Itunes-wont download updater!

Hi, Getting bit annoyed, as each time I connect ipod to my comp with itunes open, itunes message pops up; 'A new ipod software version (3.1.1) is available for the ipod' and each time I agree to download-it downloads up to around 21% and freezes...I cannot seem to transfer any new songs over to the ipod at the moment-and believe its because I need this download-what can I do? (Ive tried reinstalling itunes, and reconnecting the ipod)
Many thanks, Gemma x

hi Gemma!
just checking. are you running the install "on-line" or are you downloading and saving to your hard drive, and running the installation from there?
what web browser are you using for the download?
love, b

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

    Itunes wont download because I dont have 10.6.8 or greater. But I just installed the snowlion disk thing and my macbook is a 10.6.8 version so how do I get itunes to download?

    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

    From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled.  You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
    Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
    You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

  • Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer

    Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

    I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
    If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

  • ITunes stopped working,C++ library error, removed iTunes, now iTunes wont download

    Have been using iTunes for years on laptop with windows vista (32 bit).  recently started getting itunes errors such as C++ runtime library error and  R6034 error.  Itunes stopped working.  Read the boards, I deleted itunes and other products from the trouble shooting directions (e.g., bonjour, mobile me etc), and tried to download itunes again.  now itunes wont download (I have 20 MB/140MB available memory).  stuck at this point - Itunes not on laptop, but cant download new itunes.....

    Sorry for the delay.  Tried running the fixit program (1 time via internet explorer, 1 time via firefox), the firefox attempt downloaded the fixit program, but when trying to run it I get a pop up window that indicates that the troubleshooter is not available and that the fixit program is invalid or has expired and a new website is given for the new program (same happened with the internet exploere attempt- it directed me to the same window and to the same website)......the website is:
    http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
    there are several buttons to choose from and reviewed them- I found the uninstall fix that you described in the windows button.  I tried to download and run the fix from both internet explorer and firefox, however after downloading, when i run the program I eventually get the same window that says that the troubleshooter is not available......

  • A movie i rented on itunes wont download now what do i do?

    a movie i rented from itunes wont download now what do i do?

    Hey Patiencepieart!
    While there is not enough information in the post about your circumstance to be able to say for sure, but here are some tips from the iTunes movie rental FAQ that may be helpful to you:
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1657
    Where can I watch my movie rental?
    You can watch your movie rental on your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch (with iOS 3.1.3 or later), iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation), or on your TV using your Apple TV. You can watch HD movie rentals on your computer, iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or with Apple TV.
    How many times can I view the movie?
    Once you start watching your movie, you can view the rented movie as many times as you wish within the 24-hour (or 48-hour) window.
    What happens to my rented movie if I don't watch it?
    If you don't watch your rented movie, it will expire in 30 days and disappear from your iTunes library. You will need to rent it again in order to watch it.
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Braden

    First off, I need to know which Windows OS you are running? What antivirus and firewall programs are you running? Is iTunes and/or Quicktime installed on your PC?
    Have you gone to Windows Website to download and install any new updates recently?
    Post back and let me know
