Is the new ipod firmware update the cause of them freezing?

the frimware update for the ipod turned my 2 day old video into a paper weight. yesterday when i plugged my ipod in, itunes asked me to download the newest itunes, so i did. then, immediately, after downloading itunes urges me to udate the ipod firmware. i hadnt gotten used to the o.s that was already on my new ipod so i postponed the update. i uploaded 200 songs, 5 music videos, and superman, worked beautifully. today i plugged it in to my pc and itunes urged me to update the firmware again, so i did. everything went smooth, i unplugged it and saw no indicator saying to plug it in to my wall charger, so i didnt, an hour later i plugged Giada (my ipod) back in to upload some ebooks, the "do not disconnect" screen frozeimmidiately my pc would not recognize it neither would itunes, ive been at it for hours and nothing has changed. ive tried Giada in three other computers its the same with all of them. it works otherwise, listening to music, but while plugged into my pc its a peice of metal.
does anybody know whats up, and how to fix it?

So, Godmorning from Sweden
After hours of scanning diffrent forums i found a method which worked for me, you can put the G5 Video in "Disk Mode" by first
1. Reboot (Key lock, Key unlock, Menu+Middle several seconds, 6-10sec)
2. Press Middle+Play just when the reboot starts.
This enables Diskmode, to exit diskmode just do a standard reboot.
When my Ipod enterd "disk mode" i could access it with iTunes and did a factory reset, and "for the moment" my problem is solved.
I hope this tip helps people....

    Unless you plan to restore it, if all you are doing is updating the firmware then nothing will be erased from your iPod. Even if it was you just have to reload from iTunes or your back up.

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

  • Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

    Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

    Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
    Thank you.

  • When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

    I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
    When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?

    You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
    http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
    so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:
    http://www.thelightningdock.com/products/iphone-5-dock
    If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

  • Can't download the new ipod touch update

    when i go to itunes and try to buy the new upgrade it says that i must download the new ipod software 1.1.3 even though my ipod is up to date. What gives

    You must update to itunes 7.6. You must download, and update your ipod to version 1.1.3 verify on the summary tab in itunes when you plug your ipod in. If you have already purchased the update then you should now be able to sync your ipod and the apps appear. If you have yet to successfully purchase the apps yet purchase, and resync. (you can view your purchase history from itunes store account settings, to check whether you have successfully made the purchase already. Also when you sync your ipod the first time to get the apps to show up, you must be set to automatically sync, not manual.

  • I've tried running the new graphics firmware update (8/24/11), but it says the software is not supported on my Mac...

    Is anyone else having this issue? I would very much like to download the update because it address the issues I have been having with my iMac.

    Don't shoot the messenger . From what I've seen on various forums you're not alone, so hopefully it will be addressed, hopefully sooner rather than later.
    When I got my iMac at the end of 2009 I was affected by the dreaded flickering screen issue - took two firmware updates before it was finally sorted for the majority.

  • Do the new iPods come with the 1.2 update on them now?

    If so, is it advisable to hook it to a computer with Itunes 6 and the last stand alone update to restore it before hooking it to the computer with Itunes 7.02? Does the 1.2 format work better when it comes installed on the iPod already? My daughter is getting the 80gb video iPod for Christmas. After reading all the problems on here, it worries me that her iPod won't work well with 1.2 on it.

    I wouldn't take any risks (by connecting it to an older version of iTunes). Some iPods have had to be restored after doing that, simply because the older version of iTunes may not understand some of the iPod's files.
    Of course there are going to be many people with problems in these forums. This is a support forum. No one comes here with working iPods or iTunes, nor do they post that everything is working fine. For the vast majority of people, the latest version of iTunes 7 works fine.

  • Any thoughts on the new Bluetooth Firmware Update?

    First of all, happy 2006 to all.
    I just downloaded and installed a Bluetooth Firmware Update upon running the Software Update utility. Right after I decided to see online what should I expect from it. According to Apple's post, such a download is not for our PB model.
    Anyway, it's probably too soon to tell, but after brief testing I feel that at least the connection's kept at a larger distance. I hope to be right because sometimes the connection seems to be quite weak. I use my Bluetooth Sony Ericsson k700i as a remote control with many losses in the connection.
    George...

    I too downloaded this updater via Software Update. Upon restart the Bluetooth Firmware Updater application launched and I proceed to try and install. After sitting there for about 10 minuntes I clicked the Quit button since it was not finding any device. It asked if I was sure I wanted to quit because the firmware was not updated yet. After quitting the updater, my powerbook's (1.5GHz 15" Aluminum) bluetooth is no longer available. The preference pane is gone, the menu bar item says "Bluetooth is unavailable".
    I restarted, deleted all the bluetooth preferences, and still nothing. I now have bluetoothless powerbook.
    If anyone has any additional suggestions, please let me know. I am going to try a few other things in the mean time (inlcuding zapping the PRAM).

  • Is the new Ipod Touch 8gb the same as the 4th generation?

    Hi, I'm looking into getting the Ipod Touch 5th generation 8gb. I have the 3rd generation 8gb and I found that this was pretty much the same as the 2nd generation, so when I tried to update to the new iOS at the time, it only had limited features, while the 32GB+ versions had the full set. It even comes up that I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch registered to my account, whereas I paid for a 3rd generation model -.-
    I dont really need 32GB so I was wondering whether I'd have the same problem with the 8GB 5th generation when a new iOS update comes out. Thanks

    - You said: " I have the 3rd generation 8gb ".  You have a 2G iPod  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  When Apple introduced the 3G iPods, the 8 GB 2G iPod but  with updated iOS was continued to be sold.
    - There is not 5G iPod touchyet.  The ones introduced in October 2011 are sill 4G iPod but with a less expenisve price and also available in white.  There is not confusion  like there was when the 3G iPod was introduced.

  • I changed my email on my apple id to the new one, i update the ios8 on 5s and there's an old id that I can't remove it, I can't restore, too. Please help me.

    I changed an email on my apple ID to the new one. I upgraded my 5s to ios8, it required the password on the old email that I can't reach it. I tried to restore but I can't. In conclusion, I changed an email to the new one but it still the old on the updated 5s and I filled down the password and it said "incorrect ID or password" so I can't change it into the new one. How should I do? Thank you so much.

    Yes, absolutely, you can still use the old ID to update, etc., but I understood the OP to want to simply discard the old one and use only the new one. Maybe I misunderstood...
    And, actually just now re-reading the first post, it could be that the ID had only been associated with the iDevices, so if he established a new ID and associated that with the new MBP, I frankly have no idea if he can still use the old ID on that machine (based on him saying that the old ID is greyed out) - have not come up with this type of situation before.
