  • Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"

    I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???

    Hi BigIRv,
    Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
    See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:

  • Possible fix for "problem downloading the IPOD software.." error

    I have a click wheel IPOD and after dropping it was forced to restore to factory setting. When attempting to restore, Itunes nor my computer recognized my IPOD and when it finally did I got the message
    "These was a problem downloading the Ipod software for the Ipod "Ipod." The requested resource was not found."
    I did the 5 steps repeatedly over 2 days with no luck then today I combined advice from a bunch of postings and it worked!
    Here's what worked:
    1)Bought a new USB 2.0 connect cable.
    2)Deleted the folder containing the firmware files: see
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309
    3)Delete Ipod updater
    4)Restarted computer
    5)Download updated Itunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/
    When I ran the exe file it asked if I wanted to "repair" or "reinstall" I choose "repair".
    5)Reset ipod
    6)Opened itunes, connected ipod, it took about 10 minutes for itunes to sync with the ipod.
    7)Choose restore.
    After that it went as normal.

  • I can't download the Ipod software update

    I've been trying all night to download the software update and it keeps giving me error -3259 saying my network wasn't working properly. Well that's not true since I've been browsing the web while downloading and playing xbox live all night. I know that I can connect to the internet just fine but it just keeps saying I can't download the update. I have the newest version of iTunes I just downloaded it tonight so I know that is not the problem. I have no idea what else to do. Anything you guys know that would help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for all the help!

    I did. Itunes isn't blocked by windows firewall. I'm trying to see if I can unblock it under Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 but I haven't been able to find out how yet.

    Does your computer really have Windows ME on it Vivian? If so, be aware that the iPod/iTunes is not supported under ME. It can be done, but it requires some effort. See this:

  • Trying to restore, but iTunes can't find the iPod software

    iTunes tells me my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be re-set to factory settings. When I click the "Restore" button, I get an iTunes error box that says "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resources was not found". I don't know what to do from here.
    I've been through lots of different steps. First, my PC wouldn't even recognize the iPod. So, I changed the settings to get around the hub being automatically powered down. Now the computer recognizes the iPod and iTunes tries to connect to it, but says it has detected a corrupted iPod.
    The iPod was working fine a few weeks ago, but when the iPod froze up, my son tried to re-set it and ended up erasing everyting. It has been stuck in this mode ever since then.
    Help!

    I was able to find an answer by looking at a reply to another user's question. The first step (described in my first posting) was to get Windows to recognize the "corrupted" iPod as a drive. This require me to make a change in the device manager for Windows. Here's the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343 This fixed the first problem so that Windows started recognizing the iPod as an unidentified drive.
    Next, I needed to reformat the drive. This is where the help from the other posting came in handy. I had to go into "My Computer" and select the iPod "drive". Then, I clicked on "File" and "Format". I deselected both quick format and enable compression and let Windows reformat the drive. After this, iTunes was able to recognize the drive the next time I opened the program. iTunes then prompted me to restore the drive to factory settings and it worked perfectly. I hope this will be helpful to someone else. Good luck!

    Hello there pipem90,
    Heres an article about that very issue. Check out this article named iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369.
    There is more to the article but start here:
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you have not already done so, try the steps in the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant which applies to your iPod; this will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Maybe:

  • Does anybody know where i can download the IPOD MINI SOFTWARE

    i recently bought an ipod mini off my friend but he gave me no cd with the ipod mini software. i dont need the itunes software i have that but i dont know where i can download the ipod mini software, any help will be amazing helpful and welcome, thanks

    Yes it could be. You should perhaps restore it using the updater from the link I gave you.
    Install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then choose restore.
    This will return the iPod to factory settings, erase the hard drive, reload the software and ensure the iPod is Windows formatted.
    Then you should be good to go.
