I take that back: apparently it did NOT install like it was supposed to.  The screen said the unplug the unit and it will finish installing, but when I did, it froze up.  It will power up again after about 15 minutes and looks like it is working, but now I’m getting that same “try again later” error message.  I checked the version on my screen and it still says 01.01.05. so I’m guessing nothing updated.

I would format it and then re-try updating the firmware. Note that formatting will erase all use-loaded content so you’ll have to re-transfer your music, but at this point it seems the least of your worries. Formatting will also optimize the memory.
