Ipod update taking forever

How long does it take to download the latest update to the ipod mini over usb. At this point the windows machine has been running for at least an hour and says it closed when finished. Is this normal?

It shouldn't take too long. Go ahead and reset the mini and see remove it when the apple logo shows up as long as the computer just says to wait for the iPod to finsih its restore process...

  • During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?

    During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?

    Your model MB528LL ipod is a 2G and can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. many apps now require 4.3 or later.
    You said "will not use the WiFi connection that I have looged on to it continues to tell me that it can't use anything without a secure connection."
    Just what are you doing when you get that message and what is the exact wording of the error message?

    taking forever to sync my ipod classic

    Same problem and there appears to be multitudes of us out there who are having sync problems with the latest iTunes update. You would think Tech Support would be on this.

  • Ipod nano taking forever  to charge

    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation.  Almost a month ago, I was planning on taking it along
    with me on a trip. It had not been charged.  When I went to listen to it the battery was dead.
    Ever since then, it has never been fully charged. Please help!

    Please don't confuse the issue! The original poster said *"This has been charging for about 8 hours now"* NONE of the activities you mentioned should be taking that long...

  • Yosemite 10.10.2 update taking forever...?

    The update's been running for nearly an house now...
    Is this normal or am I screwed?

    Thanks for your reply.
    During my first attempt, the progress bar showed 100% (solid blue) before the download even began.  The activity monitor showed no activity for the download for more than 1 hour.
    I eventually called apple, and they had me shut down the machine and restart it in what amounts to "safe mode."  I was then able to download the update, with the progress bar working as it should.
    It's a 436 MB file, with the download speed on Apple's side limited to roughly 40 KB/sec.  The entire process on the second attempt required more than 2.5 hours, including download, installation, and the subsequent permissions repair that I always perform after downloading new software.

  • Corrupt iPod Restore taking forever !!

    iTunes told me that my iPod Classic was Corrupt so i run a restore and it started syncing everything again and seemed to be moving quite fast now however 12 hours later it seems to take a couple minutes on just one song !! what can i do ? it's not even half finished this could take days !!

    Quit, forcibly if needed. See Corrupt iPod classic. If the stats are OK try the DFU restore method and then the break up large transfers method to reload the media. I suggest you reboot the computer before attempting to load up the device.

  • OS X 10.6.4 Update taking FOREVER to download

    Just got a brand new Macbook a few days ago, running OS X 10.6.3. When I run software update and try to download the 10.6.4 update, it will literally take days to download. I tried going directly to the Apple Support downloads with the same results. This is infuriating! Anyone experience this or have any clue what's going on?

    This sounds like an Internet connection speed issue, not a permissions or damaged OS one. Software Update will attempt to download the smallest version of the OS update possible, but it is still likely to be 500 MB or more for 10.6.4. The combo OS updates are the largest, so if the issue is with your connection speed, trying to download one will only make things worse.
    However, Software Update will also try to download any other applicable updates for your Mac, for example for iTunes, unless you tell it not to. Thus, you might try clicking the 'show updates' button in Software Update & deselecting any others. You can install them later, after 10.6.4 is installed.
    For Internet download speed issues, check your network settings & make sure you are using appropriate ones to connect to the Internet & to any router or access point provided by your ISP or that you have provided & configured yourself. You can also use any of several online speed tests to check your download bandwidth. To find them, search the web with Google or another search engine using the phrase, "Internet speed test."

  • Latest snow leopard update taking forever

    Seems like the latest snow leopard update is stuck on a blue screen with the turning wheel thing. Is it possible to restart the upgrade without messing up my MacBook?

    It might get messy but eventually you won't have a choice. Try a hard restart into Safe Mode:
    Be sure the computer is shut down by using the hard Power button.
    Press the power button again after one minute.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Then use your machine's original software installation disk to do a Repair Permissions.
    Restart your machine after removing the disk and go to the Apple Store/Support/View All Support Downloads. Select the 10.6.5 Combo Updater and use that to attempt another download/install.
    Repair permissions again using Disk Utility.
    Perform a backup after checking all is working well.

  • Snow Leopard Comulative Updates Taking Forever

    I just upgraded my old laptop to Snow Leopard from Leopard.  That process only took one hour.  The updates however, are already on the third hour.  It downloaded them really quickly, but it is stuck on the nebulous purple and pink background with no progress indication.   How can I tell if it is hung up?  I do miss my hard drive activity light.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

    i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

    If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
    As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
    A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Installed the OS update.  Now my 'sleep' command is taking forever to take effect.

    Installed the OS update.  Now my 'sleep' command is taking forever to take effect.

    I'm having the same issue. My iPod video now blinks on and off with the apple logo every 3-5 seconds. The HD clicks as well, but nothing happens. It has been like this for about an hour now, and my iTunes does not even recognize that my iPod is connected. Is there something wrong with the iPod update that we are not aware of? And if so, how can I restore my software without having to reinstall all of my songs and videos? This is really frustrating, and there should be some kind of warning about problems that can occur with new software updates.
