ITUNES CAN'T UPDATE IP0D MINI

this little thing pops up at the bottom of my laptop(windows xp) and something like chsdk utility or something like that. now that ipod mini's are off the market are they not compatible with itunes? what do i need to do to get this gazillionth situation solved!!
please help!

Have you tried to reset it?
Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this while your iPod is connected to your computer.
Does your iPod update itself manually or automatically? Try this: Select your new songs by placing a check before the song name, click "File" and then go down to "Update iPod". See if that works.

    My iTunes can't update to 11.0.1 because of error code 2203 ???

    Chris,
    Are you trying to use the auto updater? Forget it.
    Download the update manually from the Adobe site to your desktop and run it also manually from there.

    Print and follow the instructions from there.
    The Adobe auto updater has been a piece of cr@p for years and years.

  • Can't update IPOD mini

    Hey, does anyone know how to solve this problem? Usually when u plug in the ipod mini, it will show "do not disconnect' icon on the ipod mini. But now it does not do that. It just charge my ipod mini. My main question is why can't the ITUNE read the ipod mini that i connected to the pc. I can't update a single song to the ipod mini at all. Please help me.
    Thanks~!!

    First, try resetting the iPod with it connected. Try several times if it doesn't work the first.

  • IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

    Hi there,
    For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
    Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)

    now I have no music in iTunes. Luckily, I'd renamed my iTunes folder, and moved it onto my desktop.

Can someone tell me the best was to get my 3,000-odd songs (and the folders/playlists they're in, etc., back into iTunes?
    If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

  • Can't restore new phone through backup without updating itunes, can't update itunes without deleting those backups.

    I've got a big problem i'm hoping you guys can help with.
    I recently updated my iTunes but now it refuses to open at all. I've googled this and it says that i need to just uninstall and then reinstall itunes, as the new 64 bit version has come out. My problem is this: I NEED the old itunes data that i have to sync contacts with my new phone. I made backup copies before my old iphone 4 crapped out, but i can't sync my new iphone with these copies without updating. however, i can't update without uninstalling everything and deleting my backups. see the problem here?
    please help!

    Hello viclotto,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you need to update iTunes but you have concern for your information in iTunes. It is unlikely that any of your purchased or uploaded data would be affected affected by uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but I would recommend making sure your iTunes library has been backed up. Your contacts are not stored in iTunes but rather in the contacts program of your Windows computer. Deleting and reinstalling iTunes will not affect your contact data that is stored in your computer. 
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    Media you've bought from the iTunes Store or songs you've imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. They won't be deleted by removing iTunes. Although it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any of your iTunes Library when following the steps below, first make sure that your iTunes library is backed up. See iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive for more information.
    Steps
    Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then restart your computer.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Don't uninstall these components in a different order, or only uninstall some of them. Doing so might have unintended affects.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Can I update 2012 mini with sad drive?

    can I update 2012 macmini with ssd drive?

    Take a look at the video Illaass pointed to, it shows what you'll have to do. If you've never poked inside the innards of a computer before, it looks a bit scary but its pretty easy to do if you view the video a couple times and take it slowly. But I honestly have to say it is closer to a moderate task than an easy task so you may want to take den.thed's advice and find an independant Apple service provider. You won't get this done at an Apple store.
    Another possibility is to get an SSD in a thunderbolt or USB3 enclosure. It won't be quite as fast as if it were installed internally but you won't lose much and if you decide against doing the upgrade yourself it will probably be less expensive than going to an AASP.

  • HT1338 Can I update my Mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2?

    My Mini -- 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 —is "mid 2007". 
    What happens if I try to install Mtn Lion?
    Because there is a lot of buggy stuff about 10.7.x.  For instance,
    Wifi does not maintain a steady connection when using a non-airport wireless router (maddening when it goes "looking for Networks" when there is a steady signal coming from the modem.  This is consistently a buzz-kill when streaming virtually any video, and consistently happens w/ netfix.
    No, it's not the wifi router.  Non-Apple equip has rock steady wifi signal and smooth, HD streaming.
    Hardwired w/ Cat5, streaming video is no problem--and yes, I have trashed and reloaded Airport Utility, which definitely appears to be the culprit.
    Itunes does all kinds of wonky things w/ smart playlists, etc/. etc. 
    Bluetooth has a mind of it's own--forgetting it's already paired to an Apple keyboard and trackpad when I power up another Mac within 20 feet.
    DVD Player is so eratic I have given up and gone to VLC altogether--not quite as elegant an interface, but at least it's consistent AND alows me to jump over the junk promos studios insist I can't skip when played on DVD Player
    In short —All the usual loose ends the software update never gets around to addressing, but that typically an upgrade will fix.
    Theoretically, Mtn. Lion will only work on 2009 and later Mini's, but aside from buggy OS, (and, uh, eratic breaks in wifi signal) this mini works fine as a media center.
    So what happens if I try to upgrade?
    Is there perhaps a firmware update or a work around?
    Yes, I am aware the unit is 5 years old, but I am strongly opposed to being strong-armed into buying new equip because of Apple's ever increasing tendency to eliminate legacy compatibillity.  Sure it's good for Apple, but terrible for both the environment and people like me on a fixed income in this economy.  Why toss a perfectly functional unit just to make the richest corporation in the world (or 2nd, whatever) richer?
    Thanks

