ITunes 6 and iPod 1.4 update ?

Hi, I see no link to download iTunes 6 or iPod 1.4 software. There is not an option to click anywhere to update this. What am I missing? I see that others have downloaded and had trouble, but I can't see where I can download at all.

When you open iTunes, it should say "There's a new version of iTunes, would you like to download it?" or something like that. That's how I installed/downloaded iTunes 6. You can also go to www.iTunes.com and the link to download it should be on the right side of the screen, right about the middle of the page, in blue background.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update. How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?

OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1. Here is a link to purchase the update.

After updating to iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2, Ipod screen gets patchwork screen

I updated to iTunes 7 and also updated my 60 gig video ipod to version 1.2 last night and things seemed to go fine but my ipod screen garbles intermittantly - almost looks like madras cloth - you can't read anything - there are very fine lines both verticle and horizontal directions -
Sometimes (5x since last night) the ipod will lock up and i have to reset it. Reading the other posts, I tried turning off syc on podcasts but it is still doing it.
I have no hacks of any kind.

UPDATE - OK, I took the ipod into the apple store here - they tried to update it and get it fixed - ultimate resolution - get this...not a software issue at all - the hard drive on my 5G 60gig was on the verge of failing. Thankfully I was still within my first 6 months of purchase and the replacement was at no cost.
So, APPLE, sorry for casting stones about the update. I was wrong...
As far as diagnosing the hardware issue - you can reset the ipod and then listen to the hard drive - he said repeated clicking sounds and then a sound almost like crumpling paper (the best I can do) may be indicative - I think that's what he said (at least that's what I heard and asked him...)
anyway, could be a hardware issue for you too.
good luck.

My itunes library and ipod playlist disappeared?

i'm not sure what happened, but i intentionally deleted a bunch of mp3 files from my library (about 75% of my music folder) after uploading them to my 30 gig new generation Ipod. I believe that after this action, my Itunes library disappeared - including my Ipod playlist (the playlist i defaulted my Ipod to sync with). Now, whenever i open up Itunes, there's no music in my library or anything. I still have my 10 gigs of music on my Ipod that i had uploaded prior to this, however, i want to add more songs onto my Ipod. The problem and question here is, i'm afraid that when i sync my Ipod with a new playlist, will all of the songs on my Ipod be erased?
i had the idea of downloading IpodRip to retrieve the songs from my Ipod to my computer, then just starting from scratch and adding all the songs at one time, however, IpodRip would only open with errors and not retrieve my songs.
i hope someone understands this situation - i have a difficult time explaining it in type without sounding confusing. i'm not very feature-savvy with Itunes or my Ipod.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS 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 non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then 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
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

ITunes error -50 - iPod cannot be updated

Hi,
I've updated iTunes to the most recent version (5.0.0.35) on Windows XP. When I try to update my iPod (4th Gen Click Wheel, most recent iPod update (september's) run) everything is fine. When I try to update with Outlook's contacts, that's fine as well. When I try to update with Outlook's calendar I get the following error message...
'The iPod "....." cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)'
Any ideas out there? Let me know what other infor you may need.
Thanx in advance!!

Same issue here, only I get:
"The ipod ** cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-4)"
I've never seen a -4 error and can't seem to locate anyone else that has, either, but on a hunch I disabled my Outlook Calendar synching and it went away. Contact synching still seems to work, however.
What a great feature! Hope Apple fixes this soon! =/

Sycn error -50 with iTunes 5 and iPod Photo 60G

Hello,
I updated to iTunes 5 (german) on a W2K SP4. The first sync with my iPod Photo was fine. Now I synced again and received error: It was not possible to syncronize your iPod. An unkown error occured (-50).
After that I updated my iPod to latest iPod Updater 2005-09-06, but still get the same error.
Anyhow it seems that the sync still work. At least for renaming playlists.
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot,
Tim

Hi Tim,
you might want to restore your iPod completely using the Updater 2006-09-06. Even though it's a hassle, but I had some cover art mess on the iPod, but not in iTunes. So I restored with Updater and after that the syncing worked fine and ever since.
Hope that'll help!
Best

Itunes 10 and ipod touch 2g not syncing

Hi,
Upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and Ipod Touch 2g OS4.1 and now my Ipod won't sync with my MacBook Pro. It gets a few stages through and either hangs at the backup stage or the calendar/contacts sync.
I tried a full Ipod erase and restore, even as a new iPod - didn't work
Any other ideas. Anyone else suffering this?
Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent software...it was fine when I synced it yesterday (on my Macbook Pro). Today I updated my iTunes, plugged in my phone, and I got nothing. It's charging...it just won't recognize my phone. Weird, huh?
I haven't tried to restore it yet though. I can't stand losing text messages sent between backups...so I'm hoping I can wait this out and not lose those messages...

