The new updater broke my ipod

I've just installed the new updater for my 5G iPod. Now, when I've got the backlight set to off, I can no longer turn it on again by holding the menu key for a few seconds - it just goes to the previous menu no matter how long I hold it down. However, the backlight does work normally when on a timeout setting
Anyone else having this problem? Think I'll get hold of the bug-fix updater (the previous version!).

the reason is that its doin it is because for the
hold menu thing is that you have to be at the main
menu to turn it off.. its really only for when you
have it switched to "always on" when you have it on
like that. then it works
No, it doesn't work at the main menu either. And no, it did work from anywhere with version 1.0.
Basically, the updater broke it like I said, and there was another person who posted the same problem at the same time i did.
This is a bug caused by the updater.

  • HT1620 The new update for my iPod touch is asking for a 4 digit pass code. I don't know what this is

    The new update for my iPod touch is asking for a 4 digit pass code . I don't have one. When I updated my iPad I wasn't asked for a code.

    Sorry, everyone! I found my pass code. Thanks

  • Hi! I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT2292 I recently got a new ipod touch and the new one will not connect to itunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting and now I'm just plain frustrated.  With the new update my old ipod froze and best buy gave me a new one. What to do?

    My ipod recenly froze with the last update.  bestbuy gave me a replacement.  the new one will not connect to the computer or itunes.  i followed all the instructions and - nothing.  It's frustrating enough as i lost all my notes and work, but now I can't connect to sync with itunes.  i don't get it.  i'm not a supertech so i don't know what to do. help!!!!!!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • I downloads the new updated for my ipod touch, well it come with clouds and it make my ipod freeze and how i cant delete?

    how can i Deleted clouds from my ipod touch. it make my ipod touchs freese and reseted it self.

    iClokldis a cloud service thatcomes with iPOS 5 and you do not have to use that service.  If you better describe your problems then we should be able to solve them.  First I would try restoring the iPod from backup.  See:

  • I think the new update broke my desktop version

    Hello,
    I just finished designing a mobile version of a site but now for some reason I get horizontal scroll on my dektop version and the header and footer on my contact page does not span the width even though the header and footer are on the master page and span on every other page.
    I do not want to post a public link so if a mod could send me an email I can send you a link.
    Thanks. It Still a great new feature and I am excited to utilize it more.

    Hi iamDK,
    If the header/footer is functioning on other pages, could I have you check something for me? If you have any custom HTML on the broken page, can you delete it off the page and see if you still have the issue? If that fixes the problem, what is likely happening is your code may not be valid.
    If that doesn't seem to be the problem, or if you don't have any custom HTML, please send a link to your site to [email protected] with a link to this thread and ATTN: Andrew in the subject.
    Thanks

  • The new update "broke" my Apple TV

    Most of files are WAV files. I am experiencing an excessive lag time (more than 30 seconds) when navigating the Apple TV menus. The lag time seems much less when I select an iTunes - purchased AAC file. Anyone else having this problem?

    This is crazy. What happened? I havent used my ATV for a few weeks and needed to reconnect it to the internet. (not sure why) after which I get the apple logo then it appears to try and load the movie list briefly then right back to the apple logo. It is stuck in this endless cycle. Anyone find a solution?

  • What does the new update for the ipod do?

    I keep looking. I have an Ipod from 2003 20gb. Iv'e never updated the software so I found the updates but I cant find anywhere that states what the updates do for my Ipod Im tired of looking. Please help!

    Hi Jeff,
    I also have an old 20GB i-Pod and I too wanted to know what was in the new version, but like you I couldn't find a list of features or bug fixes or whatever.
    I was happy with the i-Pod and I believe in the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", however, I also heard that the new i-Pods have on-the-go playlists, which is a feature I would really like. So, long story short, I used the new updater, the i-Pod now runs ver1.5 but there is no on-the-go feature. I'm guessing it's not supported for my old Hardware. As a compensation, though, I swear it sounds a bit better than before - dunno if there is a new decoder algorithm in the update. Haven't really answered your question, I just want to warn you that if you want to update for a particular feature, it might not be there. Apple really should publish a feature list for all versions. Good luck Jeff.

  • I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • In the new update on itunes i can't sync my ipod touch 4th generation why can't i?

    In the new update for itunes it wont let my ipod touch 4th generation conect so i cant sync my music onto it no more what can i do?

    If you have Win 8.1 then if
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    does not work I have not seen a solution. It seems there are problems with 8,1 and the latest iTunes version

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Ever since I got the new update 5.1 my iPod's been dying faster. It used to last for at least 3 hours, now it won't even last one hour and dies for no reason(even when it's in sleep mode, and not in use) What's wrong with it? Is it the update? lagging too

    Ever since I got the new update 5.1 my iPod's been dying faster, even after I charge it. It used to last for at least 3 hours, now it won't even last one hour and dies for no reason (even when it's in sleep mode, and not in use) What's wrong with it? Is it the update? It's lagging as well..

  • IS the new update for iPod mini too?

    I just downloaded the new update and it's not working for my iPod mini--is this supposed to be just for the new iPod- nano?

    IPod Updater 2005-09-06 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2005-06-26 for all other iPod models beside the nano.
    So, there's nothing new for you in it.

    No
