Serious flaw in updater for windows on iPod Photo (plug icon)

When I ran the new updater (on windows) it says very briefly that I have to plug the ipod into the power to complete the firmware. I didn't see this message the first time so I thought I had to reset my iPod.
Result: it won't start or reset anymore !!
I had to send my iPod to repair and the erased the iPod and returned it to me. With the return I got a instruction, which explains about how to run the updater on windows, but nothing on plugging it in the wall to update !!
So if I had missed the brief message of the updater I could have the same problem. This time I kept it connected for a couple of minutes and the iPod resetted and now I'm back to business.
I think apple should fix this serious flaw in the updater and in the documentation !!!!

It is a mailing in dutch and on paper (N073-0789 Rev. E).
It says:
<quote>
Step 4: Connect your iPod. After a few second the button "recover"will be active. Click on "recover". iPod Updater formats your iPod for Windows XP or 2000.
Step 5: Close iPod Updater after the recoverprocess is done.
</quote>
Between 4 and 5 it should say something about the flashing with the power plug I think.
More important, I think the updater should keep the message in display while the iPod is still connected !
This saves a lot of useless repairs I think (and really missing your iPod for a week )!

  • Update for Windows Vista (KB936824) Won't Work

    My computer keeps telling me to download the Update for Windows Vista (KB936824), but when I run it:
    *The update does not apply to you system*
    And my iPod is failing so I really need this. What's the problem?

    As I said in your other post, go to www.microsoft.com or contact your computer manufacturer for help. This is a Windows problem, not an iPod problem.

    Okay. Rather than using Apple Software Update, let's try updating your iTunes using an installer downloaded from the following location:
    Latest iTunes Installer
    Does the install using the iTunesSetup.exe from there go through any better? If not, what error message do you get from that?

    why there is no safari update for windows newer than 5.1.7(2012) release?
    I am really wondering why there is no safari update for 2013 and 2014!?

    Why?  Because worms are flying and we all smell of elderberries.
    Seriously... Nobody here knows why.  We don't work for Apple therefore we would have no clue as to the official reason why Apple stopped developing / supporting it.

    Remember, while we are releasing Lumia Cyan for a large number of phones, there still may be some of you that are not offered the Cyan update, yet. However, as explained in the blog, we’ll continue to add more Lumia devices every couple of days over the coming weeks until we bring everyone up to the latest.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • ITunes Update for Windows Vista 64 bit

    Does anybody know when this is going to be released. I got an iPhone and can't sync it with the latest version of Windows Vista. The friendly staff at AT&T forgot to tell me that I would not be able to use my iPhone until iTunes came out with an update for Windows Vista.
    Thank You.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

  • Print Management Console displays no printers after applying Windows Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB2995388)

    After installing optional Windows Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB2995388) on a print server upgraded from Windows 2012 to Windows 2012 R2, the Print Management Console wouldn't display locally shared or remotely shared printers. Another print server
    could see the printers on this server, but it couldn't see it's own. Removal of the patch resolved the issue.

    Hi,
    à
    Removal of the patch resolved the issue.
    Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
    On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more?
    Please check if this update rollup package (KB2995388) install successfully.
    Please run sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files after installed this update.
    If be possible, please re-install Print Server feature on the server after installed this update. Any find?
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Enable Microsoft Update (not just Windows Update) for Windows 2008 R2

    I am running Windows 2008 R2 in my Citrix XenApp 6.5 farm.
    Office 2013 is installed.
    I can't update Office via Windows Update. Why? Take a look at this ridiculous roundabout tautology it takes me through.
    Here I am in the Windows Update panel:
    If I click "Find out more" to get updates for other Microsoft Updates it takes me here:
    Yeah, duh, I was just in there when I clicked the link to get to this site. What's the deal?
    How does one enable all Microsoft Updates for a Windows 2008 server. I can do this in 2003 easily by going to the Microsoft Update website. 2008 however, this appears to be impossible and apparently no one else in the world has noticed this.

    these discussions should help:

  • Update for Windows 7 (32-bit) (KB2952664) FAILED

    Error Code: 80242016
    During my Windows update I received the above error message while attempting the Update for Windows 7 (KB2952664). 
    I ran the Fixit program that was offered to me in the Help. I was not really able to identify what the exact cause of the problem is in the help however. It is not installing the update when I rerun Windows Update. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks toondog, I went to:
    Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updates
    in Windows 7 x64, found the failed update in the "Microsoft Windows" category (it's easier to find if you order updates by descending date) then right-click and Uninstall. It appeared to uninstall because the entry disappeared, however when I refreshed
    it the entry came back. Then I went to Windows Update and it found the update and I reinstalled and this time it was successful.
    It's even easier to find if you enter KB2952664 in the "Search Installed Updates" box in the upper right corner of the Installed Updates window.
    This is the only way that worked for me, although I had to do a Restart after uninstalling the update before Windows Update would let me try it again.
    Toondog85's way—going through Windows Update instead of Programs and Features—didn't give me the option of uninstalling the update, but it was still basically the right solution to the problem.

    By the time you read this, a new Definition Update is already available, and this issue should no longer be relevant. However, the simple fix is this: DECLINE the annoying update and wait for the next Definition Update to be published.
