IPod Updater 2005-09-23 Update error

I have recently used the Apple iPod updater to update my click-wheel 40gig iPod, that is - I tried!
After pressing the update buttom everything went ok until I got a casual 'update error' message. Now I get the neat folder with an exclamation mark on my screen when I start the iPod and it is recognized by neither Windows nor Mac notebooks (or recognized as unformatted)!
I only have the option of 'restoring' i.e. formatting the drive. My Problem with this is that I have quite a few photos I took during a recent holiday in the Middle East on there (apart from the music I collected during the last year :-&.), because until Tuesday I only had notebook with a meagerly 10GB HDD.
Is there any way I can recover my files / revert to the previous software version?
The 'Geniuses' in the Apple Store London were pretty clueless behind their 'Genius-Bar' and looked like they could really use a drink (sadly not on offer at this bar...)
I upgraded from software version 3.0.2 if I remember correctly.
I really appreciate any help I can get!
Best,
Mark

It's a click wheel 40 GB iPod (b&w) and I updated from software version 3.0.2 - I think if it wasn't supported, the updater should not have started updating it!
What I am essentially looking for is a way to recover the data on my iPod...
Thanks,
Mark

  • I updated itunes to 10.4, my ipod touch was wiped clean then errored (2003) when attempting to restore, now my ipod is clear. I have tried disabling my antivirus, no luck.

    I updated itunes to 10.4, my ipod touch was wiped clean then errored (2003) when attempting to restore. Now my ipod is clear, when I turn it on I get the "Connect to itunes screen", this never goes. I have tried disabling my antivirus, to allow me to restore with no luck.
    When I go into itunes I get the message - itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes,
    how am I supposed to do this ?
    I would rather take the ipod to someone to do the restoration - I still have itunes with all of my downloads on my computer, I dont want to risk losing this as I can re-install onto my ipod when it is sorted.

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    Do you have access to another computer you can use to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?

  • IPod Touch, iOS 4.0 Update, Error 9, Error 20, Slow Sync, Sync Problems

    After wasting a week troubleshooting several problems with two iPod Touch 2Gs, I have come to this conclusion. If everything is working correctly on your iPod Touch under iOS 3.1.x, *DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 4.0*!!! Apple will not take any responsibility for the problems it causes (though technical support will assist if your product is under warranty), nor compensate you for the time, money, and gas expended in diagnosing and finding a work around to THEIR problem. And, after reading many blogs, boards, and forums, I am not the only one experiencing problems with their software. Anyway, here are the problems I encountered with resolutions.
    I tend to keep my computers very “CLEAN” and “ORGANIZED”. This was my configuration when EVERYTHING worked correctly (with a separate user account for each iPod Touch):
    Acer Aspire One
    Windows XP SP3
    CA Internet Security Suite 2010
    iTunes 9.2.1.4
    iPod Touch 2G iOS 3.1.x
    After receiving a notification to update the iPods to iOS 4.0 for a couple of months, I finally decided to “upgrade”. Everything seemed okay…download, extraction, installation, restore…until the final sync stage when it “froze” and eventually encountered an “iPod could not be restored…unknown error occurred (9)” error. This signifies that there is something wrong with the USB connection…it never had a problem before. Anyway, I followed the recommended resolutions which did not work. Finally had to “upgrade” the older iPod Touch to iOS 4.0 on my HP/Vista/Norton laptop, which ran the same version of iTunes. The “upgrade” was successful, so I performed the same routine on the newer iPod Touch, which was also successful. Unfortunately, once you “upgrade” to iOS 4.0, you cannot go back to iOS 3.1.x unless you jailbreak your iPod Touch…which voids the warranty!
    The next problem I encountered occurred when I tried to sync either iPod Touch to the Acer netbook. The older iPod had an “iPod cannot be synced…device timed out” error, while the newer iPod took almost 30 minutes to complete…and there was nothing to sync since everything was unchecked. Various testing combinations revealed that it would start okay, backup okay, sync apps and contacts okay, but “freeze” in the final sync stage. Apple technical support could not help since they repeated everything I already performed, and were stupefied! The local Apple Store (which is on the other side of the island from me) couldn’t help either, though the technician there mentioned that he did see a lot of strange issues with netbooks and iPods. After various trial and error combinations, I finally found something that would work. Boot the Acer, log on, DISABLE THE WIRELESS LAN, start iTunes, connect the iPod Touch, then ENABLE THE WIRELESS LAN…sync works. If you disconnect the iPod or exit out of iTunes, you’ll need to DISABLE THE WIRELESS LAN before starting iTunes and connecting the iPod again. Talk about pain in the rear!!!
    Well, I thought my troubles were over, but, iOS 4.0 is very creative at causing more. I finally got around to syncing my music, when what would happen…another “freeze”. This time, it would “freeze” when transferring my music from iTunes to the iPod, and eventually error with “iTunes could not copy…unknown error occurred (-20)”. Connecting all USB devices before booting computer, deleting all iPod backups, restarting all iPod/iTunes services, disabling firewall and snoozing AV protection…nothing worked. So, I finally uninstalled the CA Internet Security Suite, and I was then able to sync music from iTunes to the iPod. As a test, I reinstalled the CA Internet Security Suite, and synced the iPod using the process mentioned in the paragraph above. And it works…as long as I’m only syncing and not TRANSFERRING MUSIC FILES!
    I have not tried any other combination such as transferring apps or music from the iPod to iTunes, or syncing movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc. At this stage, I’m too busy, too tired, and brain damaged to troubleshoot further problems. But, I did notice one thing each problem had in common. It would “freeze” around the Bonjour process, which seemed to attempt network access. According to Apple technicians, the sync process should not access the network at all.
    Hope this helps those of you who are stuck at the various stages mentioned. If you have further information about Bonjour or any other problem I mentioned, please leave a comment. And for Apple, *ADMIT THE PROBLEM WITH iOS 4.0, AND FIX IT*!!!

