Itunes Won't download my software update..?

Im trying to update my iphone 4 (verizon) to IOS 5 and whenever i try to download it, it stays at 0% downloaded.. or in other words the status bar doesn't move..i have tried to give it time, but it sat for 4 hours and still no progress.

I would try doing it again (running Software Update), immediately after doing a Restart. If it still does not work, both of those updates are available as stand-alone installers.
The latest iTunes (10.6.3) can be downloaded here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
This is the updater for 10.7.4, assuming the current Mac OS X version is 10.7.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1525
If the current Mac OS X Lion version is earlier than 10.7.3, this is the "combo" updater

Can I still download iPod software updates?
Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.
iPod is out of warranty.
This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

Help downloading ipod Software Update

My sister plugged in my new ipod nano to a PC and reformatted it halfway before she unplugged it. PC's won't recognize it, and my Mac says its windows formatted. I think restoring it is my only option. Unfortunately I live on an island and the internet is really slow (it says 10 hours downloading time for the 58MB of the ipod Software Update even though I pay the equivalent of 75 dollars a month for a cable modem!). I'm patient and wouldn't care so much if it weren't for the fact that the internet gets cut off every half hour or so, and the download starts back up from scratch each time (someone's got to tell itunes to incorporate a download manager!!!). I've been trying to download it for three weeks now and still have 0Mb of the download. Is there any way that I can download whatever software I need to restore the ipod through a download manager--I wrote Apple support about this but got no solution. I really don't know what to do. I will NEVER be able to download 58MB here. Please, please help.

That is what they call broadband in Easter Island, the regular telephone connection is 15 hours (we should all protest but that's another story). Anyway, I have a download manager called iGetter, I just don't know how to get iTunes to do the download from there since there is no web address to copy. Thanks for the free download manager web address though...any idea on how I get it to do download the ipod software update or any other kind of ipod nano restore software. Still, I read elswhere that you can only restore through iTunes, could that be true? I looked at the Apple Support Downloads section and there are updaters you can download but they don't support my 3rd generation iPod nano. I'm an Apple fan, I am!, but really, why does it have to start the download from scratch each time? I think more than just 1% of us would be happy if it the download started from where it left off, especially concerning heavy downloads.

Problems trying to download iPod Software Update 2.0

Ive been trying to download the software update for about 3 hours now, but about every 5 minutes or less i get a error saying:
'There was a problem with the iPod software for the iPod "MyName iPod". The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
But, i'm having no problems whatsoever with my connection, it all seems perfectly fine to me.
If anyone could help me at all with any settings that might be able to be changed or something or anything that could stop this message appearing so that my download will actually be able to get somewhere...
Thanks x

I am having this same issue trying to download the 1.1.5 update for my touch, it goes for a while then times out, over and over.
Over the last 18 hours I have tried this update about 30 times and it has failed every time, never at the same point, it downloads a different amount every time but it always stops...
No information from Apple on this issue ? Poor show, I would have expected better from the worlds best computer manufacturer, they give the impression that they think of everything but then it´s little things like this that let them down.

Downloading Ipod software update 3.1.1 but get error 3259

What is wrong? I cannot seem to completely download the software update. After partially downloading the file, an error appears that the connection was timed out. Status: stopped (err = -3259)
I do not have a firewall up nor do I have anti-virus software. I'm running itunes 9.

Ok, I'm told that it's a timeout error due to internet connection. For whatever reason, when I tried downloading it again during the day, it worked fine. I don't know what the big difference would be from night to day.
An apple expert emailed me:
I understand that you are receiving a message about connection error 3259 when trying to download your purchases.
I have confirmed that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. Therefore, the issue is likely related to your Internet connection, local network, or computer. I'm happy to provide some information that should help you connect to the iTunes Store again.
Error 3259 is a network timeout error. Sometimes this error can be caused by software on your computer that slows down the network connection. This error can also appear if you are downloading multiple items. I'd like to provide some steps that should help you successfully download your purchases.
It often helps to pause the download and then download items one at a time. These steps will walk you through doing this:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store menu at the top, choose Check for Available Downloads. If you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, the option will say Check for Purchases.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
Certain types of software can affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web accelerators
- Ad filters
- Virus protection software
If you have any of this kind of software installed on your computer, you will need to configure each of the applications to allow your internet connection to access iTunes freely. For instructions, please refer to the documentation that came with that software, or contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the Internet freely:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
For assistance in configuring your firewall or accelerator software, you may need to contact the manufacturer or your Internet service provider (ISP). When contacting their support representatives, it may be useful to have the following information:
"Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
The following article helps Windows users pinpoint software conflicts that could cause the error:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
Once you have managed to allow access to iTunes through other software, please follow these instructions:
1) Sign out of the iTunes Store.
2) Quit the iTunes application.
3) Restart your computer.
4) Open iTunes.
5) Select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu at the top of iTunes, (if you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, you'll choose Check for Purchases).
If you can't find this option, you can also click this link to do the same thing:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/checkForPurchases
6) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. The missing item should begin downloading and appear in your Purchased playlist.
Please note that the iTunes Store cannot investigate every user's connection issue. Apple Discussions are another source of information about iTunes, where everyone from new users to professionals can interact and share their knowledge and experiences. You may find another user with the same operating system or ISP that may be able to help resolve this issue. You can find the iTunes discussions group at:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/itunes
If you are using a dial-up connection, you might consider downloading your purchases over a broadband connection, if you have access to one.
I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping at the iTunes Store.

