Hi all i won't update my iPod touch 4 generation to ios 5 but there are win the download end its showing a massage (the network connection timed out)

Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

  • When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message. However, all of our other iphones and ipod touches will connect fine.

    When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message.  However, when I plug in other iphones or ipod touches I can connect fine.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Try a powered external USB hub.  It uses a 120V AC wall jack to power USB devices, and the Mac only needs to provide *just enough* to comminucate.  Best Buy, Target, Walmart, ... about $20.

  • IPod touch in recovery mode but there are no backups for the restore

    I recently switched from a Mac to a PC. When I connected my iPod touch to the PC, it errored trying to do a backup and no backup was created. My iPod is now in recovery mode and when I try to restore I get this error message: 'The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).' What can I do?

    Did you try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?
    Is your ipod charging if you use the adapter? If yes, charge it and try again to connect in recovery mode.
    In order to pass the passcode you'll have to restore your ipod "as new ipod" because the passcode info is saved in your backup. Restoring and backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?

    You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress.  Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data.  To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing. 
    Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.

  • IPod Touch won't update ("Network Connection timed out")

    My iTunes will not update me or my brothers 4th gen. iPod Touch's or another iPod Nano (the new touch screen one). It says that the network connection timed out. How do i fix this. (Trying to update to 4.3.3)

    Disable your computer's security software such as the firewall and antivirus.  Also try rebooting your computer. modem and router.  Some say using a wired connection between the computer and router helps.

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.

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!

  • So i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button. it turned white and i tried charging it when it died but it went back to usual please help!

    so i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button at the same time for it to restart. It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work. Please respond ASAP! thank you! i could really use your help right now!

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

  • "network connection timed out"-can't update upgrade on ipod

    Last year an ipod touch 8GB was given to me and I am just now updating everything. When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it prompts me to download and install 3.1.3 upgrade. So I hit "download and install" and right after it gets done downloading (takes 7 min), an error message pops up and says "network connection timed out"- could not install the upgrade, try again later. I have paid the 5 bucks for the upgrade and tried it about 10 times now with the same results everytime.
    I have tried turning off my router and restarting that and also reset my network connections on the actual ipod itself with re-typing in my network name and password for the wifi. My wireless connection is strong and never goes out on me, as well as my ipod always recognizes it and connects automatically so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error message!
    HELP!!! thx

    I ran into the issue this week. said yes to upgrade, ipod was backed up, and then upgrade died. ipod touch itself indicated it was no longer aware. power down did not help, itunes could not restore to previous. Looking on apple site, I was getting a code 14 error. solution was to update itunes to 9.03, restart system and then retry the download. it worked after that, and the backup did restore all my info including kindle books etc.

  • Ipod wont restore and update. network connection timed out. help!???

    I restored my ipod touch 2g 8gb. I went into itunes and followed the steps. I clicked restore and update and it goes through the whole process and gets all the way to the end and it says ipod software update (processing file) then a pop up comes up telling me "there was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. the network connection timed out". i've tried it in different usb ports and i've turned off the firewalls. still nothing. does anyone have a solution for me?? i've been trying for a few days now and i've look all over the internet to fix this issue. i'm at the point i'm just annoyed so i'm posting here for help. any help would be awesome! thanks

    When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
    If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
    Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
    Useful information for configuring your security software:
    IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
    port 80
    port 443
    phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com
    For a more complete list of ports used by Apple products see "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
    iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
    evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
    evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
    For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
    If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
    To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
    Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
    If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
    To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

  • I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6

    I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6... I've updated my iTunes to 10.7 checked my security software tried restoring my iPod and then downloading on my device and my laptop. When I connect it to the computer I try downloading &amp; updating and only downloading.. Still nothing I get error messages, can't connect to update server messages.. I'm just thinking about giving up... What the heck do i do !!??? Will the local apple store do it for me and what's so going to be on the 5th gen I may just wait and get that one. Please help.

    Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
    Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
    Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

  • I can't update my ipod 4th generation to iOS 6.1.6

    Hey guys,
    I have an iPod 4G that currently has an iOS of 5.1.1
    I tried a few times to update it to iOS 6.1.6 but whenever I do I get the error message:
    "Software Update Failed; An error occured downloading iOS 6.1.6."
    When i try on iTunes, I get to about a quarter of the way howver an error message pops up saying:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod the network connections timed out."
    Does anyone know why the update is not working?

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Try on another computer.
