Ipod wont backup and wont update plzz help

my ipod wont back up so it wont update, im on 3.1.3. wy wont it backup?

I am having the same issue. When I plug in my ipod touch, it never gets past the backing up process, so I can't do anything.
My old pc broke so I am using a newer one. I downloaded itunes and authorized the computer so that it will work with my touch. I never had any problems on my old computer. Rign now I am running on windows vista, my touch is 2nd Gen, 8GB.
I updated to the newer version of itunes, but I can't update my touch with the new software.
I have been having these issues for months now. I am only trying to move over like 48 songs and remove some apps.
Any help would be awesome.

    Hi. Um well my ipod just got back from being shipped out to be fixed. And all my songs are in the library on itunes but when i plug in the ipod to the comp it wont pop up. Please help me.

    IPods come back from repairs formatted for the Mac, so you'll have to run the iPod Updater and format it.
    Run the Updater (Start - Programs - iPod), only connect your iPod when it tells you to, and choose the Restore option. Then sync with iTunes and you should be back in business.

  • Ipod wont Update in Itunes. HELP!!!!!!

    Heya guys. After installing Itune 6.0, I seem to be having problems with my Itunes recognizing my Ipod. Its plugged in and charging on a USB 2.0 cable, but when I use Itunes, I cant seem to have Itunes even recognize that my Ipod is plugged in and charging. It wont update it for me. Everything else seems to work fine, I can download podcasts just fine and go into the music store.
    Could it be that I need a USB cable? Before I would get a message saying something like the cable wasnt fast enough, but I didnt have trouble with it then.
    This is my computer that Im trying to get my Ipod to update on Itunes. I have tried to reinstall Itunes, but have trouble there.
    When I go into Itunes, I press the Edit Tab, then preference, then Ipod tab. It says then it isnt connected. But if it isnt connected, then how come it shows on my Ipod that it is charging?
    From what I've been reading, Itunes 6.0 is causing alot of grief. Im sorry if this is long-winded but I hope that I gave some details that would help. Thank you if you can be of anyhelp.

    My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

  • Ipod wont update, restore, WORK!!??

    hi everyone, my ipod's been playing up, its the second time this has happened, the last time i managed to sort out the problem but it was an accident! It started off by suddenly deleting all the songs in my ipod, they're still in my library but wont update onto my ipod, saying there is not enough memory. I have tried resetting, and then update/restoring but I keep getting a range of different error messages from "Internal error" to "formatting failure" i have searched through all the discussions on here but none have helped!! the ipod updater i downloaded seems to disappear on my computer leaving one from jan06, which is obviously out of date. PLEASE HELP!!!!
    thanks xxx

    You've seen this?
    Internal manager error.
    If after trying all else, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

  • IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

    The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

    I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
    Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
    With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

  • My Ipod wont play PLEASE HELP ME

    thanks

    I was surfing the forum looking into the reason my Nano 4G wouldn't power up.
    It was the result I presume of an FM transmitter I got. This reboot did the trick.
    Just thought I'd nod your way for the resolve. Thanks Roger
    PS- anyone know any GOOD FM tuners?

  • Ipod wont update songs from itunes after new update

    I downloaded the new itunes update 5.0 and now i cant update my ipod. it keeps telling me that there is not enough room on it. so i unchecked about 1000 songs and it keeps on saying the same thing. it also took about 3000 songs off my ipod. the only way it will update is if i let itunes update it with a choice of songs they pick. please help.

    Hello All,
    I think I came up with a work around by accident and didn't realize it until I read this post.
    Did all the same stuff most have done, reset to factory, reapplied the updates, etc, still not enough free space, even though there was plenty before.
    Sooo, I went into iPod options, changed from "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". I did this assuming that the amount of space used on my iPod would be cut in half, at least. So I sync'd and when it was done, my iPod was back to the way it originally was, having about 800MB free on a 30GB G3 iPod. Hmmm... so I looked at the pref's again and realized that the "Only update checked songs" was still checked. I have been using this setting for at least the past two years after my audio collection began to exceed my 30GB iPod's capacity. So in the end, it ended up syncing just my playlists PLUS anything that was checked which brought me back to where I started before I made the jump from 4.9 to 6.0.1. The only difference was the switching the setting "Automatically update all songs and playlists" to "Automatically update selected playlists only". Very odd. I suspect a lot of users got in trouble on this one.
    Please let me know if this fixes the problem for anyone else.
    Kindly,
    James

  • My ipod is formated for windows xp. new laptop is windows 8. ipod wont update on new laptop, what do i do now?

    my new laptop is windows 8. iPod is formatted for windows xp. new laptop knows iPod is there but wont update. how do I fix this?

    hey there oddball35,
    It sounds like you are trying to update your iPod with your new computer. Without knowing the specific symptoms, I recommend you start with choosing the iPod model you have from the following website:
    iPod Troubleshooting Assistants
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    If that does not resolve the issue, are you getting any error messages, or what specifically is preventing the restore from happening?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
