Help with the ios 5 Update on my 4th Gen iPod.

For whatever reason, everytime I ATTEMPT to download the latest update on my iPod, it takes a good 7 minutes to download and then...
"You network connection has timed out"
And I'm pretty darn confused. So, is there anyway that you can explain to me what that means, and how I fix it?
Please?
Oh, and it also won't let me restore it.
Thank You.

If you cannot wait:
download the iOS5.0.1 file directly to your PC (~700MB), if that works better, connect the iPhone and Alt+click on the "Update" button, choose the newly downloaded file.
If you cannot wait at all, do the update on the iPhone itself (~38MB), but you still have to download the iOS full file to your PC, otherwise it will not be there when one time you need to restore: copy it to
for XP:
Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
for W7:
Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
You throw awy the downloaded when after a time you are sure that everything is OK and the full iOS stays in the Updates folder.

  • Is there something wrong with the IOS 6 update?

    Ever since I downloaded the iTunes IOS 6 update on my 2nd-gen iPad, I haven't been able to check my list of purchased apps in the purchased section the iTunes store app. I tried logging out & signing back in and I tried rebooting my iPad, but neither of them worked. Can you please fix the IOS update? Thanks if you and keep up the incredible work!

    Never mind, there's definitely something wrong with the IOS 6 update. Sometimes the App Store doesn't show that an app has been purchased & it only shows the price of the app. Other times, it doesn't show that an app is currently being downloaded or that it's installed.
    Still though, Apple, you really do need to fix this IOS 6 because the Purchased Apps section won't finish loading & display the ones that have been purchased. Also, you need to improve the App & iTunes gift card payment method because if you use a credit card & then switch back to gift card, it doesn't remember how much leftover money you had before & you can't combine the change from the previously-used ones together into one lump of money.
    32 cents isn't enough to buy anything, not even a $0.99 app. The money is going by without being used and its a waste of money! If it's possible, please fix these two problems. Thanks if you do & keep up the incredible work!!!!!

  • I'm thinking about getting an i pod touch for my daughter. If I get the 4th generation i pod, is it compatible with the ios 7 updates for i phones as far as if she wants to imessage or face time with me?

    The 4G can not run IOS-7.  "6" is the highest that it can go.  You need the 5G for IOS-7.
    However, that won't affect her ability to use iMessage and FaceTime.

  • It says with the ios 5 update it would restore my iPhone?

    It says with the ios 5 update it would restore my iPhone?

    Yes. And it then re-synchs everything back.  You would have been wise to have backed it up first, just in case something went wrong.

  • On my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes

    on my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes? I'm getting crazy.

    its asking you to verify your Cloud account and you should do so.
    You can either do so by answering your own secret questions or asking for email to be sent to you which gives link to reset password.
    Has to be 8 characters minimum and at least one Upper case and One lower case letter with one numeral
    Hope this helps

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why has the texting "dictation" (microphone symbol) feature gone with the iOS 7 update?

    I have noticed that the dication feature (microphone symbol) is no longer  avaiable with the iOS update on iphone 4S?  does anybody know why?

    It is most definitely still available. Have you checked to make sure that Siri is still turned on? Settings>General>Siri? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • How do I fix the sound on my brand new 4th gen iPod touch?

    I recently ordered a refurbished 4th gen iPod touch and it arrived today. Everything seems to be working fine except the sound. I'll play a song or video and the sound will either come on for a couple seconds sounding distorted, or not come on at all. I've already restarted the iPod a few times and am currently trying to restore it. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

    From speaker?
    From headphones?
    From both?
    Tried another pair of headphones?
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.