    Many thanks for your prompt reponse.  I expected as much, but thought the question worth asking. 
    Must admit it escapes why Mtn Lion should not be more broadly accessible, except for the blatant greed factor, which is growing increasingly tiresome. 
    I bought my 1st PowerBook in the late 80's for close to $3,000 and was a loyal evangelist for decades—both purchasing and recommending many, many Macs, until I started to buy a new MacBook Pro last year and encountered all that thunderbolt/HDMI baloney.  Then I started taking a harder look at whether Apple was genuinely attemtping to meet loyal user's needs, or simply exploiting the strength of the brand by non-legacy compatibility to drive increased sales.
    Looking around a tad after I posted, the erratic wifi problem appears to be endemic--not just minis and not just 10.7.
    I've gone through all the fixes, but Lion stubbornly persists in giving the flakest wif around--which is my main reason for wanting to try Mtn. Lion.  The rest of the new, uh, "features" definitely strike me as onanistic tweaking added gimmicks in the OS for tweaker's sake--no significant gain in usability.
    Remember when stability was the Apple OS's chief virtue?  Ah, those were the days!
    Now I am waiting for the Kool-Aid quaffers to start wising up before I can begin shorting the grossly over-valued stock.  The iPhone is losing ground fast.  Arrogant development and marketing strategies the likes of which driving Apple these days never last forever.  Remember as well when Microsoft caused fear and trembling with it's heedless hegemony?  Or how about IBM?  Or AOL?  Technology has a way of dealing with hubris.
    Best wishes for all, &c.

  • 2G iPod touch. Itunes can't update, can't restore

    I've been getting random app crashes on my ipod touch and wanted to to first try a restore, and if that didn't work update to 4.1.
    When I click the Restore button, there are two progress bar in sequence:
    - Extracting software
    - Verifying ipod restore with Apple
    And then an error message:
    "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Any idea why or what I can do to restore.
    So I tried to do an update. But I get this message:
    "This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version"
    This message make no sense for a reply to pushing the ipod update button. Is there something wrong with having the latest version?
    Any info or help on eother of these problems?

    zdevine,
    I have a g4 mac mini running 10.4 (Tiger) which won't run iTunes 10. And you need iTunes 9.2 to upgrade an ipod to 4.1.
    Strange, that software update says 9.1 is the latest for 10.4, because I discovered a 9.2 installer on some download site.
    I downloaded 9.2 from this non-apple site and installed 9.2 no sweat. Then I could upgrade the iPod to 4.1. There may be fewer app crashes on the iPod, but a lot of things seem a lot slower.

  • I Can't Update my Mini! Please help me!

    Hi, I recently bought a laptop, so I transferred my Ipod mini and iTunes library to that computer. My brother put a bunch of songs on the iTunes on our desktop pc, so that he could borrow my iPod and listen to his stuff; I can't seem to find a way to put the songs he downloaded on the desktop into my iPod though. I've been trying everything I can think of, I've been trying to add different folders to the library, and I also updated to iTunes 7.0, but nothing is working. I can't find a way to transfer his limewire songs into my itunes either.
    How do I put the songs from the desktop into my iPod? Help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • ITunes can't update IPod software

    Hi
    since I have downloaded iTunes 7 I get an error message when trying to update the iPod [5thh gen] software.
    I get the message "you don't have enough access privileges".
    and teh updater stops -
    The iPod works fine - but I don' understand why the updater does not work. I have repaired the permissions as well but no luck

    I too am suffering from this! I spent my money for the 2.2 update which Apple were VERY quick to take. But I cannot get the ipod touch to update; same error as you guys :
    "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod <mine>. You do not have permissions to access the requested resource. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I was also getting an "unknown error (-4)" earlier as well.
    I've read up on the laughable troublshooting support pages and the only mention of a solution was to go to one's local dir and remove previous ipod software update files, which I did - v1.1.4 and v1.1.5. And when I try to redo it, I can see the 2.2 update file temporarily appear but then it vanishes right when the error message pops up.

  • Can't Update iTunes = Can't Update iPhone

    In order to update my iPhone 3GS (currently version 3.1.2) to OS 4, it seems that I have to update iTunes to version 10. The caveat is that with OSX Tiger (10.4.11) I can't do that. Any ideas on updating my iPhone without having to buy Leopard? (Working student here, not like I've got a grand sitting around for a new computer when my current one works fine for school.)

    I found a link for iTunes 9.1.1, which might help out!

  • New iPhone 5 Mac OX 10.5.8 can't use my iPhone on iTunes, can't update iTunes.