ITunes won't open ; Apple software update error

When I double click iTunes, the computer thinks briefly (hourglass) then does nothing. iTunes won't load.
QuickTime Player opens fine.
But Apple Software Update now gives me a strange error message.
Anybody know how to interpret it? Might it be linked to my iTunes not loading?
The procedure entry point
?CreateProductsFromXML@CSUCatalogObject@@QAEXP6AIPAXIIJ@Z0IV?$CStringT@_WV?$StrT raitMFC@_WV?$ChTraitsCRT@
_W@ATL@@@@@ATL@@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library SoftwareUpdateFiles.dll.

I'm having similar issues on PC Windows Ultimate 7 32bit. Husband tells me iTunes updated last night on both his and my laptops (same OS), without asking for confirmation, which I thought was unusual. Tried opening iTunes various times today and no response. Restarted and still no improvement.
Tried repairing and uninstalling iTunes, very slow and glitchy but eventually seemed to have got rid of the software. Downloaded most recent installer link from Apple website and attempted reinstall, but it didn't get past the empty-barred status window.
Aborted and found an old installer from earlier back-up - version 10.2 something. Install appeared to run smoothly but I still can't actually open iTunes.
Any help appreciated as we now have two laptops that won't shut down properly (seems they think iTunes is still running, even though we can't access it or close it in Task Manager), 2 iPhone 4s and an iPad that we can't use properly!
Apple....are YOU listening?!

Trouble downloading Ipod Software Update

When I open Itunes, I'm prompted to download the latest version of Ipod software (version 1.0.2??). When I click update, there's an error message that I'm not connected to the internet and to try again. I've tried multiple times (always with an active internet connection), disabled ALL firewall/virus protection, and reinstalled Itunes 7.5. Any ideas for how to get this to download and install?? Apple support seemed to have no suggestions after reinstalling Itunes.
Thanks

Update: It finally downloaded, but now it's already downloaded an extra 4MB over what it's supposed to. Right now in "Downloads" it says "60.7 MB of 56.6 MB"

Two Problems: iTunes 7 Installation and Ipod Software Update 1.2

1. The first problem is the installation process. After executing the installation file, the process simply freezes at "Registering Modules". Here's a screenshot(courtesy of allanpat): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/allanpat/itunes_freeze.gif
After numerous uninstallations and reinstallations...same problem occurs. However, i decided to press "Ctrlaltdelete" one time when the freeze occured and I ended the installation process at the freeze. Strangely, I found that most of itunes installed. So I tried opening itunes. A startup error pops up: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n82/p0llux/error2.gif
After pressing "OK", itunes then starts up normally and runs normally. o.O Then i plugged in my 30gb video ipod, which brings us to my second problem.
2. I'm told to download and install the Ipod software 1.2, which i did. When it attempted to install this error pops up: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n82/p0llux/error.gif
Although iTunes runs fine...i want to be rid of Startup error and get the ipod update to work. i've never had this many problems with iTunes before. what's going on?
Solutions, anyone?

Same problem here. It may have to do with conflicting software that we have running at start up. Now I'm not sure whether it is, but I'm willing to try anything to update my iPod with the new songs I downloaded.

Itunes won't install-"Apple Software Updates Can Not Be Removed"

Cutting right to the problem. I currently have quicktine 6.5 installed and working. iTunes was completely removed. When doing search, nothing shows up. In Add & Remove Programs, however, iTunes is still listed (37 megs). How do I get rid of it so I can re-install. When I try to install, I get message "Apple Software Updates Can Not Be Removed, Contact Administrator". When I try to upgrade Quicktime to 7.1, I get "An Older Version Of Quicktime Can Not Be Removed". I would like to completely remove all traces of itunes and then try to reinstall.
generic Windows XP

okay.
download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to remove the Installation configuration information for iTunes, Apple Software Update, and QuickTime:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
now use the following document as a guide to a manual removal of any leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
reboot the PC and try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

IDVD 08 "old themes" won't download in Software Update

I have iDVD '08 (v7.0.1 1091) installed from an iLife 08 DVD running on a Macbook Pro with 10.5.4
This is my first time using iDVD, and I want to use one of the old themes that are grayed out. I get 3 options to install the old themes
1 and 2 are "download now" or "download later", which are both supposed to download the themes the next Software Update runs. I've tried both options several times, though, and the themes never show up in Software UPdate.
Furthermore, the 3rd option is "install from DVD" and it asks for Mac OS X Install Disc 2. When i try this option, in put in disc 2, then the package opens and starts the install and it says "This update required iDVD version 7.0 or newer", which I obviously have....

EDIT - i completely reinstalled iDVD from the OS X discs, then went through the disc-based theme installation again, and now I have all the themes.
Nonetheless, it would still be nice for the Software Update theme installation to work...

Windows/iTunes won't recognise iPod after update.

So I updated to the latest iTunes the other day and now just yesterday I plugged my iPod in for the first time in a few weeks.
It said something about upgrading to ISO4.0 so I downloaded the update. Everything seemed fine - was working no problem, downloaded and then went onto install. It mentioned something about an error occurring and not being able to back up my files. I didn't want to lose everything so I just cancelled that but it went ahead and did something anyway.
Then it all went a bit fuzzy. The iPod displays this image:
http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1808/HT180803.png
Even though it was connected and such. The PC (Dell inspiron 1501 - Service Pack 3 - XP Pro) went on to try installing new hardware for the USB device but fails every time with the message "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software."
Now the iPod is stuck at the same screen I mentioned earlier and though I've tried restarting, restoring, recovery etc... Nothing works. It's just stuck like that - I've tried restarting my computer, reinstalling iTunes and the MSCONFIG thing this Apple support recommends. The only thing I can now think of is to try the iPod on someone else's computer.
But I'm unable to do that any time soon so I've come here first - should that actually work and solve my iPod being "stuck", what steps can I take to solve the obvious incompatibility with my own computer now? And should it not work, what do I do about the iPod? Cause I can't see a way of fixing it right now...
Cheers,
Jonny

My brother-in-law is having the same issue on his Win XP machine. Hoping to get some help here.

ITunes cannot connect to ipod software update server - help?

I needed to restore my ipod (again) and downloaded the latest version of iTunes to do this. Unfortunately since the update I can no longer seem to connect to the update server / music store or Track Names function and am left with no way of restoring or updating my ipod. I've tried the following:
- Reseting the ipod over and over again
- Checked / unchecked the Automatic LAN settings Box
- Looked in the Drivers folder for the music store isp (it wasn't there)
- Added "Open DNS" addresses to my router - did nothing.
- Checked the Diagnostics function on the new iTunes which tells me everything is running fine except the unsuccessful attempts to connect to anything iTunes related!
- Tried installing a previous iTunes but I'm told my computer already has a previous version!
I love the way this website addresses the problem directly, but sadly if it doesn't work for you there's literally no-where to go! Does anybody know what I can do to solve this problem?
All the best.

Shut down any firewall you have running... Norton, Zone alarm, whatever you have, restart iTunes and try again. If that doesn't work take a look-see at this, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302182

I am having trouble with itunes connecting to the ipod software update server

I am having trouble contacting the ipod update server. I just recently updated my computer with the vista service pack 2 and did necessary repairs but for some reason my itunes will not connect to the server nor to the online itunes store. Does anyone have any ideas?

On rare occasions, the message can be caused by LSP trouble. If that's afoot, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

ITunes won't recognize iPod after update

I got a 40G color photo ipod froma friend and had it restored, plugged it in, added my music, unplugged it, and used it just fine. I went to plug it back in to add a few more things and it was not recognized by iTunes. The autoplay window came up and then the iPod installer said I had to restore the iPod- which I did. Then I reinstalled my music, unplugged it, and it worked fine. Then I plugged it back in and the same thing happened. I went to the apple store and they restored it again and ran diagnostics on it. It seems to be just fine. I got it home. plugged it back in to my laptop, added my music, and it worked fine. Then I unplugged it and it messed up again.
You can see the frustrating cycle that I find myself in. Here are the things that I have noticed:
When I stop the update partway through, disconnect and then reconnect, it seems to be fine. Once the update is finished and the iPod is disconnected and reconnected, it seems to never work properly.
Also, it seems that when it is working properly, when I open the safely remove hardware window, the iPod is recognized as an iPod. It reads:
USB mass storage device
Apple iPod USB device
When it is not being recognized, I open the safely remove hardware window, and it says:
USB mass storage device
Generic volume - (E:)
Apple iPod USB device
Could this be the problem?
iPod 40G color photo Windows XP Pro

B- I plugged in my iPod again this morning and got the same autoplay window- and no recognition. I went in to change the drive letter of the iPod following the instructions on the link you gave me. When I pull up the disk management window, I see 2 disks listed: (C:) and (E:), but it does not say IPOD like the picture does on the help page. Should I change the drive letter anyway? Does this mean that it's not recognized as an iPod? Thanks for your help...
Also, about 3-5 minutes after the autoplay window comes up, I get an "iPod not readable" message that instructs me to open the iPod updater to restore my iPod- which I've done 5 times already.
