Cant update to IOS5
Since yesterday ive been trying to get this to work, but the same message keeps popping up. Whenever i download the update for the iphone after like a minute it says that "There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. The network connection timed out."
My internet is working fine.... and i have itunes 10.5 which is the newest version so far.
Please help if you can, thanks.
I too am trying to update from version 4.3.5 to iOS 5 so I can use the icloud and other new features. When in iTunes I click "check for update" and it ends up coming back with "the ipod software server could not be contacted" but I am connected...is this is issue most are having? I have a 32 g ipod touch...it's the generation just before the camera was released (I think it's 3). I have the newest version on iTunes (10) so any help is appreciated!

I downloaded pages with an old apple id, now i cant update to ios5 with my new apple id
I downloaded pages with an old apple id, now i cant update to ios5 with my new apple id
Content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account - for apps only that account can download updates to them. So if you downloaded it via one account and then created a new account, you will need to use the original account to download updates or authorise it on your computer's iTunes.

My computer thinks that my iPod cant update to ios5 and thinks that 4.2.1 is the latest software how can i get it to update?
I dont know what to do any help please ??I thing yu really have a 2G iod. Those can only to to 4.2.1. If yours is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one could be either. To identify your iPod:

I have tried many times today to install iTunes 10.5 in order to update to iOS5 on my Iphone 4 however it just wont work. I have a MacBook Pro and when I use the software update it says that I have already downloaded iTunes 10.5 but when I go to install it and it says it is writing the files and the bluw bar is working its way across the page and then becomes very very slow and and at the last millimetre it seems to just hang there and do nothing. I even left if like this for several hours and nothing progressed. I have since tried to update via the iTunes program and the same problem happens. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,

Cant update to ios5: need somehow change directory where iTunes saves ipad backup
As you know, itunes backs up mobile devices in this directory C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Itunes says that my ipad needs 44 gb of space to be backed up, but my C:\ disc is only 40 gb, and free space is ~15 gb. Also, as far as i googled there is no way to change that directory, i.e. to D:\Itunesbackup. The irony is that after this update there will be no problems like i described.
P.S. Any data on ipad cannot be deleted - i must backup every bit of it, every 44 gb. Not even a signle app shall be deleted. And dont suggest to leave all as it is - i vastly need this update.I haven't tried it, but see if anything in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/12842976#12842976

Ben- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
Hi i cant update mi ipod touch its saids that the version 4.2.1 its the current version any tip ? thanks
if your ipod has only 8GB then it is an icompatible old model ( 2nd generation iPod ).
IoS 4.2.1 on it indicates that it is a too old model.
Only 3rd and 4th generation can be upgraded to iOS5. -

Try a Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
