Update of Ipod Photo 40G

Hi! I am about to update my Ipod Photo 40Gb; but before, I would like to know if the update deletes all the songs of the Ipod.
Thanks for your help,

Finally I had success, updating the device to IOS5. The solution was, to bring the Ipod to DFU mode. In this mode the update worked immediatelly. I used the already downloaded new OS and the update started without any problem on the first trial.
Here an (German) internet link to show, what to do to bring the device to this mode:

  • Can't see photos on ipod photo 40G

    Hi,
    I bought a 40G ipod photo with colour display last christmas'05. The old firmware couldnt display photos.
    recently, i upgraded the firmware with updater. But I still cant display the photos.
    Could anyone help?
    Paul

    Sorry for the late reply,
    From the main menu of the ipod, after selecting photos, and enter, I only see the SlideShow settings on the next menu.
    Am I supposed to see another selection of photo libraries other then this slideshow settings.
    Basically, I am unable to reach a selction leading to the photo library so that I can select the photo for viewing.
    Also under Settings>About>
    Songs - 383
    Photos - 0
    Capacity - 37.1 GB
    Available 28.9 GB
    Version 1.2
    Serial no .....
    Photos were actually transfered by copying folder containing photos in Windows XP into the ipod icon in Windows XP.
    Appreciate if you could help.
    Thanks

  • Demand firmware update for ipod photo!

    here :-
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    worth a try anyway

    I don't want a new feauture.. I just want my iPod Photo to stop crashing... after upgrading the firmware it crashes continously... others in the forum are having the same problem. The only way to solve the problem is to downgrade the firmware. I figured that the petition is to solve that issue.

  • When is apple going to release the next software updater for ipod photo

    Hi,
    Is this common to all products from apple that they will stop supporting/updating older or relatively older versions of their product family. The current ipod software updater is too old and it doesn't have the feature of volume control like the iPod video. I have been thinking about purchasing some other products from Apple but I suspect the same behaviour across the streams.
    -Ranjith

    When you bought your iPod, I assume you studied the features it offered, decided that those features suit you and so you made your purchase. How does the fact that a newer iPod now offers different features somehow entitle you to more?
    I'm not trying to be rude here, and I agree that it would be nice if Apple could offer some of these new features to an older iPod - but to just expect them to do it and admonish them for not just doesn't seem fair to me. What you want is something extra. If they provide it, great! If not, oh well - you still have all the features you originally paid for plus the podcast support that was added on.
    Cheers!

  • Itunes Showing IPod Photo as having 70g instead of 20g

    All,
    Since the upgrade to iTunes 6.0.5, and updating my iPod Photo (20g) to 1.2.1, iTunes is having a "space issue".
    The iPod connects fine, and iTunes sees it, and sees it's contents, but the space available adds up to 70g. So when transferring songs, it is incorrectly writing them, and nothing really gets transferred.
    A reinstall of iTunes and updater causes the problem to go away for at least one session if I'm lucky, but it always comes back when I connect the iPod a second time.
    Any ideas on why this is occuring or how to fix it?
    Thanks

  • Lyrics on Ipod Photo??

    Hi,
    I've recently added lyrics to my library in ITunes, but when I updated my Ipod Photo 60GB, I can't seem to get any lyrics on the actual Ipod. Does anybody know if you are able to view lyrics on Ipod Photo, or is it only the new Video Ipod that supports that?
    Thanks,
    Liora

    You can view lyrics on your iPod, but not in the way that you wish to do so. Here is the alternative way. It may be of some help, but it is far from perfect for your purpose.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • While I was updating my ipod touch there was an error and it said my ipod needed to be restored so I did that but I seemed to have lost all the photos I had on my ipod.  Is there anyway to get them back?

    While I was updating my ipod touch there was an error and it said I needed to restore my ipod.  I restored it from backup but I seem to have lost all my pictures that I had stored on there.  Is there any way to get them back?

    - Try restoring from a backup that include the photos. See the restore topic of:

    - If you use PhotoStream you should be able to get the last 30 days worth from your PhotoStream. See:

    I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • I updated my iPod to ios 5.1.1 and lost all my photos, what can i do to get them back?

    I updated my Ipod to ios 5.1.1 I figured all my photos would still be there since I backed it up and had photo stream on but they're no where to be found.  Is there any way I can get them back?

    Photo Stream has only the recent shots in Camera Roll.
    If you didn't backup with the appropriate software then it's gone.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.

  • Error iPod Photo won't update

    I have 2600 songs in my library, but my iPod photo will only update about 1500. Then I get an error -XX Unable to update Cali's iPod an error occurred. I have 60GB so I know it is not a capacity issue. I tried the tips from Apple (deleting the photo directory) and completely re-formatting my iPod 3 times.
    To make things worse. My library keeps getting corrupt and I have to import my CDs over and over again. The new thing is that all the files are being renamed to four letter files randomly. I have spent literally days on this. Can someone please help me? I never had this issue with my 20GB regular iPod. Could that be it?
    Please help,
    Cali
