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 cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."  It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8.  What should I do?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

  • IPad 2 will not update from version 4.3.5 (8L1).

    I got an iPad 2 from work and it will not update from version 4.3.5. There isn't even a software update option in settings. I have reset and erased it a few times, and still no update option. I have plugged it into my computer to try to update it that way and every time iTunes prompts me to download and update the latest version, it loads for a few seconds and then I get an iTunes message that says "The IPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your newtwork connection is active, or try again later." the network connection IS active, I can use safari, and I have "tried again later" and still no update. PLEASE HELP!

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT4623 how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    What do you mean unlocked one?  You are talking about software updates here and software updates are free and for a 3gs you can only update to 6.1.3 as you have already been told.
    If you are talking about phones themselves, then this is totally different and you need to be more specific or get your question right.
    There is no unlocked software update - it s free.

  • My iPhone will not update from version 4.1

    My iPhone will not update from version 4.1, everytime I try to update on the iTunes iPhone screen, the response says "your iTunes version is current"....I am not trying to update iTunes, I just want to update my iPhone. How do I fix this?

    You must purchase 10.5.8 from an Apple store, either in person or online. You can also update to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) if you have an Intel Mac. The current version is Lion, (10.7), but you must have Snow Leopard installed to upgrade to Lion. You also need an Intel Mac.

  • UWL: Only Tag with alert after updating from version 9 to 15

    the universal worklist shows only the area of alerts and no Task and Tracking area. Can someone tell me how to activate it? I think that I have already seen it before I updated from version 9 to 15.
    Thx, Max

    The problem is that in Overview->Today there is a category with the alerts but the tracking and tasks are missing and I have no glue how to make it visible.
    any ideas?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Can I Delete Previous Versions of iPod Updater from my Powerbook?

    Hello,
    I am running out of room (quickly!) on my harddrive of my Powerbook. So I decided to do some spring cleaning and delete old and unnecessary files and applications from my Powerbook.
    I noticed under the Utilities section, there are about 6 versions of the "iPod Updater". Can I safely delete all prior versions (except the most recent) from my computer without any negative consequences? Will I still be able to use iTunes, my iPod, etc without problems? Are these old versions not needed?
    The versions currently on my harddrive are:
    iPod Updater 2006-01-10
    iPod Updater 2005-03-23
    iPod Updater 2004-11-15
    iPod Updater 2004-08-06
    iPod Updater 2004-04-28
    iPod Software 2.1 Updater
    Thank you!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    If your iPod is working normally, you don't need to keep old versions of the iPod updater around; the most recent one should be kept. If you delete one of the updaters, it is safe to delete the accompanying receipt from the /Library/Receipts/ folder.

  • Can you remove old versions of iPod updater from your PC?

    I was attempting to clean up my PC and remove unwanted software and I noticed in add/remove programs that all of the iPod updater versions I have ever installed are still on my PC even though I only need the latest version. I tried to remove the older versions and my PC won't let me. Can you remove the older updater versions from your PC and if so, how do I go about doing this without getting an error message?

    It gives me an error transfer or something like that. There is no stand-alone uninstall - when you go through add/remove, the installshield starts and then I get that error. I was thinking about just deleting it via windows explorer but I don't want to create more problems. I just think it's silly to have it on my PC if it's never going to be used again.

  • 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.

  • Can't update from version 3.6 to any newer versions? Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

    Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Professional with all updates, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. I am using Comcast. The following add-ons are installed in Firefox:DowloadHelper4.9.7, ExtendedCopyMenu(fixed version)1.6.1c and NoScript.
    I tried installing V8.1 and it would either freeze or close. I have tried opening it in safe mode but Firefox would not open.
    I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
    Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

    Helo Everyone
    I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
    It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
    Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
    Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
    Thank you all as i await your kind solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
