ITunes crashed while iPod software being updated

I didn't notice this variation of the problem in any other post.
I was downloading a CD into iTunes. Meanwhile, I plugged in my iPod (color display). (It happened to be in lock mode at the time.)
The message came up about updating the iPod software, so I decided to give it a shot.
Here's what happened:
The update and the download from the CD both froze. The displays were still there and no error messages came up. They just stopped.
My iPod was not visible in iTunes or my desktop, although the "Do not disconnect" message still showed on the iPod screen, which remains lit but not brightly.
I have re-started the computer. I have tried toggling the lock switch, pressing the center and play buttons simultaneously, I have re-started iTunes, I have unplugged and re-plugged the iPod, but nothing changes in it. I understand now that I had too many processes going, but now what can I try?

Well, it fixed itself. I am grateful when such a little machine can out-think me and solve its own problems.

    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.

    Can you not sync your iPod with iTunes? That should get the movie onto your computer. Now sync your iPad and transfer the movie?

  • I can't open numbers while it's being updated

    Please can someone help! I recently had a Numbers update which didn't complete because it had an error.  I now can't open my numbers application and get the message "can't open numbers while it's being updated".  How can I stop this and re-update it successfully? Thank you.

    I suggest opening LaunchPad (in the Applications folder) then click, and hold, on the Numbers icon until they start to shake.  The click the "X" in the top left corner (or Numbers):
    Now click anywhere else on the background.
    Now open the App store and reinstall.

  • I cannot open numbers.  When I double click on the icon it says "Numbers cannot be opened while it is being updated."  The same is happening with other programs.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks

    I cannot open numbers.  When I double click on the icon it says "Numbers cannot be opened while it is being updated."  The same is happening with other programs.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks

    Well, I figured itout.
    Apparently the Numbers (and Pages) app downloads was stopped and \never re\started.. possibly because of something I did, like turn off my machine during them.
    I went to Apple > App Store > Purchases.  I discovered all three iWorks apps were listed but showed "Resume" as the status button at the right.  I clicked on each to get them started again... and they eventually automatically became "Installed".
    They work, now!

  • ITunes crashes while trying to sync videos during optimizing

    Hello, Folks,
    iTunes crashes while trying to sync during the optimizing phase if there are any videos in the folder.
    If I remove the videos from the folder, the sync succeeds.
    The videos were imported from the iPhone using the Windows 7 import dialog.

  • Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

    Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files.  Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files.  I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes.  Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.  64-bit iTunes.

    @tposchi
    I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

  • Itunes crashes while updating ipod

    can anybody help me with this problem my itunes always crashes while im in the middle of updating my ipod

    Try using the iPod software updater to restore settings to factory default and then upload all you music back onto it.
    If that doesn't work, try to post some more details about it crashing; Does the iPod lock up your system? Does iTunes lock up? Does iTunes shut down?

  • ITunes crashes while updating my iPod

  • After iOS 4 update on iPod Touch, iTunes crashes when iPod is connected.

    I just updated my iPod from 3.1.3 to iOS 4, and after all of that, when I plug in my iPod Touch 2G [version 4.0 (8A293)] to my laptop, iTunes crashes. A window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working," and then iTunes closes automatically. When I do not already have iTunes open and I connect my iPod, iTunes will open and then close a few seconds later with the same pop up box.
    I tried seeing if it was a syncing or connecting issue, so I turned off automatic syncing and the problem still exists. Therefore, I think it is a connection issue.
    *Note: When I was updating to iOS 4, I left and came back to my computer with it running on idle. Could that have had an effect? If so, how can I just redo everything?
    **Another note that may be helpful is that while I do still have all of my music and videos in iTunes (which works totally fine with no iPod attached), the videos and music is NOT on my iPod. But, my apps all work fine on my iPod.
    I would really appreciate any sort of help I could get for this problem. I was really looking forward to the OS update, but now I am disappointed because of this major problem.
    THANK YOU for your help!

    I would try moving the existing iPod backup file to a safe locations and let iTunes make a whole new one.  The location of of the backup file is:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Itunes crashed while updating to ios7 and now my phone is messed up!!

    While updating my iphone4 to ios7, then suddenly itunes crashed( closed) and since then it keep asking me to connect to itunes when i do itunes asks me to restore and i dont have any backup on my computer how can i solve this?

    If you are being asked to restore the iPhone. your data is already gone.
    If you have been using the iPhone as intended, your contacts and
    pictures should already be sycned with your computer. Depending on
    your location, you should be able to download your past iTunes
    purchases (except for items no longer available in iTunes). Text
    messages are gone, unless you can get them from your wireless provider.
    The way to proceed is to connect your iPhone to the computer you usually
    sync with and restore the iPhone. Then use iTunes to put back your
    contacts, pictures, music, etc.  Finally, turn on and use iCloud and start
    a good backup regime to prevent future loss.
