Can not update Ipod touch to IOS 5

I have a ipod touch 4th generation 32gb and I can not update my ipod to the new IOS 5 software. A error message keeps popping up saying that the network connection has timed out. I have tried various things to get rid of this problem restarting my laptop and also I have updated my itunes software to the newest one. Any help with this problem will be great cheers

Two solutions:
- Disable the computer's security software during the download and update.
- Directly download and install the update using the instuctions here:

  • HT4972 Can I update iPod touch from ios 4.2.1 to latest SW version?

    iTunes show "this version of the iPod software (4.2.1)is the  current version". Is that mean Ipod touch can't update iOS to higher version?

    On that iPod touch model, yes.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

    Can not restore ipod touch. About 167MB of 346,8MB get loaded than download stops, a few minutes later:  ERROR 3259! ( High Speed Internet Connection 16000kBits/sec)

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Can I sync iPod touch w/ iOS 4.1 w/ iTunes 9?

    I updated to iTunes 10, and then updated my iPod touch to iOS 4.1. Can I switch back to iTunes 9, or will that mess up my iPod touch sync? I want to downgrade because I back up my music library to an external drive and share it with my older laptop, which is running 10.4 -- and you can't run iTunes 10 in OS 10.4.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an iPod Touch 2G which I upgraded to 4.1 and I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 on OS 10.6 on my MacBook Pro...I hope this helps
    I've been avoiding the iTunes 10...just been monitoring the dicussions to see if Apple finally fixes the problem, before I try to upgrade!

  • I can't update ipod touch to new 4.2

    I can'tupdate my ipod touch to new 4,2

    Which model of iPod Touch do you have? The 1st generation can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3.

  • Can't update iPod touch 3. No iTunes app showing & no software update available in updates...HELP

    I can't get iPod touch updated. Can't get it connected to cloud. There are no iTunes app, software updates or cloud options in menus. I don't know what to do.

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

    Hi all,
      I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
      I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one  seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
      I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
      Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

    Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
    Thanks.

  • Can't upgrade ipod touch to ios 5 beta 2?

    Hi everyone! I recently tried to upgrade my firmware from ios 5 beta 1 to ios 5 beta 2 (I have a developer account, paid the $99 and everything).
    The upgrade to beta 1 from 4.3.3 was pretty much flawless. When I tried to upgrade to ios 5 beta 2, it seemed to work until the last step, at which point the ipod touch was off and could not be turned on. When connected to a computer, it said it was stuck in recovery mode. I couldn't switch my firmware in Organizer any more, not even back to beta 1.
    I restored down to 4.3.3 again cause I figured it would wipe the whole thing and let me upgrade back to beta 1 at least. That much worked, I have an ipod with 4.3.3 on it.
    Now when I try to upgrade back UP to beta 2 or even beta 1 again, I get this error: "Could not allocate buffer (file exists)" and the ipod goes back into recovery mode, and I must again restore down to 4.3.3.
    What file is this, how can I delete it, and how can I upgrade again to beta 2? This ought to be the last time I need to upgrade with a wired connection, since all updates from Beta 2 onwards are OTA as far as I know.
    I was quite fearful of "bricking", but a friend who is far more familiar with the inner workings of the ipod touch than I am has assured me that since the computer detected it in recovery mode, it wasn't a lost cause.
    I was originally attempting the install from a slightly older version of Xcode, which is probably the root cause of this problem and I am now kicking myself.
    Thanks for the help!
