Ipod would not update to newer version

I received a Ipod mini as a gift some years ago but never used it until now, however the version it came with is 1.1 and it would not update to the new 1.4.1 version when I select update. I am getting an error message saying "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted" Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later.
Can someone give me some assistance with this problem.
Thanks

This is the current message I am getting when I try to update to the new version.
"There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod "Myname ipod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
This message is a little different from what I am seeing reported.
Any help please.
Thanks

  • Pages on iPhone5S will not update to new version

    My iPhone5S will not update to the latest version: 2.5.2. I tried a dozen times to update it, as well as Numbers. Finally, Numbers updated but Pages still wouldn't. What happens is that I click on Update, and it seems to be updating, then when it finishes and I click on Open, it reverts to Update. I checked the version under Settings, and it was still the older version. I was able to access all my Pages documents, but I was annoyed at seeing the Update reminder, so today I deleted Pages from my phone and intended to re-install it. Now when I bring it up and click on Free and then Install, it just goes back to Free..refuses to budge, so now I don't have any of my Pages docs on my phone. I've tried rebooting, doesn't help. I'm running iOS 8.1.2. All those docs are still there in the Cloud, and Pages appears correctly on my MBP and iPad, but I can't seem to update it---or now, even install it---on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions? This seems so random.

    i would try restoring it or downgrading it and then try it again, if that doesnt work i really dont know.

  • IPOD will not display in new version of iTUNES

  • Adobe pdf plug in for firefox, 10.1.4 version, does not work but can not update to new version, why?

    Adobe pdf plug in does not work, when I tried to update following message appeared, "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection", how to solve this problem?

    Could you review/adjust your preference for which program opens PDFs? I'm not sure how that drop-list behaves when there are multiple Adobe plugins. You might need to physically remove an old plugin file or two to make sure Firefox is not trying to use the old one.
    * [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] <br>
    ''Edit: actually this article describe how to use the Options dialog Applications section to review/change the setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]''.
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins (only one want nppdf32.dll here)
    * In regedit.exe, check the following key for the source of obsolete plugins: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins
    Both the file that stores download handling preferences, and the file which registers plugins, can be renamed and Firefox will regenerate them, so those remains options for further actions as well.

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Once you have recovered the songs from your iPod and you are happy that everything back is safely back in iTunes then restore the iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • I cannot update to New version of iPhoto.  Still have older version despite uninstalling application and redownloading it?  any suggestions.  My current version is the 2012 version, but it is not updating to the new version

    I updated to OS X Mavericks.  I updated all of the new iLife applications.  iPhoto is not updating to new version.  I have iPhoto '11. 
    The icon on the dashboard has the new logo, however when I open the application it hasn't updated.  I tried deleting the application and redownloading it.  Still stuck with old version

    I have exactly the same problem as carson.
    iPhoto tells me that I have Version 9.5, and the info-page tells me "iPhoto 11, Version 9.5 (902.7)", and the logo is the new one.
    However, the programme is exactly the same as the old version - not just similar, exactly the same! The screenshots on the apple-website show a dark grey, almost black interface, for example (like the new iMovie). However, my version still shows the old light grey.
    I deleted the iphoto-app entirely (and was horrified to lose all my photos), but that also didn't work out.

  • How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro?  I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

    Hi kwalker08865,
    It would appear that the most recent version of Safari that is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 would be Safari 5.0.6. If this would meet your needs, you can find more information and a download link on the following page:
    Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard

    That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly.  Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled.  I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned.  Sorry this happened the way it did.  Definitely not efficient.

  • I updated the new version of itunes, and now I can't play my ipod

    I updated the new version, and now when I click on the ipod in the left column those songs do not show up! I can't sync it because my ipod has twice the amount of songs than my library....help!!

    HELP !!! I installed iTunes 7.6 and now my iTune store-purchased TV shows play video but have NO AUDIO. Have I gone deaf? The songs still play on my computer but now the TV show audio is missing.

  • I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version??  This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

    I just updated my iTunes on 12-7-2012 and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version??  This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

    To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
    In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

  • 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.
