Updating Ipod software to use soundDock

I have a 20B IPOD from the first or second generation. I want to use my BOSE sound Dock but you have to have sortware 3.0 or higher. I downloaded Itunes 7 but my settings on the IPOD still say version 1.2.1, What do I do to update the software so that it is 3 or higher?

By the way, you do not need to upgrade your iPod
software for Bose sound dock, just connect your iPod
with it, it should work
Hi,
I have an iPod mini (green, 6gb) and a Bose Sounddock. I have version 1.4.1 on the mini, and whatever came with the Bose. The remote has no effect, gets no response. I bought a new battery and that made no difference.
We can get great sound if we just put in the iPod and let it play, but obviously it's a pain without a remote.
Any thoughts? I've done the Apple iTunes update and restored the iPod as well (where I discovered no choices in restore, contrary to what Apple's own instructions say, so original factory settings were used).
Both my iPod and Bose are great machines. I wish I could get them to talk nicely to each other!

  • How do I update iPod software B4 using w/Yamaha YDS-10 Uni Dock 2 see photo

    We purchased a Yamaha AV Receiver and after we purchased our iPod, the folks at Circuit City told us we needed to purchase the Yamaha YDS-10 Universal Dock for iPod. We can play music just fine, but can't get back to the main menu which begins with Music, Photos, etc. We can only get to the menu beginning with Playlists, Artists, etc. We called iPod help and they determine it was not an iPod issue and said to take the unit back and get a new docking station. I found the manual for the docking station and it states:
    It is recommended that you update your iPod software before using it with this unit (YAMAHA YDS-10). The update for the iPod software is available at the Apple website.
    I can't find the software update and would greatly appreciate any help/assistance anyone can provide. We just want to be able to view our photos and the occasional movie now and then. Thank you in advance for all your help.

    thanks for the suggestion. This was just a simple tutorial on doing a regular restore through Apple. I've tried that already and it doesn't work. I'm sure that Apple downloaded the iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) through my iTues. When iTunes tries to install the firmware on my iPhone, however, that's when the errors start popping up. When I try restoring in DFU mode, my iPhone gets stuck in rebooting over and over again.
    It seems like I'm getting some kind of error even before it starts putting any firmware on my iPhone. I've never got to the part where there is a progress bar underneath the apple logo. Any other suggestions?

  • TS1702 My IOS is 4.2.2 and my ipod doesnt accept later versions. Before updating the software, I used to have viber and now I can reinstall it, because it needs IOS 4.3 or later. Is there any place where I can get the older versions of this app?

  • Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

    I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."  It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8.  What should I do?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

  • Updating iTunes without updating iPod software

    If I update my iTunes to 7.6, when I plug in my iPod will it require that I update iPod software too?
    If I update my iPod I will lose the majority of my music because it will require me to factory reset (it was initialized on a PC and is still on those settings) so I don't want to be forced into that option. I'd like 7.6 though so I can rent movies.
    any help would be great!

    No, you'll have the option to update iPod software--or not. I updated to iTunes 7.6, but I still haven't updated iPod from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3.

  • Why do i keep getting error msg #1403 when updating ipod software in itunes

    why do i keep getting error msg #1403 when updating ipod software in itunes

    I Googled an found no good solutions. II would try:
    - Making sure that you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.6.
    - Disable firewall and antivirus.
    What iOS is currently on the iPod?

  • I am updating the software on my daughters IPOD touch 4th generation and it is going on 4 hours now.  I know this is not normal.  What can I do?  It synced just fine, but has been stuck on" updating ipod software for 3 hours now!

    She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then.  I can not exit out of itunes either.

    If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required.  You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

  • Disabling the integrated graphics card or updating any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.

    So I couldn't activate Assassin's Creed 3 on bootcamp which I shuold have been able todo. I posted it on Ubistoft Support and This is what I got!
    Hello ,
    It looks like your DXDiag report is showing only an integrated graphics card. Being an Apple computer with an i7, it should have a dedicated video card as well. You may need to contact Apple support so they can help you either disable the integrated graphics card or update any software they use that will aid the computer in switching between the two graphics chips.
    So I was wondering how I could disable the intergrated grahics card or update any software that will aid the ocmputer in switching between the two graphic chips.

    The Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has only got one graphic card, and this is the integrated card, Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    Some games don't support this type of GPUs, and it looks like Assassin's Creed is one of them, so unfortunately, you can't run the game in this MacBook

  • Ipod generation 1, updated ipod software version 5.1.1 and now my ipod is dead..

    I have an ipod generation 1 since 2005 and it works perfectly till yesterday when i receive a prompt from iTunes store (after my last login 6 months ago) reminder/alert to update my ipod software version to 5.1.1 in which i did and just after i updated the software my ipod went dead..
    The message appeared "Please Wait..Very low battery.." However, when i plug it into adapter charger i'll see the normal screen, but the message appear when i use the cable to connect to my lappie....Urgent help! Thanks.

    You need to continue with the Recovery...
    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... After the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Trying to update iPod software; Connection problems.

    Okay, so I have the iPod Touch 4th Gen, and when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes said that there was a iPod software update available. I've tried several times to download the update, but every time I try the same thing happens: It only downloads a few hundred KB of it, then it stops there, and the remaining time displayed keeps going up until it shows up to 24 hours or more, and finally, an error message comes up saying it couldn't complete the request because of connection problems. (error = -3259)
    On a similar note, when downloading songs from iTunes, I constantly have to pause and resume them in order for them to fully download. Otherwise it just stops where it is.
    However, I can still connect to the store just fine, with only a very few timeouts here and there, but those are easily remedied by re-visiting the page I tried to view.
    So, clearly I have some sort of issue with my connection to iTunes. Can someone please help me?

    care to share what the other way to download it is??
    My boss has an ipad, last week he downloaded the 2 entire seasons of 24, and a season of Rescue Me with no problems at all, now he's trying to download a movie and he keeps getting this error. If those shows downloaded just fine why won't the movie download? Our Windows firewalls are disabled by Group Policy so that's not the problem... and our security software hasn't changed since last week when he successfully downloaded those shows so that shouldn't be the issue either. We don't use proxys. He's wired to the internet so it's not a wireless timing out on him issue. He's on the latest version of itunes. He's logged out of itunes store, shut down itunes, and relogged in... same problem.

  • Updated Ipod software 1.1

    Hey there,
    I am on the road for work for a period of time and do not have access to my full library of music which is on my PC at home. ( I have added some more tunes while travelling by manual update)
    If I install the new software update (ipod 1.1)on the computer I am using temporarily, will it auto-update the ipod and remove all the music I brought from home?
    Any help please?
      Windows XP Pro   30 GB video ipod

    I see complaints about the new iPod software update, and me I haven't had any problems with the update and my 60 Gig video iPod. If anything, I have notices that the menu responses seem a little faster, movie playing now only takes one click to play or pause the movie instead of two clicks and looking at the album art and rating songs seems to move slightly faster across the screen. What kind of problems are you having with the update on your iPod?

  • Can't update iPod software to 1.2.1

    I have 30Gb iPod video. Currently running version 1.2 with iTunes version 7 on a souped up Mac G4. I can't get it to update to v1.2.1 as iTunes offers. Keeps coming back with 'cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application' and 'the required file is in use'.
    I know I've updated the software version before this, but can't get a handle on this problem.

    You do not need an app at all to listen to audiobooks.
    They are in your music library.  Just sync them and listen to them.
