I am unable to download iOS 5. It always times out.

I have been trying for several days at different times of the day. It either quits or times out. Any help would be appreciated.

Disable your antivirus and firewall software. It can interfere with the update process. Kaspersky is especially bad about this.

    One I-tunes, I've tried multiple times to dowload the update to ios 4.3.5, but after dowloading, the connection times out before installation. I can't get the download on the Apple site. What else can I do?

    Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

  • I can't get iOS 6.1.1 on my 4th gen ipod touch. It says "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" Help?

    My iPod 4th Generation does not let me download iOS 6.1.1...
    The reason I want 6.1.1 is because I want to download kik and a load of other apps but I need 6.1.1. 
    The message is "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" or something, and I have no idea what it means or how to fix it because I know barely anything about the apple software things.
    I've read a few things about it and discovered that this issue is common, but I can't get the answer I need, and the other posts about this issue were made like two years ago. I've got enough space, definitely, and last night it was downloading it so I put it on the charger and went to sleep, when I woke up it said "Cannot download. Internet connection is required." something like that. I had no issues last night, but now it's saying it cannot download.
    Can someone please help?
    I've not updated my ipod for a year or so now, but I'm still not sure why it's not working.
    Thanks so much!
    PS: I currently have ios 5 point something.

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

    Where are you trying to download it from? It is certainly available - it is the current iOS.

    You are correct-there are no more IOS updates for 1st Gen iPads.

  • I'm trying to prepare some new iPads using Apple Configurator and the download of IOS8 failed.  The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."

    I'm trying to prepare some new iPads using Apple Configurator and the download of IOS8 failed.
    The error in Apple Configurator is "Unable to download iOS 8.0. The firmware image was corrupted. Please retry the operation."
    Is there a way to get the Apple Configurator to try to re-download iOS 8?

    Apple Support had me delete the image file from the following location:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.confi gurator/firmware/
    The file name was iPad3,4_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw
    I deleted this file and ran the prepare again and it download the iOS 8 ok and successfully prepared the iPad.

  • Unable to download IOS 8

    I Am unable to download IOS 8.1. Even though I have bought more storage 
    thank you

    You cannot buy more storage for an iPad. At least not the storage needed for an iOS update. If you tried to update and a message popped up saying you didn't have enough free space or storage on your iPad for the update you have to remove enough stuff on your iPad to provide that space. The update requires plenty of free space to install but when it is done much of that space is freed up again so you can put some of your stuff back on the iPad if you desire.
    The additional storage you purchased is iCloud storage which is used for back up of your iPad.
    Another alternative is to back up your iPad while connected to iTunes on your computer. When you do this the installation file is downloaded to the computer and extracted there. This method requires much less space on your iPad to complete the update.

  • Error in Apple Configurator - Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted.

    The initial update of some iPads failed while preparing them in Apple Configurator. Now this message, Unable to Download iOS 7.1.2. The firmware image was corrupted, appears every time I try to prepare using the Configurator. Can the corrupted firmware image be deleted or is there away around the error?

    It should be located here:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.configurator/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.config urator/Firmware/
    Try deleting the ipsw from here and re-download it.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out.  No error msg given.  What is it waiting for?

    When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out.  No error msg given.  What is it waiting for?

    Finally got it working, I had to delete two solitary files in an iTunes folder.
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    Delete the only two files that are in this folder. Please note that it is a hidden folder.
    After they have been deleted, iTunes should work (it did for me)
    This may not work if your iTunes.exe process (viewable with task manager) turns off after the license agreement. I solved that problem by updating quicktime.
    iTunes 10.5.2 doesn't update quicktime like all the previous installers did.
