How to update the firmware of iPod nano manually?

iTunes reminded me there's iPod software 1.1.2 available, and I tried to download it. But the speed kept about several kb/s and even for some reason the downloading interrupted itself.
Someone told me to download the software by myself and then upgrade it manually. I use the link he gave and successfully download it, the .ipsw file. However when I tried to follow the instrutions, click "shift" and "update" button on itunes simultaneously and then choose the directory of the .ipsw file.
But it didn't appear like that! What I got is the same as I click only "update". iTunes tried to contact with the server and then started to download the firmware. There was no chance I can select the directory of the file located on the hard disk.
I also tried opt+update, cmd+update, it wouldn't work either.
I wanna know if this is the officially admissive way to update the ipod software? Any suggestion about the procedure?
Regards

The update consists of 2 files, the .ipsw and a .ipsw.signature file. If you don't have both iTunes can't do what you want and it tries to download the missing file which, by the way, is much smaller: 532 bytes versus 59M.
The other part of the procedure (Shift-Update), I don't know. It doesn't sound logical, what if your iPod is up to date? can you do the manual operation? No, I just tested. Why not? It doesn't make sense.
Where the instructions an Apple reference?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I update the firmware all at once

I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?

Apple Configurator is the software you want - and it's free from Apple. However, I'm dubious that firmware can be updated all at once.

I would contact Apple directly and have them work with to get the iPod shipped to a new/different address.

HT4972 hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any aps so how to update the ios please anybody help me..

hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch 3g it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any apps so how to update the ios 5 or more than this please anybody help me..i am in trouble.

I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
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.
Otherwise connect to yor computer and update via iTunes. Yo need iTunes 10 or later on the computer.
To more easily find compatilbe apps for 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

How do I update the Firmware on the Quantum Router?

So the Quantom router is missing a bunch of features the old action tech router had. Advanced filteringis gone, I am hoping a firmware update would bring it back. I go to look to upgade or check for a firmware update and that isn't there either.
How do I update the Firmware on the Quantum Router?

The current Quantum firmware version is 0.26.29.
Firmware updates are automatically pushed by Verizon. If you have an older version, reboot the router and it should pickup the new version.

I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Error while updating the firmware

I have X4500 running solaris 10 OS with software version 5.10. The ILOM version is 1.1.1. I tried to update the firmware but I cannot do that because I am getting an error. This is how I setup everything and I get the error mentioned below.
C H A P T E R 1 - Flash Upgrading Your Server to Software Release 1.2
I referred to the above link to do so. But, I do not understand what is the tftpserver that I need to mention here. I get an error message saying gethostbyname() failed. I also setup tftp server on my solaris machine using the following link.
A P P E N D I X C - Updating the Firmware
Please, help me.

ILOM <1.1.8 was pretty flaky. 1.0 was described to me by a Sun CSE as the worst piece of software they ever released. I beg to differ, having been forced to use YP and rpc.lockd in the past but I digress ...
o) Are you sure that you're getting the right firmware image? You want the x4500-specific images here: http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/downloads.jsp Be careful not to mix up x4100/x4200, x4100m2/x4200m2, x4600, x4500, etc. files as they are different
o) Do a "show /SYS/MB" before updating your firmware and stash the output. Updates from 1.x versions of ILOM have a way of wiping the system serial and part numbers. If you record that info first you can repair after the fact.
o) Do a "reset /SP" to reset the service processor before attempting the update. 1.x versions of ILOM, especially <=1.1.1, seem to upgrade more reliably when they're freshly booted
o) Be sure that /SYS is stopped before you update ILOM
o) You don't specify what command you're using to try to update, but I suspect that you're trying something like
load -source tftp://some.host.domain/file.ima
given the gethostbyname error. Give it the ip address of the tftp server not the FQDN.

How to update iOS 6 in IPOD 2nd

Please Help Me,
How to update iOS 6 in IPod 2nd generation , i cant any app download

You do not. The hardware in the 2G does not support higher than 4.2.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
