My Ipod mini will not update, help?

I just downloaded iTunes 7, and now when I plug in my ipod, iTunes doesn't come up. Even if I open iTunes, I doesn't "sense" my iPod. I doesn't show up on the list and the "Sync iPod" option under the "File" drop down menu is all greyed out. I also tried using the iPod updater program and it said "Invalid iPod service version". I'd really appreciate some help.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Ipod Mini will not update and sync without mac freezing up

    My ipod mini (4GB) cannot hold all my music so I have to single handedly sort out music i want and don't want. So, one day i decide to click 'restore' so i can just drag and drop playlists. Ever since then itunes freezes up when i plug it in and now it won't recognize it. The only way i can get itunes to respond is by unplugging my ipod mini. Then itunes is fine, like nothing happened. Also i have the most up to date itunes software. i don't know what to do.
    Please help!!

    When the iPod is connected to your computer and in iTunes go to edit-->preferences (in iTunes). Hit the iPod tab. Is it set to automatically update?

  • My ipod mini will not update from itunes.

    I recieve a message saying the ipod is linked to another library and do i want to replace all the songs on my ipod with the current library. How do i transfer the songs in my ipod to my computer?

    This is the message you see when you connect the iPod to a computer that it's not normally associated with. Clicking 'yes' will do exactly what it says and the songs on your iPod will be replaced with the songs in the iTunes library you are now connected to.
    This is how the iPod works. Makes it that much harder to share copyrighted material.
    Do you intend to use the iPod with more than one computer?

  • My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean?

    My Ipod mini will not sync.  I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified.  What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
    Thank you

    Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
    Open My Computer
    Right-click your iPod  -> click Properties.
    Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
    Check "Automatically fix file system error"
    k Start.
    Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
    Good Luck!

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?

  • My iPod Touch will not update... Please help me!

    I have an iPod Touch 8gb model MC540LL and it will not update.  My iTunes program is 10.6 but every time I attempt to download and update the iPod I get the same message "The network connection could not be established." I've tried almost everything I know, even resetting the iPod's factory settings, but that won't work either, it recieves the same infernal message.  Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
    Oh!  And the iPod acts like it no longer has iTunes on it.

  • IPod Mini will not come on, Help please

    Yesterday I was leaving my house and I properly removed my ipod mini from my computer through Itunes. When i reached my car, i pressed the menu button and the ipod mini would not turn on. I figured i would wait. (Seeing as this has happend to me before and the ipod came on in a couple of hours) I tried to turn in on hours later that evening and the ipod would still not turn on and has continued to do that today. Please help if you have any knowledge on this matter.

  • IPod Shuffle will not update

    My iPod shuffle is refusing to do anything. When connected to iTunes (v. 6.0.1), it will not update songs, either automatically or by manually selecting a playlist. The shuffle also will not update using the 2005-11-17 iPod Updater, both buttons are always grayed out. Every time the shuffle is connected to the computer, and I launch iTunes, it says that I need to update the firmware and directs me to download iPod Update 2005-11-17. The iPod still mounts onto the desktop, and shows up in iTunes, but nothing can be done with it. I have tried whipping the shuffle clean, and it still cannot be updated. I have also tired deleting com.apple.iPod.plist, and that doesn’t work either. I have already searched though the forms here and I have yet to find anything that works. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    FINALLY FIX IT!!!
    I found out how to fix this problem. You have to to an archive install of OS 10.4, and then run system updater. Once everything is installed restart, and plug your iPod into your system. Make sure its the 2006-01-10 updater that launches, other wise you can manually download it from the Apple support page. You should then be able to click on the restore button. After this is finished, you can launch iTunes and finally put music on your shuffle.
    It works ... and it only took me 3 iPods from Apple to figure it all out.

  • Ipod clickwheel will not update at all

    My ipod shows up in the Source list, but will not update. When I try to manually update, the update option isn't even available. Background: Yesterday I left my computer on and when I came home, it said that I was low on space and needed to clear some files. In a panic I deleted some songs from the iTunes music folder on the hard drive and then went into iTunes. I thought I deleted the same ones. I'm not too sure at this point. Yes, I know I am supposed to delete from iTunes... Anyway, now it won't update at all. I've tried reset and yes, I have all the latest software. Please help!

  • Ipod touch will not update!

    My ipod touch will not let me update to the most current software or even restore my ipod to factory settings. It will let me download, but when it is done and ready to install I get a message "There was a problem downloading the ipod software. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Does anyone know what this means? I never seemed to have a problem until I downloaded that January update a few months ago.
    I even tried reinstalling itunes but that did not help. Any help or suggestions are appreciated

    Hi Ed, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think you'd have far better luck in the iPod touch section, or maybe the Windows part...
