When updating my ipod...HELP!!!!!

I have many songs on my iTunes but they're taking up space on my computer, if i delete them, will those songs also delete from my ipod when i update it? Am i stuck with all those songs on my computer?

You can delete them if you first set your iPod up for manual updating. However remember that if you delete them from your computer and subsequently you have problems with your iPod you will not have a backup. See this tutorial in managing your music manually: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

When updating my ipod touch, it crashed.

When I tried to update my iPod touch today, it crashed in the middle of it somewhere (there is a backup file of at least part of it). It told me I would need to Restore. Restore failed ... so I went to support and followed all the instructions. Updated computer software (twice), disconnected all USB, restarted computer and iPod more than once, tried a different USB port ....
My computer (iTunes) does not recognize that my iPod is plugged in. My iPod has only one screen ... picture to plug into iTunes.
Not concerned about losing any data at this point ... just want my iPod back.
What can I do?

If you have tried all of the steps mentioned in support pages then there is nothing you can do except send it back to apple, why they wont acknowledge this as a now very common error I dont know but it is, I got my first Ipod on Sunday just gone plugged it in bang same error you have and none of the advice helps, it just wastes your time...Get on to apple and send it back for repair

Adobe Bridge CS4 pops error when Update Option from Help is launched

Hi All,
when i m trying to Launch the Update from the help menu of Adobe Bridge it pops-up with a error messge instead of launching update.
The error says
Adobe Bridge
Bridge is not in a position to check for updates.
The cause of the error may lie in the fact that an Internet connection can be established or that you are logged in as a user without administrator privileges.
Ok
Please help what is the probable cause for this.
I have tried disabling the updateoption by
1) Adding the Enterprise DWORD value in registry HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater
2) Adding the "Update" "Suppress" value in "Application.XML.Override" file while installing the CS4 Suite
I am using Vista Build is the behavioural diff seen on XP n Vista
Thank You

Hey
Apologies I dont think I had made myself clear.
I am trying to package Adobe Photoshop CS4 which has Adobe Bridge as a component. As per the company standards, I am suppossed to be deploying this package & installing it using silent setup. Since this is a corporate environment, they do not want any auto updates to be enabled, as well as disable all menu items related to updates. Hence I had checked through the Adobe Support Site and followed the instructions provided by using the Adobe Deployment Toolkit and supressed the updates using the tool.
Inspite of following the steps mentioned in the Deployment Kit and the guides associated with it, I was unable to supress the Updates options that reflects under Help Menu for Adobe Bridge CS4. All the other associated programs like photoshop, Extend Scripts etc the updates are disabled. The problem seems to be only with the Adobe Bridge Update.
I have also tried disabling the update option by
1) Adding the Enterprise DWORD value in registry HKLM\Software\Adobe\Updater
2) Adding the "Update" "Suppress" value in "Application.XML.Override" file while installing the CS4 Suite
Inspite of trying the above steps the update option in the menu is still enabled and when I click on the updates menu item I get the following error message.
Adobe Bridge
Bridge is not in a position to check for updates.
The cause of the error may lie in the fact that an Internet connection can be established or that you are logged in as a user without administrator privileges.
Ok
Please advise,

Error message when updating 30GB ipod

I keep getting this error message telling me my ipod was unable to update, whenever I attempt to update my ipod, then it crashes and I'm forced to restore. Why might this be, and is there some sort of 'soft restore patch' that might be available from Apple so I don't have to keep on erasing my music?

Weird message when updating my ipod.

I'm getting the following message when I try to update my ipod.
"The ipod "xxxxxxx" cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found.
I did uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I installed the ipod updater. I restored my ipod and I'm still getting the same message.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

well done sp1nnaker!
(toonz taught me that trick. yay toonz!)
the photo cache is created automatically. usually it's no problem at all, except on the rare occasions when it gets damaged. then you can get this error, or occasionally this one:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
so unless you run into a corruption issue again, you shouldn't be caused much grief by it.

Itunes update and automatic update of ipod help needed

i just upgraded to the newest version of itunes (6.4?), and i deleted some songs out of my library and it gave me a message to the effect that next those files would be removed from my ipod next time i connected it.
i know in the previous version of itunes that i had, i had shut off the option that automatically updates your ipod when you plug it in, so i tried to find that option on here and was unable to, i think it might show up after i plug in my ipod, but obviously i dont want to plug in my ipod until i know it isnt going to get erased, anyone know if i can connect my ipod safely of if i need to change something, and if i need to change something where i would find that control. thanks in advance for any help

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
If at any stage iTunes brings up a dialogue window asking whether you want to replace the songs on your iPod with the songs in iTunes, press *No*.

Serious Windows Crash when updating 5G iPod

About halfway through updating the videos on my 5th gen iPod, windows displays a blue screen saying: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your system". Then my computer turns off. When I plug my iPod in again, there is a lot less space available then when i plugged it in the first time, so clearly the videos ARE being copied. However, I cannot access them from my iPod. Also, the space getting used up is catergorized as 'other', rather than 'videos' in the iPod bar at the bottom of iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there any way to fix it??

hi Ellent!
hmmm. if you're getting that error message under those circumstances, let's try getting a crash log to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence to the Apple engineers, so they can have a look at it.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
plug the ipod in, collect the crash log, and send it to a discussions host
in the email:
(1) let them know the precise version number of itunes that you're using. (go into your "Help > About iTunes" to doublecheck.)
(2) let them know the precise version of the ipod updater you're using.
(3) include the URL to this thread so that whoever gets the email has some context, but also explicitly mention that you're getting this when you plug in the ipod.

Itunes freezes when updating my ipod

I have just reinstalled vista and itunes due to a failed hard disk.
I imported all my music into itunes and restored my ipod to factory settings. However, when I plug in my ipod (30 gig model), itunes start syncing, but after a minute or so the moving circle next to 'Phil's Ipod' on the left stops moving and itunes appears to have stopped working, although, the Task Manager says it is working.
What is wrong? Pleas help, as I can not stand an empty ipod!

I don't know why it happens, but it happens to me too.
What you should do to get it to work is hold menu and the circle button on your iPod at the same time to reset it, not completely ;D, so it works again. =D
