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,

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • How do i get an older ios for ipod touch?

    how do i get an older ios version for ipod touch?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • Mac's iTunes can't download to upgrade iPod Touch to v2.1?

    Hello.
    Earlier, I was trying to update an iPod Touch to v2.1 but I ran into problems with iTunes v8.01's download in Mac OS X/Leopard v10.5.5 on a MacBook Pro. iTunes said:
    "There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
    There was a problem downloading ÒiPhone 2.0 Software Update / iPhone 2.0 Software Update. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.

    I noticed iTunes' download said 4 KB downloaded and had resume option which failed with the same errors.
    At first, I thought it was maybe because Mac OS X account level was at "standard". So, I changed it to administrator level, logged off, and relogged in to retry. I got the same errors again.
    So I decided to log off and log in with the other account with administrator access. That worked (downloaded, restoring iPod Touch which is still processing as I type this). Also, this was a brand new iTunes account and sharing music files with other accounts on MacBook Pro if they matter.
    What happened so I can fix this for future downloads and upgrades. Thank you in advance.

    Anyone? Bumped.

  • 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".

    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...

  • Cant download apps for ipod touch

    I cant download apps to my ipod touch." Authorization failed. Please connect to itunes " always pop out. Pls help.

    it's up to the app creators whether they are going to continue to create updates that are backwards compatible - if they choose to make newer updates so they will only work with current software then you are pretty much stuck.
    btw. a few questions on here are different. if your questions aren't EXACTLY the same as an original post, it's better that you start a new thread, it's much easier for us to reply and easier for people to find their responses.

  • Which is latest version of iOS for iPod Touch?

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch.  I'm not sure which generation.  iTunes doesn't tell me.  Does anyone know how to find that out?
    I'm running iOS 6.1.6.  iTunes says I have the latest version.  I'm fairly sure this is one of the most recent generation iPod Touch models.  Are some models not allows to upgrade to iOS7?

    You have a 4G iPod.
    . As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