    Hi,
    I have just purchased an iPhone 5 but when I went to connect it to my Macbook (2008 - OX 10.5.8) I saw I needed to update iTunes, when I went to do this I saw I couldn't because my Mac is too old to support Itunes 11. So I have a dilemma, even though my macbook is only 4 years old.
    Is there a way around this issue? It is my only computer and it obviously has all my music and contacts and well, everything.
    Thanks!

    If it is 4 years old is it an Intel based MacBook?  If so, all you need to do is upgrade your operating system from 10.5 to Snow Leopard which is 10.6 and once you have done this you can upgrade iTunes and connect your phone.
    Contact the Apple store and they should be able to send you a Snow Leopard disc either for free or for a small amount and then upgrade your system and then you can upgrade iTunes and every other upgrade from there is disc free and will be done through the Mac App Store.
    If your Mac is not an Intel based Mac then you won't be able be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard and in this case you are looking at buying a new computer, however, a 2008 MacBook should be Intel based so you should be okay.
    The iPhone 5 box does make it clear and the iPhone 5 is only compatible with Intel based Macs running Snow Leopard and then iTunes 7.

  • ITunes can't read my Mini

    Nothing new other than iTunes7. Plugged in my iPod and got the iTunes cannot read iPod, please restore. Not really that big of a deal to me, I've got all my music here. However, when I click OK, my iPod disappears from the left side of iTunes so there is no way for me to restore. I've tried Apple's website for the old iPod updater and it just sends me to the iTunes page and says iTunes now does the updating. Any ideas on how to restore my iPod since iTunes is now being goofy?
    Thanks in advance

    Well, I appreciate the help, but that didn't seem to fix it. I actually need to restore (the kind that removes all files) but iTunes won't let me. I'm using 6.xx on my desktop and I've upgraded to 7 on my laptop and I get the same error message on both. As I mentioned above, when I click OK on the error message, my iPod disappears from the left side of iTunes which makes it impossible (as far as I know) to restore.
    I can listen to the stuff that's on there, but I can't add anything. Very frustrating.

  • ITunes can't update brand new iPhone 6  to iOS 8 1.1.

    Hello!
    I had an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1 installed and I just bought an iPhone 6+. I wanted to configure the 6+ using 5's backup but I got a message saying it couldn't be done because the the OS in 6+ was "too old" and asked me if I wanted to update it. I clicked on update and the problems began...
    1) iTunes downloaded the new iOS version and automatically started updating my iPhone 6+ but it couldn't complete the process
    2) I got a pop up window saying that my phone couldn't be updated and that it needed to be restored to its factory settings. Since the phone was empty (because it's new) I click on "restore and upgrade"
    * The only options I got were "Restore and upgrade" or "cancel"
    3) iTunes started "extracting software" and then installing it into the iPhone. It got the "verifying with Apple" and then the "Waiting for Apple" messages in the iTunes screen.
    On the phone I got the Apple logo with the progress bar (empty)
    4) I got a pop up window with the "your phone couldn't be restored - Error 6" message.
    5) When I clicked OK, iTunes automatically ejected the phone (it disappeared from the upper bar) but the phone itself got stuck in the Apple logo WITH THE PROGRESS BAR (empty).
    6) When I unplugged the phone from the computer I got the "connect to iTunes" screen and it got stuck there.
    7) If I close iTunes and plug the phone again, I get the "restore and upgrade" message again but it fails at the same point.
    This is what I've done so far trying to solve the problem:
    a) I did the "restore and update" process at least 5 times (I lost count) without success.
    b) I rebooted my computer and changed the USB cable to different ports.
    c) I tried the whole "connect to iTunes, press and hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time, etc" tip but it didn't work.
    NOTE: I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm connecting the USB cable directly to the computer, I'm not using a hub
    I'm at my wit's end and I would really appreciate any advice '( you could give me. It's so frustrating to have a new phone and not being able to use it!
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hello again!
    I just wanted to update this thread in case someone has the same problem.
    I checked the firewall and antivirus and they weren't the ones causing the problems. The IT guy at my office checked the phone for me. Since he is the one who updates, fix, prepare the iPads used by some employees of the company, he has all the privileges in the system to download/update iTunes and iOS but he couldn't fix it either.
    Then I took the phone to the authorized technical service and they couldn't fix it either. So I had to go back to my phone company and they had to give me a new phone. I was the unlucky person that got the defective iPhone But at least I was lucky enough to get a replacement immediately before they sold out.

  • Unable to Upgrade to new itunes-can't update music on ipods

    When I try to upgrade my windows32 to the new 10.6 itunes after it runs through the calculations I receive the following message:
    There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. 
    A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    I have defragged and checked/repaired errors and tried again with the same result.
    I am unable to make changes to ipods because it states it needs the upgraded itunes.
    Thank you.

    I suspect you missed out a step in the transfer process somewhere that was designed to avoid this situation...
    The exclamation mark shows if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
    Ctrl-click on an empty check box will check them all...
