  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

  • How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

    how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

    I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
    Hope this helps

  • I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
    Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

    My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

    On your iPad tap Settings > Store
    Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?

    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?

    If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
    If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher.

  • While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error message that Iphone cound not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.
