Ipod Updater Need Help

I have a dmg file from the download and it will not install.
What program should i use to install this?

Select the mpkg in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under the Open With section, change the setting to the Installer and then click Change All. If you don't see the Installer in the list of options, use Pacifist to extract the Installer from your Mac OS X installation disks or updaters. You can also use Pacifist to extract the updater directly, but no receipt will be created for the updater if you do this. Without the receipt, some parts of Mac OS X may not realize that the updater has been installed, and the Repair Permissions command won't check or repair permissions on the updater's files.

  • Unsure about doing 4.2 ipod update - need help please!

    When I plug my ipod touch into my mac and indicate that I do want to do the 4.2 update the following message appears 'Updating to 4.2 will delete all media, including itunes store purchases. to preserve your media apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve apps, contacts, calendars, text messages and other settings. please don not interrupt the update which may take an hour or more'....... my question is, should I do this update?? From this message is sounds as though my ipod will be totally wiped clean. Is that what will happen? I don't sync when I plug in my ipod, I manually manage my music so I've read others comments regarding their success in unplugging their ipod after their update and replugging it back in and once it syncs all the music is there, playlists too. But since I don't sync I am concerned about mine. What is the best thing for me to do?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I'm not an advanced computer person - I consider myself an 'advanced beginner' and I'm really nervous about messing this up.

    I just did the 4.2 update and now EVERYTHING is gone off my ipod - music, apps EVERYTHING!!! What do I do??? How do I get it back??? This stinks. I'm completely lost and I'm really frustrated. Please help

    I lost my iPod and need help finding it. It took me a long time to save my money for someone to come and still it please help me

    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.

  • Getting an ipod but need help

    so i will travel to another state and i will be with my aunt that doesnt have a computer and of course no internet. so i wanted to know if there is any place where i can tranfer music to it. like an apple store? please i need help

    It would probably be best to find a family friend who can give you some time on their computer but here's some additional advice. By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and playlists", and it links to a specific computer to update. To use it on multiple computers you need to change the update method to to "manually manage songs and playlists":
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually

  • Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

    i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

    Julia,
    You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
    Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

  • Ipod dissabled/ need help on how to fix it!

    My Ipod has been disabled because it wouldnt take my passcode. It said connect to Itunes and i need help on how to get back into it now. Can someone please help me?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    I could not read the blue text in your initial post, it is unreadable. In the future stick with black in normal font too.

  • Apple iPod Update! HELP!!

    Alright, this isn't really in this category, but when i was installing the ipod update it was fine then suddenly it started into the reset loop. It turns on and you see the apple symbol and then the light turns on then all of a sudden it cuts off and does the samething over again. This really ticks me off because apple is the one that caused this problem and it would have been fine if they would have just stopped pestering me to install this stupid thing. Sombody please tell me what I can do or who I can call.

    i dont know how to sync music to my ipod. i need help

    You can sync music to the iPod by connecting it your computer, selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then using the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music library to sync to it. There are some instructions on syncin music on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351

  • Major iPod Problems, Need Help Solving

    One day I was casually syncing my iPod video with my computer to get a few new songs uploaded onto it.
    Suddenly, the iPod freezes up, shuts itself off, restarts, and magically it has forgotten everything and pretends it is a brand new iPod.
    No problem, I think, believing it will just need to load the songs again and everything will be fine.
    However, this is not the case.
    The iPod would then continue to load all the songs, shut down after loading them, restart and again pretend it is brand new and lad all the songs again.
    This continues to happen again and again.
    I try to update my iPod, figuring it may just be a version error or somesuch nonsense. The updater refuses to work and actually causes my iPod to crash, saying it has a diskwrite error.
    It refuses to "System Restore" on my computer, so I run the "System Restore" on another window computer that I own. And it runs just fine, making the iPod load songs once more.
    And I think, problem solved!
    However, again, this is not the case.
    I load it once, everything goes fine.
    The nxt day, after buying more songs, I try to upload and after the upload, the iPod shut off, restarts, and pretends to be new once more.
    I go through the "System Restore" process again, but afterwards, the iPod all out refuses to upload my music fully, shutting off about halfway through the process each time.
    And now whenever it is plugged into my computer, windows says it is unreadable and must be reformatted, so I run the updater and it says that there is an "iPod manager internal error" which could basically be another language considering my only basic knowledge of computers.
    Is there any way to repair my iPod at home? Or must it be sent in to Apple?

    GREAT NEWS!
    Last night, through some very thorough digging in the
    "Search Discussions", I found the answer and now my
    iPod is running perfect once more!
    Thank you very much for your help b noir. Without
    you, and many others on this board who had their
    problems solved by equally helpful people, I would
    still be digging through Apple's support section to
    no avail.

  • Many Problems with Ipod! Need Help =[

    Ey um there has been lots of issues with my Ipod!! (5th gen 30gigs)
    Conditions:
    -Ipod skips songs when playing(the songs arn't corrupted)
    -Ipod freezes occasionally when viewing photos or playing music
    -Ipod at times wont show on itunes 7
    -When Ipod has connected to computer, and shown in Itunes, Itunes call my Ipod “Ipod” when it is supposed to be called “RnA”(and it won’t restore…Either my computer freezes or it would go on 4evr but not restore)
    -When trying to turn on Ipod, a msg appears “Use Itunes to restore” When I plug and connect to Itunes, It says This Ipod needs to be reformatted for your pc. ( when I press update, my computer freezes, or would take forevr…and not update
    -When I try to restore my Ipod my computer freezes or it would take forevr but not work
    My questions:
    -I bought my Ipod during the summer, and it was bought online from my dad, but he accidentally threw receipt away…Can I still replace my Ipod? Or find repairs?
    -Where is the nearest Apple store in SanFrancisco?! I can’t find any!
    -HOW DO I FIX MY IPOD?! T.T
    What Happened:
    Ok, last month, my Ipod was working perfectly until one day it froze… So I reset it. But after a few days when I connect my Ipod to my computer, it charges and everything is fine, but when I click disconnect Ipod on Itunes, or Disconnect when using Safely Remove Hardware…It works but then my Ipod still says Do not disconnect. But I disconnected it anyway and reset it. And it was working. And I have been having this problem a lot wen I updated to Itunes 7.
    Then 2-3 weeks later, my Ipod started having many problems… It would skip songs even though my songs aren’t corrupted… And when I look at photos, It would freeze for around 20 seconds, and my Ipod turns laggy. So I reset it and it’s ok but then it happened again the next day. And these problems kept going on but I ignored it T.T
    And now, I can’t use my Ipod at all! It says I need to use itunes to restore…So when I connect it to my computer, It would appear on Safely remove hardware, but Itunes would pop up and have no Ipod in it. So I tried disconnecting and reconnecting around 5 times. Then it worked! Except, Itunes call my Ipod “Ipod” wen it is supposed to be called RnA. And I try to restore it but it wont work! Please help me! ASAP! T.T and thanks!
    Ipod with video (5th Gen) with 30 gigs   Windows XP  

    Please don't shake it. It has a hard drive in it and by doing that you may damage the heads. That is the clack noise the heads hitting the platter. Not a good thing.
    Go here to start a service request.
    http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    They will send you a box pre-paid to send it back in with. If you need a copy of your receipt Amazon customer service should be able to help. I have never been asked for one but you never know. If you have the packing slip from amazon? This can be used as a proof of purchase.
