What did iPod shuffle update do?

After updated to 10.4.10, I was checking out
everything and decided to sync my shuffle with some
new tunes. I got an update alert. It downloaded and
installed fine but all it said was this included "bug
fixes." Any idea what those might be?
I notice that when EJECTed from iTunes but NOT removed from the dock the shuffle instantly displays green LED (IF it was mostly charged AND was blinking orange ...) That's totally different from 1.0.2. Luckily, 1.0.3 doesn't screw up the automatic PAUSE when earphones are removed while in PLAY, which happened with 1st Gen shuffle 1.1.5 update

What did the EFI update do?

Exactly what did the update do? It said it fixed start up, and wake from sleep problems.
I'm wondering if it fixed my problem, or if I still have to re-install OSX.
I called apple care a few days ago, they said that my hard drive wasn't mounting correctly, and thats what gave me the folder with question mark when I had to restart my MBP because a freeze.
Does anyone know if the update will help me there? Or if I should just go ahead and re-install OSX? I would prefer not to re-install OSX, because I dont want to have to re-install all the updates, FCE, and replace all my files that I have backed up on my Ipod right now.

The mounting problem could be a problem with the operating system.
When you start your computer and it goes through a list of things to do as it starts up. Somewhere along the line your computer has turned on the harddrive and has said hello only to find that the software on the harddrive isn't saying hi back.
The guy on the phone thinks that by reinstalling the operating system on the harddrive you will fix the communication problem that is occuring between the computer and harddrive. I agree with him. By reinstalling the operating system you will find the problem should go away. Otherwaise if it doesn't you may need to call Apple Care and tell them your problem and what you have done so far to fix it. They will most likely replace the Harddrive which shouldn't take them too much time.
This is a very simple and not completely correct way of explaining what may be / may not be happening with your harddrive.

Ipod shuffle update problems

I have an original ipod shuffle which has never given any problems. However, now that I have upgraded to the latest version of itunes I have problems updating the shuffle. On most occasions I get an error message saying the ipod cannot update because it cannot find the correct disc. Has anyone else had this problem and what can be done about it?

You are likely to get more help if you post in the correct forum, which is here.

Unable to install voiceover, get ipod shuffle update

I'm unable to install Voiceover for my ipod shuffle 4g. When I check the "Enable VoiceOver" box and hit the apply button, I get an error message saying that "You have chosen not to contact the ipod software update server."
Interestingly, I'm also unable to use the update or restore buttons on the same page with my Shuffle. When I use either of those buttons, a dialogue box opens as though I were opening a file.

Sounds like you have some kind of firewall software or something preventing you from connecting to the update servers. Are you running any virus software or other software that blocks internet traffic on your computer? Little snitch does that, but you would know if it is on your system.

How do I know what generation iPod shuffle I have

I cannot tell what generation my iPod shuffle is. How can I find out?

This document shows the four types of shuffles
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
The 1st and 2nd gen look different but work similarly. The 3rd and 4th gen work similarly, but are different in functionality and operation from the earlier shuffles.

What did the forced update for iPod touch 2g(A1288) achieve/do to my ipod?

help would be appreciated, Sim

The fact is that the App you want, CSR Racing, requires a 3rd generation Touch. That is stated in the Requirements for the App. So it will not run or install on your 2nd generation Touch, regardless of any updates that you eventually install.
The update (which was not "forced" at all) was probably designed to fix bugs and improve performance. That update came out some time ago (even though you have only just updated, as deduced from your other post) and frankly, I for one, have forgotten exactly what it did.
Perhaps you should spend some time reading therough various posts in these discussions to understand the what, why and limitations of the update instead of posting a new question after Illaass has answered you in your other post.

Whats fixed with iPod Shuffle update v1.1.2???

I have looked everywhere... and there is no specific detail of the fixes...
it just says they have fixed a number of bugs!
And i would be MUCH better if the iPod update was smaller in size (maybe if they were seperate downloads for Shuffle, nano, etc)... to reduce the size... the update is 45mb... and i have a dialup connection... u can imagine how long its gonna take to download!!!!

I hope they fixed all the errors people get with the Shuffle!
I for one was listening to a song (Kevin Lyttle - Turn me on) and then suddenly Orange LED starts blinking, and on the back the battery LED is blinking RED...
the thing is it was FULLY CHARGED!
so i switched it off for afew secs and turned it back on... and it was working.
Another problem i had was sometimes it would just stop playing half way thru the track.
Plus all the errors i get when connecting it to my PC... i mean its too much.... it ejects itself ten times at least during charging or uploading songs!

