IPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad .... network settings

"iPad update Error- There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad X you do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Make sure your network settings are correct and your connection is active, or try again." is the error. The rest of iTunes, sycning, and ipad operations work. I am on OSX 10.6.8. iTunes is the most recent addition.
I've been having this problem for a while but it has yet to go away. Any help please?

OK. Good. The most likely culprit is either your firewall or anti-virus software. Temporarily disable both while you are doing the update (then, of course, turn them back on when you are done).

Ipad ios 4.2 update error - "there was a problem downloading the software..

Hi All -
Super excited to get 4.2.1 up and running. I had the buggy beta of 4.2 running on my iPad but now when I try to restore my iPad to get the most recent version of 4.2.1 running, I get this error:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource was not found.
I've restarted iTunes and the computer and I'm still getting the same error. I've looked for the .ipsw file online but can't seem to find it anywhere. It's not an Apple's Support/Downloads section either.
Anyone know where to download the new update? I'm dying without Airplay, Airprint and so on not working here.
Thanks!

Hi,
this should have been addressed by Apple I guess, but luckily we found out the solution in the company. Yesterday all our iPads (with 4.2 beta iOS for dev) stopped working, displayed the Connect to iTunes scrren and throw errors when trying to sync like 'The requested resource was not found' (when tried to Restore) and Error Code: 0xE800005D (when iTunes first just tried to reinstall apps).
Here is what we did to reanimate all four iPads in the company:
First you need to enter Recovery mode with the iPad, then recover the iOS software (probably the latest). Here is how to do it:
1) Fire up iTunes on your computer, and plug in the USB cable in the computer, but not in the iPad!
2) Do a hard reset, ie. press and hold down Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously, don't bother with the switch off prompt, just keep pushing the buttons.
3) When the screen goes blank, but before the Apple logo comes up, release the Sleep/Wake button and quickly plug in the USB into the iPad too. Keep pushing the Home button, until the Recovery mode dialog in iTunes comes up.
4) Act according to the prompts, and wait for the image to download and extract (can be 10-15 minutes depending on your internet connection, the image is some 550Mb).
That's it, you can safely restore your apps and other content to your recovered iPad.
Hope this helps,
David

HT201210 I keep getting the error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The host is down?

I keep getting the error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The host is down?

Thanks so much for your reply. In the meantime, everything else is working. I called Apple support and they were very unhelpful, wanted to charge me for support on a phone I'm trying to get rid of to upgrade to the iPhone 5, but, I can't get rid of it until I synch it to my computer.... Any suggestions to see what's blocking it?

A couple of App updates downloaded successfully. Some don't. What do I need to do/change to get a download to finish so I can get all my app updates?

Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

Hi,
I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
but all the time i am getting the following error.
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
pls help me to downgrade my device.
I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
Regards
Ram

You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

Itunes error: "There was a problem downloading "AroundMe".

Ever since I downloaded the AroundMe app, I've been getting this error whenever I opened Itunes: There was a problem downloading "AroundMe". Part of the file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose "Check for Available Downloads " from the Store Menu.
I tried redownloading and deleting the app in Itunes, but it poped up the same error. At next open Itunes, the error will come back.
What should I do?
Thanks.

Hello mjswooosh,
I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.

I am having trouble downloading ios5 with the error "there was a problem downloading the software.The network connection timed out. Please help!!!

Please can someone help me with my error message. I cannot download the new software IOS 5.0.1. My phone is double slow now..

Disable your firewall and antivirus software while you do the download and update. (Guessing you are using a Windows PC)

I continuously get this error: "There was a problem connecting to .mac. The request timed out"

I don't have a .mac acct - never have had one. I have moved my Aperture library to an external harddrive - and changed that to the library. It seems like I started having this problem around that time but I'm not sure. When I get the error I click "OK" and it goes away, only to re-pop a minute later. Tried running the reset permissions thing a few times. The only response I found in the forums was from a couple years ago where they WERE trying to connect to .mac
Aperture 3.1.2

Strange, I got this error for the first time last night. I have a 27" iMac (late 2010 model); with latest Aperture. I recently added a Flickr account (have had a Facebook account on there for some time). I was uploading some to my flickr account, and noticed that even though the "use actual size" setting was used, it was uploading tiny thumbnails and not the full version.
It was after this, that I got that error. I haven't tried it again, as I'm now on my macbook at work. Will try again tonight.
I've also, NEVER had a .mac account, so no possibility of it being a legacy account.

I am getting this error: "There was a problem downloading i0S 3.3.3 Software Update for an iPod touch". An unknown error occurred (8288)."

I have a first gen iPod running on 2.2.1 that will not upate to 3.3.1. after purchasing the update from Apple. How do I get a refund or, if possible actually get it to update? I'd like to be able to use some new apps like Netflix and Facebook, but most apps now require newer at least 3.3.1.

- Try uninstalling iTunes version 10.5 and instlaling 10.4. You will have to Google to find it.
- Otherwise contact iTunes:
Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

There was a problem downloading ... An unknown error has occured -42018...

Dear all,
After upgrading to i-tunes 7 I'm not able anymore to download music. If I run diagnostics everything seems fine.

However downloading the songs I bought doesn't work.
Following error:
"There was a problem downloading "...". An unknown error has occured (-42018). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
But my network is active and the diagnostics turn out OK. Please help me out!! I have songs to be downloaded that I have already payed for.

This didn't work for me, but to any who may be interested, I also was experiencing unknown error -42018 when attempting to download purchased music. Additionally, I was stuck in an endless authorization loop when attempting to play previously purchaed music. All this started when I installed the latest iTunes software 7.0.2. But I managed to fix the problem on my machine.
I run windows XP Pro, and unlike the majority of users I actually set it up correctly with a dedicated administrator account, and regular user accounts instead of just running as admin all the time. For me, that was the cause of the problem.
The new version of iTunes software required FULL CONTROL privilages on the iTunes and iPod install directories for all user accounts that were using the program. (Previous versions worked fine, so this is a new thing.) Once I provided those permissions, iTunes worked correctly. Follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040 for information on how to provide FULL CONTROL to every user account.
I hope you all find this helpful in solving your problem.
Good Luck,
Bill

Hi Guys,
I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
Please help, very frustrating!
Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?
