Is it possible to Uninstall the latest ipod update?

I, like others on this board, made the mistake of trusting Apple to produce software that does no harm. Windows XP has a facility where you can go back to a restore point. Does anyone know of a Unix command that will do something similar? I was using my ipod as a hard drive and was booting from it. I was running 10.2.8. Recently, my primary user account became unusable, but I had another admin account that I was able to boot from. Since I used the ipod updater, my ipod (has 4 buttons) will not mount. I have tried it with 2 different G4 imacs and an old ibook(G3). System profiler sees it as a firewire device, but Disk Utility cannot see it. I did recently back it up, but I think everyone would really appreciate it, if Apple issued a bug fix. Go to the Apple store, and they will tell you to just buy a new one......

I fixed my ipod by hitting it. Not hard, but hard enough to move the platters. You do not have resort to reformatting, opening the case and shaking it, or sending it in for repair. Just hit it. If it's not working and out of warranty, you have nothing to lose....

Is it possible to uninstall the latest kitkat update ("improvement")? If not, how can I fix the problems it has created?

The latest kit kat "improvements" have made using my phone much more frustrating. How can one roll back this operating system update to the previous version? If it is not possible to roll it back, how do I fix the following issues?
1) The battery timing has been greatly diminished.
2) Gmail isn't syncing properly. At least 7 times since the update, upon opening gmail, I see lists of messages that are sometimes over a year old, and not my current ones.
3) The sound slider bar on the open screen has disappeared. It now takes 4 steps in order to get into settings, and temporarily turn off the sound. That is ridiculous when entering a meeting. Not to mention that you have to repeat those steps upon the meeting's end.
4) Searching for a particular contact in people has become more complicated--much easier to select "m" when looking for Mary's info than to have to scroll through the very JITTERY and way too touch sensitive sidebar all the way to the "M's" to even begin to search through the M's. This is way too unwieldy.
5) Emoticon symbol has replaced the symbol to move to the next line in text messaging keyboard. I am not interested in childlike emoticons. I am interested in writing a coherent professional message with appropriate spacing.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

You cannot uninstall Kit Kat from your phone. BTW what kind of phone do you have??

Only by doing an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play

After installing the latest ipod update some of my purchased songs no longer play (though they still play on the computer). When I tested it on another computer it claimed that computer was not authroied to play these songs even though I was just playing them directly off the ipod. Even more strange is that I alos have a number of songs loaded on my itunes from albums I loaded and I am fairly sure these songs were ones I recorded rather than purchased but now they appear on my purchased list.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Installing the latest ipod updater

I have installed the latest ipod updater (10/25/2005 version) in my computer. However I don't know how to transfer it to my ipod mini. Called the Apple hotline but they said I won't get the answer from them unless I purchase the Apple Care. Can anyone help me out please?

Make sure you downloaded the windows version, and just run the application. It will determine if you need to update your iPod or not.

How do I uninstall the latest firefox update?

I just updated to the latest version of firefox 13.0.1 and the update is not working correctly. Many websites do not display all the page and I need to get rid of this latest update. I need to go back to the previous version. How do I do this? This adversely affects my ability to conduct business.

Uninstalling the latest version of Firefox is not at all recommended as it contains serious security fixes.
However, i can try to help you out so that the websites you are having problems with display properly, and you can continue using the latest Firefox.
First, I would suggest you try reading [[Websites look wrong]]. It has some basic steps you can take to see if it will help the pages you are having difficulty with display properly.
If that doesn't work, try to reset Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]. It will fix alot of problems you are having with Firefox in general.

I think the latest ipod updater is broken...I don't recommend using it.

Hi all,
I had ipod 30 gig video number 1. It would lock up and couldn't be reset so you had to wait for the battery to die to charge it up to use it again. Then it started skipping tracks. Then one day, post an update attempt of the firmware, the dreaded folder with an exclamation mark came up.
Well I finally managed to get the updater to try to restore it only to have it come back with 'firmware update failure - disc write error'. I figured it was just that the hardrive was toast.
So I took it to the Apple care center and got ipod 30 gig video number 2 replacement! Yea!
Brought it home, plug it in to charge a bit - said do not disconnect for a couple hours so I finally disconnected it. I could see the menus so it was working at this point.
Then I ran THE DREADED IPOD UPDATER!
Firmware update failure - disc write error!!!!!! AGAIN!!!!
Boom, right back to where I was with the first one. Can only either get 1) the folder of doom (explamation mark folder) or 2) disc mode; do not disconnect to show up.
Itunes 6.05 (reinstalled several times at this point) wont see it.
Ipod updater will come back with 'cannot continue because another app is using the the ipod' - except it has given me this message even when the ipod is not connnected!
I have tried pluggin in ipod with just itunes going, just the updater going, nothing going and starting itunes and nothing going and starting the updater. I have swapped the usb cable. I have stood on my head and whistled a tune.
Nothing works.
I have gone thru the 'when your itunes does not see your ipod while windows does page' to no avail. I am not going to reinstall windows on a machine that is working perfectly well. Basically, these issues all started when I downloaded the newest ipod updater.
I am going to see if I can get an older copy or something but this is downright ridiculous. I have spent basically 3 hours tonight shutdown/restarting and searching for the phone number to call for my 90 days or support call to no avail on the website.
So, good luck people, you are going to need it!

