Every time i try and update my ipod touch 4th gen. it satrts to back it up and then more than an hour later it hasnt moved and their is no show of progress. my computer and itunes are up to date. please help.

/

Well, the problem isn't the back up because I already have a backup saved that I can restore from, I honestly don't know how, but I do, and it has all my apps. The problem is restoring it. I keep getting the "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "King". A duplicate file name was specified. With my 3G iPod touch, I did not have it named as "King". I had it as another name. I don't know if that helps, but as I said before, Backup-wise I'm okay for now. Restore-wise I'm not.
NOTE: Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help.

  • Every time i try to update my iPod touch 4, it downloads the update and gives an error before installation

    I have been trying to update my iPod touch 4 for a while now; however, after downloading the update the computer shows an error and itunes hangs. Can anyone provide a solution?

    This should work:
    Run notepad as Administrator
    Browse here to find the host file:
    C/windows/system32/drivers/etc
    Add this line at the end of the file:
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Save the file
    Restart iTunes

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch, iTunes freezes?

    Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch (5th generation), iTunes freezes. It starts syncing for a few seconds, slows down, stops, then iTunes becomes unresponsive. If I don't force quit it, after a few minutes, iTunes is fine, but my device still hasn't synced. Any solutions/suggestions?

  • I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

    I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

    This was the scenario:
    The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
    When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
    When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
    Now I got back everything except for my photos.
    (Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
    Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
    Thank you.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
