PLEASE HELP ME! My iPod will suddenly not update, I've tried everything!

Here is a little background info.
I am using a 20GB touch wheel Ipod bought about 1 1/2 years ago. It was the last model of Ipod made before the color screens came out. I have used it forever and have never had a single problem until now (ever since I downloaded iTunes 7). Here is the problem: Each time I connect it to the PC I get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "STANDARDUPRISE" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." Itunes DOES recognize the ipod and so does Windows explorer, although I am also unable to save files as a hard drive (I get the same error message from Windows). I have tried everything I know to do...I did a soft reset, restored to factory settings, checked the drive for errors using chkdsk utility, erased the entire drive (it is now music/file free except for iPod software), and I have even screamed at it. But nothing has seemed to fix this issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Im up for any suggestions! Thanks so much for the help
Chris

I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

Please help... Song count not updating on Nano

Hello. No matter how many songs I add to my Nano the song count on the front or main menu of my Nano never updates. My first time syncing I added 329 songs, now I have over 1000 on my Nano but it continues to say 329 at the main menu.
Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Steve

No idea, but perhaps it is as simple as performing a Restore on the iPod and seeing if that gets everything back the way it should be working.
Note: Restoring erased the iPod and restores it to factory defaults, so only do this if everything on the iPod is safely backed up elsewhere, hopefully in your iTunes library.

My ipod is not responding and i tried everything

Please help me! iPod Touch 2 gen stuck in recovery mode!!

I need help please! Yesterday, I installed the newest version of iTunes on a new PC with Windows XP, and when I connected my 2nd Gen 8GB iPod it prompted me for the new OS4 update to the iPod. I went ahead and said "yes" and walked away. At some point there was some kind of error and my iPod went into recovery mode. iTunes prompted me to restore. I have tried restoring multiple times always with the process reaching the very end where it's "verifying restore" and I get error message: An unknown error has occured (9). Error 9 helps me in no way. I feel I've tried everything and I can't get this thing out of recovery mode! Please help, I'm just sick over this. I haven't even had my iPod a year and I have loved it. Until yesterday.

HT4759 Please help me. My Apple id not be used in iCloud. After sign in, to iCloud, I have error massage: This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

Please help me. My Apple id not be used in iCloud. After sign in, to iCloud, I have error massage: This Apple ID cannot be used to sign in to iCloud. Create a new Apple ID or sign in with a different one.

For whatever reasons, the "None" option is not always available to all users and I think it may be related to what country you live in. Short of contacting Apple to get it straightened out, if you haven't done anything with your new ID ye - you can create an Apple ID without a credit card and simply abandon the one that you just created.
This explains how you can creaet an ID without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
The two big things that you have to remember for this to work are ... you have to sign out of your existing Apple ID .... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Then you have to try to download a free app to bring up the window that asks you to sign in or create an ID. Read the information on the website that I referenced above.
If you have not used the original Apple ID for anything yet, you can simply ignore it and use the new one - or like I said earlier - contact iTunes support and ask them to help you sort it out.
Here is a link to iTunes support. You can change the country in the bottom right corner of the screen.
