IPod touch 3g apps are slow to download, and iOS update is running slow

it's saying on my iTunes it's going to take 6 HOURS for the new iOS update on my 3g device.

You can try downloading the update directly:
iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
To install:
Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded.
Downloading the update for my iPod and iPad alway took hours total with many time-outs.

    There are other repair companies for the touch/iPhone. Google them, you might find a lower price.

  • Updated new version 4.3.3 to iPod touch,now apps are not working?how can I restore to previous use?

    After updating, if u push on an icon it flashes and goes straight back to mainscreen.. How can I fix this problem? Or restore it to before updating 4.3.3?

    There is no legitimate way of downgrading the iOS version.
    Try in order:
    - Restting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • ITunes stops responding when sign in on laptop, but not on iPod touch. It tries to start downloads and then freezes???

    I bought an album from the store in iTunes, and it froze, every time i now open iTunes it works fine, untill i sign in to my account, at which point the 'wheel of doom' appears, and iTunes stops responding. However i can (and have) access my store account from my ipod touch, and have downloaded the material, but this has not cleared the downloads through for my laptop, and the same problem occurrs every time i sign in.
    Any help would be much appreciated, i have checked my connection and firewall settings, and made sure that all the software is up to date too ???

  • TS1702 My Ipod touch froze right when I was downloading the iOS 6.

    I really need it fixed, I do not have time to go to the store and replace it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My add-on's aren't working since upgrading...are their pdf download and screengrab updates available anywhere?

    My 'pdf download' by Nitro and the Screengrab! 0.96.3 is incompatible with FireFox 7.0.1.
    Are there other add-on's that will perform these functions that are compatible with the updated version of FF, or will I need to uninstall the latest FF update in order to continue using these features?
    Also, Java Console is now disabled and nothing compatible for it either, updates are unavailable....etc.

    1.) Locate "C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc/hosts". Copy the "hosts" file onto your desktop as a backup if any errors may occur during the process.
    2.) As an administrator, open the "hosts" file inside "etc" folder with Notepad and erase the last lines related to gs-apple that looks like this:
    "#127.0.0.1 gs·apple·com"
    3.) Restart iTunes if opened and connect your device after it is in DFU mode.
    4.) Casually do a restore like normal, and you're done.
    5.) After restore is completed, replace the "hosts" file inside the "etc" folder with the backup you've copied onto your Desktop to prevent possible future errors. Hope this works!

  • Problems with my downloading app on my iPod touch 4 like when it's downloading I can't pause like I used to be able to and I can't delete it while its downloading ever since I downloaded IOS 6 I have been having problem like these

    I also can't tilt on certain apps like I'm able to do so like before I downloaded iOS 6 you know when on certain apps you can tilt your iPod and the screen is going to follow your iPod right. Well I can't do that anymore and it is considerably a lot slower than before and don't tell me it's my iPod that's slower when I had iOS 5 it used to be able to do all this. Somebody got to fix this.

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
    Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
    Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.
