IPod touch 5.1 Wi-Fi Software Update doesn't work

Hi.
My existing iPod touch (firmware 5.0.1) Wi-Fi connection to my router works fine.
However I tried to update to firmware 5.1 now. No success. The Software Update starts showing 174 MB to go, but the progress bar doesn't fill. After #5 minutes, the iPod touch shows a failed upgrade message.
When I connect this iPod touch to an iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot (which is connected via 3G to the Internet), the update starts!
Are there any known issues doing a Software Update using router?
I use a FRITZ!Bos 7390.
Thanks,

Try changing the DNS server on the iPod. See:

I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)

I recently updated me iPod touch to the IOS 6 software update. My ipod will turn on so I can see the Apple logo, but after a few seconds it turns blank. What do I do?

My iPod touch's screen is not working. I shut it off and turned it back on a hundred times. No matter what I do, it will not work. What do I do?

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.

I purchased a book on itunes. It shoes up in itunes but not in ibook on my ipod touch. I tried rebooting, syncing, updating. Nothing works. Can anyone help me?

A book I purchased from itunes store downloaded OK and shows up on my PC but does not show up in ibooks on my ipod touch. I tried manually syncing and rebooting which did not help. From the pc in the itunes store the book shows up in the purchased list. From the ipod, the purchased list from the store is empty. Actually, the book does not exist when trying to search for it at the store from the ipod. I'm confused. Any solution or suggestion?

The book is in ibooks format. The extension is ".ibooks". I did delete it from itunes and download it again from the store a few times. I tried updating my ibooks app. I even sent it to the ipod through dropbox. I looked through all the settings I could find in itunes and ipod. So far no matter what I do, ibooks does not see this book.

Hi,
Try a Reset... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...
You may have to try this several times...

Software Updater doesn't work, can't shut down my mac

Hi,
I am using the Mac OS 10.5 and have a problem with my Software Updater. If I open the "Software Updater" from the Apple-Menu nothing happens, if i press on the button "Software Updater" in the "About this Mac" window, again no reaction. If I open the "System Preferences" and click there on "Search" in the window "Software Updater" again nothing happens.
I have another problem which might occured at the same time as the discribed above. If I shutdown my mac it starts shutting down but then goes to the LogIn menu of my account, if i try to shut it down there it starts shutting down and comes back to the logIn menu.
The problem startet to occure after I ones interrupted the software update.
Yesterday I installed the Combo Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 (before 10.5.5) which I downloaded from the Apple website, but it didnt help. Basicaly before I installed the update the buttons for the Sofware Updater couldnt even been clicked and if I was shutting down the notebook it went to this supernova background picture which I had when i was turning on my mac for the first time.
Any ideas how i can solve this problems? Searched the web but could find anything.
Thanks in advace

It sounds like the aborted software update messed up your system.
I'd opt for an Archive & Install of Mac OS X using your Leopard DVD.

My iPod touch 4th gen white's home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.

My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time. This is very annoying. Why is it doing this?

- Try a reset. It cures many ills and 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.

1st Gen. iPod touch wont turn on. Home button doesn't work. Can't reset.

Hi there. My 1st generation iPod touch wont turn on. The battery has drained completely, and the few times this happened in the past, I could just reset it by holding the home and top buttons, the iPod would turn on, I could plug it in, and then it would charge--no problems. However, now the home button does not work, so I cannot reset it. When I plug it in to the charger, the Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears. Also, if I hold the top button for about 2 seconds, the same thing happens (Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears). So, it doesn't turn on, wont reset due to the home button not working, and can't connect to the computer or iTunes. However, it still has some life in it because the Apple logo always appears when it's plugged in or when I hold the top button. Can anybody help? Thanks.

If the iPod still has its original battery, it could be that the battery finally bit the dust.

My iPod touch screen is white but resetting it doesn't work. What do I do?

I turned on my iPod touch and the screen was white with blue pixelations. I tried holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds to reset it but it just went black and then restarted with a white screen again. I don't know if it's something I can fix by restoring it on iTunes or if I have to send it in to get it repaired. Any suggestions?

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

27" display and late '09 MBP 13" - Display software update **doesn't work**

Hello All,
My shiny new 27" LED cinema display arrived today. The display is stunning, but when I downloaded and installed the "LED Cinema Display Software Update 1.0" (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1107) on my mid-'09 MBP 13" it doesn't work!!
The installation completes successfully, but after rebooting and checking system preferences, I don't get the brightness slider etc nor the option to use the built-in speakers in the display.
Please advise if you have any advice or thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks,
Rob

Apple got hold of me and we went through some trouble-shooting steps. Turns out that the USB connector, although fully plugged in, was somehow not seated correctly and was thus not recognizing the display and speaker etc.
Happily resolved!

Software Update doesn't work

I just upgraded from Tiger to Leopard (10.5.2) and I've been getting quite a few error messages since then (application quit unexpectedly) with various programs, but the one that concerns me most is if I manually go into Software Update. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?

I know I was having a lot of problems with apps loading when I was still running Tiger, (and later found out because they weren't compatible with the old OS.)
Are you sure you did a complete upgrade? It sounds like it may not have done a full install.
Try reinstalling 10.5.2 COMPLETE INSTALL, and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

Software Update doesn't work after new SSD install

I just installed a new SSD into my five year old MacBookPro (CoreDuo). I am taking the opportunity to reinstall from the ground up, getting rid of a lot of the cruft I've gathered over the years. I installed 10.6 fresh from the DVD and then ran software update. I could update iTunes, Airport, etc, but couldn't run the 10.6.6 combo updater. I was told that the file was corrupted during download and wouldn't expand.
I downloaded the standalone combo updater from the website and that worked fine. However, when I went to install the drivers for my printers via the System Preferences function, I get the same error. Is there a setting or something that I missed?

In 10.6.8 Apple won't allow Mac's to connect to WEP Encrypted networks, and won't reconnect to "hidden" networks automatically.

It sounds like you are fairly new to the upgrade process. Here's the basic gist of what makes updates succeed:
