Oh My Pod! – Episode 246 – Moisturized Hands are Happy Hands

 - by Peter

Those of you having trouble with your iPods

Issue or symptom

iTunes may display a message that it could not update iPod because the iPod software update was corrupt or not found.

Products affected

Solution

The message does not indicate that there is an issue with the iPod but that that iTunes was unable to read the iPod software update it uses to restore or update your iPod. You can delete the folder containing the iPod software update files so iTunes can download a new copy of the iPod software update.

Here are the steps to take if you get this message:

  1. Eject iPod and quit iTunes.
  2. Use Disk Utility in Mac OS X or run

    chkdsk

    in Windows to verify there are no other issues on your hard drive.
  3. Locate the iPod Software Updates folder:
    • In Mac OS X, the folder is
      /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
    • In Windows Vista, the folder is
      C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    • In Windows XP and Windows 2000, the folder is
      C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

      1. Windows Vista: Open Computer and choose Folder and Search Options from the Organize menu.Windows XP and 2000: Open My Computer and click Folder Options from the Tools menu.
      2. Click the View tab.
      3. In the Advanced Settings pane, select the “Show hidden files and folders” button.
      4. Click OK.


      • Note      : If you don’t see the files in Windows, turn on the Show hidden files option.

  4. Drag the iPod Software Updates folder to the Trash or Recycle Bin.
  5. Connect iPod and open iTunes. You will need to be connected to the Internet to download the files.

Additional information

The actual error message may look like this:

The iPod “John’s iPod” could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.

or

The iPod “iPod” could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.
