Unable to update my 8Gb Nano

HELP! My 8Gb Nano has software V1.0.2. Itunes tells me a new software version is available for my Nano but when I try to update to v1.1 I am told that "the Ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by annother application". This happens each time that I attempt an update. What can I do to resolve this please?

I am told that "the Ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by annother application".
perhaps try MrHess's suggestion from the following post:

Unable to update my IOPD Nano

Ever since I downloaded iTunes 7.0, iTunes doesn't recognize my nano as a nano. Instead, it thinks it's a jump drive and displays the folders of the nano (in a Windows box. As a result, it doesn't automatically start iTunes either. And when I do it the other way around (i.e., start iTunes first then plug in the nano, it still does the same thing). It didn't do this before I downloaded the new version of iTunes.

Hello!
Have you tried the Five R's? (Other than restoring).
The Five R's
Have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer in Disk Mode?
Have you tried assigning your iPod a different drive letter, by following the steps below?:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device / Changing drive letter
Since iTunes 7's videos and games aren't really useful for an iPod nano you may want to go back to iTunes 6 from your installation CD, or from here.
If you'd like steps on how to do this, I'd be glad to post back.

Updating 8GB Nano

I had an old 40GB iPod that worked great. Never had a problem, until it died last month. I replaced it with an 8GB Nano and most of the songs transferred smoothly (though without the playlists - not enough space).
Now, when I try to update, the software runs and it says it's updated, but the new songs aren't there and the screen is grayed out and won't let me delete or add songs. And, there is a padlock looking thing to the right of the capacity on the bottom of the screen that I've never seen before (but has nothing to do with the parental control). Never had this problem with old iPod. Any input on what to do?

You're welcome, I'm glad the information was of help. Just in case maybe you want to try another option, a different way to manage an iPod with a smaller capacity is to set it to "Sync Music - Selected playlists, choosing this update option allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want and the changes are made automatically to the iPod the next time you connect.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply:

Take care.

I can't update my ipod nano

though i can download the songs but i'm unable to update the newly downloaded songs. what should i do? can anyone help me?
thanks a lot!
ipod nano Windows XP

I'm presuming you are referring to tracks you've purchased from the iTunes Music Store, yes? If so, first, have you updated your iPod with the latest software? Note that I'm referring to the software (firmware) on the iPod itself, not your version of iTunes.
Second, have you played each track at least once within iTunes before you try and load the track to your iPod? If you haven't played the tracks once, try doing that and then see if they'll load.
Hope this helps.

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes.

I am unable to sync my ipod nano to my itunes. I have windows 8 and have updated everything on my computer and followed all of the tutorials for syncing. My ipod is recognized and my itunes says "ipod sync is complete" but I dont have any music on my ipod still... Help Please!

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. If you have not set up anything to sync, iTunes will still sync, but sync nothing.
If you "updated everything," you probably have the new iTunes 12. Connect the iPod. Look on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), and click the "device button" (it looks like the connected device). This shows the iPod's "management" screen.
In the sidebar (along left side of window), under Settings, click Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Check the box for Sync Music, which enables automatic syncing for Music. NOTE: If that was box not checked already, and you manually added songs to the iPod previously, any songs on the iPod now that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.
Below that, if your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on your iPod completely, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select what you want to sync from the lists of playlists, artists, albums, and genres. The "capacity bar" at the bottom of the screen shows you how much space on the iPod you are using. A convenient way to do this is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put only the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. Or you can use existing playlists. Then, on the iPod's Music screen, only select (checkmark) the those playlists, under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod based on your selection on the iPod's Music screen. Going forward, changes in your iTunes music library sync automatically to the iPod (based on how you set up the iPod's Music screen). If you selected playlists to sync to the iPod, to update songs on the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes.

Unable to update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 or 10.4.10

I am trying to install the Mac OS X Combined (PowerPC) update and get the stop sign with the exclamation mark inside.
I have 16.8GB of free space on the drive.
"Installing this software requires 512MB of space"
"You cannot install Max OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I had the same problem when trying to update to 10.4.9 but figured it wasn't something I needed to do really, but now I am finding I cannot update anything. When I run Software Update, there is never anything that comes up as needing to be updated. I can't install security fixes or anything else either. Why am I unable to update anything on my iMac?

