Any news of updating ipod photo to ipod video

guys.. is there any news about updating ipod photo to ipod video in the future??? i'm so darn pis$ed after looking at the ipod video... i have an ipod photo 30 gig and i just feel that it's really unfair for other ipod with colour display users!!!!!!!!!!
anyone here would be kind enough to calm me down!!

Bryan,
posts like this are in my opinion quite inappropriate and immature. I can agree on the fact that at the time of purchase the iPod purchased was exactly to specifications, but if a day/week/month later you can get more (10 GB and video capability) for the same price would you not feel cheated in a certain way? Just imagine it happening with anything other than a technological advancement and imagine it happening to YOU.
Anyway, it would be a very nice gesture for us Apple iPod enthusiasts to be provided with a firmware upgrade if the technology of their iPods is capable of handling videos. I for example am a Windows deciple, but as with everything, having listened to the right reasons, was contemplating to convert to Apple. Let's see how they handle this issue going forward.

Impossible problem with iPod Photo

Ok, so here's the kick:
I joined this forum because I cannot find a solution to this problem whatsoever. I have an iPod Photo that has been sitting in a drawer for about 2 years. I just got a new car stereo and I wanted to fix my old iPod instead of buying a new one. Besides, all I want is the music playback. The original problem with the iPod was the hard drive. It made the usual "clicking" noise everyone has heard at least once, so my first goal was to change the hard drive. I ordered a 30GB Toshiba Drive that fits exactly for my iPod. Actually, it upgraded it's old 20GB one without occupying any additional space. While I was at it, I also ordered a new battery, since I was pretty sure 2 years ago the battery already had problems, and it couldn't have gone better with the years.
So, first package arrives: Hard Drive.
I replaced the hard drive and connected the iPod to my computer. Yay! No more noises! But, for some reason, the iPod cannot connect to my computer. Here's what happens:
I connect the iPod
iPod turns on
Apple Logo appears
Exclamation Folder or Sad iPod icon appears (normal, since I just changed the hard drive and there are no iPod Software files)
After a few mins, the "Do not disconnect" message appears, and my computer starts to connect with the iPod
Not even 30 seconds later, the iPod completly restarts. The screens flashes off like it ran out of battery.
So, I though, maybe it was the battery. So, 2nd package arrives: Battery.
I changed the battery and I'm still having the same problem. Here are some steps I've taken:
1. Put iPod in Disk Mode and connect: Computer doesn't recognizes it, iPod restarts after 45 secs approx
2. Charge iPod: iPod wont charge in any outlet. It will just try to start and, since it will fail due to the lack of software, it will just turn off. I tried putting the iPod in Disk Mode and then charging it, and it did work. I left it charging for about 30 mins and retried connecting it, and I had the same problem/results
3. Put old Hard Drive back: just for the heck of it
I sincerely have NO IDEA of what to do, and I haven't been able to find any help on Google nor any other forum.
Does someone, ANYONE, has a suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

I, too, have this exact same problem after trying to use my daughter's IPod Photo 30GB that she abandoned about 2yrs ago. I've replaced the battery but this does not make any difference. I managed to get it into Disk Mode but when I try to restore it on the pc, it cannot see it. I also tried someone's suggestion of using a Mac but it made no difference.
Someone also suggested rebooting the hard drive using the reset button inside. However, have opened the IPod up and can't see a reset button anywhere on the hard drive. Have seen photos of hard drives in other IPods and it is really easy to find!
All I want to do is restore the IPod, there must be someone out there who can help. PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

Has anyone found a soloution to the update problem(update ipod to v1.2)

It seems alot of people are having this problem, the ipod wound update to v1.2 and an error message keeps coming up saying error code 1417 or something like that

it might be worth trying an update to itunes 7.0.2.16, and trying the 1.2 update using that. (i've seen fewer of the 1417s since that came out.) here's a link:

ITunes unable to update iPod (photo)

When I attempt to 'update ipod' itunes beings it's thing but, then reports that "the disk could not be read from or written to".
I do not belive that this is an iPod issue, more a software one.
I also noticed that whilst attempting to copy to the ipod, the .Mac sync (menu bar) icon is rotating. When I click 'Ok' on the warning dialogue box, the sync stops! also when I click on the sync icon it reports that it was last synced earlier this evening.
I have never noticed this before, but then I was never looking! Does anyone know about or encountered this before? and could this be responsible for itunes not updating my ipod??
Any help appreciated.

Can't update iPod Photo 60 GHz

I have a 60GHz iPod Photo colour display. I used it regularly until about 2 years ago when I bought an iPod touch and didn't need it as much. I've been using it occasionally and also it's been a back-up of my WHOLE music library. Well, suddenly I can't get into it. I'm running Mac OS 10.6.5 on a MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Intel with iTunes 10.1.1. The iPod shows up on my desktop as a locked hard drive. I get a message that says I don't have permission to see the contents, and I can't change the permissions from "custom." Meanwhile it doesn't show up in iTunes at all. However, when I plug it in, it DOES cause iTunes to launch. As well, TuneTech for iPod seems to recognize it just fine and seems to work with it, although I'm afraid to try formatting the drive for fear of losing all the contents. I tried to find an older version of iTunes but with no success. Besides, according to everything I've read, the current iTunes should be able to communicate with the iPod Photo just fine. So what do I do? I want to get a real back-up of my library onto my Time Capsule, then I've promised my niece my old iPod, because I gave her a Boombox with an iPod dock for Christmas, and obviously she doesn't listen to the same music I do. I have an old Quicksilver 867 in storage, but I don't want to have to keep it in my little apartment just so she can add new music to it once in awhile. What do I do? Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers.

Try to see if you can transfer your music using a program such as Pod2Mac. Then try to format your iPod using Disk Utility or try to connect it to another computer and restore its software.
Let me know, bye

Big problems with Ipod Photo

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.
Boo.....

PROBLEM UPDATING IPOD ERROR MESSAGE (69)

I CANNOT UPDATE MY IPOD USING ITUNES, IT STARTS BUT FEW MINUTES LATER YOU HEAR THE HARD DRIVE SEARCHING AND THEN TTHE MESSAGE "CAN NOT WRITE ON DISK "ipod name" A NOT RECONICE ERROR ACCURRED (69) I HAVE RESET THE IPOD, UPDATE DE ITUNES, UPDATE THE IPOD. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Try restoring it. If problems persist, then you may have a defective iPod.
Good luck.
Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate behavior to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

I had the same problem (before I bought my Mac). Apple hides the fix pretty well. It can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304468. Hope this works for you!
