I'm having trouble downloading the firmware update through iTunes...

For three days I've been trying to get iTunes to download the update. I get anywhere from 10% to 80% of the file downloaded, then get a time-out error. When I resume the download, it starts over from the beginning. I must have downloaded the first 100 MB 20 times now.
My internet connection is strong and stable, but I have not been able to get this download through iTunes.
Is there a direct download available somewhere? Is there a way to have iTunes save a partial download and continue where it left off?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Go HERE for the direct download links.
Once you download the update file, you simply connect your iPhone, and press the option key (Mac) or the shift key (Windows) while clicking the Update button in iTunes, and you'll be prompted to locate the file you downloaded.

Having trouble downloading the new version of itunes on Macbook, can you help me?

Hi,
I bought my computer MacBook about six years ago. I am trying to download the new version of itunes. It downloads to my computer, but then asks me for my name and installer password. The options to get that password back is to install the initial disk of the computer, which I do not have anymore or restart the computer doing some sort of steps. I am clueless when it comes to computers, so if anyone can help me that would be awsome!
My computer has been running fine these past years and I would hate for the answer to be that I have to replace my MacBook for another Mac....

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the iPhone Update 4.2.8?

I got my new iPhone4 on 6/28. I have it attached to my iTune account and during the synch the software is attempting to update (4.2.6 to 4.2.8). I accept the T&C and the download starts and takes between 6 and 8 minutes. Just before it completes I get the following error message "There was a problem downloading the software. The network connection timed out - try again later (652.7MB of 652.8MB stopped (err_ -3259). This has happened several times to me now. How can I get this fixed?

The first thing to try is to temporarily disable any antivirus or antispyware you have on your computer. Those utiltiies can block successful download.
Hope this helps.

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11.

I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11. The buttons are there but will not allow me to repeat an album when selected under artist from remote app on iPhone. I have downloaded the update for the remote app but the repeat function now repeats all albums under that artist name. Selecting the album directly under albums works but is not as easly to access. Any thoughts?

Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
