IPod Touch/ iTouch won't update correctly to iOS 4.3.1

After syncing my iTouch, I attempted to update the software. After waiting, a message came up saying "Connection has been timed out", or something of that sort. I am currently on iOS ver. 4.2.1, and my iTouch is the 4th generation, aand have the latest version of iTunes. Any help?

Hi mate,
I'm having exactly the same problem (I receive the same error msg as you). Have gone through the Apple help pages, run diagnostics (found no problems) and tried using a USB connection at the back of my computer as suggested, but I still can't update my iPod touch with the 4.3.1 software update. Really frustrating, as it's taking the fun off what should be a great product. Appreciate this doesn't help you but please do provide any updates, workarounds that work for you. Cheers

  • IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

    iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

    If We Update 2nd Gen Ipod Touch From 3.1.3 To Higher Level WilL It Slow my iPod  :/
    I suppose that's debatable.
    My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
    (I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
    By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.

  • IPod touch 4G won't update, -43 error

    My friend in Estonia has a 4G iPod touch.
    iTunes is telling her an update is available.
    She accepts, it backs up - then she gets a -43 error.
    Any ideas?
    Windows 7, iTunes 10.5.

    Hey!!
    After many failed attempts this is what worked for me:
    Step 1. Right click on your phone in the left hand side bar and select Back Up
    Step 2. Restore your phone and use the option where you restore and update
    Step 3. When its done it will ask you to use the back up you previously completed
    Hopefully this works for you!!!

  • IPod touch 4g won't update to iOS 5, ITunes always crashes?????

    My iPod touch 4th gen will not update to iOS 5.  Whenever I connect it to my computer, it asks me to update to iOS 5. If I click okay, it backs up and them starts the update, but them iTunes crashes. If I click not to update, and sync it, it's fine. If I try to restore it, it also crashes after backing up. If I tell it not to update right after I connect my iPod, and update through the iPod summary it doesthe same thing. I have tried to update 15-20 since the update came out and it still hasn't worked. What do I do????????

  • IPod Touch 3G won't update OS properly

    The last two times I've tried to update my iPod Touch 3G to OS 4.3.4 and 4.3.5, iTunes has indicated that the download worked and the update started.  Over an hour later, iTunes still showed "Waiting on iPod" (or a similar message) and the iPod screen showed absolutely NO movement in the progress bar.  I finally held down the Power button unfil the iPod turned off, reconnected it and had to run a restore ... at which point the OS was updated with no problem whatsoever!!  Of course, the restore also wiped out all of my data, so I had to reinstall apps, music and photos.  Does anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it?  After two straight times, this is starting to get old.  My heartfelt thanks to anybody who can resolve this for me.

    Things like that just seem to happens with no known reason.

  • IPod Touch suddenly won't sync after installing iOS 4.0

    I installed the new OS 4.0 and now my ipod touch won't sync. The mac doesn't see it and it doesn't even charge when hooked up. It charges fine with the same cable on a wall charger. My son's ipod is fine, I've restarted the ipod and the mac, I've reset the ipod, i've swapped usb's and cables, no luck. I've tried holding down the lock and power buttons. It's a 32 gig model. My iTunes is version 9.2 (the current version). When I had SW version 3.1.3. I had the same problem with an updated app, but when I updated the app again the problem vanished. I have no way of knowing which app it is or whether its the OS because they all updated at once.

    A couple of things come to mind. If Apple Mobile Device Services is not working properly, your Mac isn't going to see the iPod. You can troubleshoot that problem with some help from this Apple Support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1747
    The other thing that could be happening is a hard drive permissions problem. Chances are you haven't done this in a long time. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utilities and select your hard drive where iTunes is installed. Check off the Repair Permissions box and hit go.

  • Ipod touch 5 won't work after installing IOS 8.2

    I had gotten my Ipod in February from my boyfriend (he bought it brand new from Amazon). Recently, I had tried to install IOS 8.0.2 (the newest one) and I had accidentally shut it down, thinking it would stop the update. Boyfriend told me nothing about not updating it and just waiting. But now it refuses to turn on. there are times when it has the apple logo and it stays for a good 15 seconds but sometimes it will fade away completely. We have tried everything. The Itunes will do the restore thing but then at the end, it will say it can't finish. Help!

    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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - 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.

  • My Ipod touch 3g won't update to ios 5, i get error code 3194, and i checked what that meant. It said i needed to update Itunes, and when i tried, it was already updated. My Ipod is running 4.3.5 HELP!

    Please Help!

    iTunes only allows you to update to the latest iOS which is 5.0.1.
    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) during the download and update usually resolves the problem.

  • My ipod touch 4 won't update some of my apps.

    I can’t update some of my apps it just says installing and doesn’t do anything. I have tried deleting the app and trying to download it again but when I do it says its installing even thou I don’t have the app. What should I do?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - download on computer and sync
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • My iPod touch (5th gen) was updated today to iOS 7.1 and now my charger isn't working. I bought my charger on eBay after the one I received from Apple stopped working. Help?

    I've been using a charger I bought off of eBay for cheap because the one I received with my iPod had stopped working, so instead of paying for a new Apple cord, I went with the cheaper option. It has been working fine up until today. I updated my iPod today to iOS 7.1 and now it won't recognize the cord at all. I'm wondering if anyone had any answers to why this is happening? Or if you have any suggestions as to how I could charge my iPod until I purchase a new cord. Is it smarter to go with an Apple cord, or can I stick with other manufactorers?

    The iOS update made the iPod less tolerent of marginal/fake Lightning cables. All you can do is get a certified Lightning cable. I would get a genuine Apple cable.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now.
