Ipod wont upgrade

hiya,
recently upgraded to itunes 7.0 and when i tryed to upgrade my video ipod to ipod version 1.2, because the old one couldnt play the videos i purchased, it said it could not upgrade becasue the "firmware file could not be found".
any help would be awesome.

it said it could not upgrade becasue the "firmware file could not be found".
with that one, let's first try the technique from this document:
What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt
if you get no joy with that, run through the same steps again, except that at step 3 delete the entire "iPod Software Updates" folder (rather than just the files inside it).
do either of those procedures get you past the problem?

  • My ipod wont upgrade to ios 6.

    everytime i do it via wifi or through itunes it gives me an error, and i think it's weird that it says 50 something minutes remaining to download and update my software, i mean it doesnt take that long to update

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
    What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade?

  • I downloaded itunes 10.5 and now my ipod wont sync up with it, whats wrong?

    i downloaded itunes 10.5 and ever since then my ipod wont get recognised by itunes, how do i fix this?

    This tutorial for downgrading says you have to do this when that notice appears after you've downgraded:
    iTunes 10.5 upgrades the iTunes library file and won’t let you downgrade, so you will need the prior version library file. Here’s how to go about that
    5) You will need to rename iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.bak
    6) Go into the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder where you will find several files with dates in their names. The most recent one will have the .itl extension, but the others don’t. Copy that to the parent folder ~/Music/iTunes/ and rename it iTunes Library.itl
    7) Congrats. You’re done.

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • Updated windowsn, now Ipod wont work

    I recently upgraded from Windows ME to Widows XP. I did this in order to be able to update my Ipod. My Ipod is relatively old, and ran under the MusicMatch Jukebox before. Now with an upgraded music match, and a new download of itunes with windows XP, my Ipod wont sync-up. It doesnt start in Itunes or musicmatch, and it keeps all music as music match. Also, I can't add new music. Any suggestions?

    Get rid of Musicmatch. iTunes does not work well if it is used along with Musicmatch.

  • My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

    My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

    To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
    If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
    Does the app/iPod meet this?

Thank you!

    Hi Novagurl2369!
    I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
    No sound through stereo headset1
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

  • How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

    Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

    If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
    - See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.
