IPod Touch Updating to OS 3.1 & Windows Connection Issues Possible Solution

Hi everyone,
I may have found a solution to "there was a problem downloading ..." error message. I had recently setup some content filtering on my router, and after disabling it, my iPod Touch 2nd gen is finally updating to OS 3.1.1. Please note that this may be common and this maybe due to keyword filtering, for example: xxx or w4m, etc; apparently, somewhere in the link to download the new OS, the content filter ends up blocking the download.
So checkout your routers or content filtering software and temporarily disable the filters until the update is complete.

You will get a prompt to restore, or set up as a new ipod. you dont want to restore from the windows machine, and dont want to set it up as a new ipod. you should restore it on the mac, after the update.

  • My new computer freezes in my iPod Touch update (3.1.3)

    I was installing the new update for my 3rd generation ipod touch (update 3.1.3) and my computer that work with Windows 7 freezes. It was the new i7 processor that freezes and the only to debug my computher is to press the big button. After, I debug my iPod using the 2 buttons on my iPod pressing 10 seconds. When I plog my iPod on iTunes, it said that the ipod needs a restore and then install the update... but iTunes said that it was impossible. I think that iTunes said that it was the error 1604. Now, on my iPod screen, it said to plog my iPod to iTunes but my problem persist.
    Thank you to help me with my problem.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    do you have any firewall or anti virus software active during the restore process? If yes, disable it and try again to restore. Also make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

    How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch. 

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • My  iPod touch screen says it is disabled.  Connect to iTunes.  When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything.  Any ideas?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • IPod Touch Update 1.1.1 - Unknown error occurred, Wiped my iPod

    I attempted the iPod Touch Update 1.1.1. The software downloaded completely, then the progress dialog appeared that it was preparing my iPod for the update. After a lengthy delay I received an error dialog saying that an unknown error had occurred(1602).
    After looking through my logs, the only relevant entry I can find is the following in iPodUpdater 3.log:
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: device connected (isDFU = 0)
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: error getting plugin interface for device: 0xe00002be
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: an erorr occurred handling a connected device: 0x7d1
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: _AMRecoveryModeDeviceFinalize: 0x14caa540
    This failure left that initial screen of the iPod plugin and iTunes symbol. I closed iTunes and relaunched it, as my iPod wasn't listed in the devices list. Upon relaunch, the iPod was detected but an error dialog appeared and said that my iPod was in a recovery state and had to be restored in order to work. So I restored my iPod and it updated it to 1.1.1.
    I have done nothing special to my iPod, I've only had it for a few days, but this update wiped my iPod clean. This is absolutely unacceptable for an update and I am very disappointed in Apple for this. They claim they are keeping the platform locked so things like this don't occur, but clearly it isn't helping.

    So far, I have never had a glitch like the one described here on my Ipods, but have read similar stories everywhere. This happens on Pocket PC PDAs as well.
    I've used my dubious firmware patching abilities to (as they say) brick a couple of things over the years, including a fairly nice Vaio. There was a time (after walking 10 miles through the snow, uphill both ways) that a failed firmware update meant that your computer was useful only as a doorstop if something went wrong.

  • New iPod Touch update deletes everything

    When installing new iPod Touch update, all songs and photos were deleted. Restore from back up you say? I tried, and iTunes said it was backing everything up before it installed the update but when it didn't, This isn't really a question, but Apple needs to fix this for future updates.

    The backup that iTunes makes does not include music, and other items like synced photos that are synced to the iPod.  If these items are not on the computer/iTunes library on the computer on which the update was performed, the items will not be on the iPod after the update.  The following lists what is included in the backup.

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

    The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
    Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
    Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
    Other infomation that may assist in answers:
    -The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
    -All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
    -There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
    -The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
    -My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
