Download the software for Nano??

I just can't figure out why in the world I have to go through all of this to get my nano set up? Isn't very user friendly. Not sure how people who know only a modest amount about computers are expected to understand downloading drivers etc. I think I might return mine. Why don't they come with an installation cd? My old RCA lyra even came with one! Anyone have advice for someone who isn't any good with computers?

Hi lifeisgoodisntit, and Welcome to Discussions!
All you need to do is go to http://www.apple.com/itunes to download iTunes. After the file downloads, all you need to do is open the file to launch the installer. iTunes then installs as any other Windows application would.
If you are unsure of how to install applications to your Windows computer, consult the computer's built-in help or see the documentation. Or, you could consider purchasing a Mac.
If you are having problems with the installer, please let us know what happens and we will do our best to help. The more information you provide about the problem or what is confusing you, the better we can help you.
All iPods also come with complimentary telephone support for a limited amount of time. Consider calling AppleCare. See the documentation that came with your iPod for more information. Please note: AppleCare support lines may be extra buy due to increased calls during the Christmas season.

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established".  This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
    Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
    Will I be able to update the software?

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    For error -50: See error 13 and 14: 
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone....An unknown error occurred (-23)." What should I do?

    i have the same problem:
    I have an iphone 4s and I have been trying for months to update my phone from iOS 6.1.3 to the new one.
    I recently got a new computer (my old harddrive crashed and will not work at all) and I just now copied all my music and photos to the computer.
    Now I have been trying to update to the iOS 7.1 both on iTunes and on the iPhone but neither one work. I keeps saying "unknown error" .
    I am wondering if I restore it to factory settings and then update it will the install work?
    also since i have backed up to the iCloud and my computer..will i be able to recover my music, contacts, notes and photos???
    thanks in advance.

  • IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

    "iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
    I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

    OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

    Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.

  • How do you download the software for hp 460 mobile printer

    Can't seem to get to a dowload page to download the software for this printer.  We don't have the CD!

    Hello @DLP1!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to provide some assistance that may help resolve the issue!  Unfortunately there is no software developed for your printer on Mac version 10.10.  You should still be able to use the printer from the computer through a USB connection.  
    I recommend following this link "HP Printers - Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update" for the instructions on how to add the printer to your computer using generic drivers!
    Please post back and let me know how everything goes!
