Ipod Updater & wireless connection

I've been unable to download the latest 5th gen Ipod update through Itunes 7 over my wireless internet connection. Each time I click on the "Update" button I get a message saying my computer is not connected to the internet even though my wireless connection is up and running. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help.

  • IPOD To Wireless Connection

    Merry Xmas to ALL-
    Son has a new IPOD touch and is trying to connect to wireless connection in the house.The Ipod asks for the password to this connection, I have forgotten it. What can I do?
    Many thanks.

    You must reset your router.
    Depending on the model you have, the process will be different.
    Merry Christmas!

  • Time Capsule/iPod touch wireless connectivity

    Before I commit myself to buying an iPod Touch, probably after the September refresh, I would like to know if the Touch will automatically sync wirelessly with my Time Capsule network or do I have to manually toggle the 2.4GHz/5.0GHz bands under TC wireless preferences?
    The present, default settings are: 802.11n(802.11 b/g compatible)
    Thanks

    Do you really mean "sync" as in copy songs to the iPod, get play counts, transfer apps, etc.? The current iPod Touch doesn't do that. The only way actually sync the iPod is via USB cable.
    But if you mean will it connect wirelessly, then yes. I connect my iPod Touch to my network once in a while to surf the 'net.

  • Why does my ipod lose wireless connection

    So I bought this iPOD touch 3g, 8GB that was recently "refreshed" from Best Buy (i bought it from a private party after he received it  back). After charging it up I downloaded an app that I use to control a sonos music player. Problem is that the iPOD will not stay connected to my network. My wireless is a month old Netgear 802.11a/b/g/n router and all of the laptops in the house connect perfectly. the iPOD touch cuts in and out every minute or two.I went into the settings/general folder and did a network settings reset, but that did not cure the problem.Any suggestions?

    this could have countless reasons but it might be your to far from router your router might be haveing electrical problems or your ipod is trying to join to many networks

  • MY ipod mini dosnt connect to my computer

    Hello unlike many of you unfortunate folks whose ipods do not connect because of itunes 6.0, mine is unlike that. My ipod is not recognized by my computer. It is not because of itunes 6.0 because this was going on before i updated. i thought that maybe if i updated it might work but....no. i know my usb is fine because i can update my brothers ipod on the same computer and the same cable so if anyone can help me that would be superb.

    Hello Paul,
    Thank you for your kind word, I totally agree that Mark is a knowledgeable guy but def. not me. I am just a guy enjoy to repairing the iPods and share my experience with people who have the problems.
    Make the long story short, I do not know the reason cause but I discover the following points:-
    1. iPod will be free from problem if it only got charged by the AC charger instead of the computer.
    2. Problems always happen just after the installation of the latest iPod updater or connecting with the computer, particular PC.
    3. Some iPods not able to be charged from the USB port of a PC - it happens to most of the PDA cases as well. The unstable of power supply from the USB port always the reason to screw the iPod.
    4. After the installation of the iPod updater, some iPods need to be plugged with an AC Charger to finish the installation process. And lot of case got stuck at this stage.
    5. iPod is like an external HD, when you put it Disk Mode, you got better chance to get your iPod mount with the computer, in order for you to do the Restore.
    6. Reset does help on most cases
    7. If reset does not work then you must do a Restore
    8. Some iPods may need to do a Format (Disk Utility or 3rd party software) instead of purely doing a Restore.
    9. If your iPod is formatted in a PC, and cant recognized by your PC, it is better chance to solve it by connectting it with a Mac and vince verse
    10. Use Firewire instead of USB
    Stay away from connecting your iPod with a PC unless you need to do the update of iPod software

  • IPod Updater not responding

    Hi everybody
    my iPod was displaying the folder with exclamation mark
    so I figured that I need to restore it
    the problem is
    whenever I open the iPod Updater and connect my iPod, the iPod Updater wouldn't respond
    it just freezes
    and I downloaded the latest version but I got the same problem
    I've put my iPod in desk mode, but this wouldn't help either
    does anyone has any suggesions?
    thanks
    sam

    You again? The poster of this topic WENT to that page, genius! I've been havign a very similar problem, I must have seen that page a zillion times! You are being incredibly patronizing, please stop.
    To the poster of this thread: I had this problem, and I scoured the earth until I found this:

    I had the "firmware update failure" AND your "NOT RESPONDING" thing, and that page helped a lot. Hope it helps you.

