Is there a script to download iOS updates?

I have a Mac and several iOS devices.  I have the Mac Yosemite Server app.  As I understand it, the Cache system will maintain a backup of each iOS update that I download, but since each update seems to be unique for each iOS device, that doesn't do much good except if I need to 'download' the file again for the same device.  Is there a way, with a script or a Mac app, to schedule these downloads during downtime, either late at night or during the day when I'm at work?
I could envision, for security and propriety's sake, that I might need to dock each of my devices to my Mac to initiate the connection.  But once it has detected that an update is available, it allows me to schedule the download into the Cache for a future update.  Once the download is scheduled, I could disconnect the device from the Mac.
There are several reasons why this might be useful.  Myself, I've been getting horrendous download rates for iOS 8.3 updates.  I have a 12Mbps DSL connection, and the 1.44 Mb file for the iPod Touch should take 24 minutes at best speed, if I've calculated correctly.  My downloads have run for 7-10 HOURS and not finished, and I'm pretty sure it isn't me.  So I'd like to schedule things for better downtime.  Other conditions might be if I wanted to plan for the update, but I want to stream a movie or TV show now.
I saw that another user has a satellite connection, and has unlimited downloads in the middle of the night, so he'd like to schedule the downloads.  People suggested download management software, or an odd hack.  I was thinking that the Server app supports Xcode, so there might be a solution there.
And perhaps someday this feature might be added to the Server app itself.  After all, it benefits Apple to have people access their servers during slower times, if such a thing exists. 
Further: what if the Server app, or just the Mac OS itself, could poll the Apple servers periodically during a window of time that I specify, and get a response that either this was a good time to download files now, or there should be a good period in, say, 16 minutes.  Basically, have the two computers work out an appointment for the download, similar to making a reservation at a restaurant.  The Apple server doesn't even necessarily have to store my information about the appointment, just allocate a start time that my computer will take advantage of, and give my computer a passcode to access the appointment.  If my computer doesn't connect within, say, 60 seconds of that appointment time, the appointment is cancelled and my computer has to get a new appointment.  It could even be penalized, and not allowed to make a new appointment for at least 5 minutes.

    what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!
    Tiffany
    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

    When I use my Adobe updater I get the following errors:

    But the files it says to download do not exist there.
    Photoshop says "Extend Script Toolkit 3.5.1 update" but I can't find that anywhere.
    When I try the others it just opens the updater, says downloading, and then when it finishes downloading it fails the update.

  • Unable to download iOS updates

    I'm having issues with downloading iOS updates through iTunes. I tried downloading iOS 4.3 and recently 4.3.1 but no luck with either. Every single time I download an update through iTunes I get an error once the file has reached 100%. The error that I get is:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection timed out."
    I also get an error code beside the update in iTunes. The error code is 3259.
    I spent a lot of time on Google trying to find a solution but nothing. It seems like the common issue is that a virus scanner or firewall is preventing the file from being properly processed. I don't have a firewall or anti-virus enabled, so I know this isn't the issue.
    I'm on OS X 10.6.7 with iTunes 10.2.1 (latest versions for both).
    To me this issue doesn't have anything to do with my iPhone. It has something to do with iTunes or a setting on my computer. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    You've got an iPhone 4, correct? Here's a link for a direct download of the iOS 4.3.1 file. Download it directly & follow the instructions to install on your phone:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/25/ios-4-3-1-download/
    I suspect something wrong with your iTunes installation. After you update your phone, follow these instructions to completely remove iTunes & reinstall it. Things must be done in a certain order:

    I have a Windows PC - OS: Win 7 Home Premium, SP1
    I recently had to have my hard drive replaced and, as result, had to reinstall the Adobe products I own: Acrobat 10, Premiere Elements & Photoshop 9

    Please advise!! thank you kindly
    (secondary problem: whenever I open Elements or Photoshop and I am asked to log in with my Adobe ID, I get the error message 'Error. Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connections. Error 400'. Now I know photoshop.com was replaced with Revel - but why is it consistently giving me the same error message? shouldn't it be updated by now or, specifically, is this indicative of a different problem when I attempt to login with my Adobe ID??)

    thank you,
    I downloaded updates and installed manually, had to mess around a bit.
    Start the updater from the program first, then install from the download.
    Also, moved plugins that are for Premier from common plugins directory,
    to the Premier plugins directory. Stopped the error I got launching After Effects
    that said to reinstall the plugins.
    Cheers!

    Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
    I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • I am trying to get the updates for CS5 and I keep getting this message   "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."    What does this mean?

    I am trying to update CS5 through the CS5 application.   I hit "updates" in the help menu.   It goes through its series of updates and then says  " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
    I have no idea what this means. Of course, I have retried this….but to no avail. Can somebody help me?

    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.
