New ipod update breaks Mopar Jeep integration car kit

I updated to iTunes 7 and did the ipod update on my 5G ipod that came with it. It has broken my Mopar ipod Jeep Integration kit to listen to my ipod in the car. I get the message from the car that says "update firmware," which I assume means that the car can't recognize the new firmware. I'm downgrading now, but what I want to know is, are future ipod updates going to break my car kit every time? Is it something apple can fix or mopar? Does anyone have this problem with their car integration and ipod updates? Also, can I run iTunes 7 with the last working version of firmware, or will I lose the new movie and game features? Any other stories/workarounds/information would be great, the documentation with the Mopar kit is horrible...

I downgraded to the last ipod update by downloading it from apple and don't seem to have any problems with iTunes 7 or my car now, aside from iTunes telling me my ipod isn't up to date yet. I still would like to know if I will ever be able to update my ipod again or if I am "stuck" with this version of the ipod software? I don't like that I can't update it again without it breaking my car integration. Hopefully they fix that in next release.

New iPod Updater will not download in iTunes 7.0

When I plug in my iPod it asks me if I want to Download and Install the new iPod Updater for iTunes 7.0, but when I click yes it tells me that I am not connected to the internet when I clearly am. Everything else works fine including the iTunes Store so I don't know why it wont update the updater. If someone could help with this it would be great, it's been driving me crazy!

I found the solution on my own here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468

How is the new iPod Update?

hi there...
this morning i woke up and found out there is a new iPod updater...
i have some converted videos into iPod format...
i wonder they might cause a problem or be in conflict with the new iPod update...
any ideas???

I updated both itunes to version 6.0.5 and the ipod to version 1.1.2
Every worked great after the updates and my videos work fine. All my encoded videos work fine.

WILL THERE BE A NEW IPOD UPDATE SOON???

Hey,
Almost all 60GB 5G video ipod owners are having problems with video playback (freezes after 30 sec) using the new ipod software update 1.1. I had this problem also so I downgraded to the original software 1.0 however I am looking to purchase a radio remote that they just came out with but it requires this new upgrade to have the radio option on the ipod. So my question is: Will there be a new update that will fix this bug so that I can use BOTH the radio remote and be able to play videos back without the freezing (the 1.0 software plays video perfect, 1.1 makes videos freeze). It seems like apple is aware of this problem and has not released a new update to accomodate its customers as of yet. Is this in the works (if so how soon should we expect it?) or do they plan on just screwing its customers over who don't own itunes purchased videos or those converted using their quicktime pro? If thats the case I think theyre being unreasonable and unfair. Thanks a lot for any helpful response you may have!

Your problem is with your choice of conversion software and the profile it uses. There is nothing wrong with the IPOD last update. To my knowledge, Apple never stated they could or would support the many flimflam conversion software makers out to make a quick buck. I had my 30 and 60 Gb 3 days after they hit the market. Both play all types of video files converted using the MPEG Simple Profile. I use industry proven software and not "Freeware" spliced together. I have proved this point many times over the past few months to IPOD owners reporting this problem. Why do my files play and theirs don't? Well on Feb 24, I gave access to my server to download videos converted properly to IPOD owners via another website. My server went to 100% load within the first half hour. Over 6,000 files were downloaded within 1 hour. No one to date via the link I posted, reported any problems playing the files on the 1.1 IPOD Update. Many thanked me for the effort. I don't make my servers directly available to the public as routine, but was convinced this public test would put an end to the many complaints. In addition, over 60 individuals sent me files converted by software that they use or purchased. Of the 60 files 12 were just plain corrupted and the remianing 48 files revealed that the audio and video was not in compliance with the IPODs hardware specifications. I am 100% certain that Apple is aware of the complaints concerning this issue. So what do you expect them to do, fix their hardware or make the software makers fix theirs?
I have and tested the following devices. All have a mix of different video standards.
IPOD 30 and 60g
Creative Zen and Zen Vision M:
Archos Gmini 402, AV 500 and AV 700
iRiver PMC-120 and just received the "New" U10
iStation V43

Do a little research using Google and you would be amazed at the solutions to this issue you are having. Good Luck!

IPod updater breaks iPod Mini

my iPod mini has worked fine for over a year, only a couple of freezes that were easily corrected by a reset.
yesterday I download the latest iTunes, and the iPod Updater 2005-9-23. Since then my Mini refuses to download more than 2-3 songs without locking.
I've restored to factory defaults a number of times.
i've restored to the previous iPod mini version a few times.
I can't (easliy) restore to the previous version of iTunes.
The only solution on any of the boards I can find is 'restore to factory'. Well I've been doing that most of today with no success.
Would someone from Apple like to explain what's going on? I'll be darned if I spend GBP132 sending it off for a repair when I'm sure it's just software.

Thanks Scott but that is exactly what I was referring to.
I can't tell whether it's iTunes or the iPod updater that has caused the problem. Frankly I'm not convinced that rhe 'Restore iPod' function really does what it says. If it did then by using the previous updater I should have been restoring to the exact same version that worked well until Wednesday.
And if that was the case then the latest iTunes downdate is the cause of the problem.

New iPod update.

Does anyone have any idea when the next iPod update will be available, considering that it's been a while since the last one?

We have no idea, as we do not work for apple...

New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

New Ipod update screwed up my ipod and now it won't connect

My computer got reset over the weekend and I had to put all my ipod songs on the computer again. I did that and was about to connect my ipod to sync to the new Itunes. I decided to download and install the new update (which I had been avoiding doing for a while) for the ipod. It downloaded it, but when it tried to install it on my ipod, he gave me an error message. Now, all my ipod Touch shows me is a picture of a USB cord, the Itunes icon and an arrow pointing between the USB and the Itunes icon. I think this means to connect it to Itunes but Itunes doesn't find it when I connect the ipod. I've tried restarting the ipod but it doesnt work and I can't bring it back to factory settings if I can't connect it to itunes.

hi hanka
you can do a few things (but make sure that all your music on your touch is safely sotred on your computer otherwise if you reset it you could lose all your music on your touch but not on your computer.
1. press and hold the home button the square at the bottom of the itouch for about 6 seconds (maybe a bit more).
2. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1394
3.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
reseting your ipod deletes everything on it (not number 1.) But as you are syncing your music it should be easy to restore.
to reset you hold the sleep/wake button and the home button for about 10 seconds then slide the bar to turn off your ipod and connect to your computer it will notify you (if all goes to plan) that its going restore or reset your ipod. if your music is on your computer then your music will be safe.
if none of this works apple has a returns policy if it is less than a year old and they should replace it unless you have done something that is against the warranty.

New iPod update has messed up my Artist list!!!

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me out, as this problem is causing a great deal of annoyance & frustration. My iPod recently that there was a new update to download, which I did. However, once I did this, this has greatly messed up my Artist listings. For example, I had the Ozzy Osbourne "Prince Of Darkness" set on my iTunes. Disc 3 of this set is Ozzy with other artists, so the Artist name on these songs are written as Ozzy with Primus, Ozzy with Type O Negative, etc. I have it written as Artist Sort Name: Ozzy Osbourne and not listed as a compilation, so that it still lists under the name of Ozzy Osbourne in Artist List. Before the update download, everything was nicely organized under this one name. Now however, every different name (ie. ...with Primus, ...with Type O Negative) is now listed in Artists under Ozzy Osbourne. This is only one of many examples were this has occured, so as can be imagined, my Artist List is now greatly disorganized. It is very frustrating, especially since I have been spending a lot of time trying to organize my iPod. Can you please tell me how I can get things straight again. Thanks,
-Colin

Well we don't even know you, so why us? we are just users of Apple equipment, like you are, well maybe not quite like you are but you know what I mean.
Curb the attitude and describe your issues and someone may help.
Here's one to start with, the little grey wheel that went around and around while Mountain Lion and Mavericks got started has been replaced by an blue bar that gets longer. It's normal.

New iPod update 1.2.1

Hi all,
I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook Pro (for the first time) and it said there was an update available for it. Has anyone updated there iPods with it yet? Will it screw something up? Does this contain the rumored cover flow, (check out MacDailyNews, some say it's fake). Or did this update warning pop up simply because it was the first time conecting to the MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2gig-2.33mHz-256vram

The update didn't screw up my iPod and no, it does not add Coverflow.

New iPod Updater

When I went to check if there was any new software, I noticed that in the new software, one of the new changes is a volume limit. What is that?
Thanks for your help.

It seems to be an update for the Nano and 5G iPods, I don't know if it will work on others. There's more about it at this link if you are interested: "Setting the maximum volume limit on iPod" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303414.

New ipod update formatted my ipod and backup failed

I tried to update my ipod with the newest software last night, and it completely formatted my ipod, erasing important contacts, notes, etc.. And to add to this the itunes back up of my ipod failed and only saved my music. What can I do?

Try restoring the iPod from backup. The backup contains your contacts and some other stuff while music is not part of your backup but is synced to your iPod. If you go to the Devices tab in iTunes' preferences you can see if you have a backup and find the date of the backup.

New Ipod Update - summary view

I recently updated my Ipod software and now I-tunes only shows the summary/music/podcast/contacts settings. I can't see and adjust the music on the actual ipod. Does anyone have an answer for this? Software version is 3.1.1. I have already restore the default settings once and it is still the same.

Same problem here.
On the iPod, if I go to: Settings > About > on my iPod (5G)
It shows:
Songs: 0
Videos: 0
Photos: 46
Capacity: 74.3 GB
Available: 19.5 GB
Version: 1.2.2
S/N: *****
Model: MA450LL
So it knows there is stuff on the drive, but Music, Videos, and Playlists are blank. My Photo Library appears untouched, along with Extras, and Settings.
iTunes however, still sees everything as it was before, when I plug it into my MBP. I haven't done the iTunes update yet, I'm still on 7.3.1
I can't get it to reset, but maybe that only works when it freezes up.

New flash update breaks youtube (11.7.700.169)

I just downloaded and installed the newest flash update (11.7.700.169) and now youtube.com is broken. Please fix.
System info:

500 Internal Server Error
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, show them this information:

Internal Server Error means that an error occurred on the Youtube server, not on your machine.

NEW SECURITY UPDATE BREAKS MAIL

Everything is set as it was before. None of my popmail accounts can connect, getting the error:
"The server returned the error: The attempt to read data from the server “pop.embarqmail.com” failed."
Tried changing the authentication to one account to ALL the various choices, no change.
Tried re-entering the password; no change.
Is this Apple's idea of forcing snow leopard folks to upgrade?
I need reliable e-mail.

Fixed. From my backup, I reinstalled mail, mail preferences, and the entire mail folder in users/mail.
Whatever the "security" update did to my mail, it's now FIXED.
I had no desire to roll back the entire update.
If future updates screw up mail again, I'll always have working backups to restore.
