes. It eventually finishes...but 5 minutes for very minor updates, if at all?
I have plenty of space left on my 30gig and am fully updated on all software. Just curious to know of any suggestions or if anyone else has a similar problem. This didn't seem to happen until I added the (small) artwork. Thanks in advance.

Even if you only make a small change to a bunch of files by adding artwork, for synchronization purposes, these are completely new files, i.e. different than the ones on your iPod. So, in essence, when you plug in your iPod after adding album artwork to your audio files, all the audio files are being erased and replaced with the updated files from your computer.
It seems that the sluggish update to your iPod should only happen once, as long as the files remain as they are now on your computer.

Ipod isn't recognized by my computer, itunes,or Ipod Updater

When i plug in my ipod to my computer, it says "USB Device not Recognized". Can anyone help me?? I would really appreciate the help!!!

Preston,
Try this and it works in my case.
1.Put your iPod in diskmode
2.Plug your iPod with your computer
3.Your computer may not recognize your iPod, but try few attempts until your iPod showing "Do not disconnect"
4.Then force unplug (not EJECT - just force unplug it and I know it is not a proper way, but which may let your computer to recongnize your iPod) your iPod from the computer and replug again for few times, until your computer showing an iPod icon on the desktop - amazing it did in my case
5. Reformat your iPod by using Disk Utility
6. Reinstall the latest iPod update software
Bear in mind that you will loss all your songs in your iPod so make sure you backup your songs
By the way are you connect your iPod with XP or Mac? I have experience that the XP's formatted iPod got recognize in Mac machine and vice versa, then you can format the iPod before your reinstall your prefer iPod update PC or Mac

IPod Updater does not recognize iPod Nano

I installed the iTunes while charging my new iPod Nano 4GB from my USB port. iPod worked and was recognized during this process. After successfull ejecting and disconnecting I got the 'Folder icon with an exclamation point' in the iPod display. I followed the Apple hint on their www.apple.com/support/ipod homepage and downloaded the latest software iPod Updater (2006-06-28) and updated from 1.1 to iPod nano 1.2. In this process the Updater ended with saying that the software was updated, but that I had to wait for the iPod to quit/release the process, and it never did. It says 'Do not disconnect'. After ½ a day of waiting I had to disconnect it anyway. I thaught of 'Restore' the factory software but now Updater will not even see my iPod when I connect it. The Updater freezes and I have to 'End Process' from the Task Manager. iPod display keeps saying 'Do not disconnect' and shows a small 'sun' in the upper left corner with 'sunbeams rotating around the sun'. Can't find this symbol anywhere. Can't eject the iPod by software from neither the iTunes nor the 'Safely remove hardware' utility. When I pull out the plug from the iPod it resets and shows the Apple log and prompts me for selecting a language. The iPod 'About' panel shows that I have updated to software 1.2
I tried to follow this link down to the 'Remove iTunes' point, but no success sofar:

I have the same problem after update to sw 1.2.
And I have successfully get it back to normal by re-format the iPod-drive.
If you see windows recognise the iPod-drive. Try to re-format it (use FAT32). If you are success to reformat it, Ipod updater will recognise it and you can now do a 'Restore' to create the file structure back again for the Ipod-drive.
I continue to use the updated sw, v1.2. And hope it does not cause more problem as this one.

Who kills your iPod after the installation of iPod updater?

Hello all,
First, sorry for my poor English. I am not a professional nor a technician and I could be wrong, so please correct me. There are many problems reported mainly from the PC users that their iPod can't be recognized nor mounted after the installation of the latest iPod updater. Most of them claimed that the iPod updater kills their beloved iPods. Before we jump to a conclusion, we must understand what is iPod, and how does the iPod update work.
I believe that iPod equals a basic computer and need a OS in order to communicate with the PC. Installation the Updater will format the Hard disk of the iPod and then install the simple OS, so if we open the iPod updater file, it will show a window with two buttons i.e. Restore and Update, an Update is to copy the latest OS over the old version, but the Restore will format the hard disk before it install the OS over it. And importantly, during this process, the iPod needs sufficient of power to complete the upgrade, however, the problem comes just after the format, and the PC's USB (only 2 will work not 1.1) does not supply the stable power,even some cases that iPod does not get charge in the half way of installatin (a proper installation, you will see a running bar showing on the iPod screen just after the format), so you can imagine a hard disk got format but only got an uncompleted OS, of course, the iPod would not get recognized and mounted, and do not manage to communicate with the computer. At this stage the iPod will show a Sad iPod icon, a folder with exclamaiton points or a battery charging icon.
So, what would you do when it reach at this stage, a Reset would not work, and you would not able to do the Restore as the iPod is totally unrecognized by the computer.
Therefore, is there anyway to solve this problem, in my opinion and from my past experience, the answer is "yes", the simple way is to put your iPod in Disk Mode, when it plug to the computer, it will show as an external Hard Disk, you must fix it by doing a format (RESTORE would not work at this stage as it still can't recognized and mounted), in Mac we can use "Disk Utility" but the XP would not allow you to do the format in FAT32. After the formatting, replug the iPod with the computer, then it can be mounted and allow you to do the RESTORE.
In addition, I find an interesting point is, if your iPod formatted with a Mac, you will have better chance to be mounted with a PC, even your iPod does not complete the process of the installation of the iPod updater, and a PC formatted iPod will be likely to be fixed by a Mac as well.
How should we do before the update of the lastest software, for the XP user please do the following:-
1. Go to the system restore and create a check point in order to revert back to the previous version of the iPod updater, or do the back up using the 3rd party software such as Ghost or Go Back.
2. To have a test and make sure the PC's USB works properly. You can use the iPod or a PDA, and just make sure it got charged.
3. Have your iPod a full charge before the installation of the iPod updater
So, who is the main killer for the iPod?

