Nano won't take updates (error 1417)

Hi, my Nano won't let me take the newest updates. If is giving me and error message 1417. That's all it is stating.
My Nano won't let me dissconnect either. There is another message...The device 'Generic Volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later."
I just want it work cause I paid for a product that seems like after the warrenty is up it turns to crap.
Please help!

I have followed the instructions but failed to restore my iPod.
I could not use my iPod now as the iPod screen only show "Use iTune to restore".
Should I send the iPod to service centre or any other step I could take?

    Call the home stereo manufacturer. You need to find out from them if their docking system is compatible with the iPod Nano 5th gen with video.
    From the iPod Nano FAQ
    *+Question: Can I connect iPod to my home stereo?+*
    *+Answer: Yes.* With its powerful 60 mW amplifier and 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, iPod will sound great on your home stereo. Third-party stereo adapters are available for listening to your iPod music library using home stereo speakers. *Compatible devices must be self-powered and support audio output through a 3.5 mm headphone jack.* For optimal sound quality when using external speakers, set the iPod volume at less than half the maximum output and adjust your listening volume through your stereo controls. This prevents overamplification, which can cause distortion and reduce audio quality.+

  • IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

    Hello,
    I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
    The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
    Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
    I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
    Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

    I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?

    Thanks for your time.

    For this, first try going through the dll fix outlines in article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
    If that doesn't work, try doing a selective startup through MSCONFIG (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538), and then updating the iPod.

  • 80GB Classic won't take updates or Sync.

    I have had my I-Pod for about 1 month now and it never had a problem before today.
    When I plugged my I-pod into my computer tonight asked me to upgrade to firmware 1.1.1 I clicked yes and it seemingly worked, but when it completed the update and restarted I was back to square 1 and it asked my to update again like nothing had happened.
    If I choose not to update I then run into one of two sync errors. I am either told that "The iPod "Name of iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Or "The iPod "Name of iPod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found.
    I have tried restoring the iPod and in much the same way as the update install, it seems to restore the iPod, both when it restarts and connects with the computer it is not restored and still contains all the files and data that were on it to begin with.
    I have read through similar problems and have tried the trick of clicking "enable disk use" and using the device manager to "scan for hardware changes" but this does nothing.
    I am suspicious that "enable disk mode" isn't taking since when I disconnect and then reconnect the iPod the box is no longer checked.
    Does anybody have any ideas that might help me?

    I had this very problem.
    It turned out to be a problem with a bad keyword in iPhoto (one I didn't even know of because the picture was e-mailed to me).
    Here is my suggestion: look for the file AlbumData.xml (in Pictures/iPhoto Library) and open it in your browser (for instance Safari). You may have an error message saying your file is incorrect at line x. If such is the case, open AlbumData.xml with an editor and look at that line. It will give you an indication of what went wrong (an unclosed tag with a keyword in my case). Open iPhoto and remove the offending keyword. At this point reboot your computer and your iPod for good measure. Resync.
    It worked for me...

  • Ipod Nano won't turn on - Error exclaimation with folder, support address

    Hi,
    I, like most everyone else it seems, got an ipod nano for Christmas and I can't get it to work now. It worked fine for a week and now I have fully charged it and can't turn it on. Once I "turn it on" it just gives me an exclaimation mark and a folder icon with the support address to apple. On the support website I followed the insturctions to reset, I've reinstalled software...I'm out of ideas (and the hold switch is not on). Anyone?
    Thanks,
    Allison

  • Unable to update to 1.1.1 do I need to? Unknown error (1417)

    iPod Classic 80GB. My software version is 1.0.2. Every time I plug my iPod in I am informaed that a newer version of the software (1.1.1) is available, but every time I try to update I am told that the message "could not be completed. An unknown error has occurred (1417). However, I want to know if updating really makes any difference to the way the iPod runs?
    I don't want to have to restore unless absolutely neccessary as it takes about a day and a half to resync all my music, which means leaving my computer (which is in my bedroom) on overnight.

    You should refer to the link first, since it directly deals with your problem (error 1417). You should try each procedure. You never know what might fix it.
    (ex. even though you think your USB drivers are up-to-date, you should double check and update them).
    If the procedure outlined in the link doesn't work, you could try my procedure.
    As for your question:
    If you have the "Manually Manage Music" ticked in itunes, those are your ipod's settings no matter where you plug your ipod in. If you wish to update using another computer, you could install itunes in another computer, since your ipod is set on Manually Manage Music, it won't sync the new library. A window will likely open asking that your ipod is synced to another library, would you like to sync to this library? Click CANCEL. Then update your ipod.
    Good Luck! And let us know how it went.

  • IPod won't take 1.2 update from iTunes 7

    Hoping someone can help. Upgraded to iTunes 7 but iPod won't take the 1.2 update. When the prompt comes up, I select install and it looks on my computer monitor like it's working, but in about 2 seconds the "Do Not Disconnect" logo on my iPod goes away, despite the fact that the computer is, in theory, trying to update the iPod. Eventually, it tires out and I've gotten the can't update error -50 message. Does the same thing when I try to Restore. Have reset, uninstalled iTunes twice, reinstalled and also reinstalled original iPod disc. Tried most everything on iPod support page.
    Help? Also am seeing very little album artwork which I'm assuming is related.

    (1) next time you connect your ipod, decline to update and put enable disk mode. Then apply the update.
    (2) If that does not work, attach the ipod, format the drive, start itunes, restore & update.
    be warned:
    Method 2 will erase out your ipod and require taht you reload all the music from your pc to the ipod.
    I ended up doing (1) with a nano and (2) with a 3G

  • When I update my nano ipod I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated.  The disk couldnot be read from or written to."   How can I overcome this error message.

    In the iTunes window, when I update my nano ipod, I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated.  The disk could not be read from or written to."   How can I overcome this error message.

    Hello there dilip77707,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
     'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • I updated to iTunes 12 and didn't like it. Followed advice to revert to 11.1. Now my iphone won't sync and error message says I need iTunes 11.2 or higher. Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do?

Apple Download choices didn't have anything between 11.1.5 and 12. What can I do? Using iTunes 12 is not an option. Many features I used for audiobooks have disappeared.

    The version immediately prior to 12 was 11.4.0.18. Here are direct download links from Apple's servers:
