Updater won't connect with iPod

I have a 20GB iPod that has been working fine up until a couple weeks ago, and then began freezing all the time. I want to restore the iPod because reseting it does nothing, and I have the latest updater.
However, the Ipod doesn't connect to the updater(i have windows not Mac), or to my iTunes either. Any Ideas?

Yeah. I am having the same problem installing the new ipod software. my pc no longer recognises my ipod...

  • Safari and software update won't connect with 10.6.5 and 10.6.6

    Downloaded 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to my 4 month old Macbookpro but safari and software update wouldn't connect. Camino worked fine. I'm back on 10.6.3. It works fine but I would like to update. Suggestion?

    In response to how did I update if safari and update didn't work with 10.5 and 10.6. Your question is silly. I updated from 10.6.4 and as I said Camino works fine and always has.

  • ITunes won't connect with iPod

    Whenever I plug in my iPod, it begins to connect, but instantly goes to the "Now Ejecting" screen.
    It won't even show up on iTunes either.
    This might be because last time I was updating it, an impatient somebody unplugged it mid-download and a little bubble popped up and said that there may be problems with the iPod.
    The bubble was right.
    halp.

  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

  • After lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

    after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

    I've had a similar problem.  On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4,  Firefox would not open.  Crashed every time.  Safari was not affected.  I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago. 
    Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

  • Deskjet Advantage 3540 (Envy 4500): Computer won't connect with printer during software installation

    I just bought this printer and I am trying to install it by using the HP installation CD but I am running into difficulties to complete the process. The problem is that the computer won't connect with the printer (but my printer connects fine with my Wi-Fi network) and installation does not complete.
    The HP software installation process appears to go  normally (at least no error messages are shown) but when it gets to the part where it asks me how I would like to connect to the printer (Wireless or USB cable) I get an error message when I select Wireless Mode. My printer appears listed but as soon as I select it, a dialog is shown stating that "network installation could not be performed".
    Below are the dialogs and what happens (text is in portuguese but you get the idea)
    Dialog 1: selecting wireless connection mode
    Dialog 2: printer appears in list and I select it
    Dialog 3: Error message is shown, no further details
    Here are some more facts:
    (1) Printer connect fines with my Wi-Fi network: the connection details are correctly shown in its display (Wi-Fi SSID and IP 192.168.0.6) ;
    (2) If I go to a web browser in my computer and type in the IP address, I can access the printer's webpage fine;
    (3) I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HP software;
    (4) I've resetted my router;
    (5) I've executed "HP Print and Scan Doctor" utility and it states my software hasn't been installed (which I don't understand) and it tries to download HP software and install one more time and I get to the error.
    (6) If I go to "Start" menu, I can see the HP group is empty (installation only creates icons on my desktop). See picture below:
    My OS is Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate (Service Pack 1)
    EDIT: I've just discovered the inkjet Advantage 3540 and Envy 4500 appear to be the same printer, each target to a different market.
    Help is much appreciated as I tried a lot of things to make this printer work wirelessly with my computer but without success.
    Thank you,
    Joao Pedro

  • I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network.

    I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
    Thanks for your help.

    I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
    To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
    Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
    Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
    You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC.

    Microsoft Exchange won't connect with my iPhone (it's saying the password is incorrect, but it shouldn't be), now I can't delete that inbox on the phone.  Help??

    Turn off wifi.  Use wireless signal. reenter password at settings.  This should work.  Turn wifi back on if you wish.  Wait for next occurrence within hours or days.  Have not found a permanent preventive solution.  Thinking of replacing my four year old wireless router.

  • My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
    How can I correct this?

    I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 3rd gen ipod won't connect with firewire.

    3rd gen ipod won't connect to itunes with firewire. USB connects rarely but drains battery quickly. I've rebooted the ipod and computer and updated itunes. No effect. Any remedies besides buying a new ipod.

    Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
    Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?

  • A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

    I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
    I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

    Hey BingHuo,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iPod's battery doesn't charge
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a good one,

  • IPod Updater Code problem? iTunes not connecting with iPod.

    There may be a problem with the iPod updater.
    I have a 15 GB iPod (JQ418QZLQQF)
    Updated iTunes to 5.0.1.4. Connected iPod.
    Got a window...told me to downloaded iPod Updater 9/23/05. Did it.
    Updated iPod. iTunes would start writing and then quit. Got a window; told me to restore iPod.
    Tried restore 7 times. Failed. When iTunes tried to load it stalled, then McAfee Antivirus program hung up, then got messages that it could no longer communicate with iPod ... got (-36) errors.
    Got FAQ sheets. Did everything. Unplugged from internet, disabled antivirus program. No luck.
    Unloaded every non-related program in RAM. No luck.
    Tried iTunes and iPod in SAFE mode. No luck.
    Last error message was "Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53)"
    Bought 5th generation 20 GB iPod Color. Plugged it in.
    Reformatted it with the 9/23/05 ipod updater. ... iTunes could not connect to it.
    Tried the 9/6/05 updater. Still didn't work.
    Opened the CD that it came with and installed the 6/5/05 ipod updater software. iTunes immediately recognized the new ipod and loaded songs without failure.

    I ran into this on a client system yesterday. Same issue re: new songs with a dock ipod running ver 2.2.
    I tried to update on three separate g4 based macs, each running 10.3.9. On one, the ipod failed to mount. On the other two, the updater gave the message {approx} "the firmware for the update is not present" when the Update button was clicked.
    For no good reason, I tried using the "Update" in the Options menu instead of the button. I immediately got an administer confirmation box, gave the password, and the update proceded correctly. Monkey behavior triumphs. Got to be an installer bug. Try it and let us know if this works for you.