I never checked permissions.....so I ran disk utility and some permissions were not set correctly. What would cause that? Did I somehow change them without knowing?
"Determining correct file permissions.
Permissions differ on ./Library, should be drwxrwxr-t , they are drwxrwxr-x
Owner and group corrected on ./Library
Permissions corrected on ./Library
Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r-----
Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log"
Also, does Apple cover bad hard drives with their warranty? I did a surface scan and the volume is damaged and unable to repair because it is the OS...can it be fixed, or do I need to contact Apple under the warranty?

Rebuild screen freeze - unable to update firmware as not docking. Help please

Hello, I've got an 8gb Zen.
Always worked fine til I tried one of those hand crank chargers, since then I turn it on and it will freeze on the rebuilding screen.
Ran scandisk on it - no joy.
Wanted to try and update firmware to see if that helped but it will not connect to computer via USB. It will charge from the usb but just not connected, nothing.
Any help appreciated. Thank you

QRe: Rebuild screen freeze - unable to update firmware as not docking. Help please? So, it freezes on the rebuilding screen after formatting? It is very odd. Just to make sure... you have formatted (not cleaned up) the device from the Recovery Mode menu, right?
My only suggestion now is trying to mount the device on another computer (try one with a BSD or Linux operating system) and format it from here. With some luck, you should be able to see it as a new USB dri've. I am suggesting one of these operating systems, as you have a chance to mount your player on them even if it does not boots up properly. (I did it to recover mine just before suspecting there was a discrepancy on the FATs stored of the filesystem.) In your case, you will have a chance to format the device (using a FAT filesystem, of course) from these operating systems. I am, however, surprised to see that the Recovery Mode format function does not do its work on your player.
If your device does not boot up and freezes on the scanning/rebuilding processes there is a chance you have a problem with your filesystem instead of a fried USB port. So, there is a chance you can fix this device yourself yet.

OSX: Adobe Creative Cloud unable to update (stall at 50%)

Hey experts,
ever since signing up for Creative Cloud I have been unable to update any application as my regular user on OSX. After exchanging 23 emails with the Adobe support in 2013 I finally gave up and created a workaround in the hope that the Adobe developers would finally look into the issue and fix the bug. With the last update of Creative Cloud my workaround stopped working so I took time to do a complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud to see if the bug was finally fixed. It was not.
The bug:
-Installation of Creative Cloud and Photoshop, Lightroom etc. through the Creative Cloud app works.
-Any try to update a CC applicaton (e. g. Photoshop CC 2014 results in the state "waiting" at 50%):
-Trying to update through the menu of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 "Aktualisierungen"
resulted in the following error message:
Translation: "Update failed. Unable to apply updates. Adobe Application manager is already running. Close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates. etc."
What I tried to resolve the problem:
What did not work:
-Complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud:
     -Uninstall of all Adobe applications
     -Ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool
     -Eliminated every single *[Aa]dobe*-folder on my disk including my profile.
     -Reboot
     -Re-installation using a fresh CC download.
-The common 1st-level-support acts of desperation:
     -Rebooting
     -Checking the file system
     -Fixing permissions
-The bug even survived 2 OSX system upgrades
-Even tried to track down the bug myself which I gave up after having discovered the endless chain of Creative Cloud and AAM-Processes executing each other...
What worked:
-Installing updates as another OSX user. (Which is cumbersome and to be honest I am unwilling to create a new profile and redoing the settings of all installed (especially non-Adobe) applications because of an Adobe bug...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Patrick

I am unable to update apps on my iPhone 5.

I am unable to update my apps on my iPhone 5. As I select the update button it asks for my password but the goes back to like it was. I have already rebooted a couple of times & even logged out & signed back into my iCloud, iTunes & App store. Nothing worked. But, I am still able to download new apps.
Please tell me what can I do now to update my apps. All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Can you explain a little more? Is there a problem with your app store account? If so, http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If there is another reason, can you describe it?

Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
alter database app.db end archive;
