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.

GTKPOD(1)							   gtkpod Manual							 GTKPOD(1)

NAME

       gtkpod - GTK2 based software for managing songs and playlists on an Apple iPod

SYNOPSIS

       gtkpod [-h] [-m path] [-p filename] [--hash filename]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly describes the gtkpod command.

OPTIONS

       gtkpod supports the following options:

       -h, --help
	   Displays the help message.

       -m, --mountpoint path
	   Define the mountpoint of your iPod.

       -p filename
	   Increment playcount for file filename by one.

       --hash filename
	   Print gtkpod hash for file filename.

FILES

       ~/.gtkpod/prefs
	   Per user configuration file. Should normally only updated through the program itself.

       /etc/gtkpod/prefs
	   Global configuration file. Used if no configuration file exist for the user starting gtkpod.

       ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.in
	   If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it at startup This is done before attempting to mount the iPod directory (optional) or
	   read the iTunesDB (optional).

       ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.out
	   If this file exists, gtkpod will try to execute it while exiting the program. This is done after attempting to unmount the iPod
	   directory (optional) and sending the "eject" command to the iPod (optional).

       /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.in, /etc/gtkpod/gtkpod.out
	   Used instead of the per user scripts if the former ones don't exist and these do.

       ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.load
	   If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it before loading the contents of an iPod with the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line
	   argument. Put any commands needed to access the iPod here, for example if you need to mount the iPod manually.

       ~/.gtkpod/gtkpod.eject
	   If this file exists, gtkpod will execute it when ejecting an iPod with the the iPod's mountpoint as the only command line argument. Put
	   any commands you want to execute after gtkpod has written the changes to the iPod here.  For example:

	   sudo eject $1

	   gtkpod will not attempt to do any magic of it's own to mount/unmount/eject the iPod.