  • Itunes doesnt recognise Ipod, Ipod updater doesnt recognise Ipod

    As said, Im new and just bought the ipod 30gb and I tried whatever is said in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 and still doesnt work.
    Ipod shows up in the Windows explorer and in the WIndows Task Manager, but not in Itunes nor Ipod updater as connected.
    I tried to download older versions of Ipod updater and itunes, because I read it was working for some people, but cannot download them in any place. And at last, I wonder if there is any problem using USB 1.1 I dunno what else I can do, Im ****** off :/

    Ok, I had the same problem for months but I have just fixed it!! Here is the problem I had and my solution:
    Problem:
    1. Ipodservice was not loading when windows xp boots up
    2. In Events Viewer, System, there was he error "DCOM got error "193 is not a valid Win32 application. " attempting to start the service iPodService with arguments "-Service" in order to run the server:"
    3. As a result, itunes can't see the ipod and I was unable to update it for many months
    FIX:
    1. The problem for me was that windows cannot find ipodservice.exe because there is a space in the path that it resides in: C:\Program Files\iPod\bin
    2. This is a problem that Microsoft has documented (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812486/)
    3. Open up Regedit.exe
    4. Goto "HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service\IpodService"
    5. Double-click on ImagePath on the right
    6. Add double quotations around the ipodservice path(ie. "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe")
    7. Close regedit
    8. Goto Start-Administrative Tools-Services
    9. Scroll to Ipodservice and double-click
    10. Set startup type to "automatic" if not already
    11. Click on "Start" to start the service
    12. Now run itunes; you should be able to connect now to your ipod!

  • MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

    hi
    ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
    PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
    NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
    NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
    RANT:
    The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
    This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
    So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
    Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)
    Cheers

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

  • IPod Touch cannot connect to wireless network

    I have a 1 TB, dual-band time capsule with a wireless network created to share our broadband internet connection for our main computer (the iMac), a windows PC, an iPhone 3G, and a 2nd gen iPod touch to connect to the internet. Wireless security for this network is WPA/WPA2 Personal. The windows box and the iPhone 3G connect without problem, but the iPod touch does not seem to connect correctly. The device sees the network, prompts for the password, and seems to be connected (wi-fi symbol visible in top left corner of device), but when trying to view a website using the Safari app, the screen dims and an endless "Connecting..." message is visible. Furthermore, when trying to update e-mail, I get a message that the connection to the server failed.
    It is worth noting that the iPod did not always have this problem. It was able to connect to the wi-fi network until a few weeks ago. This may have been due to the upgrade to Snow Leopard, or perhaps due to an incident where the windows PC lost its connection to the network. When this occurred, I had to disable all security on the network, connect the PC to the network, then re-enable security (as I had to do when first installing the Time Capsule; for whatever reason, the windows box had a hard time joining the network with security enabled). Anyway, one of these two events is the likely cause of the iPod suddenly being unable to connect; I'm sorry to say that I'm uncertain as to which one, because my wife uses the device sporadically, so we cannot pinpoint exactly when this difficulty started.
    As for attempted solutions, I tried resetting the iPod back to factory settings, only to have the same connection issues. I also changed the network security settings to None, and attempted to connect the iPod to the network (even though it should have no problem connecting to a secure network), but still no go. I am short on ideas for a fix, and would gladly welcome any advice the community has to offer. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Pretty much the same thing happened to me. My new Touch connects fine to my work wireless network (WEP64) - still does. But my home wireless network is SOL. I can join the router, wireless icon is in upper left corner (although gray, not green). I can even see the Touch from my router (Verizon FIOS). All other laptops in the house including wireless TiVo work flawlessly. I have not undone my security on my router yet - looks like it won't help. I have tried using static IP and I can still see iPod from router. But I cannot browse, go to AppStore, check email (which works great from work network), and have exact same error messages as above post. It has to be a security thing somewhere, I just didn't want to mess with router if I didn't have to. If I figure it out, I will post here........

