iPod won't stop updating?

Maybe the following but your descrption of your problem is not clear.:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT2305 the voice over on my ipod won't stop

my ipod won't stop doing voice over, it interupts my books i listen to, it skips over (fast forwards) on its own... i have restored the ipod many times. IT WON'T STOP. this is very expensive equipment and i'm very disappointed in the product. any suggestions? when i restore, i DON'T mark it to enable voice over. it still happens, incessantly. anyone have a suggestion?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

My ipod won't stop saying "do not disconnect"

When I try to sync my iPod with my new computer, the computer acts like it is done sync-ing (I think), but the iPod itself never stops displaying "Do not disconnect"

If apart from the "Do Not Disconnect" your iPod is working normally and updating then you probably have it enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in iTunes 6.x go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync (automatically update songs and playlists) with iTunes and also has a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you are using iTunes 7, connect your iPod and in when it appears in the source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Then under the Music tab see if your iPod set to automatically sync all songs and playlists. In Summary remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case check this link: Safely Disconnect iPod

Computer won't stop updating - cannot access start screen

When powering down the other night the system began an automatic update. It reached 100% and then sat there doing its thing with a note to not turn the computer off. The next day I found that the computer had shut itself off and when I tried to start it it again gave the message that it was updating and to not turn the computer off. I sat there for 2 hours watching the little balls going 'round and occasionally touching the screen to keep it from turning itself off.
Does anyone know how I stop this and get to my start screen?

My E-mail won't stop updating itself?

Hi, as I said above the E-mail hasn't been able to stop updating itself and it's depleting my battery quicker than usual. I've tried turning off the push option and turned the iPhone off and on several times. It still does the updating on its own. Is this just a bug or is there a problem? Would also appriciate some tips or advise. Thanks in advance.

Updating iPod Software--Won't Stop 'Updating'

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 7.0. After upgrade, iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all. So I restarted the computer, and simultaneously restarted the iPod. At this point, it recognized the iPod, but said that new software was available for my iPod and that I needed to update. I did, and now a pop up is on my computer reading "Updating 'Ben'". (Ben is the name of my iPod). I've done this 3 times now with the same result.
How can I ensure that iTunes recognizes my iPod each and every time?

Incidently, I too have tried switching from the USB 2.0 hubs in the front to the rear USB's and nothing is happening. I have followed the iPod for Windows software instructions to:
"connect iPod to see if it needs formatting"
when I connect the iPod shuffle the software notices that the "iPod is connected, please wait while the system recognizes the device" and I have even let the program run "waiting for iPod" for HOURS............ and nothing is happening!!

Ipod won't stop syncing

I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer, and plugged in my ipod. It updated all the songs and everything, but even after it's finished copying all the files, the little swirly thing that says "ipod syncing, do not disconnect" just keeps going and going. Also, it won't copy all of my videos to my ipod. That one I can't figure out, since they're all the same file type and it appears to be random selection. Why won't my ipod stop syncing?

If you're set Manually Manage, the Do Not Disconnect icon will not disappear on its own...you have to manually eject the iPod. Are you set to Manual Manage or Auto Sync?

Podcast library won't stop updating

Just last Thursday I updated my 5th gen. iPod Touch to 8.0.2 (meanwhile connecting for the first time to my new MacBook Air).
Ever since then, when trying to access my podcasts on the iPod, the spinning wheel comes up and it just says, "Updating library..." I've played around with just about every setting for podcasts on the iPod, I've removed the podcasts and reloaded them, I've backed up and restored the iPod, and still, five days later, it's just "Updating library..."
This is so frustrating. Does anyone have any idea what can be done to get this to stop? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks--that seems to have worked. I was just hoping it wouldn't have to come to that!

IPod Won't Stop Re-setting

Okay, so my I went to start my iPod, and it wouldn't respond. So I hold down the center and menu buttons to restart. It goes to the apple logo like usual and then... nothing. It starts over, goes dark, then to the apple logo and... nothing. It will not stop resetting, and when I plug into my computer, iTunes won't recognize it.

That's normal. To disconnect the iPod, click on the little triangle thingie beside its name in iTunes source pane and then the Do Not Disconnect will go away and you can unplug it.

IPhoto won't stop updating. It won't let me look at my pictures....

I even re-purchased the program about a month ago hoping it would help, but it hasn't. It just said"Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." Then it updates until it stops responding. Any ideas out there?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My iPod won't finish updating!

I decided to update to iOS 4.0 because I heard the next update was coming out soon so even if I didn't like it, it would be fixed anyway. I plugged it in and iTunes let me know there was an update. I hit Restore and Update and it began updating, It extracted software perfectly. It then sent the stuff to apple, did all the other stuff it has to do, and began restoring. All is well until about 95% complete when it froze. I left it there over night and woke up the next morning to find nothing changed. I finally force quit iTunes and shut off the iPod to try again, worked perfectly until it reached 95%, nothing happened. I then proceeded to spend the next 4hrs reading all sorts of stuff online. I have attempted DFU mode with no success, I've tried to restore it on seperate sign ons on my MacBook Pro, and even gone as far as to download 3rd party applications to try get it out of recovery mode. It is now stuck in recovery mode and is unusable. Any suggestions would be great.

By the way its a 3rd Gen 8GB

Connecting iPod won't start updating from iTunes?

When I have connected my iPod to my PC recently, the "Do Not Disconnect" message comes up okay on my iPod, the PC can see it but iTunes ignores it entirely. In other words, iTunes just sits there and refuses to start updating.
I have rebooted, restarted, reset, etc, all to no avail. iTunes simply can't see my iPod. Any thoughts as to how to update my iPod?
Thanks, Brian

What did you use to covert them? The iPod has rather specific conversion requirements where as iTunes is a bit more relaxed. So it is perfectly reasonable to have video files that will play in iTunes but are not right for the iPod (bit rate too high, etc.)

IPod Shuffle has stopped updating play count

Since the 6.02 update (or possibly the OS 10.4.4 update), my iPod Shuffle has had no problems playing anything I throw at it, but after going through a podcast or a group of songs, no play count is updated in iTunes when I plug it in.
I tried clearing the playlist and adding a bunch of songs under one minute so that I could look at a group. No dice.
I tried restoring the iPod software. No dice.
Any advice?

I, too, have had this same problem since the 6.0.2 update. The frustrating thing is, it does it intermittently. I'd say every other time I plug the shuffle in, it will update the counts and last played fields.
I load up my shuffle for work every day from a playlist of tunes that I haven't listened to in x amount of time. Lets me hear music that I might forget I had and makes it more like a radio station. I can no longer rely on being able to do this. I got the shuffle for this very purpose. Why can it no longer do what it once did perfectly well?
Any ideas on whether Apple still wants to support this product enough to do another update?

I can't use my phone because it won't stop updating

Something popped out telling me I had to download the new version for my Iphone, you know usual stuff. Fine, started loading (you know when the apple sign shows up and there the loading bar underneath) At a point the bar was full, so the phone shutted down and restarted. But when it started the apple sign was still there with the loading bar who stopped almost half way. The thing is that even if i restart it, it won't go away. And nothing is downloading, apparently, because the bar isnt fufilling. Help me please I can't use my phone !

it's been 12 hours now. I think it just not working loll.