What does Ipod softwear update server could not be contacted mean?

I have tried to restore my 1st gen. ipod when it tells me to connect to itunes, and message comes up on my computer that says ipod update server could not be contacted. help me!

Hi,
Is your computer on the internet while you are trying to make the connection?
If it is you will have to look at what may be blocking the connection ie. AV/firewalls.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

What did iMovie/iDVD Update fixed for you?

Please share your happy endings from the recent iLife Update:

I have had the update since Saturday. I get much longer connection times to the 4g. It also switches off a little better. I still have issues with it dropping the signal as soon as I start a phone call and try to send a txt message. So I went to the store today and a Tech told me it was a sim card issue. So he changed the sim card and said your all set. I walk out of the store try to make a call........no signal. 10 feet outside the store. I walk right back in and show him no signal. He changes it again and said it must have just had luck of getting two bad sim cards in a row. So I get another one. Leave the store and about 10 minutes into a phone call it happens again. I am going to give this another day or two and if I have to go back in I am going to demand a droid maxx. I am over this ipod touch trying to disguise itself as a phone. Oh yea he also told me I should just leave the phone on 3g most of the time and only change it back if I need to download or stream something. If that is the case why even have 4g at all?

What did Apple Software Update do with my Mail??

I can't open my Mail application version 4.5
I downloaded the recommended Software Update sent to me from Apple on my MacAir
The following message flashes when I attempt to open my Mail
"You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OSX"
I tried the suggestions from Apple - still no Mail

My guess is that Mail was included with OS X version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard from 2010) also.
Here are two downloads that might help:
1. OS X Version 10.6.8 supplmental update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
2. Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586

INsufficient storeage space on IPOD shuffle

My new 1 GB IPOD shuffle seems to run out of storeage space after about 50 songs. It is supposed to store approx. 240 songs.
An error is posted on my computer and everything freezes.
It almost seems that I did not get 1 GB worth of memory.
Help???

Are you doing some math & figuring you have 3.60 MB
left so that is 30 minutes?
well, assuming that i have 240 songs on my ipod and each are actually 4 minutes long, that would mean that i have 960 minutes worth of songs. 960 minutes is 16 hours, so that means, 1 GB - which is what the ipod shuffle can only hold/have - is 16 hours. i've already added all of my music (of my choice) on my ipod and my music list is 15.5 hours. so, if there is 16 hours total on a 1 GB of space, that means i have 30 minutes left of non-music.
i've already figured out my problem. all i wanted to know why there is already 3.60 MB (but now that i think about it, you are right that it's something like 3 minutes and something seconds...i actually made a typo...it was 366 MB (no decimal point, i thought i saw one), my bad!) being used by an unknown/"other" file and how to delete it if at all possible. that's my bad for not being clear.

IPod shuffle and nano

Can I use my friends iPod shuffle charger with my iPod nano? He says it works with all iPods and his phone (not an iPhone) too but I just want to make sure before I break my nano.

If by "charger," you mean the part (a power adapter) that plugs into the wall outlet (NOT the cable), it should work fine with your iPod nano's USB docking cable. iPod shuffles did not come with any power adapter, so I'm not sure what an "iPod shuffle charger" is.
Do NOT plug an iPod shuffle USB cable into the iPod nano's headphone jack. The iPod nano charges (and syncs) through the dock connector, not the headphone jack.
If you friend has something like this
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/C
you can plug your USB docking cable into it and charge your iPod nano. But to repeat, do NOT use the shuffle's USB cable with an iPod nano.

Audiobooks and Ipod Shuffle

I seem unable to get an audiobook purchased from I-Tunes onto my Ipod Shuffle without corrupting it. It's fine with music, but as soon as I try to put an audio book on it, it freezes and I get the dreaded green and amber lights. I am now on my 3rd Ipod Shuffle in as many months as the previous two both failed when I transferred an audio book onto them. Restore, Restart, Ipod Shuffle update do not work. Can the shuffle take mixed Content ? What is the foolproof way to transfer an audiobook from I-Tunes onto the Shuffle ?

Had the same problem...
After transferring the tracks from OneClickDigital, a new playlist showed up on the Shuffle when viewed from iTunes. The playlist showed the individual titles, however if I viewed the contents of the iPod from "Music" or "Books" they would never appear. To resolve the issue, I selected all of the songs in that playlist and dragged them over to where the shuffle appears in the sidebar. After this, the tracks appeared in the iPod library (not just in that playlist created by OneClickDigital) and when I plugged in headphones everything worked like it should.
Hope that helps.
