I can't update my software. i keep getting a message that says " can't update software, connection reset by peer"

For two weeks now, everytime my computer tries to update the software (OS X etc) is says the update can't be installed and that the "connection has been reset by peer". Other software such as Adobe Reader updates fine. What does this mean?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

I have not been able to download previous purchases since the new update. I keep getting a message that says this computer is associated with an APPLEID and that I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID?? I only have ONE ID

I keep getting a message that says my computer is associated with an APPLE ID?? That I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID? I don't understand why it wont allow me to download previous purchases?? I never had this problem before the 10.5 update. I have emailed their help panel numerious times and they never do anything that remedies the problem?? I only have one computer and one ID I just dont understand what the problem is. I use a 3G connection to download music and sometimes the songs are not completely downloaded too and when I cant redownload them its like a waste of money.. I am so discouraged!!! Has any of you had this problem or know what I can do to fix this problem?? Thanks!!!

Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Hello bigblue8
Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.

Why can"t I remove ITunes from my Dell. I keep getting a message that says there is an older version of bonjour. I can't locate it. Help!!

I am trying to download iTunes 10.xx and keep getting a message that says I have an older version of bonjour on my laptop. I thought I removed everything associated with apple. Where is it hiding?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Contact your support personnel or package vendor. I am using windows XP 32 bit, all the other computers in my house downloaded just fine, no problems, however this is the computer my iphone is set up to, ive tried doing a virus scan, windows update, downloading other things, updating everything possible, everything works fine, its just itunes that wont download, anyone have any other ideas?

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

I cannot sync my Iphone 6 . I keep getting a message that says "1 Item failed to sync. Please see ITunes for more info"

I recently got an IPhone 6+ a few weeks ago. The 128 GB version. So far, I've loved it. I love the screen size, I love being able to put as much music and movies on it as I can. At least theoretically.
For whatever reason, I cannot sync and put music and movies on my phone. No matter what I do, what settings I change, or how many times I Google it, I keep getting a message that says
"1(Or just) Items failed to sync. Please see Itunes for more information"
Every time I try to sync my phone, I get this message. I have a library of 1300 songs and entire seasons of shows that play just fine through Itunes but for whatever reason will not sync to my phone. It doesn't matter if the songs were ripped or bought from Itunes, I cannot get more than a handful of songs onto my phone anymore.
Has anyone had this problem recently? Most Google searches only found information from 2011-12. And again, every "fix" I've found from Googling has not fixed this problem.
What's the point in a 128 GB Iphone if I can't put anything on it?
Thank you for your advice and direction.

Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you sure the message isn't about space on your phone, rather than in iCloud.

Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
