ITunes updates songs, playlists, etc., but will not update iPod options

When I plug in my iPod (4G, 40GB), everything syncs as it should --songs, playlists, podcasts, etc. The same is true when I manually choose to update the pod. (i.e. from a context menu or somewhere else in the UI) However, I am unable to change any of the options for the iPod. This includes renaming, choosing disk access, etc.
When I attempt to make these changes from the "Preferences" dialog, iTunes will say "Updating iPod," etc. but while the changes appear in iTunes, they are not actually made on the iPod itself.
A similar situation occurs when renaming the iPod. Same as before, iTunes "goes through the motions" but doesn't actually change. The difference is that after the iPod is renamed, it will no longer update until the iPod is ejected and reconnected. iTunes gives an error message saying: "The iPod '[New Name]' cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." The name listed in the iPod's About menu is still the old name.
Info:
iTunes version: 6.0.4.2 (Win)
iPod firmware: 3.1.1
iPod connected via firewire
Gateway 500SE Windows XP Pro XP Pro SP2, P4 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM

iPod freezing up can sometimes indicate a hard drive failure. To determine this, follow these steps:
Press menu + select until the apple logo appears.
With the apple logo still on the screen, press and hold select + rewind. You will soon see a screen that says "IRAM PASS HIT PLAY CONTINUE".
Press play/pause.
Using the forward button, navigate to "HDD SCAN" and select it.
Connect your iPod to the wall adapter.
Allow sufficient time for the scan to complete, it can take a couple of hours. Results such as a "HDD PASS" that appears in seconds or a minute or two, "SCAN NG" or "RD FAIL" indicate the iPod's hard drive is pooched and the unit will have to be replaced.
Freezing during sync can also happen if the ports are not high powered USB 2.0.

Cannot see music playlists when trying to update ipod

hello, i've had lots of problems with itunes 7, stuttering music, lock ups etc.- wish i hadn't upgraded!
latest issue is when eventually i updated ipod to 1.2 software and tried to update it i can see playlists for movies and podcasts but not for music.
any ideas how to solve please.
i thinks its bad that apple haven't posted at least a note saying they'll look into these issues

hello again,
i know i can use the black arrow to view playlists on my ipod, but there arn't any - i did a restore on this ipod and so it hasn't got any playlists on it now, and i want to get them back on, i only did the restore because i was having the same problem when i upgraded to 1.2 as i'm having now and i hoped restore might solve it but it didn't!
to get playlists back on the ipod i was hoping to open up the music tab on the large ipod menu and select various playlists from the list inside the rectangle as i used to on itunes 6 and the ones before, but the playlists don't show up for me to select to copy to my ipod, the playlists are still in itunes and i can play them on the computer albeit with bad sound quality since upgrade.
i can see playlists under the movies and podcast tabs and i can copy these to ipod but no music playlists.
as i've said i can copy playlist the long way by dragging the playlist from the grey list on the side of the screen and dropping them on the ipod under devices but this will take days
thanks

I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, got error 1602

I was halfway thru updating ipod touch software, i walked away from computer and when i came back there was an error "1602" and a picture on my ipod (requesting to connect to itunes?) but WILL NOT WORK AT ALL!
What's going on? Seems like a lot of people are having similar problems all at the same time.

From the article cited at the end of my post:
Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

Am trying to update iPod that has iOS 2.2.1 to iOS 4.2 but I am getting the following error message, the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-1).

Hi , I am trying to update iPod that has iOS 2.2.1 to iOS 4.2 but I am getting the following error message, "the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-1)." I would appreciate if anyone could let me know what the problem is and if it is possible how to fix it? Thanks

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Updated ipod nano is now not recognised by windows or itunes

Hi,
I am sure there would be numerous people who are in the same situation. Being computer illiterate does not help the situation i tell you. Can anyone please help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is everything up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, have you seen and tried this?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
Finally, when you connect your iPod to your computer, open My Computer. See if the iPod appears there. If it does...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

Error message when updating Ipod

I recently had to reinstall my operating system, so I also just reinstalled itunes and the ipod software (both with the latest versions from apple). but now, everytime I update my ipod it says "unable to update ipod. unexpected error occurred (-4)". All of the songs actually do update to my ipod, but I keep getting this error message. Does anyone know what it can mean? I have reformed my ipod, reinstalled the software...i've done everything the apple website has suggested, and i've now been working on it for hours. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I take it back....the songs aren't actually updating to the ipod....all the song names appear, but the songs will not play from the ipod. This is extremely frustrating!

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Troubles updating ipod, cannot disconnect, songs erased (tried the 5 Rs)

hey guys,
i'm sorry to ask for help with my first post but i've been having some issues with my 2nd gen iPod nano lately. when i connect my iPod to my computer, i get a message in iTunes saying "Songs on the iPod "Han's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". in between the last update i deleted a few playlists, added a few more songs and deleted some songs. i then went to eject my iPod but i get the message "The iPod "Han's iPod" cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application", when i get this message, the space in iTunes where it displays what you are playing shows "Updating iPod. Do not disconnect.". after trying and failing to find a way to eject it, i just stopped the usb device and unplugged my iPod. then when i tried to use my iPod, i found that everything on it had been wiped and there was nothing on my iPod anymore. so i went to the apple website and tried all five Rs but none of them worked. could someone here please help me with my problem? i'm currently running iTunes 7.0.2 which i believe is the latest version. i'm currently using windows 2000 and it automatically updates every week so i assume i have the latest service pack.
thanks

been away last few days, still need help.
bump bump.
thanks.

Error message when trying to update ipod software

I have OS 10.3.9 but am getting the following message...,
You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires OS 10.2.8 or higher. Please advise. Thanks.

If you're trying to install the updater onto your iPod directly, you can't. Instead, install the iPod updater onto your hard disk, and then open the /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater folder. There should be one or more copies of the iPod updater inside this folder; double-click the most recent copy. Once the iPod updater has opened with the iPod plugged in, click the Update button and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update. If you get a message telling you the updater couldn't find a firmware image, choose the Update iPod command from the Options menu to continue with the update.

If you updated from iOS 4 or iOS 5 to iOS 6 you have to download the YouTube app from the App store. With iOS 6 it no longer comes with the iOS.
