Update greyed - help please

I connect my Ipod classic to my Mac as normal (no problems before). It reads the Ipod and the Ipod shows on the desktop. However, when I try to synch it is now saying "Ipod software out of date click on the update button under the summary tab". The update button under the summary tab is greyed, what can I do please?

I've just noticed that my Ipod was formatted under windows (I didn't have a Mac when I first got the Ipod). Is there any way I can format it to Mac now so I can get it updated. I downloaded some TV programmes for the first time and the problems started after that, so think I do need to update the Ipod to read them.

    I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • Can't get into IPad 2 after latest update.  HELP, PLEASE!??

    I made the mistake of updating my IPad 2 to the latest IOS7.  Now I cannot get into it.  When I turn it on, it says 'hello' and to swipe to set up the new update.  Sometimes the swipe brings up a new screen; sometimes it just scrolls through several languages.  Sometimes it asks for my Apple ID and gets as far as "updating ICloud."  It NEVER finishes updating ICloud! 
    I cannot reach my apps or a normal looking screen.  Can someone help, please?  Is there any way to get this update to work or to UNDO the update?  I'll be grateful if you can help.......  Thank you so much!

  • "Bluetooth: Not Available" problem created by software update; need help please?

    I ran a regular software update as prompted by my iMac to get to 10.6.8, and now have "Bluetooth: Not Available" with squiggly line thru it.  I've tried an SMC, updated software to 10.8.4...no availability of my Bluetooth to work the magic mouse, or any ability to access Bluetooth in System Preferences...help please?

    You say you have "tried an SMC."  Reset the SMC nd PRAM again.
    Barry
    P.S.  It is unlikely that the update had anything to do with the missing Bluetooth.

  • I am trying to install Itunes again but it wont let me. So i was uninstalling all the apple and itunes programs to start over, i have everything uninstalled exept Apple Software Update. HELP PLEASE

    When i try to uninstall Apple software update it brings up a message saying "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program requirement for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I believe i have Windows VISTA. Yes i know its old but i have not had the money or time to update.
    I just want itunes installed properly so i can use it for when i have my new phone. please please help i have tried everything it seems like !

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Can't install 10.5.1 update! help please!

    hi
    i have written a post before but it is still unresolved.
    i have installed the leopard os last week (erase and install) i can't run software update and the manual 110MB updater doesn't work, instead i get this message:
    +"You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."+ i also get the same message when i try to install the keychain update.. my startup disk has a free space of 25GB and i have fixed the disk's permissions before running the installer..
    please help me to solve this.
    thanks

    If you have more than one account now (e.g., one created during the install, and one/more restored from a back up), have you tried installing the combo (110 MB) update from the account you created during the erase & install (the very first admin account created)? If not, try logging into that account and try installing the combo update and see if the problem goes away. Then do a permissions repair (it might take a while).

  • Unsure about doing 4.2 ipod update - need help please!

    When I plug my ipod touch into my mac and indicate that I do want to do the 4.2 update the following message appears 'Updating to 4.2 will delete all media, including itunes store purchases. to preserve your media apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos. Updating on this computer will only preserve apps, contacts, calendars, text messages and other settings. please don not interrupt the update which may take an hour or more'....... my question is, should I do this update?? From this message is sounds as though my ipod will be totally wiped clean. Is that what will happen? I don't sync when I plug in my ipod, I manually manage my music so I've read others comments regarding their success in unplugging their ipod after their update and replugging it back in and once it syncs all the music is there, playlists too. But since I don't sync I am concerned about mine. What is the best thing for me to do?
    Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I'm not an advanced computer person - I consider myself an 'advanced beginner' and I'm really nervous about messing this up.

    I just did the 4.2 update and now EVERYTHING is gone off my ipod - music, apps EVERYTHING!!! What do I do??? How do I get it back??? This stinks. I'm completely lost and I'm really frustrated. Please help

  • OS 10.2 update need help please!

    So i have a blackberry z10 which i bought off of someone, they were with either bell or rogers and than gave it to me and now it's with koodo. After buying the phone i noticed in small black letters at the top of me phone and it says " not for sale" and than a whole bunch of numbers. Everyone i know has the update except for me, i also live in Canada so i read that i was suppose to have the update already? I was told that i might have a " test trail" phone ? Like the phones that were given out to try out the z10, but i was told that if my phone is a test trail one it wouldve stopped working after a month and ive had it much longer than a month so i keep checking for th update and i know for a fact koodo has sent out their OS 10.2 update? So basically what im trying to say is, does anyone know if my phone can recieve the update or no? 
    thankyouu

    personally, I'd manually load 10.2, it's not hard, just need a PC, a downloaded file, and about 2-3 hours.