Hello Shanker Ghimire,

IPod Updater can't find bundle folder Binary-5

I seem to be having trouble even restoring my factory settings on my 60g ipod. I of course have been having the sync problem as well, NOTHING has transferred and now, when I run the updater I log the following message in the console, "iPod Updater can't find bundle folder Binary-5" I have no idea what this means. Also, when running disk utility I get the following: "Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Invalid B-tree node size
The volume needs to be repaired.
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
1 volume checked
0 HFS volumes verified
1 volume failed verification"
Suffice it to say my ipod no longer appears in Itunes 5.0.1 nor on my desktop but I can see it in System Profiler and (greyed out) in Disk Utility. Also I'm unable to run Software Update by the normal means, I have to do so with a "sudo" command in terminal in order to install anything. Is this a possible permissions issue as well? Does anyone have any ideas that can point me in the right direction for correction?
Thanks

Ok! Simple.
Plug in your iPod to your new computer.
Go to Files and click "Transfer purchases from iPod"
Now, this is the simplest way to put your purchased music on another computer.
You will be asked to authorize the new computer to have the iPod's content.
Authorize it. You have a total of five computers that you can authorize.
However, if not all your music has been purchased from an iTunes store, like CD's, you can download (among many other programs of this kind) iPodRip. Once you have downloaded it, plug in your iPod and within one minute, it will transfer all the iPod's content, music as well as videos and playlists..., back to the computer.
To put everything back to iTunes, click on the Recover Songs icon. A box will appear asking you if you want to load everything back to iTunes and/or Hard Drive. Check both options (or at least iTunes).
Wait for a while, the time for your music to load back, and voilà! Your iTunes will be just like the one you had.
Try that and tell me if it helped!

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

I bought a second hand MacBook Air and it won't allow me to install updates as up pops the previous owners log in details. How do I go about amending this?

The seller was remiss in not properly preparing the Mac for sale. That task has now fallen to you. You will encounter continual problems until you perform the following. Ignore references to DVD since the MacBook Air has none.
If you are unable to do that contact the seller and request instructions, or arrange for its return and a refund of your costs.
Refer to What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
"Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
Next: Remove all your personal information by completely erasing the Mac's internal storage.
If your Mac shipped with a grey System Install DVD, start your Mac with that disc inserted in the optical drive while holding the c key to boot from it instead of its internal volume, which should be erased before selling it.
If your Mac did not ship with discs, boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘(command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
This method forces the Mac to download its originally installed OS from Apple's servers, which will not require an Apple ID to install.
Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Remove any partitions you may have created.
Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take.
The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu.
An Apple ID will not be required. If a prompt for an Apple ID appears, return to Step 5.
Do not create any user accounts.
When it finishes, shut down the computer.
If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD if one was included, and install the bundled apps. Apps bundled with newer Macs that shipped without discs cannot be transferred. Its new owner must purchase them from the Mac App Store using his or her own Apple ID.
If the Mac is being sold to someone outside the family consider the following additional information:
System Install DVDs that came with your Mac should remain with it forever, and must be included with the sale.
Consider including your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it. AppleCare stays with the equipment and is transferable.
Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
Once no longer in your possession, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

I can't install iPod updater 1.2

I just downloaded iTunes 7.0 and there was a pop-up asking me to install iPod Update but when I clicked 'Install' my iPod seemed to eject itself and showed main menu on the screen instead of 'Do not disconnect'.
Few sec later on the window, it said that iPod couldn't be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417)!?
What was that about?
And one more question, when you click eject iPod then you want to add some more songs, you quit iTunes and open it again, is iPod suppossed to respond and show that it's connecting with the iTunes or it's just dead and you have to pull the plug then plug in again!? Because lately mine doesn't seem to have any respond after ejecting, it used to, anyway.
Help!!!
Thanks

Forum Regular Hi There, i had the same issues and followed these instructions. They worked for me so, im hoping they will work for you.
1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status.

Problem with new iTunes & iPod update

Ever since installing the new iTunes update I've been having problems updating my iPod.
At first when I ran the new version of iTunes a message popped up telling me that I needed to update the software on my iPod. Upon trying to do that, another window popped up saying that 'iPod couldn't be mounted'.
So now my computer can't detect my iPod. I've restored my ipod which didn't help. I would reset my ipod but I can't even do that since when I run the ipod updater program it doesn't detect it. I've tried numerous times to see unplugging/plugging my ipod with the firewire and noticed the ipod hdd was whirring like crazy (and still no detection).
Since the last time I attempted doing that I've noticed that some of my mp3 files on my ipod have become corrupt and would stop halfway through play and just skip to the next song.
Any idea whats going on and how I could fix this??

iPod won't turn on.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try to restore it in disk mode.
