  • I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple.  So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
    Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • My car stereo, an Alpine CDE-121, won't recognize my iPod mini.  I get an Error 02 message indicating that I need to update the iPod's software, but iTunes tells me that the software is updated.

    Is this particular car stereo stated as being compatible with your iPod Mini?  If you aren't sure, check the manufacturer's support site or give the car stereo manufacturer a call.

  • ITunes starts to update the iPod then locks up

    I have a 15GB iPod which was suffering with the chkdsk error, i updated the iTunes software, the iPod software and eventually restored the iPod to its factory settings. When connected I can see the iPod in my computer, in the device manager and in iTunes. Yet when I try and update any songs from iTunes it starts then locks the computer.
    Sometimes an error message about the drive being open and a disk needs inserting will appear but eveything has locked up by this stage.
    I cannot understand why all the drives and messages in device manager look okay but as soon as i try and use them they lock up.
    I have tried changing the drive letter for the iPod to no avail.
    Any ideas anybody

    Hi there David,
    You might like to refer to some of the latter more advanced troubleshooting steps in my Chkdsk Compendium:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=361771
    in particular - you say you've already tried changing the drive letter - how about modifying the hardware policies perhaps - details close to the end of my thread.
    Do let us know how you get on...
    Kind regards,
    Gopha.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

    My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

    how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

  • Is it safe to update the iPod?

    iTunes is telling me to update the iPod. Is it safe?

    Marisa,
    First off, you'll probably get varying replies as for opinions in this matter, of course, but here's mine, which isn't exactly on one side or the other.
    Generally speaking, 1.2.1 is a fairly safe update, and it tends to solve more problems than it does make new ones, as I've seen.
    This 1.2.1 update, though, was basically for the bugs and errors in the previous 1.2 firmware, which certainly brought on new issues, so 1.2.1 would be good for users with 1.2 problems.
    If you've been running on 1.2 all this time and iTunes wants you to upgrade to 1.2.1, you're iPod will most likely do just fine, since it doesn't seem that 1.2.1 has any new problems that 1.2 didn't already have.
    If you've been running on 1.1.2 all this time, though (without issues), you have a higher chance at getting new issues with 1.2.1, which would mostly just be some remaining bugs from 1.2 that the latest upgrade didn't fix.
    The way I look at it is, if you haven't been having any issues with the iPod on the 1.1.2 firmware, though, it might be better to go ahead and not update to this latest 1.2.1, since there wouldn't exactly be a reason, bug-wise, to upgrade the iPod to this latest firmware.
    We're probably seeing only just a tiny portion of iPod owners on the Discussions with this latest update, though, so it is most likely not a commonly problematic upgrade in that sense at all, although from 1.1.2 to 1.2.1 could bring on problems that 1.2 already simply had.
    I hope all that made sense.
    Good luck!

  • HT1222 My Ipod needs an update but I don't have internet service on my computer so is it possible to send the update to the email  to update the ipod system through the Ipod with wi-fi?

    my ipod needs an update but i don't have internet service on my computer i was wondering is it posible to send the update to the email to update the ipod system through Wi-Fi?

    If your iPod touch is already running iOS 5 then you should be able to upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 on the device with a Wi-Fi connection.

  • How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows

    Hi all.
    The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
    I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
    If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
    Thank you!

    I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.
