Error 3036 - software for ipod touch

I cannot download the new update for my ipod touch. I click download but it only brings me to the itunes store. When i go to downloads, there are 52 downloads available but when i click it is comes up, "Unable to check for available downloads. An unknown error occured (3036)." How do I fix this and how do i update my ipod?

Your ipod cannot update to the newest ios,
They have done this so people will have to buy new devices to play the newest games.
If you want to play the newest games you have the buy an ipod 4g or 5g.
Your ipod cannot run higher than ios 4.2.1
The newest ios is ios 6.2.1
But this is not available for your ipod 2g

  • Why is no one worried about virus software for ipod touch

    Everyone seems to think no virus scan is required for ipod touch.If you surf the web why would no virus be able to attack?

    It's hard (not impossible), to make virus for Apple's software, so Apple or antivirus developers, don't really care about fighting them.
    Don't forget to rate the answer as helpful or correct
    Not exactly... So typically the normal "hacker" is looking for something, like passcodes to banking or other personal information, maybe a keylogger, or something to that effect.  That's a lot of why windows is targeted.  For one, its the widest audience, for two it is rather unsecure.  Apple goes to great length to ensure its software (Mac OS and iOS) is secure.  They provide you with warnings and require admistrative approval to do certain things that a malicious software may want to do.  So, again if you're actively engaged and don't do stupid things on the internet you'll be fine.

  • Updating iPod touch to iPhone 3.0 Software for iPod touch, getting error 14

    I recently tried to update my 2g iPod touch to the 3.0 software. During the installation, I got an error message saying that an "unknown error 14" has occurred. This happened during the restoration process, and then my iPod just gave me the screen with the USB cable and the iTunes logo. iTunes then told me to restore the ipod, and during that restoration process, I got the same error. I also tried doing the restore manually by finding the iPod software on my hard drive, and then option-clicking on the restore button the find the software and then install. If anyone has any fixes or suggestions for this problem, they would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
    Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
    The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
    The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
    Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
    I had another problem and that was...
    Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
    Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
    Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

  • Updating software for iPod Touch Model MC086LL

    The current software on my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 and I would like to update it to the most recent software or to the 4.3 version at the very least. However, when I click check for software I receive a message indicateing that my software version is uptodate.   I know for a fact that it is not the current version. How can I get my iPod Touch to do a software update?  I have read and followed the instructions in the iPod manual and some instructions I have found on this site, but I still cannot get the software to update. Some of my apps should be updated including the one I use the most to listen to my ebook. 
    Thank you in advance for all who answer my request for help.

    I have no reason to purchase a newer version iPod Touch, I just want to up date my software.  There should be a way to do this and I wish I could find out how.  A 3 year old device is just not considered old, in my option, and should be able to recieve updates.  (F.Y.I., my windows computer is over 7 years old and I can update it's software.  If Apple makes you purchase new devices in order to have newer software, then I don't see me buying any more Apple device which is sad as I just purchased an iPad and "love" my iPod Touch.)

    iOS 5.1.1
    .Are you sure you really have a 3G iPod?
    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.

  • Do i have to have either a 2.0 or later software for ipod touch to work?

    I just bought my Ipod Touch(first gen) and shouldn't it come with a 2.0 software? When i checked its software model it said 1.2 does that mean someone already used this product? or i just have to buy the new 2.2 software update? Do you have to have 2.0 software or later to put music onto the ipod? cause everytime i try to send over the music it won't appear on the ipod music's list but in the itunes library.

    dont worry, its not stupid. here to help!
    the ipod touch 2.2 update will cost 6 pounds or 10 dollars.
    to update, connect your ipod to itunes, and click check for updates on your ipod's page (should open when you connect), it should say that there is an update avaliable.
    you will pay once for the update
    you can also click this link (after plugging in your ipod)

  • Is there an error 28 fix for ipod touch 4th generation restoring?

    is there a fix for error 28

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • How to buythe 'January Software' for iPod Touch

    I've installed formware 1.1.3, I go to the iTunes store page for the recently released January Software package (£12.99 rip off!).
    But I only have two options. Either 'No Thanks' or 'Remind Me Later' - Where's the 'BUY NOW' button?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you both for your responses. You were right. I needed to upgrade iTunes. No idea why it didn't 'auto detect' that a new version was available. Thanks again
