Win 7- iTunes - iPod Touch update problems

I have a new, couple months new, ipod touch... I' currently running Win 7 home, 64bit, use FF and Chrome, ZA extreme.
Previously I've gone through two other Ipod touch on this computer, they were older and I couldn't rule out problems with either of them, but this one is not old. Itunes will want to update the ipod, when it does it kills it, gets an error 6 and can't repair it. I understand this is a tcp/ip error, but I took all steps to fix it. Also took down security briefly and to no avail. Finally I got my laptop up which is running XP with the same security and the same network, and updated it on that, no problem.
The laptop is on its way out, I really need to fix this problem before that happens. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be, or how I might go about figuring it out? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

I also did the Diagnostic test in the help menu and everything passed except the Internet connection but I can still go on the Itunes store and purchase items

  • IPod Touch Update Problems

    My iPod won't allow me to update to iOS 5, it is currently on 4.2.1. My iTunes is updated to the latest one but every time I press Check for Update it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version"
    The model of the iPod as it says in About is MC086ZP but on the back it says A1288. It is also 8GB if that matters.
    Is this the 3rd or 2nd Gen?
    Will I be able to get iMessage on this at all?

    You have a 2G iPod. Those can only go as high as 4.2.1.

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

  • How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

    How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch. 

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • My new computer freezes in my iPod Touch update (3.1.3)

    I was installing the new update for my 3rd generation ipod touch (update 3.1.3) and my computer that work with Windows 7 freezes. It was the new i7 processor that freezes and the only to debug my computher is to press the big button. After, I debug my iPod using the 2 buttons on my iPod pressing 10 seconds. When I plog my iPod on iTunes, it said that the ipod needs a restore and then install the update... but iTunes said that it was impossible. I think that iTunes said that it was the error 1604. Now, on my iPod screen, it said to plog my iPod to iTunes but my problem persist.
    Thank you to help me with my problem.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    do you have any firewall or anti virus software active during the restore process? If yes, disable it and try again to restore. Also make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • IPod Touch Update 1.1.1 - Unknown error occurred, Wiped my iPod

    I attempted the iPod Touch Update 1.1.1. The software downloaded completely, then the progress dialog appeared that it was preparing my iPod for the update. After a lengthy delay I received an error dialog saying that an unknown error had occurred(1602).
    After looking through my logs, the only relevant entry I can find is the following in iPodUpdater 3.log:
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: device connected (isDFU = 0)
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: error getting plugin interface for device: 0xe00002be
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: an erorr occurred handling a connected device: 0x7d1
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: _AMRecoveryModeDeviceFinalize: 0x14caa540
    This failure left that initial screen of the iPod plugin and iTunes symbol. I closed iTunes and relaunched it, as my iPod wasn't listed in the devices list. Upon relaunch, the iPod was detected but an error dialog appeared and said that my iPod was in a recovery state and had to be restored in order to work. So I restored my iPod and it updated it to 1.1.1.
    I have done nothing special to my iPod, I've only had it for a few days, but this update wiped my iPod clean. This is absolutely unacceptable for an update and I am very disappointed in Apple for this. They claim they are keeping the platform locked so things like this don't occur, but clearly it isn't helping.

    Mine upgraded from 1.1 flawlessly, but I was holding my breath...
    So far, I have never had a glitch like the one described here on my Ipods, but have read similar stories everywhere. This happens on Pocket PC PDAs as well.
    I've used my dubious firmware patching abilities to (as they say) brick a couple of things over the years, including a fairly nice Vaio. There was a time (after walking 10 miles through the snow, uphill both ways) that a failed firmware update meant that your computer was useful only as a doorstop if something went wrong.

  • New iPod Touch update deletes everything

    When installing new iPod Touch update, all songs and photos were deleted. Restore from back up you say? I tried, and iTunes said it was backing everything up before it installed the update but when it didn't, This isn't really a question, but Apple needs to fix this for future updates.

    The backup that iTunes makes does not include music, and other items like synced photos that are synced to the iPod.  If these items are not on the computer/iTunes library on the computer on which the update was performed, the items will not be on the iPod after the update.  The following lists what is included in the backup.

  • Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

    The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
    Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
    Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
    Other infomation that may assist in answers:
    -The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
    -All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
    -There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
    -The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
    -My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
    Thank you if you answered responsibily, and if you responded like a tool then I dislike you.

  • IPod Touch update to 3.0 firmware not working !!!

    So I connected my iTouch to iTunes, I clicked the option ''update to 3.0 software''...I download it and things seem to be stuck now...I can see on iTunes the message ''updating iPod software'' and it's been there for an hour already...on the iPod screen there's a grey bar wich showed the progress...it's full, but it also keeps staying there...nothing is moving on...everything is just blocked at the final stage !!! What the heck is going on ???

    Hi Eli,
    Can you download anything else from the iTunes Store? Try downloading something else, like a Free Single of the Week or free app.
    If you can't download anything from the iTunes store, try reconfiguring or temporarily disabling the security software on your PC.
    If you can download other items from the iTunes Store, try deleting the iPod software updates "~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates (The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.)" as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • ITunes Artwork Screensaver problem - linked to recent iPod Touch update?

    Ever since I updated my iPod Touch on Sunday I am having problems with the iTunes Artwork Screensaver. It will only work when I go into system preferences and actually set it up - by changing to another screensaver, then going back to the iTunes artwork screensaver, then adjusting the time, then 'testing' ...and then it will eventually work; but only on 'test'.
    When I let the computer just run the screensaver I get the message: "Your iTunes Library does not contain any artwork" - well it does, and by doing the process mentioned above it will work when I press 'test', otherwise it doesn't work.
    This is VERY frustrating - I've looked on the discussion boards and no one seems to have a firm solution - certainly the ones I've tried for the past 48 hrs haven't worked.
    Also the System Preferences seems to be not working correctly. I have to 'quit' the application completely, and then click on it - to start it up - in order to look at it again following the 'testing' of the iTunes Artwork screensaver.
    It was all working fine until I downloaded the update for the iPod Touch two days ago - Can anyone help?
    Thanks in anticipation
    PT

    I'm having the same problem. The itunes artwork screensaver quit working. I get the same message that my library contains no artwork. Any body else having the problem? Solutions anyone? Apple are you listening? It always worked until about a week ago.

  • Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

    Hi all!
    I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
    Background:
    For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
    The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
    For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
    The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
    Now the problems start:
    When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
    I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
    When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
    To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
    When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
    So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
    (nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
    Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
    Any ideas will be most welcome!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Peter
    P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

    Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
    What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
    I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
    Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

  • Can't update to latest iTunes, ipod touch not appearing in current iTunes but iPod classic is.  HALP!

    Hi there.
    This is driving me absolutely mad!
    I am not completely computer illeterate but I don't want to go poking around in any registry files and things like that as I would most likely break the Universe if I did.
    Basically, for some random reason a few months ago iTunes wanted me to download it's new version.  I said ok and it proceeded to do it's thing.  Then I heard the 'I'M BROKEN' sound that my laptop makes when something goes wrong or there is an error and it's saying that there is an error with something or other and it can't complete my request to update.
    After that I have not been able to connect my ipod touch 4th gen.  At all.  To anything.  I've tried downloading alternatives to iTunes to see if I could work around things that way but it seems my ipod won't connect to them either. 
    I've fiddled around with USB's, buying new ones, going into my computer and poking around in there to see if I can do something, all to no avail.
    Strange thing is, everything recognises my ipod classic.  Now yes, I could just use that but I want to use my touch! It cost enough, I might as well use it.  If I can't I'll sell it and I'll never buy anything from Apple again as it seems that if one thing goes wrong, there is no way around it.
    I have scoured these boards for answers.  I have followed pretty much every single solution that Apple can give via the FAQ's and troubleshooting things. 
    I have also tried connecting my touch to a friends computer and it is recognised there so it's an itunes or laptop problem and not the ipod.  It still connects as a camera, my USB drivers are up to date.  I've tried deleting and then reinstalling itunes and that doesn't work as it WON'T INSTALL. 
    I was thinking that perhaps formatting my ipod might help but there is no point as it's not the ipod that is the problem.
    If anyone wants me to screenshot the error message then I will be more than happy to do so.
    I just really want some help!
    Thanks to whoever reads this =D
