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.

I recently purchase a tv episode from the iTunes store, however, can not download to my IPOD Touch. Apparently, a format issue, any suggestions

I recently purchased a tv episode from the iTunes store. However, I can not get the tv episode downloaded to my IPOD Touch i.e. can not sync movie although music works fine. From what I read it is an issue with the format of the episode. The format is HD and apparently is too much for my IPOD touch. According to the documentation, the SD format for the episode should have been downloaded at the same time as the HD. I have the latest iOS for my IPOD Touch, 4.2.1 and latest for ITunes 10.5.3.3. I am using my PC with Windows 7. I can not download directly to the IPOD Touch since access to the clous is required i.e. iOS 4.3 or higher. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is for you to do the downloads overnight.

Can i download instagram on ipod touch 2g

i cant download instagram on ipod touch 2g how can i update so i can version 4.2.1

You can't. The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.22.1 because of the hardware on the 2G. Instagram requires:
equirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
Either live withou Instagram or get a newer model iPod

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Can't Download Purchase to iPod Touch- Don't Have Permissions?

Hi,
So I just got to London, and I need to download a new Mac application to my iPod Touch. It has been working until now. When I try to download ANY app, I get the message:
"You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions (in the Finder) and then choose Store > Check for Available Downloads."
I've checked the iTunes Media folder and made sure that my username and everyone both have read and write privileges. What else can be causing this to happen? Thank you.

Hi Brian
I still haven't managed to download my photos. :-(
To add to the mystery I dropped the phone and the glass broke so it is not working. However, when I plug it in via USB I can still see the device and all the photos on it. I just can't move them or transfer them.
I can open them one at a time in Preview and save from there but as there are nearly 800 of them, that would take a day to do.
I still can't download iPhoto as apparently my computer is too old. Although it's only about 18 months old.
Anyway, I would really appreciate any further help as I would like to get the photos off and take the phone to be repaired.
I'll be using a digital camera not attached to my phone in future. I can't believe how difficult and frustrating this has been. Most devices you plug in, they appear on your computer and you drag and drop.
Hope you can help.

Can't download the new ipod touch update

when i go to itunes and try to buy the new upgrade it says that i must download the new ipod software 1.1.3 even though my ipod is up to date. What gives

You must update to itunes 7.6. You must download, and update your ipod to version 1.1.3 verify on the summary tab in itunes when you plug your ipod in. If you have already purchased the update then you should now be able to sync your ipod and the apps appear. If you have yet to successfully purchase the apps yet purchase, and resync. (you can view your purchase history from itunes store account settings, to check whether you have successfully made the purchase already. Also when you sync your ipod the first time to get the apps to show up, you must be set to automatically sync, not manual.

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,

ITunes freezes when trying to upgrade iPod touch software

I just purchased the iPod upgrade software, the iPhone 2.2 software upgrade. As iTunes is backing up my iPod touch, it freezes before it can finish the job. This has happened 3 times now, and I am still unable to update my iPod version.

Sorry. I just needed to restart my MacBook.

ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

Ugh. Here I go again.
I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates.
My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
(1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch. I managed to get that fixed.
(2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined." A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
(3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch. I have 600-800 albums. All of the artwork is correct on iTunes. About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch. (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
Does anyone have a more direct solution? Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs? (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
Any ideas? All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere. It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400. Weird.

How can I download podcasts on iPod Touch? (I have the RSS feed.)

I have the RSS feed of a podcast that I'd like to download (not just stream) and play on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6. I have the Podcasts App (purple icon) and the Music App (brownish-orange icon).
What must I do? When I tap the Podcasts App, It says "You can subscribe to podcasts in Top Charts or the Podcasts Store". Is it possible to bypass Top Charts and the Podcasts Store and just load the RSS feed URL into some app? I don't think the podcast I want to add is found in either Top Charts or the Podcasts Store.

lllaass
You are correct my response was supposed to be completely useless for this thread because it is my pet peeve when somebody says 'iTouch' Please see the picture below to see that the OP did indeed use 'iTouch'.
If you look carefully at your first reply it says 'iPod Touch', looks like they changed it after I said something.
Seeing as I am batting 1.000 might as well ask if you know anything about https://discussions.apple.com/message/21829555#21829555

Can't download youtube on ipod touch

My daughter's new iPod touch has been updated but won't download YouTube. The "free" box doesn't react.

Okay - worked with Apple Care last night and found a lot of other things wrong. He tried a restore but it didnt work. My iPod is just screwed up. He told me to take it to my local Apple Store to have it looked at.

What games can I download to my ipod touch second gen?

I tried to download some but a notice saying I can't run the app because its iOS is an old one.. Any ideas please??

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!
