Problems updating iPod mini software

I have OS 10.3.9 but recieve and error message saying You cannot update this volume. You need 10.2.8 or later.

I have a similar problem.
When connecting my iPod video, iTunes says it needs a software update. But whenever I proceed, My iTunes gets a 'server error'. (...The iPod software update server could not be contacted....")
Is there a way to download just the update in zip file outside iTunes? In a FTP server perhaps?
It's been a day passed and I still can't update my iPod software.

  • Unable to update Ipod mini / Computer not responding to Ipod

    I recently switched computers and I installed the iPod mini software onto my new computer. This worked at first but when I started moving music from iTunes onto my iPod from my new computer, the downloads would stop even though the music had not been fully downloaded. When I checked my iPod, the new music was not there. I downloaded the new iTunes and the new updater. I then tried to update my iPod software but it said "Firmware failure" and then my iPod mini started showing me the exclamation mark folder every time I turned it on. I tried to restore the iPod using my new computer but everytime I tried to do that, it showed "Firmware failure." Next, I plugged my iPod mini into my old computer and used an old update program to restore the iPod and it worked. When I plugged the iPod back into my new computer, the computer would take a long time to recognize the player but iTunes wouldn'recognize it at all. When I try to update the ipod mini software, it shows initializing for a long time before the program crashes.
    What should I do to get this ipod working again?

    ok try this ...... this is the totally resetting things to do !!!!! first holthe center and the menu down when the apple comes then hold the center and the play down...... then it should be totally reset.... then install the new ipod updater and itunes 4.9 and then try if it works ...........

  • I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, got error 1602

    I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, i walked away from computer and when i came back there was an error "1602" and a picture on my ipod (requesting to connect to itunes?) but WILL NOT WORK AT ALL!
    What's going on?  Seems like a lot of people are having similar problems all at the same time.

    From the article cited at the end of my post:
    Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • Does anybody know where i can download the IPOD MINI SOFTWARE

    i recently bought an ipod mini off my friend but he gave me no cd with the ipod mini software. i dont need the itunes software i have that but i dont know where i can download the ipod mini software, any help will be amazing helpful and welcome, thanks

    Yes it could be. You should perhaps restore it using the updater from the link I gave you.
    Install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then choose restore.
    This will return the iPod to factory settings, erase the hard drive, reload the software and ensure the iPod is Windows formatted.
    Then you should be good to go.

  • Ipod mini software update!

    Is there a way to uninstall the recent software update of the ipod mini as i am having problems with adding songs to ipod that i was not having before the update. re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick!

    "re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick! "
    You can't reset the iPod via the updater, you can only restore or update the software.
    In order to revert to an older version of the software, you would have to find an older updater (on your computer or the installation disk perhaps?) and use that.

  • 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.

  • Ipod mini software update issues

    I am trying to restore the factory settings on my ipod mini but am running into issues when I go to do the installation and am getting a prompt that says that the volume must run on Mac OS 10.2.8 (or Mac OS 10.3.8) or higher. Do I have to do the restoration via computer running on this version of the Mac OS... how can I get around this?

  • Problems with iPod mini in iTunes 7

    I recently installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 on my PC and have been having problems with my iPod mini (Windows format, software version 2.6.1). Initialy I could not see the iPod in iTunes but I followed the advice in a support article to change the Startup Type under Terminal Services Properties to "manual" which seemed to work.
    However now new music that I have purchased will not transfer because it says that my iPod software is too old; but the Update button on the Summary tab in my iPod Preferences is greyed out - help?!

  • Problem installing ipod mini hardware error msg

    Installed software ok but when I connect ipod mini to USB 2.0 I get "Found new hardware wizard. There was a problem installing this hardware: apple ipod usb device. An error occurred during the installation of the device. One of the filter drivers installed for this device is invalid." If I click finish I get a pop up at bottom saying" A problem occurred during installation. Your new hardware might not work properly." Click out of that and my ipod and itunes works ok. How do I correct this nusance? Tried reloading 3 times now, same results. Brand new to ipod.

    hey, i finally figured out how to do it! i had the same frustrating problem as you until just a moment ago : ) This is what you need to do:
    1) Reset your iPod Mini by holding down on the Menu and the Select button until the Apple appears.
    2) Plug it into your computer, windows and mac should be the same for that
    3) Go into the iPod Updater and update the software : ) should work... if you need anything else, just ask or go to the following:

  • Cannot load ipod mini software and use i pod

    HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

    It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
    I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 - How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
    you should try that first.  If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
    One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive.  Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is."  When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful.  Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
    You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings.  Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
    Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen.  If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363 - iPod devices with a Click Wheel
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes.  Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.

  • Can't update IPOD mini

    Hey, does anyone know how to solve this problem? Usually when u plug in the ipod mini, it will show "do not disconnect' icon on the ipod mini. But now it does not do that. It just charge my ipod mini. My main question is why can't the ITUNE read the ipod mini that i connected to the pc. I can't update a single song to the ipod mini at all. Please help me.
    Thanks~!!

    First, try resetting the iPod with it connected. Try several times if it doesn't work the first.

  • Problem updating iPod 2.3 with dock connector

    Please help me! I downloaded the info to update my iPod, but when I click the update button, it says "the updater does not have a firmware image." What does this mean? What can I do to fix the problem so I can update my iPod software instead of restoring the factory settings?

    I have similar problem and have tried "Update". Message come up that some music files will not be updated. Unfortunately the only files it will not update to iPod are the files downloaded and paid for from Apple music store. I wonder if it is an iTunes 6 issue with older gen iPods? I have updated iPod software v 2005-10-12

  • IPod Mini Software broke my computer??

    I received a 16GB Ipod mini for X-mas. Because I am afraid of all thing electronic, I haven't tried to use it until tonight. I put the CD in the drive and downloaded all the software and formated the iPod itself (yeah me!). Got all the way through the installation process and was prompted to reboot. I did...
    Now I get this blue screen (not the blue screen of death; I'm painfully familiar with that one!) that tells me all sorts of error codes. I try to reboot in safemode and even that takes me back to this blue screen.
    I can't even wipe out the hard drive and start over as Dell didn't see fit to send me a copy of the OS disc!
    My question is, can anyone help me fix this problem? I practically live on my computer (using my fiance's BTW) and I'm going crazy quickly.
    Any help is appreciated. TY ahead of time!!

    I received a 16GB Ipod mini for X-mas.
    Well, we need to clear up what iPod you actually have because there's no such thing as a 16GB iPod mini. Look here to see what your iPod model is.
