Need help with iPod updater

I recently downloaded the iPod updater for my iPod Nano, but everytime i try to open it, it doesnt come up. I tried downloading the iPod updater a second time, but still the same results. I click on it, and the little hour glass shows up as if its about to open but then it just goes away and the app doesnt open. If someone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Just out of curiosity, did you download the correct version of the updater - i.e., the Windows version versus the Mac version? Just had to ask.

    Is there any way to unUpdate an iPod?
    Thanks for your help.

    By the way, I suggest you do not put Linux on you iPod, as you will loss the warranty immediately. Also when your iPod get into trouble, it is not easy to revert back

  • Windows 8.1 need help with Windows Updates and Start menu Or fix my old Windows Xp system

    My beloved windows Xp has gave up after many years of working well. It stopped working a few days ago after a lightening strike.
    I got this Windows 8.1 computer a few month ago  but it seems to have a problem. I stopped using it after could not get start menu to work and when back to my Windows XP system.
    First problem is the start menu is not there. I tried installing something and it says it will take control or something and screen goes black. I clicked canceled quickly in order not to get a virus.
    Where is the start menu?
    Second problem, Windows updates does not want to update because it needs Windows 8.1 update. This computer is already Windows 8.1. There I canceled it since it was mostly a virus. Now updates are not working.
    If those can not be fixed, how can i fix my Windows Xp to get it back. It does not turn on, I press button and nothing happens. Is this something easy to fix?

    Another user discovers that Windows 8.1 is not at all of what it should be.
    There is no Start Menu in Windows 8 or 8.1.  However, you can restore your desktop start menu with a very good freeware application: 
    Classic Shell
    Windows Update comes with Windows 8.1.  There is nothing special you have to do.
    It kind of sounds like you've been a bit too quick to download and run whatever you find on the Internet.  You should always research any software you're considering downloading/installing ahead of time.  Google it.  See what others say
    about it.  Ask on forums.  In order to use Windows effectively and safely you need to expand your knowledge and become a more sophisticated user.
    If you think your new system has become infected, you might want to consider Refreshing or Resetting it to a clean state, or at least visiting one of the anti-malware forums and getting some advice on cleaning it up.  But beware, a lot
    of "blind leading the blind" happens on forums.  Always try to read between the lines, and question what people say.
    You could consider leaving XP behind.  Its time has come and gone, and pretty much any newer version of Windows can actually give you better service than XP - once you get it tuned up.
    It's possible to make Windows 8.1 more functional than XP and about as functional as Windows 7, but it takes a fair bit of effort in reconfiguration and installation of some well-known 3rd party applications that are good (which, unfortunately, most
    on the internet are not).
    Good luck to you.

  • Need help with understanding updates, partitions, firmware etc.

    I went to update my QuickTime and in doing so was told to update my OS which included QT updates. Now I'm getting all kinds of messages about partitions, firmware etc. do not understand at all what's going on.

    THIS IS MY STEP BY STEP situation with my updates:
    I go to the Apple Icon and selected Software Update and it reads I have 2 items:
    MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2
    MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
    I select Install and then it state Installs completed successfully.
    BUT THEN I recieve and new icon and this message below: 
    To update the SMC firmware on your MacBook:
    Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source, or your battery must be at least 25% charged.
    For more information see 'http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3499'.
    1. Quit all other open applications.
    2. Click Restart in the MacBook SMC Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart.
    The SMC firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update. During the update your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.
    Important: Do not interrupt the update.
    Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the MacBook SMC Firmware Update.
    3.  Click OK. The SMC firmware is now up-to-date.
    If these instructions appear on your screen again, the SMC firmware update was not successful. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
    I follow the instructions and then I get this: (could get my image to attach but here's what it said)
    the first error message heading of:
    MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
    Your firmware could not be updated, the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported.  You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2434 for more information (internal error 28:3)
    THEN ANOTHER ONE POPS UP saying:
    Your Hard Drive partition scheme is not supported, you must be booted from a GUID partition scheme.
    see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html? artnum=303609 for more information
    I went to those URL and tried to understand what it was telling me but I did not understand.  I can't figure, by reading thru forums, etc, if I need to do this or not and what exactly it is.
    So back to just pushing a simplet update has thrown all this unknown info. my way and I have no clue what to do.
    Thank you. Hope this is more clear.

    So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att.

  • Need help with Ipod demensions

    I had a 15gb 3rd gen. I need to replace it with an ipod of the same exact size. If I have to get another 15gb that is fine. I also have a 30gb 3rd gen and it is thicker. I read somewhere that the 3rd gen 40gb is the same size as the 15gb?? Can I get a 4th gen? It can be a little thinner but the outside dimensions need to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.

    why do you need an ipod the exact same size as an old ipod...? HuH?...xXxmartinxXx

  • Help! I have a Used Mac Book Pro need help with apps update

    My ex bought me a mac book pro and purchased all of the apps and uploaded the apps under is apple id. I just recently update the new software now i can't get access to iPhoto, and other apps because its asking me for my password but his apple id coming up is there any way i re install these apps under my apple id. Please help I can used iPhoto.

    You cannot use or upgrade anything that is registered with his Apple ID. You must re-purchase it all using your Apple ID and your iTunes account. This includes the operating system as well. Essentially, you erase the drive and start from scratch. Here's how to get started:
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. You can decide which apps you want to purchase (or download free) from the App Store where you will set up your own account and your own Apple ID if you don't have one.

  • Need help with ipod & itunes

    Hey everyone.
    I just got a ipod video and i went to my friends house and put a whole bunch of songs on it. Well i want those songs on my ipod video onto my itunes on my home computer but i cant seem to get them on without over writting the songs on my ipod video with the songs on my itunes already, which i dont want to happen because i dont want to loose any of the songs on my ipod video. Someone please help me.

    1) go back to your friends house and put all the song files you want into a folder on his computer.
    2) plug in your ipod to his computer and enable disk use.
    3) then open it up from "my computer", you'll see a few folders like "notes", "contacts" etc.
    4) drag and drop the folder you created with all the song files. Don't put this in one of the ipod's pre-made folders.
    5) go home, open your ipod again from disk use and select the folder you made with all the song files. drag and drop this anywhere you want in your computer (I suggest putting it with where you store more music)
    Lastly you need to import these songs, open itunes and select File>Add Folder to Library. you will then select the folder of music from your friends house, wherever you dropped it.
    After you have added the songs to your library you are free to delete ONLY the folder you created in your iPod (with the music files from your friend).
    Hope this helps

  • Hey please read need help with ipod

    how do I set my playlist so if i hook up my ipod it only downloads my songs but if anyone else hooks up there ipod there songs won't come into my playlist? PLEASE HELP
    Message was edited by: Alissa-55

    first of all, i'm not sure if i understand your question fully but i believe you just want your OWN playlist so that you can put the songs YOU want on it and no one ELSE can put their music in it?
    if that's the case, you just need to make your own playlist on your ipod.
    open up itunes and near the top, select "file".
    select "new playlist".
    this new playlist should appear on the left-hand side of itunes under 'playlists' right at the bottom. when it appears, it will read 'untitled playlist'. click it once then again, so that you are able to name the playlist to your liking.
    when it comes to putting songs into your own playlist, you can drag any song from your itunes library. choose a song from your itunes library and drag it over to your designated playlist til you see your playlist is outlined with blue and your cursor has a plus sign just below it.
    hope that helps.
