I have a 30GB iPod and a G4 iMac. My recent iTunes downloads won't update to my iPod; I get an error message saying I need to update my iPod software. I have iTunes 5, and I've downloaded the 9/6 iPod software update. My iTunes preferences are set to automatic update. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with iTunes 5. I tried to get the iPod updater 2005-9-06, but it didn't do anything to my iPod. And songs I had purchased from the iTunes music store wouldn't load onto my iPod because my "iPod software was too old."
So I tried this and it worked:
I found the iPod updater 2005-6-26 in my utilities folder and clicked on it. It gave me the option of updating my G3 iPod to the 2.3 version. I did that then in iTunes I changed the iPod preference back to Automatically Update. It then loaded all the songs I had purchased in the iTunes music store onto my iPod.
I hope this helps. -
Hello:
I just got a ipod nano, installed everything but the problem is when you update the ipod. itunes starts moving the songs but when it gets to a particularly song it stops and a error window appear: unknown mistake (-69).

When I tried to update my ipod touch, there was a problem and i don't get to restaure the softwere
I was updating my ipod touch 64gb with the new operation softwere, there was a problem, and the itunes message showed that I had to restaure. When I try to restaure the follow message appear '' The apple site is not available" I tried to use the existent procedures without sucess. What sould I do?
If the message said can not contact the update server:
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise I do not understand the problem. -
Problem while updating my iPod to version 2.2!
Hi!
I have a first generation iPod touch 16 GB, with software version 1.1.5 it is completely legal, no jailbreaking el.
Bought me an update to version 2.2, but then I got some problems..
When I should install the new update, iTunes starts to take backup of my iPod, etc., and then it stands "Preparing iPod for re-creation" (translated from norwegian! =) )
During this time, it appears a message that new hardware is found, and then Windows can not find the right drivers for the hardware,
and in Device Manager, I get two question-marks under "Other devices" as both called "USB Device"
Later it comes an error message in iTunes; "iPod could not be recovered. There was an unknown error (1604)."
I guess that the reason for the update is craching is that I can not find drivers for these two "Other devices"
Does anyone know which drivers i need/what i need to do to update my iPod?
Not fun to pay for something that does not work =/Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
- Try placing the iPiod in Recovery Mode
- Let the battery fully drain, after charging fro at least an hour try the above again. -
i have a big problem why is it i cant update my ipod touch 2g into ios 4! im using the latest version of itunes and everytime i click "update" it stucks on the "contacting server" please help i want to update it now

My music will not sync to my ipod it only says revert and I cant open or play music i purchase on itunes. This problem occured when i updated my ipod.
ThanksI also have a 4G ipod touch and a similar problem. Since I updated to the ios5 software any new songs I add to my iTunes don't sync to my ipod main playlist. They show up in the 'recently added' playlist, but not in the main 'songs' section. I fixed the problem once by restoring to factory settings and rather than reinstalling from a backup, I created a new ipod name and synced everything onto my ipod as if it was new.
This worked until the next new song I added and then the same problem started all over again. If you do reinstall everything as new, you may want to take a screen shot of where all your apps are and make sure all your photos etc are saved, as everything will be from scratch. Hope this helps! -

what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?
Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution. -

Updating 5G iPod in iTunes problems!
I want to change my iPod settings in iTunes 7.0 so that it will only sync unwatched movies, however when I click the "apply" button, I just get a "Waiting for iPod" dialog box and then after about 30 secs I get an error saying "iPod could not be updated because those settings could not be found" Whats wrong? My iPod has the latest firmware verson (1.2)
Oh, if I try to update my iPod using the work computer, it recognizes the fact that it was updated on a different machine and wants to wipe it out and start over.
I can't solve your other problems but for this one i would advise you to set your ipod to manually update songs. that way your other computer won't bother you with messages to wipe clean your ipod and you can update it with new content on both computers. Hope this helps. -

Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.
Hello all,
I've been having a problem with my ipod 3rd gen updating in much the same way as many in this forum have throughout a number of topic threads.
PROBLEM:
During song/playlist/content (not software update or restore) updating function one of two things would happen:
- update would freeze at some point of the transfer (5, 74, 687 songs in to the update) and I would have to force quite itunes and, not being able to dismount the ipod through recommended procedure, I would physically dismount the ipod and receive a scolding for improper dismounting of device.
- system would crash at some point of the transfer yielding the shaded screen and a prompt to restart the computer by depressing the front panel button for two seconds.
In each of the above cases, no matter how many songs that itunes thought it had transferred, I would only have about a dozen songs on the ipod itself, perhaps indicating a bottleneck on the G4 end of the transfer.
DEADENDS FOR ME THAT MAY STILL SOLVE PROBLEM FOR SOME:
- swaping out cables
- ipod software restore or restore to earlier version
SOLUTION:
After contacting Apple support, I was led to the opinion that the problem was with the firewire port itself. This was confirmed by attaching my ipod with my cable to a roomates G5 resulting in a faultless transfer of his song library. I was ready to go out and purchase a new firewire PCI card but decided to research firewire problems in the G4 folder of Discussions. This is where I found the fix to my problem (see links at bottom of document). It would seem that Mac ports, both firewire and USB, have a tendency to bog down after awhile and need to be reset. This can be a addressed by one of three possible solutions. The first and easiest was the solution that worked for me (for other solutions please follow links at bottom of page):
- powered down and disconnected all firewire and USB cables from the G4
- disconnected power cable from G4 (for laptops I would guess that the battery would need to be removed, not sure if that causes any other problems though, please research)and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- reconnected all cables and restarted computer. Ports should be reset at that point
- I took the added measure to restart my computer once with nothing attached to USB and firewire ports and then powering down with front panel button before connecting cables and proceding with final restart.
RESULT:
Faultless transfer of 37.6 gigs of content in less that 45 minutes.

Good Luck
GKEThis worked perfectly for me!!!
SOMEBODY PLEASE TAG THIS POST!!!
i have had the problem that everyone has posted about (i.e. - updated iTunes/iPod software and had the update/freeze problem, tried all solutions, to no avail, and was pretty much screwed.)
JUST DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS TO DO (powermac g5, by the way):
1) power down the computer
2) unplug EVERYTHING (usb, firewire, power, monitor, etc.)
3) leave unplugged for 30 minutes
4) plug power back in
5) power up from main power button
6) wait for computer to start back up, then shut down from power button
7) plug everything back in and power up
8) restart once more for good measure
9) update your ipod
10) take a sigh of relief!
you are seriously a godsend...only one thing...I BOUGHT A NEW ONE ALREADY!!! i literally bought it the day that you posted this solution. After a month and a half of trying to fix this problem, i finally gave up and bought a 20GB iPod Photo with applecare...cost me about $380.
no matter, i think i'm gonna sell my "older" ipod to my mom or dad. they'll use it doing whatever they do. plus, that way, if there's any problem, i can fix it for them without feeling bad about screwing over some stranger.
thanks again, this solution worked perfectly. -
