IPod Update to version 1.2.3

I recently reinstalled Windows on my comapaq presario. I had transferred my music to another hard drive and have moved my music back into itunes. I authorized this new "computer". When I plugged my iPod into my computer it asked to install software update 1.2.3 for the iPod. It has now been update for at least 30-45 minutes. Is this normal or is something wrong?

IPod Updater Latest Version

I have successfully downloaded iTunes 7, however, I cannot seem to get the latest version of iPod Updater to install. When I attempt, I get a message that "updater cannot be installed because the firmware file does not exist". Does anyone know what I should do? I have tried to download the latest version of iPod Updater, but the most current one I can find is 06-28-06 and there appears to be a more recent version that I cannot find. I cannot update my iPod with the game I have purchased unless I install the latest version.
Thank you for your help.

iTunes is supposed to be taking care of keeping out iPods' firmwares up to date from now on, without the need for a separate "iPod Software Updater".
It seems to be rather experimental and failure-prone on iTunes for Windows, however.
As of right now, there is no newer iPod Software Updater. It is available exlusively as a part of iTunes 7.

IPOD UPDATER, FROM VERSION 3.1 TO NEWEST UH OH

My ipod kept asking me to update my ipod from 3.1 to the newer version. Everytime when I would plug it in it would ask me then say [CANCEL] [DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL] [DOWNLOAD ONLY] so this morning I thought I would download and install. So I did that, and when it was done it said it was corrupted, AND ALL MY 800 SONGS WERE GONE. And since I manually put them on, they are nowhere to be found. So it said it was done, yet it still said (and still does) say that it is 3.1 but everything is updated!!! So i tried to restore it, but it said "if you restore, everything will be erased" well it's not like everything already isn't erased. Anyway to get this back? What did i do wrong! I followed the instructions. Was I supposed to click download only??
Thanks.

Can you do this:
Go to Settings>About
If it says 0 Songs but also says something like "Capacity: 4GB, Available: 3.5GB", then you should either try restarting your iPod. Hold down Menu and Select until you see the Apple logo. If that doesn't work, I'll think of something else.
You didn't necessarily do anything wrong. iTunes 7 and the newer firmware is a bit wonky right now.

I need iTunes 5 and 2nd latest version of iPod Updater

I need the download of iTunes 5 which I found no results. If anyone has, could you kindly tell me the link? I don't want the latest version of iPod Updater, but the next one before the latest version.
I need to solve my problem asap.

Gabriel,
Gonna be tough to find iTunes 5 when there's now iTunes 6. You don't want 6??
When it comes to the iPod Updater, the version before the latest is 9-25-2005 (or something like that).
How come you don't want the latest versions? Looks like the ones you want are not around any more.

Latest iPod updater: WARNING

Hi,
As a teacher constantly switching from my iMac at home to PCs at school, I have been using my windows formatted iPod on both kinds of computers, the automatic synchronization being done on the mac at home.
I performed the latest iPod update (windows version) today, and my mac could no longer synchronize to iPod.
I had to go back to the former windows version of the iPod updater (2006-01-10).
Now everything is back to normal.
So, if you want to go on using your iPod in both worlds, beware!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

"So, if you want to go on using your iPod in both
worlds, beware!"
Apple isn't stupid. The whole reason they formatted
the iPod for Windows is so you can have the
best of both worlds. Something must be messed with
yours.
Of course Apple isn't stupid... and their updates have never caused any problem...
What am I to imagine such an occurence?
As you suggested, "mine" must be messed, though it is currently working fine with the previous update.
I will therefore trash it rightaway and order a new one, which I will duly update with the latest windows updater.
With thanks & best wishes,

I can't open my iPod library in iTunes, the app doesn't show the device at all, no error message, nothing, but windows 8 opens it like it would a flash drive. It has worked for me before just fine and both have the most updated software versions.

I have a second generation ipod touch that will not update past version 3.1.3, when i check updates it says it is up to date but im quite sure i should be able to get at least a 4.2 ios update. If someone could please help id really appreciate it!!

I have made sure that my ipod is second generation, and i have tried to resotr it twice to fix the problem. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it. I went to the apple store in metrotwn and the gentlemen didnt even look at the ipod, just told me that it was maybe to old of a generation to support updates. Funny thing is my boyfriend had it before me and he updated it past 3.1.3 no problem.

- Are you sure you have a 2G iPod and not a 1G? Yucan can itell the difference here by the shape of the black antenna cover on the back of the iPOd.

i have an ipod touch 2g version 4.3, is it possible to update to ios 5, if so how do i do it, could anyone send me a link, that a dummie could use, i need help

A 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1
A 3G to 5.1.1
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

