Update without pluging ipod into mac????

I've heard that the new app store application that we are geting this June has a app that will allow us to update to the current software directly on the iPod touch
please post back if you think this app will succeed in allowing us to enjoy our iPod more.

How would this application backup user data before the Update/Restore process commenced? How would it restore media to the device after the Update has been conducted. What happens if the download is corrupted part way?
Think I'll stick to running software updates from my iMac. I waited a week for 1.1.4 because I was out and about but it wasn't the end of the world.

Is there a way to do a firmware update without being plugged into a power source?

I have a Macbook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and the indicator light on the Magsafe power cord is not lighting up. I know the cord works because I have tried it on a different computer but it is only this macbook that it doesn't work on. I have reset the SMC. I do need to do a firmware update but when I try to do the update it the firmware it will not let me update because the computer doesn't know that its connected to a power source. When I look at the battery life indicator on the right hand corner it says that its calculating but never changes.
I was using the computer running on battery life and it turned off. I was able to turn the computer on. The computer powers on and off but i'm assuming its going to run the battery power. I don't have another battery to try on this computer. Are there any suggestions?
Firmware update 1.4 is what i'm trying to install

- Verify the file and disk formats on your camcorder and on your friend computer whether they support what you want to do. Also, if you are using a specific application to do the task, you may need to verify an application whether it supports the file format (e.g. MPEG4, Apple Intermediate Codec).
- Verify the device cable type whether Mac OS X 10.4.x supports.
- Verify the device compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4.x.
- Check an available firmware or driver for the camcorder that has developed after Mac OS X 10.4.4.
- Try diagnosing and repairing local hard disk and camcorder's drive directory.
- Verify disks permissions issue.
- Verify whether the disk is TOO warm or cold to read.
- If every troubleshooting does not solve the issue, consider to reformat the camcorder drive.

Song transfer of Windows formatted iPod into Mac iTunes?

My iPod was formatted using my Windows computer, but I recently got a Mac and i use both computers equally. However, I would like both computers to have the same music in iTunes. is there a way to transfer songs from my Windows computer to the Mac without reformatting my iPod?

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

Plugged Ipod into Mac after using Windows--Now Corrupted

My friend recently plugged my ipod into his mac and my pc computer wont recognize it anymore. The screen is different when it says "do not disconnect" like it would be if you use a mac with it. I got it to recognize it once, restored it and loaded up my music again which worked until I plugged it in to my computer the next time and the mac do no disconnect came up and now some songs wont play and it will cycle through playlists and skip some of the songs. Please help...i want to kill my friend who plugged it into his mac.

Daphne,
Quite alright, as for the music transfer you can still use said way as before.
Using your ipod as a disk to move music is really only good if you have the original hard drive to use. You must copy the files onto your ipod in a different manner then that of iTunes. Example You would open my computer drag the files 'including music' to your ipod. You would then plug your ipod to your mac, it will mount a little ipod icon on your desktop, you would then drag the files off of your ipod either into the correct music folder or (if you have it setup in itunes to copy to itunes music folder) right to itunes.
As for formated correctly Macs are more then capable of reading and writing to an ipod formated on Windows. However you will have a much smoother experience if you formate it to work with your mac.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Will iCloud update calendars from iPod to mac mini or just mac to iPod?

Plugged Ipod into Mac after using Windows--Now Corrupted Please Help

Ipod 1.2.1
My friend plugged it into his Mac, Ive been using it on my PC. It says its corrupted now when I plug it into the PC. I restore it and it says its restored but then the "do not disconnect" mac screen comes up (looks different than the do not disconnect pc screen), and when I try to restore it again, it wont recognize it. How can I fix this problem??

Sorry, it is a bit confused
Your iPod is a 3rd Generation (clickwheel) or (touch wheel),
is it a dock connector?
You need to do the Reset:-
For clickwheel - Press select+menu keys
For touch wheel - Press Play/Pause+Meny buttons
until you see the apple logo
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer

Creative Cloud Update Without Admin Access on Mac OS X

How can I configure Creative Cloud client to automatically update from Adobe servers without administrative access on Max OS X? Our users do not have administator access on their machines, so they cannot update Creative Cloud by themselves. Thanks in advance.
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I will suggest you to create a Package of only 1 app like Dreamweaver and include CC Desktop app in the Package. Deploy the Package on the client machines so it will install the software along with CC Desktop app and the users can download the rest of the app's later.
Deploying package will also install Remote Update Manager on each client machine, you can invoke it remotely through command line or from remote management tools.
Hope this answers your query.

