    When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.

  • Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?

    Where can I find ipod updater so iTunes 10 will see my scrollwheel 10G ipod?
    I used it exclusively on an old iBook. (POS from the beginning - bad motherboard, replaced, went bad just out of warranty. So I use it for only certain things.)
    Now I want to load the scrollwheel ipod (also POS, bad motherboard where the headphones plug in, can't be repaired) from my iTunes 10 machine.
    iTunes 10 does not see the ipod with it's 1.2.6 software.   iTunes 7.5 sees it but will no longer update itself or the ipod.
    - my sig:  Whatever we're talking about, please don't tell me to buy a new one unless you're willing to pay for it.  Thanks.

    A "scrollwheel 10G" (10 GB) iPod may be 3rd gen...  If it's a 3rd gen iPod, the one with a "scrollwheel" and four "touch" buttons in a row between the screen and wheel (that glow orange), it will only work properly with a FireWire connection.  Although it has a dock connector, it does not charge over a USB connection.  If you Mac has a FireWire 800 port, you can use an adapter to connect to the old FireWire (400) docking cable.
    Mine still works perfectly (it's had a few battery replacements) with the latest iTunes and Mac OS X 10.7.4.  I think it has great sound...

  • IPod Cannot be updated or mounted with ipod updater or itunes

    Every time i try to update my ipod on itunes i either get "The iPod "Tdunks iPod" cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read from or written to." or i will get "The iPod "Tdunks iPod" cannot be updated. Required file not found." When i try to use ipod updater i get " Can't mount iPod" I have an ipod nano 2gb black version and am runnign windows xp with the newest itunes and ipod updater.

    try this, change the drive letter of the ipod this can sometimes solve your issue change it to "M" or something like that this is how to change it, Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.

  • How to enable manual ipod updates with itunes 7?

    Hi,
    I perviously had a problem with muisc being greyed out on my ipod due to me syncing the it with my library, I easily fixed the porblem to allow manual updates of single tracks in ipod options.
    Since then I have got a macbook and stopped using windows, so I had to reformat my ipod and sync the songs to start with, but not everything will fit and I want to add tracks I really like and remove those I dont like so much, but with itunes 7 all I can seem to do it sync my library with my ipod due to the introduction of the ipod menu and disappearance of the ipod opitons section.
    Does anyone know how I can change this? please help! =)
    thanks,
    Sarah

    Don't feel stupid. You're not the only one who was wondering how to set the iPod to manually update in iTunes 7

  • Why can't I get my third Ipod updated in Itunes?

    Can't get my third Ipod update to new ios version. Why?

    My first Ipod, 32 gig, was updated with Itunes and the updates were fine. Then I got a 64 gig  Ipod and it was updated fine.  Then I got an Ipad and started updating it with no problems . . . . until an update of itunes last year.  I can't quite remember when, but I'm thinking I read that I could only have two ios update per Itunes. I can use Itunes for sync and monitoring my apps, but no updates were permitted. My other question is, Can I start up another small lap top with Itunes and use my account to update my third Ipod?

  • Slow Ipod update with itunes

    When ever i plug in my ipod to update with itunes it takes FOREVER. Why is this? Can I help this and make it faster? I have alot of video podcast and movie content thet changes alot so is that why its sooooooooooo slow. Just to let you know, the computer itself isnt slow. Its one of the fastest ive ever used. PLEASE HELP!!! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    I've been frustrated w/ the speed for a long time.
    When I first got my video ipod it took over 24hours to initially load it. This was w/ only 10-12GB of music.
    The other week I had to reinit my ipod and fully reload it. This time I had approx 12GB of tunes, and tons of video files. Total load size around 50GB. This time it took just over 12 hours.
    I discovered that the video interface of the Windows version of iTunes is a CPU hog.
    Minimize iTunes while its loading your iPod. This more than doubled my data transfer rate to the iPod (over USB2.x)
    fyi, I run an old PCI ATI graphics adapter. My friends w/ way faster graphics never complain about the speed issue.
    On older versions of iTunes I also found that it helped to set all the iTunes processes affinity to the boot strap proc (first processor typically as Windows sees them). This had helped w/ speed, but also helped eliminate blue screens. The need to do this seems to have been eliminated in the v7.x iTunes.