IPod updater/restore proble w/ latest 2006-06 version - FIXED

Alright kids peep this!
Background- have a Gateway 506GR running Winblows XP Home. Nothing special on it except I use both XPlay 2.0 and iTunes. Everything runs dandy. I have had 2 iPod Mini and a friend has a first gen Ipod U2 version. Updated them, restored them all gravy. Again, no probs...
SO, the wife gets a an iPod Nano... thats when the problems start kicking in. Plug it in and it says we need to update to the 2006-06 updater. Cool. I did it with my Mini so I think this will be easy breazy... WRONG. Muf*cking Nano keeps freezing up. Updater freezes up, restore has no chance. Seems that something is fouling up the system here. Also get the error that cannot write to drive "G", the nano removable drive, sweet!
I uninstall EVERYTHING - iTunes, updaters, XPlay, start up PC in safe mode, turn off firewall (ZoneAlarm), disable virus, remove MusicMatch... nothing. Tried to do the update /restore by manually putting the Nano in Disk Mode and still nada. Oh yeah, took it to the Apple "Guru's at the Stanford store and ValleyFair in SJ and they have NO CLUE. They try some simple fixes and of course get nowhere. They just end up giving me another. I went through 2 this way.
I got real desperate now. I search Google and found this - http://screwdave.blogspot.com/2006/05/ipod-nano-updater-3-23-really-needs.html and of course no dice there either. Maybe it will work for you.
OK, FINALLY peep out DSLreports, the cats there are freaking real GURUS man, and found some guy with the same issue as me. The guy tried EVERYTHING the forum was throwing his way and he had no luck. One casually mentions that he may have a power supply issue regarding the USB 2.0 ports on his PC. "Hmmmmmm", I think that this is just stupid enough to work. I go to Radio Shack and buy a crappy $20 USB 2.0 hub with an external power supply and plug it in. Removed iTunes, all the updaters, and Xplay and start from scratch. Re-install iTunes 6.0.4.2 and use update 2006-03, then re-install XPlay 2.9. Plugin the Nano and Whamo! it freaking works. Sweet.

Same thing happened to me (well my 30gb video iPod XD) And to a lot of people, apparently. My iPod has been comatose (I REFUSE to say it's dead) since Monday after the iPod Update. It's NEVER had problems before, so I lay the blame on the Update. It took forever to "update" (I had it in for hours) and when I finally dced it (prematurely apparently?? I don't know how leaving it in a couple hours and then taking it out makes it premature but okay iPod Updater...) it flashed to the Apple screen, which I then reset, and now it's in its comatose state
I have really nothing to contribute but to say it's happened to me, too XD I've had no luck at other threads so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated Thanks

IPod Updater 2006-06-28 Software Version 1.1.2 causes video lock up

My 5th generation iPod was working fine until I loaded this update. I had it spontaniously reset twice in a row while playing two different video podcasts. The last 3 videos I've tried will cause it to just lock up after a minute or so and I have to reset it.
Is there a way to go back to software version 1.1.1 without restoring back to factory defaults? It would take over a day to reload 50GB back to my iPod over a USB 1 connection. Is there any other fix to this reset and lock up problem?

HELP
Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version. When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating.
I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod. (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

Thank you for you input so far.....
I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
Have I got that correct. I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!??? or am I missing something?
Thanks
Frustrated even more now!!

When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

IPod update Version 1/2

I recently updated my iPod 60 GB with version 1.2 and now the screen has lines, the iPod locks up, and I am having difficulty syncing. I am currently restoring and it seems to be progressing, but there are still lines on the screen; graphic garbage. Any suggestions?

I spent an unpleasant several hours trying to get my 30G (5th gen) iPod working properly with my Honda Accord Music Link after updating to version 1.2 of the firmware. The iPod was not recognized by the Music Link (this is a known issue, unfortunately I didn't know about it until I had updated). My PC runs WinXP and I had the same problems that others had trying to get back to version 1.12 of the firmware, since iTunes 7 wouldn't allow me to do it. I finally did a Windows System Restore to a point prior to the iTunes/iPod firmware upgrade. This got me back to iTunes 6.0.5, but my iPod was still at 1.2. But at least iTunes 6.0.5 allowed me to run the 1.12 firmware. Then I re-installed iTunes 7, so I could access my libraries (it changed all my libraries, even the old ones, so that iTunes 6 couldn't read them). I had to fool around with various versions of QuickTime during all of this, too. I love my iPod and have been impressed with the Macs I've seen lately, but the difficulties that I had simply restoring my iPod to where it was before the upgrade felt more like a Windows experience than an Apple experience. I've noticed that Mac users have also had troubles with the iTunes/iPod update. The worst part was that there was absolutely nothing anywhere on Apple's website to help me through the process, and I have already passed my 90 days of phone support. There's no excuse for that. I can accept that they issued software with some bugs, that happens to everyone, but even Microsoft issues workarounds as soon as they know there's a problem. In case anyone doubts that this is a widespread problem (or that Apple is aware of it), check out the "Popular Downloads" on Apple's support site, and you'll see that iTunes version 6.0.5 and iPod updater 2006-06-28 (version 1.12) are at the top of the list, with the new version of iTunes coming in 3rd. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that a lot of iPod owners are reverting to the older software.

Ipod nano has a problem to update to version 1.2 through Itunes7

I hate to say that I have tried to update to version 1.2 from 1.1.1 that I bought at CompUSA today.
I have failed several time to update that it does not update at all , just remained the version 1.1.1.
I am so tired to update this one. and I return it for refund, period.
I hate this bug that makes the wast of my times for holiday.

Can you still use your nano with version 1.1.1?
if so, this is a software problem and, rather than take your ipod back to the shop you would do better to use 1.1.1 and wait until apple issue a new update!
if it won't work even with version 1.1.1 then yeah, take it back by all means. I'm just playing devil's advocate and trying to save you a futile trip to the shop to replace your ipod with one that will have exactly the same problem!
there are alot of problems with ipod software at the moment, (I am back to 1.1.2 on my 5g ipod after having problems with 1.2 and1.2.1) but if we wait it out I guess they will sort it out!
