I am trying to manually update my iPod 3rd G to IOS5 but when I update it has error 3002, and when I restore it has error 3194

I'm using windows Vista and i have a very bad internet connection that makes it impossible to download the update as my internet disconnects almost every 3 minutes and if the 634 MB update stops at any point it restarts, I have been trying since IOs 5 was released so I manually dowloaded it from the link on this site
http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/ios5-ipsw-direct-download-links.html
I have allready tried every suggestion I could find online, I have changed the Hosts file to include #74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com and checked there is nothing else there that shouldn't be there. I have tried using TinyUmbrella with the correct advanced settings and i have tried restoring it in DFU mode none of it has workes it always extracts teh files then says there is an unknown error.
Can anyone tell me if theres something I''ve missed because i'm getting very tired of this as I've been trying to update to IOS5 for months and every time I fix a problem theres a new one to deal with.

Two possible reasons why you can't update:
Are you sure you have a 3rd gen and not a 2nd? Go to Settings > General > About > Serial Number to get your serial number, then enter it here: http://support.apple.com/specs/
Has your iPod ever been jailbroken?

I just bought a refurbished Ipod 3rd generation 8 gigs, but when I enter the serial number into Apple's site, it shows up as a 2nd generation. Is this normal?

I bought a refurbished Ipod touch, 3rd gen(link: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC086LL/A?mco=MjI4NjY2MTE)
The home button broke on me, so while setting up servicing for it, when I entered the serial number into the Apple site, my supposedly "3rd gen" Ipod showed up as a 2nd gen. Is this normal? And if not, what can I do about it?

There are no 3rd gen 8GB models. They did not make them.

Firefox stopped updating a while ago for unknown reason;now stuck at v 2.0.0.20-- trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.

Firefox stopped updating a while (couple of years) ago for some unknown reason. The button is checked for automatic updates. It was a while before I noticed, so now I've been stuck at v 2.0.0.20 for some time, and trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.
No update available will work, since I missed some. I can't even see what most of the buttons are on these pages of your site. Do I need to reinstall Firefox, as some people have suggested to me, and if so, how do I go about doing that? I'm not particularly computer program savvy.
Thanks,
Taav

Which version of Mac OS are you running?<br />
Is that a OS X 10.2 or 10.3 version?<br />
The last Firefox version that works on OS X 10.2 and 10.3 is 2.0.0.20.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.28/system-requirements/
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.8 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox.

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

If iTunes purchases then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you will have to get them from where you originally obtained them

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. How can I delete it??

Hi all, I'm trying to download a film from iTunes onto my iPad but downloaded the HD version instead of SD and don't have the room to download it. Have removed everything I can to make space but still need another 1.2 GB. Is there any way I can delete it so I can delete the version I wanted, or even better change to the SD version? The film is still queuing in the downloads list. I've tried edit and delete but that doesn't work. I also can't re-download the film from iTunes.
Any suggestions very welcome!

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Try exporting a Master File with settings of Web Hosting and H.264. If it exports successfully, see if a manual upload works.

I am trying to set an open DNS using the MacAir. But when I tried to flush the existing one at utilities/terminal, it will not work. I am using Yosemite. May I know what should be the command line so that I can shift to an open DNS? Thanks

Try using a different brand of DVD's.

Hello Apple community... I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents.

I am trying to combine multiple pdf's into one, using preview, but when I drag the additional pages they show up as separate documents. When I drag the doc in a line would show up in the past, and if I went above th eline all was good. It doesn't have a line, and no matter what I try I am having no success.
Please help!

According to an Apple Support article, unless there are unforeseen issues
in file ownership or permissions, the combining of .PDFs should be simple.
•OS X: Combining PDF documents using Preview - Apple Support
There are a few variable and similar methods, some change with version
of OS X in use; some vintage OS X may vary a little in the process...
A variety of similar topics appear in search results, with terms:
" mac os x combine pdf into one " such as this page shows...
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mac%20os%20x%20combine%20pdf%20into%20one
If the system is older than Mavericks there may be other methods to try.