Itunes 7 and ipod will not talk. No WAY TO RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS!

Hi,
update to itunes 7, plugged in my ipod and got the message "itunes cannon read the contents of the ipod "IPOD" Go to the Summary tab in ipod prefrences and click Restore to restore the ipod to factory settings".
But there is no ipod prefrences tab in itunes becuase itunes can't read the contents of the ipod! A reset through the ipod did no good!
I am now stuck with a ipod that can not talk to itunes! How can I reset my ipod to factory defaults if itunes does not see it? And no, the old updater does not work, it says you must update through itunes 7.
How do I fix this ?

This is all interesting and much of it consistent with problems I'm having across of the iPODs we have within our household since migrating to iTunes Release 7! Both our past generation and current iPOD can no longer be synched with iTunes. I seriously hope Apple addresses this issue soon! I've tried numerous approaches. I can't get my wife and daughter's iPOD minis to synch at all! My generation 3 I am able to force it to update by unstalling and reinstalling the driver in Windows. Then by uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. It will then load the music from iTunes on to my iPOD. iTunes will indicate the update is complete but the iPOD will not indicate the update is complete. Appreciate any thoughts or ideas that others may discover to resolve. I'm currently convinced this is an issue with iTunes Release 7 though as I'm not able to get any of our iPODs to work which includes my gen 3, our minis or nanos.

Itunes 7 and ipod issues

Downloaded the new version, I go to upload my ipod and nothing happens. It freezes up my ipod......also, I went and tried to see how to update it manually or automaticially, this is what is posted:
When the iPod icon appears in the iTunes window (below Devices), select it.
If the Summary pane isn't showing, click the Summary tab
UG! There isnt a a device or summary tab......what is the deal???

Hi...
Yesterday I tried to watch a movie from a 5G Ipod in my macbook with Itunes 7.0.1....
Itunes recognized the Ipod but unfortunately it was impossible to watch any movie or video... there wasn't any problem listening music from the Ipod... !!!
The most strange was, I decided to quit trying in the macbook, and went to my old pc windows with Itunes... the Ipod was recognized and I could watch the movie without any problem...
Today... I went to the Apple store in Rotterdam (netherlands) where I bought the macbook, we try with another Ipod in my macbook, and it didnt work, then, we tried the Ipod in another macbook and it didn't work either.
I am little bit dissapointed, because It is supposed that an Ipod should work efficiently with a new macbook!!!!...
I do not know if I have missed to set in the system something before using the Ipod...
Hope that somebody could give me a good advise...
regards

ITunes download and iPod sync

I have been having trouble with my iPod Classic and iTunes for months. I downloaded a new version around the begining of the 7.0 version and my iPod Classic has not been recognized by iTunes ever since. I have done all of the 5 steps with no luck. Now I have removed iTunes completly to try again. When I try to download the latest version it goes to the next screen and thanks me for downloading the program but never actually performs the download.
I'm getting pretty choked. Can anyone help me out?

I assume you mean you lost your library? If so, short answer is Yes, if you sync your iPod using auto updating those tracks will be removed from your iPod.
How did you lose the library? Perhaps those tracks are still safely on your hard drive and you just need to rebuild a new library with those files.

Windows 7 iTunes 9 and Ipod touch Second Gen

I have upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and now to iTunes 9. When I attempt to sync my iPod, it begins the process, which will last for about 1 minute. Then it freezes and reports back the the iPod is no longer connected. I also witnessed that one of my four cores on my CPU becomes locked at 100%, my sound becomes very cracked and the only way to resolve the issue is to reboot. I can honestly say that I did not try to sync my iPod since I upgraded to Windows 7.
I uninstalled iTunes multiple times and reinstalled and still had the same error. I have also tried unplugging my iPod and replugging it back into the system and I got another error that it could not detect my iPod, yet Windows did find it as a device. I have reset my iPod as well just to be safe. Any idea's or is this just going to be a Windows 7 related issue and I will be sans iPod till they actually test and fix this in the future?

I have been having the same troubles as you with itunes 9 and windows 7 with a 16gb 3g iphone. I did a full wipe restore then upgrade to 3.1.2 as I do with every update. Now I just recently began using windows 7 and it seems broken as I was only once able to get some songs to sync. I have actually wiped out windows and reinstalled and started over and still the same.