  • The ipod cannot be synced, an unknown error (13014) ocurred - this is the error message I am getting when I am trying to transfer purchases from iPod. Problem is unless I transfer I am failing to update my IPod touch to iOS 6.0.1

    I need to update from 4.3.3 to 6.0.1 so that my apps can take in relevant updates and brun properly. However, update is failing midway on error -5000 and the only way seems to be transferring purchases on ipod to itunes as being suggested by onscreen prompt just when I am undertaking the update. Problem is I can't even do the trabsfer as IPod wouldn't sync properly....error 13014. Has anyone come across this before and resolved it successfully?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

    Thanks
    It should be on the CD that came with your ipod. If you're using Windows (don't know about macs), the updater installer keeps the previous versions which should be in your Start button.
    The original updater that came with most ipods may have an earlier date, but it's the same 1.0. Each updater services multiple ipod models, so just because the updater date changes, it doesn't necessarily mean that anything changed for your particular ipod. There's only been one update for the ipod 5G which is 1.1. Any version you have before that one will be the same.
    Check out your CD.

  • IPod Updater 2005-09-23

    My updater will not recognize my 30 g iPod now. I updated iTunes to the 5.0.1 version and it recognizes my iPod fine now, however said that it could not download some some songs because the software on my iPod needed to be updated. I installed the updated iPod Updater and now IT says that my iPod is not supported. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
    Any help is most appreciated.
    Barb

    I just downloaded the new iPod Updater 2005-09-23, trying to run the installation package, I get stuck on the "select a destination volume to install the software window"
    Can't install it on my iPod (where it is mend to go I believe??????, it is after all an iPod updater?????). And the reason it gives is that i need Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher. But I run 10.3.9, which, by my calculations, is higher.
    And when I choose to install on my HD, neither of the 2 options (System UI Server or iPod Updater 2005-09-23) highlight the install button.
    So I am stuck.
    When I open ITunes, it constantly tells me to install the software, otherwise I won't be able to copy songs I bought on iTunes to my Ipod.
    On top of that, the software that is on my Ipod at the moment, is version 2.2, which, apperently is up to date. (?)
    Please help!!!!!!!!!!

  • Shud iPOD Updator 2005-11-17 be download to iPOD neccessarily?

    Hi All:
    I have the iPOD Updator 2005-10-12 version on iPOD 30GB White Video. This is the default update, as I bought the iPOD very recently.
    Should the iPOD be updated with the latest Updater software neccessarily or only if there is a bug or something doesnt work correctly in my iPOD should I update with new version of software?
    Please update.
    Thanks.
    Anukul

    The latest ipod s/w is meant for the shuffle. It has nothing new for the video so I would not bother updating.
    To answer your question .. its never necessary to update the software as long as you are happy the way it works or there is some new feature on the update that you like

  • When I click update on Itunes to update my IPod Touch it says an error occured.

    When I update my Ipod it says that an error has occured. It has done that twice.

    If y are updating via Settings>General>Softwar update:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and updating via iTunes
    If you are updating via iTunes what does the error message say?
