Update itunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 or not?

Hi, i have a 30gb ipod video (not the newly released version) and realize that apple introduced firmware 1.2 for the old ipod video. However, i have noticed many people are experiencing difficulties to update their ipods w/ the new firmware. I am interested in gettin my ipod to have the new features and all.
So, should i update my ipod w/ firmware 1.2? or wait till apple release a newer firmware 1.2.1 or sth?
Btw, i don't sync my ipod w/ itunes, since i have more songs in ipod than itunes.
Thanks in advance!

Given the problems I've had with songs resetting my
ipod, and similar issues mentioned here
(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=655
430&tstart=0), I would suggest waiting for Apple to
acknowledge and fix it.
I have been having the same problem... AND I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE SIMILARITY IN ALL OF MY PROLEMATIC MP3'S...
THEY ARE ALL ENCODED IN MONO
I do not have any other type of file besides MP3's on my IPOD, and as of yet, I have not had this restarting problem with ANY of my files EXCEPT for EVERY ONE of them that is in MONO (as opposed to stereo).
When I have some time I will try to RE-encode these songs in Stereo, and reload them into my Ipod to see what will happen. But I'm going on vacation for a week and will not be able to do this for over a week. If anyone out there has the time, please try this and let us know how it works out.
For the time being, I am removing EVERY file that is encoded in Mono from my Ipod, and hopefully this problem will disappear.

  • Should I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 on my iPod?

    Should I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 on my iPod because it seems alot of people are having problems especially with the firmware on their iPods.

    I am running a Mac and my iPod is experiencing the lock-up that others have reported here.
    The update to iTunes 7 as well as to firmware 1.2 for iPod went smoothly and the iPod reboot as part of the firmware upgrade completed successfully. However, I then attempted to eject the iPod and found that the "Do Not Disconnect" screen was frozen on the iPod. I waited for a while but it was frozen - wasn't blinking.
    I have reset the iPod numerous times only to find that it freezes shortly after the reset. I have been able to connect it to my MacBook right after a reset and it does seem to sync but I can't eject it successfully - always freezes while connected. Because of this consistent freezing I am unable to attempt a restore on the iPod.

  • Will solve Apple the iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 problems?

    Hello.
    Does Apple know the iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 (iPod video 60Gb) problems?.
    (i.e. iPod keeps freezing after a few seconds ever since you updated to iTunes 7 and/or iPod software ver. 1.2.)
    Will solve Apple this problems?. Perhaps a New version?.
    Thanks.

    Don't worry, they started getting aware of those problems for sure.
    Give them the time to fix that (I presume during this week).

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • Updating iTunes 12.1 and get error message "The procedure entry point CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll - what went wrong and how to resolve this?

    Updating iTunes 12.1 and get error message "The procedure entry point CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll". What went wrong and how to resolve this?

    Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of.
    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.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

    I have the same problem.   It's showing old podcasts that are available for download and I already watched and I don't want to see them again and I don't want them listed in my iTunes.  This latest upgrade is a piece of junk so far.   It destroyed my itunes podcast listing on my Windows Machine.   I have no intentions of upgrading to iOS7 or my Mac until I hear that things are fixed.

  • Itunes 10.5.2 Issues! Been "Updating iTunes Library" for over 8 hrs now. Not even halfway finished on about 275 GB

    Itunes 10.5.2 Issues! Been "Updating iTunes Library" for over 8 hrs now. Not even halfway finished on about 275 GB
    Anyone else having issues with this update?!?!?!
    Can't access anything in my library while it's doing this.

    I moved into a clean install last night and when I fired up iTunes 10.5.1. I held down "option" key, selected my original library and everything was perfect. That was until I quit. It started to "update" the library. I was slightly concerned, but since I had just moved into a new install I let it go and hoped for the best. For 85GB it took quite a while, close to an hour. This made me a little more concerned, but in the light of Apple, I resigned myself to the fact that "stuff" happens. And again hoped for the best. So I would imagine for 275GB would be a lot more. THEN after that was done it asked if I wanted it do something to match my settings? ***? My settings were the same as they were in the previous install. Or did something not go right with 10.5.1 in the other install and this was overlooked? I OK'd it and hoped for the best again.
    But now I am getting an error as I startup iTunes:
    "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42404)"
    iTunes comes up just fine behind this error and after dismissing it all is just fine. Or so I think or am led to believe. I'm thinking it's a "phone home" component, so I'm not real concerned. That's why I came here today to look up this error and stumbled on this post that somewhat happened to me last night.
    Looks like the process takes a while. And what it's updating I'm not sure, but I run nightly updates and all the "important" iTunes files in many iterations are safely backed up for reversion. Apple, never a dull moment . . .

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.
    SanDisk  http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes <http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16668/kw/itunes> Videos purchased or rented from iTunes will not play in iOS 8 The SanDisk Wireless Media Drive and Wireless Flash Drive support streaming of DRM protected iTunes purchased movie content to authorized devices in iOS 6 and iOS 7 ONLY. The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.
    in contrast: here is the excerpt from the Apple Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFSQ2VC/A/sandisk-connect-64gb-wireless-media- drive?fnode=12ea113d2dba9883d5561c573d91…

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.
