Can't update my ipod touch to iOS 5.3 (4th G)!

i have an ipod touch 4th generation. i want to update it to iOS 5.3 but everytime i do from itunes an error message occurs in different forms. however the most frequent message is: There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod: "xxx's ipod". An unknown error occured(9006). (i currently have version 4.2.1)
along with this, it assumes like 12 hours for the download to be complete and and arror message appears after a few hours.
what is the problem and how should i resolve it to update my ipod touch?

Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

    Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

    If it's a second generation iPod touch, no; they can't be updated past 4.2.1.
    If it's a third generation iPod touch, yes.
    If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, no; they can only be updated directly to 6.1.3.

    So could you also tell me how to change the apple id in the Version IOS 2.2.1

  • Can i update the ipod touch 2g iOS?

    wondering if there is hope to update the operating system of this old thing to one that will actually talk with newer apps?  fingers crossed.
    i want to give this to my kids to play games on.

    I should say that it has been updated to 4.2.1 but i'm wondering if i can push it as far as iOS 5.  I am a dreamer.

  • HT4623 I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and my iPod locked up. Can not reset. The only thing I get is a picture the lightning cable pointing to a circular iTunes icon. Any idea on how to unlock my device? Thanks. Stroke72

    I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and myiPod locked up. I can not reset or restore the unit. The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • I just updated my ipod touch to ios 6 and it is still telling me to update to ios 4.3. Help, I can't download any APS

    I just updated my ipod touch to ios 6 and it is still telling me I need to update to ios 4.3
    Help?

    I've spent most of the last two days trying to restore from back-ups and set up as new and neither worked. iTunes stopped recognizing it AS an iPod at one point so I tried reinstalling iTunes to make sure it was all up to date but it's still doing the same thing. Freezes or disconnects during sync or throws up an error message and 95% of the music that "has" synced is greyed out and not playable. I'm assuming the update has a bug cos these forums are full of problems people are having since the update, I had no issues with anything before this upgrade was installed.

  • Can I update a iPod Touch from a different PC and not lose my media files?

    OK. Here is the question, can you update a iPod touch which is on iOS 4.x to iOS 6.0 using a different computer that it was originally synced to, but not lose any of the media files on it?

    Only if all your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library of that computer.

    It sounds like you may have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. If so, 4.2.1 is the highest iOS. Please note there was never a 2nd Generation 8gB version of the iPod Touch.

    I was updating my ipod touch to iOS 6.1.3...when it's finish..the recovery mode appeared and when i plugged it on itunes it didn't work

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
