Trouble with iPOD Updater's "Restore" option

Hi,
I bought a 30 GB iPod with Video on 13th Jult 2006. While checking out the "Restore" option on the iPod updater Software,I have got stuck. The iPod "Restore" is going on since last 2 Hours ! Is it correct ? I am getting "Do not Disconnect" screen since last 2 Hours !
Even the the iPod updater software is showing the following message since 2 Hours ---
"Can't Interrupt restore process. Application will be closed when the restore process is complete." And, both the "Update" & the "Restore" buttons are grayed out.
What should I do now ?

hiya!
these are the best documents to start with with that error message:
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
love, b

  • I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

    I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps.  This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related.  All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting".  I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement.  The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup.  I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on.  There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available).  Any suggestions on what to try next? 

    Hello there, Missy.
    First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • IPad Folders VANISH and Apps scattered with every update or restore

    With the introduction of folders for iOS there has been an issue since DAY ONE!  New devices (upgrades), restoring from backups, and iOS updates ALL screw up your folders.   I have spent HOURS sorting though my 400+ apps and putting them into folders (BTW the current iTunes UI does not work well when you have MANY apps...I have a feeling that all tests are done with a handful of apps and does not reflect the average user with hundreds of apps)
    With every update or restore, the Folder information is all lost and apps are scattered onto 20+ pages of apps.  Some folders remain but all but 2 apps remain in them.  Some pages are created with only 2-3 apps on them.  No mater what I do, there is no fix.  Someone on the Apple Care Senior Tech Support said it happens to her all the time and that it is "expected". 
    I know this isn't NEW to anybody because the Apple support community is LOADED with similar complaints.  I have included links below.  It is obvious that it is a BUG with iOS and needs to be addressed please.   I was told by the Apple Care support person that the only solution would be to bombard you with the complaint.  It seems like support has been bombarded all ready yet there isn't any communication going on between the two units.
    Please ADDRESS.  I will not install any more updates until the problem is fixed.

    Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

  • Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  Thanks.

    Having trouble with itunes update.  Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit.  I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
    It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Anyone having trouble with iPod 1.2 update?

    After going back from 7 to 6.05 (which I kept on another PC), I still find my iPod 5th gen. crashing occasionally when I play some podcasts. The fix has been to play a few moment from the podcast on the iPod through iTunes.
    Everyone is bashing iTunes 7.0/7.01 - might there be a problem with iPod 1.2 upgrade too?

    I don't have trouble with that.
    But this might mean nothing, because I'm on a German version of InDesign CS6 v8.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.7.5.
    What I try to do:
    Change the preferences.
    Change the workspace.
    Restart your machine.
    Restart InDesign.
    The preferences should be sticky then…

  • Trouble with Syncing+updating Ipod

    So for a while now I have tried to update to the new Ipod software. Every time I try it says it needs to Sync and back up my music and apps. But every time it seems to freeze during backing up. I've tried syncing without trying to update the software, restarting my computer and little things like that (I'm not all that tech-savy) but still no luck. I've made sure to update to the newest Itunes. I'm out of things to try, please help, its driving me crazy.
    THANKS!!!!!!!!

  • Which Ipod Updater was causing trouble with ipods??

    I read a while back that there was an ipod updater that was actually making the ipod not work can anyone tell me which updater this was?

    I updated my ipod video w/ that ipod updater that causes trouble is there a way for me to switch back to the previous update because now the ipod plays the first 2 sec. of a song and then shuffles through the rest of the songs not allowing me listen to my downloaded music. Please help w/ my concern or let me know if there is a newer updater that will work for me.

  • Problem with iPod Updater 2006-08-28

    Hi,
    It seems that there is a bug in this version of the iPod Updater. I didn't know where to post so I came here as this problem may be the related to the fact that I use it on my Nano 1Go.
    When I restored my iPod, the iPod Updater created a void SysInfo file :s
    So this was a problem to test stuff like iPodLinux.
    I had to restore it with the precious version on the CD (2006-03-23) and then make an update with the 2006-08-28 to keep the SysInfo file.
    Is it normal ?
    Could someone warn apple of this bug ?

    I was a fool. I refrained from updating because I knew better than to try to fix something that isn't broken, but I was hungover and upset about the fact that whenever the headphones cord wiggles my ipod pauses. I was convinced for the split second in between two throbbing beats in my head that perhaps the new update would give me an option of shutting that aspect of the ipod off. Woe is me.
    Now 10 gb of my music is unavailable. The ipod just skips over it. It didn't delete the files, they're all still there, I just can't play them; not on the ipod nor on the computer (not original computer for ipod). In Itunes an exclamation point shows up in the first column whenever I try to play certain songs, but there is no information about what is wrong. If I go to info on these songs there is no entry for Profile: Channel: or Encoded With:, unlike the rest of my songs that still work.
    Any hope of recovery?

  • Do you have trouble with iPod Classic and Ford's SYNC?

    Anyone have trouble with Ford SYNC recognizing iPod Classic? When I first bought my Lincoln my iPod Classic worked perfectly--just like it should with Ford SYNC. But a few months ago, when I plug in the iPod using a USB cable I get the message on Ford Sync that says, "incompatible device". At first I thought it was a ford problem so I began testing using a 2010 Buick and a 2010 Lincoln Navigator. My iPod classic doesn't work in either. However, a iPod nano works perfectly in either car. Also if I put some of my music on a flash drive it works fine in the Lincoln. So, I'm convinced that the problem is some type of update that occurred to my iPod or to iTunes.
    I have tried several iPod Classics and several USB cables so it is definitely aiPod Classic software problem. By the way, my iPod Classics work fine by themselves--just not through Ford's SYNC.
    I'm pretty lost as to possible solutions.
    Thanks,

    I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!

  • Any known problems with iPod Updater 2006-06-28?

    I was wondering if anyone's had any issues with their iPods since updating with the iPod Updater 2006-06-28.

  • Having trouble with ipod and g4 tower.

    hi all,
    my ipod is erratic in the sense that sometimes the os will mount it and other times it wont. i cant determine any set of circumstances that lead to either. the ipod always shows up in the ipod updater often with strange serial codes not that of my ipod. when i restore the ipod. it mounts, itunes recognises it. everything works great.
    when i eject it and plug it back in,im back at the start, no mount(equally often it mounts), not in itunes (ever), and a different serial no. in ipod updater.
    i had the same problem with my ipod mini before it died. so i guess its a problem with my machine. everything else works fine.
    ipod works fine with powerbook g4, imac g5 and windows
    is this a common problem, is there a fix.

    not sure what to tell you other than try posting your same question in the iPod section of the discussion forums.

  • Trouble with ipod

    my ipod will turn on but it just shows the word itunes with a usb cord on the screen and wont do anything else wats wrong with it??

    The symbols/icons are telling you to connect it to your computer.  For some reason, your iPod thinks it is a brand new iPod.  Just restore the iPod from backup and you should be offered that option when you connect the iPod to the same computer it was last synced with,
