Shud iPOD Updator 2005-11-17 be download to iPOD neccessarily?

Hi All:
I have the iPOD Updator 2005-10-12 version on iPOD 30GB White Video. This is the default update, as I bought the iPOD very recently.
Should the iPOD be updated with the latest Updater software neccessarily or only if there is a bug or something doesnt work correctly in my iPOD should I update with new version of software?
Please update.
Thanks.
Anukul

The latest ipod s/w is meant for the shuffle. It has nothing new for the video so I would not bother updating.
To answer your question .. its never necessary to update the software as long as you are happy the way it works or there is some new feature on the update that you like

IPod Updater 2005-09-23

My updater will not recognize my 30 g iPod now. I updated iTunes to the 5.0.1 version and it recognizes my iPod fine now, however said that it could not download some some songs because the software on my iPod needed to be updated. I installed the updated iPod Updater and now IT says that my iPod is not supported. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
Any help is most appreciated.

I just downloaded the new iPod Updater 2005-09-23, trying to run the installation package, I get stuck on the "select a destination volume to install the software window"
Can't install it on my iPod (where it is mend to go I believe??????, it is after all an iPod updater?????). And the reason it gives is that i need Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher. But I run 10.3.9, which, by my calculations, is higher.
And when I choose to install on my HD, neither of the 2 options (System UI Server or iPod Updater 2005-09-23) highlight the install button.
So I am stuck.
When I open ITunes, it constantly tells me to install the software, otherwise I won't be able to copy songs I bought on iTunes to my Ipod.
On top of that, the software that is on my Ipod at the moment, is version 2.2, which, apperently is up to date. (?)
Please help!!!!!!!!!!

IPod Mini failed with iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4.9

Has anyone experienced iPod mini first generation failing completely (running low on batteries) after installing the iPod Updater 2005-06-26 & iTunes 4.9?
My iPod mini showed "Low battery sign please recharge" after being fully charged shortly after I installed the latest updater and iTunes 4.9. My iPod mini would show low battery status after playing 5 minutes or less. After several attempts to reinstall the latest update and iTunes software, I resolved the issue by reverting back to the original iPod Updater 2004-04-28 and iTunes 4.5. Now my iPod functions as before with the expected battery life.

Yeah, I didn't download it for that reason. I like my itunes the way they are. My iPod didn't work with the other one. So, I restored it. I don't plan to change my iTunes until i know for sure the new one is fool proof.

Do you have a link for the d/load: iPod Updater 2005-11-17.

I have found the download on the apple website but the link doesn't work.
Any Suggestions?

It should be on the CD that came with your ipod. If you're using Windows (don't know about macs), the updater installer keeps the previous versions which should be in your Start button.
The original updater that came with most ipods may have an earlier date, but it's the same 1.0. Each updater services multiple ipod models, so just because the updater date changes, it doesn't necessarily mean that anything changed for your particular ipod. There's only been one update for the ipod 5G which is 1.1. Any version you have before that one will be the same.
Check out your CD.

IPOD Updater 2005-11-17 Error

Brand new Nano. Downloaded iTunes. Downloaded the ipod updater. iTunes says 'software to communicate with ipod isn't working. Reinstall iTunes'. did that (twice). Updater yields 'ipod service error.' Called tech support. Turned off firewalls. Did it all again. Still doesn't work. Anybody else figured this out?

hi SterlingDaddio!

When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update. How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?

OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1. Here is a link to purchase the update.

ITunes and iPod updated software is impossible to download

I download stuff all the time, but I have not been able to download any recent itunes or ipod updated software since december 2005.
Of course, Apple provides no easy contact info just this useless message board.
There is nothing wrong with my cable modem. There is something wrong with the apple servers. overloaded or something.
Count me as fed up 2.
toshiba laptop pentium 4 Windows XP

If you go to apple.com, you'll find a Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. I have a copy of iTunes for Windows downloading now for a friend who has a slower connection than mine so the server seems to be fine.

Help... ipod updater 2005-09-23

I need help. I'm currently updating my ipod mini (actually since 1am this morning) and it's still updating. How long does this take? Secondly I can no longer see my ipod mini in itunes. It's all grayed out. The ipod mini is displaying do not disconnect, while the updater 2005-09-23 states that 1.4 is up to date. Can anyone help

I've downloaded the iPod Updater using the Software Updater and by manually downloading it from the Apple website -- Each time I've tried to run it, I get the message that "The updater does not have a firmware image" and will not update my 3rd Gen iPod. I cannot update the iPod until I can get it updated. Any help/suggestions? I've tried deleting the updater and reinstalling it but I get the same thing.

Error with updating via ipod updater 2005-10-12

I have just got a new ipod 4th generation 20gig. The first thing i did was charge it up it went fine. It was working okay and i could get into the main ipod settings such as the language settings the music playlist etc.
I instaled itunes first, then i installed the ipod update FROM http://www.apple.com/ipod/download and opened it up. WHen i did open it up i got this message.
http://img39.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitled13bu.jpg
There is no way that i can update because the button isn't highlighted, and therefore i tried restoring it. I did then i got an error saying something about the firmwire or something is corrupt. I can't remember the exactl phrase. So when i tried to turn on the ipod i got a little folder icon with a yellow exclamation mark sign.
Since then i can't get into the music playlist and i can't restart the ipod.
And ideas, cos i am really annoyed.

I have fixed the problem.
I must have done this about a hundred times but on the 100th time it worked.
I did a windows quick format, then instantly did a ipod restore using the ipod updater. And it worked. Useually it would just mess up at the ipod restore part. Anyway, i had to plug it into a mains to flash it, not its back to normal.
Weird how i tried so many times and it didn't work the first time.

**RAN IPOD UPDATER 2005-11-17 WON'T RECOGNIZE MY IPOD**

I ran the latest updater on my fully charged monochrome screen IPOD 4?th generation and after it finished wiping my IPOD The IPOD is not recognized by the updater or the Systems software 2.0.1 install program. In the Windows task manager the IPODSERVICE.EXE does appear on the process list. All it does is flash the little icon asking you to plug an adapter into the wall. I have always used the usb cable to recharge. I have tried all the solutions on Apple's web site I have plugged it into all 4 of my USB ports with no luck. Do you think buying the firewire wall charger would do any good. It was fully charged before I ran the updater but now when I run the updater the splash window keeps asking me to plug in the IPOD. Any help anyone can be would be greatly appreciated. I have looked all over the web and am at the end of my rope.

IPod Updater 2005-10-12 released - WHY???

Why does Apple release an iPod Updater when a new iPod comes out? Isn't the iPod already up to date when it is released? I assume this is for the Mac side of things?

If you format your 5G i pod...
you would be able to revert to factory default load.
I have a 1G Ipod it will only hold one audible.com account license at a time. When I switch accounts I have to format Ipod then use ipod updater to revert.
