Hi ...
From your iTunes menu bar click Store > Check for Available Downloads
If that doesn't help, you may be able to re download the song. You won't be charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.

Hi Guys,
I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
Please help, very frustrating!
Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

Thanks so much for your reply. In the meantime, everything else is working. I called Apple support and they were very unhelpful, wanted to charge me for support on a phone I'm trying to get rid of to upgrade to the iPhone 5, but, I can't get rid of it until I synch it to my computer.... Any suggestions to see what's blocking it?

"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone....An unknown error occurred (-23)." What should I do?

i have the same problem:
I have an iphone 4s and I have been trying for months to update my phone from iOS 6.1.3 to the new one.
I recently got a new computer (my old harddrive crashed and will not work at all) and I just now copied all my music and photos to the computer.
Now I have been trying to update to the iOS 7.1 both on iTunes and on the iPhone but neither one work. I keeps saying "unknown error" .
I am wondering if I restore it to factory settings and then update it will the install work?
also since i have backed up to the iCloud and my computer..will i be able to recover my music, contacts, notes and photos???
thanks in advance.

IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

"iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

IOS 5 on 3Gs iPhone,There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone

I have attemepted to update my iPhone 3Gs 8-10 times now over the past three days and keep getting the following error message:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone " My iPhone". The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings asre correct and your netowrk connections are active, or try again later.
This is after i wait 45-60min for iOS 5 to download each time.

Hi,
I am having the same problem as eimaj311 - and I dont have Kaspersky. I would like to believe that the error is not even related to network speed. I understand there would be a high demand on the servers - but this would have been anticipated and addressed - if so why the error message. I think downloading 700Mb would have been easier if iTunes can save whatever was downloaded and resume from that point in the event an error occurs.
In the mean time I am doomed - looks like the timeout error messages are there to stay.

"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone"

I'm in iTunes 8.2 with my iPhone 3G connected. I click "update" and I get a message saying that "iTunes will update your iPhone..." I click update and I get "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Steve's iPhone 3G". The network connection could not be made."
I'm not seeing anyone else posting this error. I assume it means Apple's servers are busy, but everyone else seems to be getting the update fine.
My internet connection is strong (22M down / 5M up) and I can access everything else out there, including the iTunes Store. Any ideas?

Agreed, I had the same problem but after reading your post I decided to keep trying and it eventually worked. Thankfully for me at least it worked on about the 10th attempt!
Thanks!

TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. 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. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. 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!