Hey there,
So I finally got the itunes 6.05 installed on the office machine as well as the ipodupdater 6/28/06.
I started itunes. I started the updater and it said hook up an ipod to update. I hooked up the ipod and after a bit (1 minute) I was given the option to restore (but not update). I choose restore and after about 2 mins it was restored and progress bar on ipod had moved as well as on the main computer screen. Then it showed the menu briefly (yea!) but then went to do not disconnect mode (boo). Fortunately, after another few minutes I was given the option to name the ipod on the main computer and then after that the ipod went back to its menu screen so I quick unplugged it.
So now I am back where I was when I took it from the shop the other day. Now to see if I can get songs on it tonight at home.

The latest iPod Updater File is the problem...

I called Apple today and the cust. support guy confirmed with me that they acknowledge there is an "issue" with the latest file (dated Oct '05). He says it's not a problem, just an issue. I say by the number of people on here complaining, it's a problem. Call Apple to complain, that's the only way to get things fixed.

i am an extremely experienced mac user. i have a home network with five macs. i own 4 differnt ipods including 2 shuffles. the shuffles are no longer recognized and in fact, no longer usable. when i try and play, all i get is alternating green and yellow lights. ipods show up as being connected in the system profiler under the usb ports. they do not show up in itunes or in the finder. all macs are well maintained with the latest updates. all music is ripped frrom purchased CDs. No piriate music or software is present on any machine on the network. the ipod shuffles are both dead now, unusable and are not recognized by any version of the ipod updater.
help help help! and don't just send me to the standard help pages. i have read all the articles and tried all of the proposed solutions. i have run the disk utility on all machines and have found no problems. all disk permissions are verified and repaired. THis is an APPLE problem that I hope you solve soon.
Please respond!

How to uninstall the latest Flash player update

After I installed the latest Adobe Flash update, I am getting nasty messages when running flash embedded applications from Ms Office:
"this document contains embedded content that may be harmful to your computer"
I tried to enable All Active-X and all Macros without notification in the Office Trust settings, but it dod.t help.
How can i uninstall the latest Flash update and revert to the previous version?
Thanks!

I've fixed the issue applying the following steps:
1. Uninstalled Flash player with the Adobe uninstall utility.
2. Downloaded and installed the version 11.4 from the Flash archive here.
It seems that the 11.5 works fine as well. Actually, Adobe should fix the issue asap, because it will effectively ruin hundreds of office applications using flash.
Here is the thing. I should launch a standalone application from MS Excel. That application incorporates 30+ flash charts. To pass the Adobe warning message I need to click "Accept" 30 times which is insane. I don't see any other ways of disabling it, because even allowing all macros and active-x in the Excel trust center doesn't help.
Anyway, this Adobe "innovation" doesn't look right at all. I do hope someone from Adobe development team will see this and address the issue. Otherwise people will have stick to old versions and never update Flash.

Trouble with latest iPod updater

When i downloaded and opened the latest iPod updater, it says "Error reading setup initialization file" and i press ok and it quits. Anybody else having this problem or know how to fix it?

it's probably not because of the ipod updater.
they have nothing to do with eachother.
but considering, delete the updater.
see what happens.

Latest iPod updater: WARNING

Hi,
As a teacher constantly switching from my iMac at home to PCs at school, I have been using my windows formatted iPod on both kinds of computers, the automatic synchronization being done on the mac at home.
I performed the latest iPod update (windows version) today, and my mac could no longer synchronize to iPod.
I had to go back to the former windows version of the iPod updater (2006-01-10).
Now everything is back to normal.
So, if you want to go on using your iPod in both worlds, beware!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

"So, if you want to go on using your iPod in both
worlds, beware!"
Apple isn't stupid. The whole reason they formatted
the iPod for Windows is so you can have the
best of both worlds. Something must be messed with
yours.
Of course Apple isn't stupid... and their updates have never caused any problem...
What am I to imagine such an occurence?
As you suggested, "mine" must be messed, though it is currently working fine with the previous update.
I will therefore trash it rightaway and order a new one, which I will duly update with the latest windows updater.
With thanks & best wishes,
J.S

Latest iPod Updater

I have been having similar problems to many of the contributors here - but I need to know one further thing in my exhaustive fault finding quest....
Having got the latest iPod Updater software to install on the Office PC and 'RESTORE' my iPod, if I then take the iPod to my home machine and connect upto iTunes :
1. do I need the iPod updater software installed?
2. should iTunes immediately recognise the iPod and display it as an icon in the list on the left hand side (mine doesnt) - or must it be RESTORED (using updater), on the PC that is running iTunes to which you want to connect?
Thank you for any help you can give.

1. do I need the iPod updater software installed?
No.
2. should iTunes immediately recognise the iPod and display it as an icon in the list on the left hand side (mine doesnt) - or must it be RESTORED (using updater), on the PC that is running iTunes to which you want to connect?
Doesn't matter what machine you restore it on.
If the iPod isn't recognized, check the cable, check the connection, use Firewire instead of USB, etc. Basically read the recommendations for about 2/3rd of the posts in this forum. :P
