Having problems updating to iOS 5 for iPod Touch.

I own an iPod touch 32GB, 3rd generation. I have version 4.3.5 at the moment. When I plug my iPod into my computer and try to update it to 5.0.1 (iOS 5) a message comes up that says "Updating to iOS 5.0.1 will delete all of the media, including iTunes store purchases, on your iPod Touch. To preserve your content, apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos."  I have never used another computer for my iPod. When iOS 5 first came out I was able to update my iPone 4 perfectly with out any problems. Is anyone else having/had this problem or getting/got this message?

If you had been using this computer for syncing, the music should still be present in iTunes:
Connect your iPod to the computer either via cable or wireless and check the iTunes settings.  Finally, do a sync.

  • Problem Upgrading to ios 5 for ipod touch 3G (64MB)

    I have been trying to upgrade my ipod touch 3G to ios 5 and have been getting strange errors through iTunes.
    iTunes tells me that I have an upgrade available to 5.0.1, if I click on that, I get the message, "This device is not eligble for the requested build"
    I downloaded several firmwares for my device, and I get different error messages trying to use each one:
    5.0.1 9A405   : "device not eligible"
    5.0.   9A334   : error occurred (3002)
    4.2.1 8C148   : "device not eligible"  50%  - it actually does the update the other 50%
    I'm completely confused with what is going on.
    My details:
    ipod touch 3G (64MB), serial: 9C003DK76K4
    OSX  10.5.8
    iTunes 10.5.3

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • TS1424 I updated latest ios on my ipod touch. Now when I go to the itunes store and browse for possible purchases it seems to shut off after only a short time for no reason. Help?

    I updated the ios on my ipod touch. Now when I browse the itunes store on my ipod, it only allows a very brief visit before automatically closing me out. I have to go back into the store and begin searches etc all over again. Is this a setting or a problem that is randomly occuring? I use to look for hours. Any thoughts?

    Maybe here:

  • Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?

    Anybody still having problems updating to ios 5?

    I have had no success in updating my Verizon 32GB i Phone 4 with ios5.  Every time I go thru the update software process I get an error message 3104.  I follow the thread and it has me re-load i Tunes.  I have done this and still get the error 3194 and will not let me install ios 5.  I have a Dell 64 Bit processor running Windows 7 (64).  Very dissipointed, this is the first glitch I have had after converting to Apple.  Also having the same problem with iPAD2 update for ios5.  So this may point to a problem with i Tunes.
    I have gone to Google and looked up the problem and there appear to be several fixes such as add a line of language to the i Tumes software or remove a line.  This is a little too much for a mear mortal like me to be fooling around with re-writing software language.
    Frustration level - High.  Dissipointment level - Higher.
    Thanks for the venue...

  • After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer  for iPods ?

    After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?  Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

    Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
    Otherwise try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    After update to ios 5, my ipod touch cannot recharge anymore... it's out of battery now what should I do?

    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. The appointment is free.

    You must be running iOS 5 or later for WiFi updating. You must use iTunes. You must have an iPod Touch model that supports at least iOS 5. That means a 3G Touch. See Identifying iPod models.
