I plug it in, iTunes 7 recognises it and tells me to download and install, i do... my current firmware is 1.2, want to upgrade to 1.4.1... somehow when it is trying to install my ipod mini doesn't show the "do not disconnect" anymore and it is still "upgrading" 30 minutes later... What do I do? It can't upgrade

hi
can i please ask y u want to upgrade it

I think this is a known issue with itunes 7? Pretty sure other people are experiencing it to. As for hwo to fix it...can't offer any help atm

Apparently anyone who updates their iPod firmware needs to plug the iPod into a power socket via the power adapter (it's a massive scheme to get people to buy more of their products). Until you plug it into the power, it will not work. Total BS if you ask me, but it's what they have done.

ok i no its crap but the ipod needs lots of power to flash the firumwear thats y u need the adapter

it's not "to get you to buy more of their products" as it came with the mini

Update: I tried to usb, update, while it says it's updating even though it isn't i plug it into power... doesn't work

so is the ipod stuck on the update screen

no, itunes is... ipod does nothing, i can use it as normal
Actually, i want to tweak it with ipodwizard(my warranty card is lost and i am way past the warranty period anyway so)... Where can I find the ipod_update_2006_thingymajig for it?

The AC power adapter doesn't come with the iPod, it's an accessory that you have to buy seperately.

The old updater is still around somewhere... here www.apple.com/support/do...8forwindows.html

ok so the ipod works u just cant get itunes to read it and update it?

and i dont think ur going to hav much luck finding the ipod updater anymore cos apple hav taken it off there website