IPod Updater without iTunes

Sooooooo, you can't update your iPod without iTunes now?
Sounds like Microsoft OS/Internet Explorer type thing.
I DO NOT WANT ITUNES. It kills computers, it is not even close to being the best music organizing and playing software, and it is a pig on the PC.
But I do want to get the most up to date updater.
Shockingly, I use a 3rd party software to sync my iPod, one that is WAY better than iTunes and is no drain to the system, one that leaves my song information THEY WAY I WANT IT (Jimmy buffett is not country, Porcupine Tree is not rock, etc...). Anapod Explorer kills iTunes in every category and I have absolutely no need to download music from the iTunes store.
So why do I have to install it to update my iPod?
Apple, quit GOING BIG BROTHER ON US and let us download an updater without iTunes.
oh, and I had to reboot my mac all the time, unlike your commercials say.
Gateway m685 Windows XP Pro Also running Vista, and IT ROCKS

1. Because it kills PC's. There are too many problems with it. It is a drain on the system. etc...
2. As the IT person at a company that does not want users accessing the web for music, we do not allow the install of iTunes on machines. We allow people to plug their iPod into their machines to charge, or run the updater if they die while at work, but do not allow music to be downloaded or purchased online. Therefore we do not want to install iTunes just to get the updater.
3. For home use, it is not even close to being the best music organization software. Once iTunes touches a file I have labeled and named in another software, it wants to change it and rename it and so on. It also puts a lock on music that you download, which shockingly, I do not like because I have 4 iPods, 6 computers, and to other systems that access my music, so I would like to be able to use that music on all MY machines. Every time iTunes updates, it likes to take over and I do not like that. No thanks, I don't want it on my machine.
I found a link to get the last updater on another site and in Apple support as well:
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipodupdater20060628.html
it is still one of the most downloaded items, so I must not be the only one. Since Apple forgets they put out a previous version of their products, I don't see any updater improvements to my 1g, 2g, 4g and 5g iPods, so I think I am pretty set by just using the old updater.
Thanks for your help.

Can't update ipod (windows-mac issue)

My mom got a MacBook on sale so this is now what I use for everything; it is faster and more efficient than the PC that we own. On my iTunes, I can do everything exceptupdate my iPod nano. It simply says "Only Macintosh-formatted iPods can be updated." How do I change my Windows-formatted iPod to a Macintosh-formatted iPod?

Are you sure that there is no way to change the
format?
I never said there wasn't a way to change the
format.
To change the format, select it in iTunes on the Mac
and select Restore.
I am having a similar issue with my daughters ipod nano. It was formatted for windows when we bought it (we have the songs on a mac) but it only downloads some of her library not all. Having looked in some of the forums it suggests restoring however when we plug the ipod into the mac the button for restoring the ipod to factory settings is not highlighted. In this case how can the ipod be restored to a mac setting? We are using the latest itunes software and OSX operating system.

Updating without plugging into the mains...argh help please?

Hi, I've just installed new software on my iPod Mini and now want to get on with loading more songs onto it. The trouble is, it won't recognise my ipod on itunes until I've plugged my iPod into the mains using the regular charger. I don't have the regular charger on me!! Is there any way to still use my ipod with my pc without connecting to the mains? This is the only chance for me to add more music.
Please help, thank you lots!!
Samsung PC Windows XP

Your other options are to connect it to your PC via 6-Pin powered firewire port if you can... or possibly a car cigarette lighter charger.
At this point, your iPod needs to complete the update process and connecting to an external power source is the only way to complete the process.

Updating a Windows Ipod on a Mac?

Can I use my mac to update a windows ipod? The ipod needs a system update.

I have an Ipod for windows. Can I play my ipod on a Mac? Would the Mac/Itunes ask me to update my ipod to Mac? If I do that, can I format my ipod to mac and later reverse to window without problems? I have to Dj for a friend's party and he has a mac laptop wired to the whole sound system. Of all the options, hooking up my window/ipod to his mac is the easiest solution ..is that possible?

my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
