IOS5.0.1 for iPod Touch 4 update failed

Hello,
I urgently need your assistance on this issue.
I tried to Download and Update to iOS5.0.1 in my laptop.  Since the update will take approximately 5 hours, I left my laptop with my itouch connected to it for a couple of hours.  When I got back, I received an error message (which I can't remember exactly) telling me thatthe update failed.  I think it failed on the part wherein the update is being installed in my itouch since the screen is showing the Apple sign with the status bar on it.  Now, even if I try ti continue the update, iTunes is not recognizing the itouch nor can I turn off my itouch.
I did a back up of my itouch before I downloaded it. 
Please help. Any help or advise will be greatly appreciated.
Vanessa

Hahahahaha!  Got my own answer to my question.
1: Plug your iPod into your computer.
2: Hold the "HOLD" and the "MENU" button until the iPod goes black and shows the Apple logo again then release the buttons.
3: Wait about 5-15 minutes.
4: Your computer will make a "CHIME" sound and then the iPod will show the locked screen with the battery logo
Let me know if this helps.
COOL!

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

  • IOS 3.1.1 Software Update for iPod touch 1st generation failed.

    The downloading process was stucked in the Thank You screen ("Your update is downloading... ") for more than 2 hours and not going anywhere, nothing was downloaded at the end.  Anybody has the same issue before?
    Reported to the help desk for more than a month, got a reply saying it is an ongoing issue and is still under investigation! 
    I use the same PC to sync my iPad and had no problem to update it with the latest iOS software.
    What could be wrong?

    If, under "Requirements" it say ipod touch, then yes it will work.
    If, under "Requirements" it say iphone, then no.
    Look at the requirements. This is why they are posted in the product description in itunes.

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    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.

  • HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

    If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

  • Will there be a siri update for ipod touch??

    I was wondering if there would be a siri update for ipod touch in the near future.

    Doesnt have the proccessor to run Siri, even i do wish they made a special version for siri to run on this proccessor thou but they have probably already tried it but funky errors or whatevr and they will get complaints for it so they will just drop the subject for the iPod Touch 4G to have siri.
    Not unless u void ur warrenty to do so which we're not allowed to talk about that here.
    so thats y they created the iPhone 4S, it does the same basic things with the iphone 4 but iphone 4s with specail new features for the camera and having siri built to it, plus watevr they added it to it that the iphone 4 cant handle it.

    I was downloading the software update for ipod touch 2gen and after it was done downloading it showed that there was an error with my ipod and when i saw it was on the lockscreen loading. its been like this for 4 hours already

    What did the error message say?
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
