Update software for Ipod

I tried to update my Ipod software but an error message pops up saying There was a problem downloading the Ipod Software for my Ipod and that the service was temporaily unavailable what can i do to fix it

I do not believe that this is possable. Your iPod photo does not have the same hardware that the iPod video has to allow it to playback video. If a video iPod is important to you, you will need to by a 5G iPod.
Hope this helped

How to download new firmware/software for iPod classic

This may get complicated..My iPod Classic 120GB has served me well at my restaurant in Mexico as my pimary music source. During my absence, my manager's son (age 12) decided to "get" my music into his computer. I know he has a PC (I have Mac's)..almost sure he doesn't have iTunes. I was told my iPod "didn't work anymore", and I had it sent back to the states. It shows (on the iPod screen) as Connected..it shows up on desktop as "untitled" hardrive. iTunes doesn't recognize it at all. There is no reference to "My iPod" at all. I think he (somehow) removed any/all iPod software, along with my music (which is on my computer), so it appears that I'm left with a nice, empty, 120gb external hard drive. Question is: Can I download software to restore it to it's former iPod glory? Seems like I've tried on Apple Site, but all they want to do is "upgrade" existing iPods. Would really appreciate any suggestions that can help me get back on the bandwagon!!
Thanks,
DC

Have you tried a complete reformat of your iPod by using the Disk Utility app on your Mac? See this article for instructions on reformatting your iPod.

Updating software on iPod Classic... Is it worth it?

I have read through countless posts where people have complained about several significant problems with/during/after updating the software on their iPod Classics. To be fair, I will also say that there are those who claim to have had no problems at all with the updates...
...and there's obviously no way to tell which side of the coin you'll be on until you actually try the update.
I purchased my first ever iPod (Classic 160 v1.0.3) in January 2008 and have never had a problem with it. However, because I've never owned an iPod of any kind before, I have no frame of reference in comparing volume limits, menu speed, or trackwheel sensitivity.
So my question is this: For all who are in the same shoes as I, is it really worth taking a chance updating the software on the iPod, when the results could be bad and the odds of it happening are 50/50 - while also taking into consideration that Apple tends to drag their feet in resolving known issues?

I was in a similar situation where I had 1.0.3 on my iPod classic 160, was very happy with it, but wanted to update to 1.1.1 so that my TV shows would be ordered properly. I also read that there were improvements to the menu speed and coverflow. I waited a few weeks before I decided to take the plunge, since no one really was complaining that there were any obvious screw-ups this time around.
I now have 1.1.1 and don't regret the update. It really is good an stable. I haven't updated to 1.1.2 yet, although there is another thread for that explaining what others have experienced with that update.
Anyway, 1.1.1 is much better than 1.0.3 and I don't regret the update.

Error updating firmware for Ipod Classic 160

Ive been trying to update my Ipod Classic 160 for a few days now for update 1.1.1. ive tried several times and the update will download but then i get the error messages. "Ipod cannot be updated at this time, Firmware corrupted".
So what do i do now?

With that one, the following document might be worth a try:

Updating software for iPod

I hope this isn't a dumb question... but here goes. I keep getting a message that a new software version (1.1) is available for my iPod. I click on the link, but it sends me to an iTunes screen for updates. So OK, I update my iTunes, thinking that might also take care of the iPod software. I get a message that it updated successfully. I'm not sure that my iTunes really updated. It was supposed to download iTunes version 7, but I just checked my version and it's still version 6. Do I need to do something else to complete the update?
Also, how do I update my iPod software? I don't even know how to tell what version is on my iPod. Do I have to update my iPod software, or is that something that the iTunes update takes care of?
I've tried searching the discussion forums, but can't find a solution for my problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

Ok, not a dumb question . To find out what vrsion of iTunes you have, go to "help" then to "about iTunes". It'll tell you what version you have. Here's the Latest version of iTunes if you don't already have it:

This should take care of the update for the iPod.

Updating software for iPod Touch Model MC086LL

The current software on my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 and I would like to update it to the most recent software or to the 4.3 version at the very least. However, when I click check for software I receive a message indicateing that my software version is uptodate. I know for a fact that it is not the current version. How can I get my iPod Touch to do a software update? I have read and followed the instructions in the iPod manual and some instructions I have found on this site, but I still cannot get the software to update. Some of my apps should be updated including the one I use the most to listen to my ebook.
Thank you in advance for all who answer my request for help.

I have no reason to purchase a newer version iPod Touch, I just want to up date my software. There should be a way to do this and I wish I could find out how. A 3 year old device is just not considered old, in my option, and should be able to recieve updates. (F.Y.I., my windows computer is over 7 years old and I can update it's software. If Apple makes you purchase new devices in order to have newer software, then I don't see me buying any more Apple device which is sad as I just purchased an iPad and "love" my iPod Touch.)

What is the last software for iPod classic 160gb?

I've got 1.1.2, but for my earphones with remote need >2.0

I tried, but it is not helping.
Perhaps the problem is because my ipod made 2007?
Yes. It's likely that your 160 GB model is the one where software version 1.1.2 was the last update for it. So that's why iTunes is informing you that your iPod is up to date. Not much else you can do. Sorry.

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

Hi krazyfreshkid!
Try disconnecting your iPod from your computer.
Then, restart your computer. Force your iPod into disk mode, following the steps here:
Putting iPod into disk mode
Then, when your computer has fully loaded up, connect your iPod to your computer.
To do still get that error message in iTunes?
Also, if that doesn't affect anything, these five iPod troubleshooting steps would be worth a try:
