iTunes for Windows Vista: iTunes cannot contact the iPod or iPhone software update se
For help with contacting the iPod software update server or iPhone software update server for Windows XP or Windows 2000, see this article. Some customers may notice the following alert message when trying to update or restore an iPod in iTunes 7 or later: "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again." If restoring an iPhone, you may notice this alert message: "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again." Internet access is required to download iPod and iPhone software updates. However, if you are able to connect to the Internet with Internet Explorer and can also access the iTunes Store, see the solution below to resolve this issue.

scrobble-cli

SCROBBLE-CLI(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   SCROBBLE-CLI(1)

NAME

       scrobble-cli - a last.fm submitter for portable devices

SYNOPSIS

       scrobble-cli [options]

DESCRIPTION

       scrobble-cli is a program to submit information about tracks which have been listened to from a portable music player to last.fm
       (previously known as Audioscrobbler).  scrobble-cli can read this information from .scrobbler.log files (i.e. produced by the open Rockbox
       firmware), from iPod databases, or from devices that use MTP (aka Plays for Sure).  In addition to this, scrobble-cli can adjust the
       date/time information relating to when the track was listened to before uploading.  This can be useful if your device is set to a different
       timezone to the machine you upload from.

       below.
