IPod will not update properly - What is going on?!

I've just got a new computer and I accidentally managed to delete all my music files.
Since I couldn't retrieve them, I started putting my music onto this new computer.. the iTunes on it was working fine.
But when I came to update the songs onto my iPod, it made a strange whirring sound, but it was working like it usually did when it updates.
When it said the update was complete, the songs that I put on iTunes that were supposedly updated were not and there were no songs on my iPod!
I tried this a few times and fiddled around with the computer and iPod but it had the same result.
I tried it on a different computer but the result was the same.
I was wondering if this had happened to anyone before or if my iPod is officially screwed [I think the latter, but just to be sure].
I would very much appreciate an answer/some advice. Thankyou.

Please help me, I would really really appreciate a suggestion from all you iPod experts out there!

  • IPod will not update properly - error -69 and others

    I have been working to get my daughter's Ipod working properly and it seems to be just getting worse. Problems seem to come from downloaded (from ITunes) music that won't upload properly. I've done all kinds of things to see if I can get it to work, but every time we go through the update process, I get error messages such as the "unknown error -69". I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the original software for both Itunes and Ipod and also obtained upgrades for both programs. I've completely restored the Ipod thinking that would help but to no avail. I'm about ready to toss the thing in the gargage. What are my options?

    Please help me, I would really really appreciate a suggestion from all you iPod experts out there!

  • Ipod will not update!!! Error (-50)  HEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!

    My ipod will not update to manual when I click the box to update manual. The box under is checked as it should be but after about 40sec of "Updating Ipod" an error box pops up and says "Ipod could not update unknown error (-50)". In addition I am no longer able to play the songs from my ipod through my comupter. I am only able to play songs on my computer already through itunes. Please help.

    im getting kind of the same problem. i got a new computer with vista on it, and i plugged in my ipod with all the songs on it, and i thought if i set it to put all the songs on my computer it would erase the ones currently on it. i started getting alot of errors saying there wasnt enough space on my 8gb nano, which there should have been enough space but since it wasnt deleting the music already on it.
    after trying a few different setting i decided to try the restore button and it said it couldnt restore. so i closed itunes went to computer and into my ipod, enabled it so i could see hidden folders and then deleted all the F1, F2,F3 and so on folders and tried an update and it worked.
    but something really strange then happened in itunes, it was on my purchased playlist instead of having just my purchased music it had three copies of all my purchased music, but there wasnt three files of each. itunes did this on my previous computer but it made new copies of the files.
    it then worked just like it did on my old computer, but i noticed it wasnt working properly went i got all the album artwork and my new purchased music. now i dont really know what to do, do what i did before and delete the music manually or just wait untill the update in a "few weeks"
    i hope this has been helpful to anyone else with similar problems.

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.

  • I add songs to itunes, but ipod will not update!

    I imported songs onto my itunes library. But when I plug it in the usb to update, it will automatically disconnect after 5 minutes, and the ipod will not update. I've tried adding all music, and just checked songs; both do not not work.
    I have version 7.0.0.7
    I have about 50% of room left on my ipod.
    Any suggestions??

    Hello Rex225
    The best way to resolve the issue is to remove the music from the iPhone and then download the purchase again using the steps in the following article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Shockwave will not update properly

    Hi. I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home premium, 64 bit system.I  use IE and just installed Firefox, as well. I tried to update Shockwave so I could continue to play my UClick jigsaw puzzle game, and my computer says it installed successfully, but it will not work with my jigsaw puzzle. I have uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but no change in response. When I try to open jigsaw puzzle, the Adobe Shockwave loading graphic appears, but nothing happens.
    Help!

    I understand the two sites are using different plugins/players.  I'm not an idiot.  However as Shockwave for Director is so old it's listed by Firefox as an unknown plugin and described as being a Netscape plugin ("Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1.5.155"), I am merely suggesting that UClick might change to a more recent, robust plugin.

  • HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4

    my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Identifying iPod models
    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • HT1848 my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.

    my ipod will not update.  I have plugged it into itunes and authorizing the computer but, it still says that all of the purchased product has not been transfered.  It keeps telling me to authorize the computer which I have done.  The purchased items were purchased using an $10 gift card, would that have anything to do with it?
    Thanks,

    We won't know until you try the procedure.   The reset will not affect the content of the iPod.

  • IPod will not update automatically

    After installing iTunes 7.0 I find that my iPod will not sync any more. There is no automatic updating. iTunes recognizes the iPod and says it's updating but nothing updates. It has sat for hours updating and nothing comes across.
    I've installed and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7.0 but it doesn't make any difference.
    Has anyone any ideas, I've over 9,000 songs so I don't want to even think about restoring the iPod.

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.
