Hi!!
I've just downloaded i0S 6.1 & now can't download any apps or music through my iTunes account. It comes up as "unknown error." without a number. If I try to do it 3 times it sends me to the incorrct password page.  My password is fine on my laptop & have just used it to log into this forum!
Help please?!!
Issue solved!! just don't know how to delete this thread!
I signed out & back into my apple ID

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • TS3694 I waited about an hour to download IOS 7 and at the very end, it said An unknown error occured (6). What is this "unknown" error?

    So basically I waited about an hour for itunes to update my iPhone to IOS 7 and it is currently frozen because it had an (error 6) right at the end up the update. What do I do now? Why is it not updating?

    An unknown error occured (6). What is this "unknown" error?
    Don't know - it's unknown.
    Try again, when the Apple servers are less busy.

  • Why I cant download IOS 5 for may iphone 4? allways i get an error  message

    Hi, I´m trynig to do it with itunes 10.5 and I have a pc... and it starts to download but allways appears an error that says that my network connection timed out... my internet is ok and I desable the antivirus and the Firewall.... please please help me ( sorry if my english ***** I´m not American )

    Try retarting your PC with all antivirus and firewalls off as you have done, and be logged on as the administrator.  That sometimes helps.
    Restarting before you try to do the download/install will make sure all other process are stopped.

  • Downloaded IOS 7 and now I do not have a dictionary in iBook.  This is very frustrating.  What can be done to fix this issue?

    I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
    If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
    First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
    If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
    If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

    Why can't it be accepted?

    If help is desired, stop being vague.

    Hello, Robke100.
    I would recommend trying the steps in the article below.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Once these steps are processed, attempt to accept the terms and conditions.
    Also, you can make a purchase via the iTunes Store on the computer.  This should allow you to bypass accepting the terms and conditions on the device.
    Cheers,
    Jason H.

  • I downloaded IOS 5 and now all of my apps are gone, how can I get them back?

    I downloaded IOS 5 and now all of my apps are gone, how can I get them back?

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

  • I downloaded iOS 6 and now my iTouch has gone to ****.

    As said, I downloaded iOS 6, and now my apple store crashes constantly, and I can't sync my music.  I can't add music either.
    My dad has a iPhone 4S, and he downloaded it. Everything is fine on his end.
    Is this just me???

    My touch is exactly the same, it wont sync new songs via a cable or over wifi. It wont connect to itunes and the pc cannot find it ever since I installed ios6. Absolute trash

  • I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud.  Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue?  Thank you!

    Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect.  With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.