  • Cannot Connect to iPod Update Server

    I have a 30 GB Video iPod, and my computer is running Windows XP Media Center. I can connect to iTunes and download songs, movies, podcasts, ect. But whenever I try to update my iPod's software to the newest version it says that it cant find an internet connection. I am using a D-Link Wireless system, and everything else seems to work fine. I can get on the internet, use Xbox Live, connect my laptop, and even download the newest version of iTunes. But I can never get the iPod update to work at all. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Lost wireless connection after installing Snow Leopard combo update.

    Hi everybody. I installed Snow Leopard on my father-in-law's Mac Mini (one year old) over Christmas, as a gift. The upgrade went fine. Everything worked until I performed a SW update. It downloaded a mammoth 500+ MB combo update (wirelessly), installed it, and boom. No wireless.
    His network has no security; it is open. The Mac could see/find the network, but timed-out when connecting. Connection Doctor and Network Diagnostics; all red lights. His Dell and my iPod Touch had no problem connecting. I tried switching user accounts, turning Airport ON/OFF, trashing Locations and using Automatic, inactivating interfaces, disabling firewall, restarting, PRAM reset, and probably some other things I can't recall.
    I couldn't leave him without any Internet, and I didn't have a patch cable to try, so I restored him to 10.5 using Time Machine. His wireless went back to normal and is working fine. So he has my Christmas gift, but he can't use it.
    I have seen some related experiences in this forum, but not quite the same. Anything I try will now need to be done remotely over iChat Screen Sharing, as he is 190 miles away. Thank you for any assistance.

    Problem Solved..sort of. I was able to restore full connectivity by disabling the WEP encryption of the WIFI. This is very strange to me, prior to getting the ATV, WIFI was only rurned on for brief periods to allow my laptop to connect or when using a Sondigo wireless music bridge (great product BTW.) After enabling WEP I had no problems in connecting either the ATV or the Sondigo unit to the WIFI, there was however a problem with my laptop in that it showed a very solid connect to the WEP enabled network but I could not browse the internet. FWIW my router is a Linksys WRT54GX. Hopes this helps someone else

  • After iOS5 update, iPod no longer connects to car stereo

    Hi,
    my husband and I both have an iPod touch 4th generation.
    We also have a Dodge Caravan with a car stereo, that lets up hook up the iPods and control them over the display. The cable does not charge the iPods, but we knew that.
    I have updatedt my iPod a while ago and never encountered any problems with the car stereo.
    My husband updated his iPod to iOS5 today, and the car stereo does not connect via the cable. On the iPods display it just says, an error has ocurred.
    Would that be a hardware issue? The iPod is a month or two past warranty. We already tried restarting and resetting the iPod (not to factory settings).
    Is there maybe a way, to return the iPod to iOS4?
    Thanks for any help

    Sometimes, when you cannot "see" your ipod, it is because the drive that was assigned to the ipod, when you connected it, is already being used by the other devise. Your ipod is connected, but is "under" the other item, which means that you have to disconnect that item, so that you can "see" it. It will not be one of the drives that are normally associated with the computer like the C drive, or the ones assigned to your disc drives. It would be a drive that was assigned to an external devise, or another USB devise. This may or may not be your problem, but it is worth a shot.

  • Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

    Hi, everyone!
    I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
    ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
    ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
    ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
    Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
    ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
    ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
    Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
    I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
    Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
    Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
    Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
    Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
    P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

    Hello and welcome,
    I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61.  I guess that makes 3
    _Maybe_  your situation is the same.
    The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver.  Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver.  Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
    On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked.  Same fix there.
