I can't download the Ipod software update
I've been trying all night to download the software update and it keeps giving me error -3259 saying my network wasn't working properly. Well that's not true since I've been browsing the web while downloading and playing xbox live all night. I know that I can connect to the internet just fine but it just keeps saying I can't download the update. I have the newest version of iTunes I just downloaded it tonight so I know that is not the problem. I have no idea what else to do. Anything you guys know that would help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
I did. Itunes isn't blocked by windows firewall. I'm trying to see if I can unblock it under Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 but I haven't been able to find out how yet.

When I was updating my child's ipod touch with itunes....it put the ipod in recovery mode and said I would need to restore and then update....which was my only option to choose, so when I chose restore & update....after going thru it seemed the process, then a window came up that stated the ipod couldn't be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable and to try again. After trying this several times unsuccessfuly and going thru the steps on the help section, the ipod is still not able to restore & update, thus we can't access anything on our very new ipod touch and I am very frustrated, can't afford any Apple support tech time. PLEASE HELP!!
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.

Help. I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us). Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store. We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection. It happens only when we are trying to access Movies. Very confused. Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update. Now this problem! Help!

I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?
Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

Since I downloaded the recent software update, my battery charge lasts about 1/10 as long. Is there a new option that I can turn off that might be draining my charge?
There are just too many settings and combinations of apps and settings that affect battery use. Look through past posts for references to battery and read through them to get ideas. Some recent ones.. Turn down brightness and set Bluetooth off.

Deleted the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10
My Ipod was not sync'ing any songs so i thought i was because of the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10 so i deleted it thinking when i restore the ipod to it's factory setting it will install it again, but although when i restored the ipod the songs sync'ed fine and everything was working but it didn't replace the iPod Software Updater 2006-01-10 that i deleted ealier. I found a website where i can download it again but it says that the system reqirements are 10.5.1 or later and i have a 10.4.11, which cant be right because i had it intalled on my system before. Should i download this version, do i even need it?

Recently I changed my ethernet network card and since then my itunes worked strangely: itunes store worked, podcasts worked, mini-store doesn't, ipod update doesn't and diagnostics says that I had no Internet connection. Attached you can see the report.
It's weired that itunes is based in LAN Connections for sometinhgs and not for the others. Crazy!

How do i download a ipod software updater?

I got a new ipod touch for Christmas.
Today I was going to put music on it, i was told there was updates.
So I went ahead to do them.
My Ipod is stuck on the screen with the usb cord pointing to the itunes logo.
In Itunes i'm told :
Itunes has dected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes.
Turning the ipod off - the same screen appears when it's back on.
When I click restore ipod and after restore and update is clicked ; Extracting software loads up at the top.
When its done this is the message I get:
The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
I've been looking up trying to figure it out myself and have read making sure a setting in Lan Settings in Internet Properties has ; Automatically detect settings checked. I still get the same ipod message.
I've tried holding the power and home key to turn it off, then powering it back on. But that doesn't work.
I installed itunes today, so its up to date - I checked.
I don't know what else to do.
Can someone help me out, please? :}

Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"
I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???
Windows XPHi BigIRv,
Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:
