ITune fails to "download" iOS 5....

Hi,
I've been trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
I use iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Windows Seven, French version, in Paris.
I tried about 6 times and it fails the same way whatever happen
(I disabled the firewall, then the anti-virus, I also tried to "keep the connection" by going regularly on the iTunes Store, etc...).
Simply put, when the download reaches about 380 MB out of 700 MB, I have a message like '...problem, the network connection expired...'.
The newtork is just fine!
I have an effective bandwidth of about 11 MBits/s and I am able to download large files.
So, my guess is that iTunes must have some sort of problem when "dealing with the file".
==> How to upgrade iOS 5 when iTunes fails ? and I don't want to lose my data... :-)
Thanks for any help

First... Check that your Device is a 3rd Gen...

If it is... See Here > Updating to iOS 5 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If it is a 2nd Gen... then you are at the end of the road for updates...

ITunes Fails To Download iOS For iPod Touch In Recovery

I have an iPod Touch 5 (without camera) that was messed with by someone and ended up disabled for 45 years. As waiting 45 years until I can put in the pass code is not practical, *snickers* I put the iPod into Recovery Mode and went to restore it on iTunes (latest version running on Windows 8), and it wants to update the software to the latest version with the restore. All is well and it starts downloading the around 1.4GB software download. My internet is fairly slow currently. It will get awhile in (about 70-80mb) and a message pops up saying that the internet connection timed out or some similar message appears. When I try again it completely restarts the download. I have tried about three times. I have also restarted the computer. How can I get it to download or even skip the update completely? I have 45 years but id like to get it fixed sooner. lol

It is safe to use but frequently the iPod encountered an error and got the iPod in recovery mode and you have to restore the iPod to correct the error,

Why am I getting "failed to download iOS 8.11." Error? (iPad Air)

I've been trying to upgrade my iPad Air to iOS 8.1 for the past two days but i keep getting download errors to the effect of "failed to download iOS 8.1".
I've tried direct update from my iPad and via iTunes on my MBP 2011 and get the same error on both.
I don't think its my intermet connection as I've downloaded Yosemite since i started getting the errors with no problem.
There is over 7GB free space on the iPad so it's not a space issue.
Any ideas?

Hi Are you using a PC or Downloading over wifi I never use a PC for downloads Try a Reboot press & hold down power button & menu button hold both down until You see Apple Logo Then try download over your wifi If this doesn't work Rest ipad back to Factory Settings This will get rid of any bugs Then just sign in with same Apple ID then you will get al your Apps & data back Then download iOS 8.1 Cheers Brian

There were no error codes. I went to the download site and started to download. Popup window appeared and then when I clicked on save, the window disappeared, but no download appeared in the download folder.
many thanks.
Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

ITunes won't download iOS 8 during restore

I have tried many times now to restore my iPod touch 5g with iTunes, however, iTunes never fully downloads iOS 8.1 To begin the restore. It gets to about 639MB then iTunes tries to process the file. It then says to check my internet connection. I've tried to do this on 3 different wifi networks with excellent wifi signal. I believe this is a problem with iTunes or maybe the server that the file is being downloaded from. Any help would be appreciated.

Go here and download the firmware (to your Desktop) for your model. Then connect your iPod to iTunes, hold your Option key down when clicking on Restore and select the firmware on your Desktop that you downloaded. It should install and update your unit.

My IPAD2 failed to download ios 8 via wifi and itunes

I tried to download IOS 8 via wifi and I got an error message that the download failed. I tried to download via ITunes and got the error message network failure. I did this numerous times both ways. My Iphone 5S downloaded fine via wifi.

I have similar problem on an iPad. I have FIOS with 83 meg download speeds. According to apple my download will take 32 hours. They are having a problem and are not addressing it. This is the third day I have been getting this problem. How do we get apple to tell us what is going on. I am willing to cooperate but need to know what to do.

My iphone4 is connected to my PC and the display is showing iTunes and connect lead, note, it failed to download IOS update. I'm being asked to restore factory settings on ITunes, if I do this will I lose all my photos, contacts, messages,

I have an iPhone4 and after being connected to my PC iTunes failed to update the IOS software. The phone display now shows the iTunes symbol and asking me to connect the lead. If I do so, iTunes detects phone in recovery mode and asks me to restore before I can use iTunes. If I select it, will it delete all my photos, videos, contacts and messages? Please note: I'm not an apple expert so would need help on this....
regards Haley Stone

Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

ITunes fails to download.

iTunes fails to load with windows XP. Getting error message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling my correct." Reinstalling does not correct. It appears associated with temporary files but deleting them and restarting does not help. Can you help me?

pal I have searched the apple site before posting my question. i have found other people having the same probleme. the amazing thing is the answers of apple tech. staf (insisting on blaming the AV and firewall). from my experiance I can say that AV and firewall has nothing to do with this issue what so ever (at least in my case),, why?
1-beacause failure of download occures after downloading around 300 MB or so. there's no reason for the AV or firewall to allow downloading 300 mb then block the remaining.
2- disabling AV and firewall wont help
3-it's only with apple site
4- download is so slow
5- resuming download never worked, always start from the begining wich indicates programming errors not firewall errors
cheers

Fail to download IOS 8.1

I try to download iOS 8.1 by using iTunes but it come like this pic
Can anyone help me what should i do ??
My OS X is Yosemite installed on MBP 2011

Try again as it says. Another thing to research, I had an issue where a setting on my router was corrupting downloads over a few megs in size. So you may want to google your router's make and model and see if there's an issue with larger downloads.
You can always try a different connection if you have one you can use. Or if you're using wireless to download, see if you can try it plugged into the router (wired instead of wireless)

Failed to download iOS 5 on iPod touch - please help?

I've tried to download iOS5 onto my iPod touch, following the instructions to first wipe it and restore it - it restore with the old 4. version, not the iOS5. How can I get it to download iOS 5? Thanks

Are you sure you have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch? Only those generation iPod Touch models can be updated to iOS 5. If you have a 2G iPod Touch, it can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
See here to help you identify what generation iPod Touch you have.

ITunes fails to download artwork for each and every album!

Hi!
The Get Artwork feature seems to totally fail. Right clicking an album, then Get Artwork, gives error: "Artwork for [band name] - [album] could not be found".
This happens for every album I have, even though all my MP3s are correctly tagged with the Artist name and album.
Any suggestions?

Do you get an error message when you try to download iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

TS3212 iTunes fails to download

I just got a new laptop and am trying to download iTunes. It will download a little but, the farthest being 40%, but then it fails and says it isnt a valid Win32 application. I have Windows 7 and probably the newest Internet Explorer.

HT3951 iTunes failed to download to iPad - no other device

I purchased an audio book - this has been paid for. But there was a problem with the download. I am not able to resume download as iTunes does not recognise a purchase has been made. There is no copy in iCloud. I have tried to go back to the book in iTunes but it says 'purchase' or preview. Advice would be helpful!

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so if it didn't download successfully to the Music app, and it's not in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app for resuming, then you will need to contact iTunes Support to get a re-download.
By 'no other device' do you mean that you haven't got a computer to do 'report a problem' from your purchase history ? If you have a computer : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If you don't have a computer (or if the above 'report a problem' doesn't work, which for some people it doesn't appear to, it takes them to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purhcases, Billing & Redemption
