Problem updating my ipod...

When iTunes tries to update the iPod, it gets through about 2 songs and this message pops up: "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Mom's iPod' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
Someone help! :o)

See if this troubleshooting article helps: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

Problem Updating Your iPod Software

I am running Windows Itunes 6.0 and Nano version 1.0
I keep getting messages when I open Itunes saying I need to update my software and I follow all the prompts, extract files etc and then it tells me to restart my computer. I do that and nothing has changed. I am still working with the same software and it tells me I need to update.
the Tutorial references a Updating Your iPod Software
that never pops up for me.
Any suggestion?
Ipod Nano version 1.0
HP Windows XP

Best and simple way is to uninstall your current iTunes and iPod Updater and download the last below

ITunes Problem updating 5G iPod

My iPod is fine at the moment and the problem is coming from iTunes. And To helps you even more i can be very very specific as to why it's not working as well! I get an error message every time i open iTunes saying "The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\CFGMGR32.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." I have followed the usual course of action and so far no results. I was wondering if deleteing this file manually might help, but i dont want to risk it without a secong opinion! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks jamie.

After i made this post i went on some serious web searching to find out more about the .dll file causing the problems. I found out it wasnt in fact an itunes file and a windows file. after posting on the windows XP forum i was informed to insert my XP disk and open a command promt. type in sfc/scannow. this opens a program that checks your protected files and if any are corrupt, as this was, it finds the origional from the cd and replaces it. If anyone else has this problem i hope this helps you!

Problem Updating my iPod with iTunes

I recently bought a 2GB iPod nano and want to update it. The software I have on my iPod nano is 1.1.1. The website says that the current is 1.2. iTunes says that my iPod nano is up to date but my iPod nano says different. Could somebody please help me! Thanks!

If you have the latest version of iTunes click your ipod and click your opod and click summary and under verion you should be able to click Update IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF iTUNES! if not, under start and programs (windows users) go to ipod and ipod up dater and hopefully the date says 2006-6-28 or later. if not back up songs and reformat i guess, or reset (hold menue and middle button) hope this helps

Im having problems updating my ipod to ios 5

I have an ipod touch 4th gen with iOS 4.3.3 and I cant update to iOS 5 (or whatever iOS i would be updating to). I know I cant update wirelessly with iOS 4.3.3 so i have to use a computer, but whenever I try to sync my ipod to the computer it won't show up like it used to. Do I need to update to the newest version of iTunes? Could you please tell me what to do to update it. Also I would like to know if updating shortens the capacity (I bought an 8GB ipod but when I turned it on it says it is a 6.5GB.) If i still cant figure it out could i just take it to an apple store and have them help?

You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer. You will go to 6.1.3
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later

I have a ipod touch 2nd generation and in itunes it says its software is updated to iOS 4.2.1. But when i try to download apps it says i need iOS 4.3. but it says its up to date what should i do?

Those applications can't be used on a second generation iPod touch. You need to get a newer device or give up.

Problem Updating iPod software on iTunes

I am having problems updating my iPod software through iTunes. As soon as it gets to the end of the download, an error message comes up (-48, I think) that states there was an error in downloading the update. It suggests to check my internet connection or try again later. It happens everytime. I have a very stable internet connection and my iTunes software is version 7.1.1.5
Please help me! Thank you.

See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore via iTunes
Next try DFU mode

Cannot update 5G iPod setting after 1.2 update...

Has anyone else run into this problem. I updated to iTunes 7 today along with the 1.2 update for my 5G iPod. I am running Mac OS X.
After the update, my video playlists were removed from the iPod. Checking the iPod setting showed that the video playlist were no longer checked to auto sync. The problem is my iPod will not stay connected long enough for me to update this option. The iPod is recognized when I connect for once iTunes realizes the songs are up to date, the iPod disconnects. If I check to sync the video playlist and apply, an error message will appear saying that the iPod could not be found.
Any ideas or anyone else have this?

Ok well, i'm having a problem updating my ipod. Are you saying i should not even attempt to update and be glad for the block? I keep getting error messages.
But i totally agree with you. I'm frustrated. I can't add songs to my ipod and itunes won't even recognize the ipod. I've tried reverting to v6 and tried restoring as well. Always ending up with ERROR. Apple should have tested every version on every OS system. How long could that take??? 2 weeks with as many ppl working as they do. If i asked alll the ppl who had trouble with this new version if they could wait 2 weeks for a perfected version, what would they say?? THEY WOULD SAY FREAKING YES!
I would also agree that for close to $500CDN for an ipod... it should definitely last longer than a year. I'd say at least 3 or 4.
And if it does come to the end [ipod dying] i won't buy another. I think i will go back to the retro days of bought and burned cds on my trusty sony cd player.

When I tried to update my ipod touch, there was a problem and i don't get to restaure the softwere

I was updating my ipod touch 64gb with the new operation softwere, there was a problem, and the itunes message showed that I had to restaure. When I try to restaure the follow message appear '' The apple site is not available" I tried to use the existent procedures without sucess. What sould I do?

If the message said can not contact the update server:
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise I do not understand the problem.

Will apple next update to help fix the location following data problems will the ipod touch 2g be included ?

will apple next update to help fix the location following data problems will the ipod touch 2g be included ?

Chances are the 2g itouch will not be included in the update. Also no one yet knows if it will be fixed in the next firmware but apple has said they know of this bug.

Problem while updating my iPod to version 2.2!

Hi!
I have a first generation iPod touch 16 GB, with software version 1.1.5 it is completely legal, no jailbreaking el.
Bought me an update to version 2.2, but then I got some problems..
When I should install the new update, iTunes starts to take backup of my iPod, etc., and then it stands "Preparing iPod for re-creation" (translated from norwegian! =) )
During this time, it appears a message that new hardware is found, and then Windows can not find the right drivers for the hardware,
and in Device Manager, I get two question-marks under "Other devices" as both called "USB Device"
Later it comes an error message in iTunes; "iPod could not be recovered. There was an unknown error (1604)."
I guess that the reason for the update is craching is that I can not find drivers for these two "Other devices"
Does anyone know which drivers i need/what i need to do to update my iPod?
Not fun to pay for something that does not work =/

Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try placing the iPiod in Recovery Mode
- Let the battery fully drain, after charging fro at least an hour try the above again.