  • IPod Updater without iTunes

    Sooooooo, you can't update your iPod without iTunes now?
    Sounds like Microsoft OS/Internet Explorer type thing.
    I DO NOT WANT ITUNES. It kills computers, it is not even close to being the best music organizing and playing software, and it is a pig on the PC.
    But I do want to get the most up to date updater.
    Shockingly, I use a 3rd party software to sync my iPod, one that is WAY better than iTunes and is no drain to the system, one that leaves my song information THEY WAY I WANT IT (Jimmy buffett is not country, Porcupine Tree is not rock, etc...). Anapod Explorer kills iTunes in every category and I have absolutely no need to download music from the iTunes store.
    So why do I have to install it to update my iPod?
    Apple, quit GOING BIG BROTHER ON US and let us download an updater without iTunes.
    oh, and I had to reboot my mac all the time, unlike your commercials say.
    Gateway m685   Windows XP Pro   Also running Vista, and IT ROCKS

    1. Because it kills PC's. There are too many problems with it. It is a drain on the system. etc...
    2. As the IT person at a company that does not want users accessing the web for music, we do not allow the install of iTunes on machines. We allow people to plug their iPod into their machines to charge, or run the updater if they die while at work, but do not allow music to be downloaded or purchased online. Therefore we do not want to install iTunes just to get the updater.
    3. For home use, it is not even close to being the best music organization software. Once iTunes touches a file I have labeled and named in another software, it wants to change it and rename it and so on. It also puts a lock on music that you download, which shockingly, I do not like because I have 4 iPods, 6 computers, and to other systems that access my music, so I would like to be able to use that music on all MY machines. Every time iTunes updates, it likes to take over and I do not like that. No thanks, I don't want it on my machine.
    I found a link to get the last updater on another site and in Apple support as well:
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipodupdater20060628.html
    it is still one of the most downloaded items, so I must not be the only one. Since Apple forgets they put out a previous version of their products, I don't see any updater improvements to my 1g, 2g, 4g and 5g iPods, so I think I am pretty set by just using the old updater.
    Thanks for your help.

  • HT203216 Can you remove contacts from an ipod updated with iTunes 11 software?

    Does anyone know how you can remove all contacts from an iPod under the new iTunes 11 software?  We sync to one family account and the kids don't want my contacts - how can you delete them?  We can't find the area to select to eliminate the sync of the contacts when the iPod is synced to our account.  Anyone able to help?

    itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
    You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
    You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
    Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

  • IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

    There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
    I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
    Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
    Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
    Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
    Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
    Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
    Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
    Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
    Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
    Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
    Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
    Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
    Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

    I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
    I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
    For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.

  • Ipod not recognised by itunes or ipod updater

    In the last week, each time i have tried to put music onto my ipod it has crashed my powerbook, and then the most recent time i plugged it in itunes said to use ipod updater and reset to factory settings. It no longer shows up in itunes at all and when it try to run the updater it says "plug in the ipod you wish to update" however when i do this, the updater does not acknowledge that it has been plugged in. It does however still mount and is perfectly functional as a portable hard drive, but there is no music on it anymore!!!!

    Check these out.

  • Ipod classic 80gb will not connect after update to itunes 7.5

    I just updated to itunes 7.5 and i cannot get the device to sych anymore. it connects and then automatically ejects after I plug it in. I still have another computer with itunes 7.4 and i will use that until i get it fixed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes to no avail. I did get it to connect for a while last night, but today it just keeps ejecting. I had charged it fully last night before getting it to connect to the one w/ 7.5. Maybe it is going into this thing someone had where it is drawing too much power. Good God, this is my first apple, and for the life of me I will never buy another. What a bunch of crap. I never had any problems like this with my Creative Labs. Too bad I broke it.

    I had the following situation: I`m running Vista on a Sony Laptop with iTunes 7.3 and a 60GB Ipod connected. Everthing works fine!
    Than I bought a 80GB Ipod, updated to Itunes 7.5 - and nothing works! I have 42Gb music in my library.
    I tried everything, spend some nights to get this thing running - nothing.
    I´m "glad" to hear that I´m not the only one having problems.
    But my question is: What is Apple doing? No comments in this forum, nothing on the website. What am I supposed to do now? Spending €250 and waiting for the day it will work? Doesn´t Apple now that there are not alone any more? That there are competitors? I´m really angry!

  • 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.

    when you find yourself in this situation, first download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and use it to remove installation registry entries for your Quicktime, iTunes and Ipod Updater:
