IPod touch, iPad 2, or my pc won't download from iTunes.

For two days I have been trying to download/update apps on my iPod touch and iPad 2. Any app I download will get half way done and then I get a message saying it can't download try again later. I have also tried to download/update on my pc. Apps will get about 10 mb downloaded and then go back to zero, and it does this about three times before giving me an error. Not really sure what is going on.

Hello jkjr,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are not able to to update some of your applications on your iPod touch and iPad 2 through the App Store on your device or through iTunes. I found a tutorial for the iPhone that will guide you through steps to troubleshoot this. The steps would also work for an iPod touch or iPad. You can skip the first two sections and start from the section called "Close app":

I hope this helps!

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

my iPod touch does not respond, I'm trying to restore from itunes but it does not work

What exactly happens when yu ty to restore?
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.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

I have a MacPro without the updated IOS 7, just purchased an iPod Touch with IOS7, will I be able to download my iTunes library without upgrading my MacPro? I have to keep my computer on old system due to investigation of white collar hacker/frenemy.

Allan Eckert, my guess is that my reply did not show up until the OPs posted her reply. That problem seems to have restarted this morning. See the post in the Lounge>Community Operations forum for more info.

Ipod touch 2G is black screen and won't restore in Itunes (error 21)

I have aquired an Ipod touch 2g 16g that I was hoping to make a present to my daughter with. The device is I guess what is called "Black Screen of Death". I can't get any image to display on the Ipod when trying to charge (which it apparenlty accepts) the item or when trying to connect it to Itunes. Itunes recongizes the item in recovery mode, and attempts to restore the item and consistantly gives the error 21 message. I am using Windows 7 and have tried to restore the device on a laptop running Win XP with the exact same results. The screen will turn white during the process, and the machine will from what I have read and believe go into DFU mode, but it stops with error 21. I am a Noob and have googled and googled for a week now with no luck. I have tried the reinstallation of Itunes, all the updates to both Itunes and the machine, no security software, the works. I tried connecting it to older son's laptop running Win 7 which he uses for his Ipod 2g 32 gig without problems. My device was recognized on his machine, and he said on his Itunes he briefly saw songs on the device he did not have on his machine/device in his library before it hung again in the recovery mode loop. I have read different articles and tutorials on jailbreaking and tried loading just the 'oem" firmware from apple with Redsnow and thought i was successful. The device went through the process of white screen, several boots/dings of on my PC, and then an image appeared on the Ipod of "loading Jailbreak data". After a few moments/minutes it then began what I believe is displaying the "verbose" booting running the lines of text on the screen. I then notice it to stop and give me an error of something to the affect of init failed, and then a "lan error, watchdog timeout, giving up, a long pause, then quick scrolls down the screen and reboot back to white screen. Holding the power button or home/power button puts it right back to a black screen and in the Itunes recovery mode loop/error 21 again. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue before I pull what's left of my hair out. I would love to get this working for my daughter before her birthday. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Common, no one has any ideas? Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process. I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed. Someone has got to know something. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea. Thanks

Movie Won't Download from iTunes on iPad

I recently purchased two movies from iTunes using a gift card I got for Christmas. I started the download and once the first movie got too about 3.2 GB of 6.2' it stopped and started over for no apparent reason. I tried multiple times to download both movies with no luck the first 24 hours. Was hoping to have it for my flight for my vacation. Over the course of the next three days I have tried downloading the first movie at least 15 times on various WiFi networks, It always begins the download and then either restarts it on it's own or now gives me an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. I finally got the second movie to download after 10 attempts, but still no luck with the first. I know for certain I had a continuous WiFi connection every time. I am EXTREMELY frustrated at this point. I still have remaining dollars to spend from my gift card, but figure why even bother? I really hope someone can give me an idea which works. So far I have deleted the beginning download on multiple occasions and also tried restarting after this 4 times and nothing seems to work.

I have been having this problem since iOS 7 released. I have a 32gb 3rd gen iPad. I seem to have some artificial cap of 7 items from iTunes on my iPad at once. Even with 6 movies I have 5.8gb left. I only download the SD versions.
As soon as I hit 7 movies/tv shows on my iPad downloads fail almost 100% of the time. They get near the end, freeze and then loop. Ocassionally I'll get a "Unable to download" error but most times it just keeps going over and over. Not only do I have this extremely annoying issue, but during this problem my iPad becomes nearly unusable. While downloading, my iPad runs so poorly I'll open my cover or press the wake button and the screen will remain off. I can press both buttons, open/close the cover and NOTHING. It will stay like that for a minute sometimes. IF it becomes usable apps will take 30 seconds just to open/close, scrolling is unresponsive for many seconds at a time and then scrolls all at once. It almost as if the download is using all of the CPU's power.
I have 253 movies I've bought in iTunes. I own 6 Apple TV's, 2 Retina Macbooks, 1 iMac, 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. iTunes works great on all of those devices minus my iPad. My wife's, which is the same model minus a cell connection is fine. I am extremely annoyed with this problem. I've started to loathe using my iPad and thats just rediculous.
If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, I've tried these fixes:
Erased all content/settings and restored from iCloud Back up
Erased all content/settings and restored but DID NOT use iCloud back up. (I did notice downloads worked great for the first few weeks, then went to crap.)
Tried force restarting the iPad when its acting up
Used my Time Capsule's Wifi - No change
Used my guest network from my Netgear router - No Change
Used my parent's wifi today - No change.
This doesnt seem to be a widespread problem, I've had trouble finding help on these forums. Apple is constantly silent and most other users never reply with the same problem. I'm close to giving up and getting a replacement from Square Trade. I will not buy a new iPad less than two years after getting that one, mainly out of protest. I have little confidence in the Air doing much better or lasting longer than this current one.

Music won't download from itunes to iphone

Hiya,
I have purchased music from Itunes App on my iPhone (4S with iOS7 update) and now it won't download to my music without being connected to the computer. There are no restrictions to my data usage, iCloud is correctly signed in. I have no trouble downloading other apps or books; only music. Can anyone help me fix it please? (Obviously I could just plug my phone into the computer and do it that way but I'd like to be able to download without doing so)
Thanks in advance,
evdv317

I suspect this is the reason you can not download any more music from the cloud.
Don't you have backups of your personal data you can restore from?

TS2743 My podcast won't download from iTunes for anyone, anymore

Hi guys! I am the owner/host of Dorktown Podcast. Sadly most listeners (me included) are not able to download our shows off of iTunes. It has been on there for seven years and has been fine previously and nothing has changed from the feed. You can stream it but it won't download. The podcast feed and files are fine as they work on all other formats (including Stitcher). There is plenty of space on peoples phones or computer for the download.I
When I report the problem directly on iTunes it keeps telling me I've 'timed out' after I send the report even though it's only taken me seconds to paste the report and send it.
Please please please I hope somebody can help as it's driving me crazy that people can no longer download off iTunes.
Thank you! -Mike

I subscribed to the URL http://www.walkingoliver.com/pak/wopodcast_xmlfeed1.xml in iTunes and episode 8 started downloading successfully. So perhaps the problem is solved?

IPhone won't download from iTunes

My phone won't download stuff from iTunes. It will show it downloading all the way but then will say Download Error, tap to retry

Ah, if that's the case (which it could be) or if it was pulled too early, you may want to restore the device:

When I try to restore my iPod touch 4g with the ios 5.1.1 downloaded on iTunes, I get either error 3194 or 16xx. How do I fix this? I'd rather not dish out $200 for a new iPod.

Just tried restoring and it's stuck at "Preparing iPod for restore..." and the iPod is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen.

The following provides instructions for resolving those errors.

TV shows won't download from iTunes on iPhone or iPad

I am using all of the latest iPhone software, I am on wi-fi, with plenty of space available (>5GB).
-Open iTunes app store app
-Buy any TV SHOW (SD Edition)
-Buy button turns into "Downloading". Red badge appears in download portion of iTunes App. (expected behavior)
-Unexpected behavior: Red badge disappears. "Downloading" button turns back into "Download" button. Badge disappears from download area. Nothing downloaded.
This also happens if I try to download any TV show from the cloud.

Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name in the left sidebar under the Devices heading - and then select Transfer Purchases from the pop up. That should transfer the movies into your iTunes library on your PC.
