Please Help Me Install the Ipod Software...I get errors ;o(

Hello,
I already downloaded the Updater (2005-10-12) and Itunes from this website. I had a USB problem before when I was going through the Ipod setup. But that problem is solved now. When I get asked to connect the Ipod, I connect it using the cable that's provided. It says "Your ipod is now connected". It now asks me if I want to format my ipod and i say yes of course...However, I get a new message that says "error communicating with your ipod" (or something like that).."please disconnect and connect again" which I did...more than a couple of times. I reset my Ipod already and started all over again but nothing happens....
What should I do? Can someone please help me? pls? ...
I have the 20GB ipod (new) and I'm running Windows XP.
Thanks!

hello again...
I got through the ipod set up process...i'm now trying to install itunes and it gives me the 1607 error...i'm now trying to follow the instructions (from one of the threads here) to fix this error and it says:
Fix
To fix this issue, you need to determine the version number of the IsScript engine you need, download it, and install it.
1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver from the machine.
2. Right-click on the installation file that you are trying to install and select Properties.
* The typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc.
* Your installation file can be found on the CD where you are running the setup from.
step number 2 is unclear to me. when i go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver, the folder "driver" has only three folders "7", "8" and "11"...which one should I go to then?

  • Can not install the Ipod software on Windows XP SP2

    Hello, I can not install the 'Ipod logiciel' [Ipod software?] for my Ipod Nano on my PC with Windows XP SP2. I don't have any error messages but the installation gets stopped just before its end. I mean, the Install Shield Program disappears while the steps "Publication of the product information" Does somebody know what's happening or where the problem might comes from? I would really appreciate your help. Merci d'avance,

    I have the same problem. The old version 4.7 works fine on XP but upgrading to version 6.0 or above gives me an error message that says ( The iTunes music library .itl file is locked on a local disk or you do not have permission for this file.) I bought my wife a Nano and the XP machine won't see the Nano,but if I plug the Nano into my Laptop with Win 2000 with the same 4.7 version of iTunes it will work just fine. The only problem is that all the music files are on the desk top machine. I can load the nano but I have to do it in a round about way. I tried updating iTunes about 6 different times with the same results.You must remove Itunes through ad/remove hardware in windows, restart win. then reinstall the older version. I tried the repair rout several times but that did no good.Good luck and I hope Apple can help us out with these problems!

  • Possible fix for "problem downloading the IPOD software.." error

    I have a click wheel IPOD and after dropping it was forced to restore to factory setting. When attempting to restore, Itunes nor my computer recognized my IPOD and when it finally did I got the message
    "These was a problem downloading the Ipod software for the Ipod "Ipod." The requested resource was not found."
    I did the 5 steps repeatedly over 2 days with no luck then today I combined advice from a bunch of postings and it worked!
    Here's what worked:
    1)Bought a new USB 2.0 connect cable.
    2)Deleted the folder containing the firmware files: see
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309
    3)Delete Ipod updater
    4)Restarted computer
    5)Download updated Itunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/
    When I ran the exe file it asked if I wanted to "repair" or "reinstall" I choose "repair".
    5)Reset ipod
    6)Opened itunes, connected ipod, it took about 10 minutes for itunes to sync with the ipod.
    7)Choose restore.
    After that it went as normal.

  • Windows 200 PC with SP4 won't boot after install of iPod software from CD.

    I installed the iPod software from the CD of my new iPod mini. It requested that I reboot the PC, which I did but it never rebooted. It hung and would not even boot in safe mode. After many attempts I booted to the boot console and when throught the install repair process. The PC will still not boot.
    Is there any way to bring up the PC without having to rebuild it?
    Has anyone found a way to get the PC back to it's original state, without a disk re-format?
    Does Apple have a solution?
    Any comments from Apple Support or their QA team would be of interest

    Last know good does not work. I don't receive any error messages. I did the repair but PC still will not boot. The starting windows bar goes about three quarter of the way to the right and then it just stops. It does this regardless fo which boot mode I choose (ie. safe mode).
    I do not have the iPod plugged in during this process.
    Is there anything else I can do or that we can try from the console command mode?

  • I can't install the new software 8.2 wireless from the phone only when I connect to my laptop

    need help to install the new software 8.2 wireless from my phone

    Howdy Punya,
    It sounds like you are unable to get your phone updated by downloading it directly to the device, and it only works when you connect it to iTunes. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article with different troubleshooting depending on the issue that it is having:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If that does not resolve, or doesn't address the issue, can you elaborate on what is happening when you try?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Tried to restore my ipod touch 4th gen but it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" Please help!

    Ok so I reset my ipod touch 4th gen and it got stuck on the apple logo screen and holding down the buttons just made it turn off for a few seconds and go straight back onto the logo screen, nothing was happening with it connecting to itunes either. But I held the home and the power button down at the same time while connected to my laptop and then when the logo reappeard I released the power button and it came up with with the itunes logo and the usb logo. It then allowed me to select restore on itunes which I did but a box popped up saying "The ipod software update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Please help.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message:  The software for this iPod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software.  Any ideas?

    Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
