Problem Downloadind Ipod/phone 2.0 Update
Hey fellas,
My first post here as a last resort. For ages I have been having problems downloading purchasing my music and updates. Apple support have been useless im afraid.
I always get the same error: 37.
Whilst trying to download the new iphone 2.0 update which i paid for I get this error.
"There was a problem installing 'update'. Filename invalid or too long "
I have tried everything ?
Dont know what to do now. Any Help ?
Munji,
What is the error you see when you try to purchase tracks from the iTunes Store?
Can you download FREE ON iTunes content? Go to iTunes> iTunes Store> FREE ON iTunes, near the bottom center of the page.
What security software is running on your PC? Try to update, reconfigure, or uninstall the security software.
You can bypass some security software by putting the PC in a selective startup as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305415
Do you have download manager software on your PC?

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

Anyone having same problem? I phone 4 after updating to Vers.5.1.1. battery cannot be 100% full charge, always stop at 99% and battery drains off fast too
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
Download problem with iPod Touch January software update
Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
- Ipod Touch user from australia
- went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
- The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
- Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
- Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
- The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance!Hi pdra05,
Do you manually manage your music?
iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

Problem with iPod Video (30gb) since update
Hi all.
I, today have had a slight problem with the iPod updater on my iPod Video. I have installed the newest version of itunes (6.0.2 I think), which prompted me to install the newest iPod updater with it, I downloaded that and installed it. After installing I ran the updater, it began to finish the installation and my computer froze (I'm using a new hard drive in my computer and found out thats the problem). My iPod, now, when I turn it on has a blank white screen, I've tried the resetting method (toggle hold, then hold menu and select 6 - 10 seconds) and the light goes away, the ipod beeps 3 times and the white screen comes back. Can anybody please help me? I have tried running the installer again and it just freezes, and when the iPod is plugged into the pc itunes doesn't start, how I had it configured.
Please help!!
Apreciated - Sam.
* I have also browsed the whole website thoroughly and found nothing. I have also tried google, and found nothing relating to my problem *I am leaving soon on a trip and would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?
If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point. -
i have a big problem why is it i cant update my ipod touch 2g into ios 4! im using the latest version of itunes and everytime i click "update" it stucks on the "contacting server" please help i want to update it now

i have an activation problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to io6 using itunes but now the phone will not complete activation because it keeps saydin the activation server is not available and to re try later. ive been trying for 6 hours but it still wont activate. if i try using itunes then it sayd no sim inserted when there is one inserted, what can i do?
You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
Sync problem: "The iPod cannot be updated. The required file is locked."
Hi,
I upgraded to iTunes 7.0. First thing I did with it was to upgrade the firmware of the iPod to 1.2.1. The model is a MA079NF (20GB, iPod Photo, color screen), have used it problem free for about year now.
After that I wanted to sync my Library and a popup showed "The iPod "mypod" cannot be updated. The required file is locked." After clicking ok (only option) the syncing continues, but in the end the iPod contains 2174 files (~10GB out of 20GB free space), while my library holds 2187 checked files. Also none of my photos are copied to the iPod.
After that, upgrading iTunes to 7.0.1.8 did not help either. The problem is the same. Resetting the iPod to factory defaults and subsequent re-syncing did not help either, only helped me waste an hour .
The error message is silly, it leaves me only with questions:
Which file is locked, where is it locked (on my PC or on the iPod), in what way is it locked, why is it locked, by whom is it locked and how do I unlock it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Henk.
Dell Dimension 5150c Windows XPHi,
After the exceptional help of the Apple people (i.e. nothing, nada, zero, null, no reaction, silence and so on, and so forth) I decided to take matters in my own hands again. Using the superb FileMon tool of sysinternals.com I found out the syncing of my iPod stopped while traversing my photo cache.
The solution was simple: Remove the directory "\iPod Photo Cache" completely (I made a backup, of course).
After that, iTunes built the cache from scratch and syncing was working properly again.
<sarcasm> Apple, thanks again for all your support. </sarcasm>
Best wishes nonetheless,
Henk van der Laak -
I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.
That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID. -

Problem Ejecting iPod Photo since updating software
Can anyone help with my problem ?
Just updated iTunes to 5.0.0.35. All seemed ok until I needed to update software on iPod (colour screen, 60gb) to 1.2 so I can use the camera connector I bought when I go on holiday.
Now I'm having serious problems. I've had the pod for a few months and it's been great until now.
I've been adding album art to iTunes albums. Now the pod with it's new software connects to itunes much slower and I seem to have lost songs from the pod. "Do Not Disconnect" message is continuously on pods screen. It won't disconnect from tunes and when I try to disconnect from PC using the safely remove hardware tactic, I get a box saying "The Device 'Apple iPod USB Device' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later."
I've tried everything, from safely removing it to right clicking to eject. The iPod is still stuck on the DO NOT DISCONNECT screen. The only way was to disconnect it then restart the pod using menu/select buttons together. But when I connect it again to the PC, the same thing has happened. Again, I've tried all sorts, from rebooting the PC to changing some options in iTunes.
This all seems to be since I updated the software this morning (Sept 30). I've also tried resoring the iPod and starting all over again, but a soon as you connect it to the PC, it seems to freeze up with that same message on the screen. iPod Updater software said it "Couldn't Mount iPod connected".
Please put me out of my misery. Boo Hoo............Cheers for that Mrsuknow,
Unfortunately I don't have an 'automatically disconnect' check box under my ipod tab, or anywhere else in preferences for that matter.
And the pod never finishes updating. It tries for a few minutes, then a message appears saying, Ipod couldn't be updated, file(s) not found. A load of exclamation marks appear next to certain songs in the iPod library. When I try to play any of them on the pod, they show as being there but won't play. They're still there on iTunes.
And I've tried restoring factory settings again on the pod, but updater says it can't mount the iPod again.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios7 on Sunday and have been having m?ajor problems with my phone since. It keeps freezing and I have to constantly press the home and on/off switch to get it to restart. I had updated my itunes and backed up the phone before doing the update. I'm getting very frustrated at this stage as the phone is practically useless. Is it worth doing a restore? Bearing in mind that I just tried to do that and got a message to turn off the 'find phone' feature in settings and when I tried to get into settings the phone froze again.
I don't have a good answer for you but reading these forums, it seems that network drives can often cause problems with iTunes like you describe.

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error and the phone switches off. Please help.
Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.
