No, but the complete lack of details and basic information certainly is.
Try disabling your anti-virus and firewall software temporarily. Then attempt the update again.

My iPod Touch 4th gen wont connect to the internet?

I'm using wifi, and I put the correct password in and it connects. It shows the little wifi signal strength icon in the top left also. But when I try to open safari or any other internet reliant app it says there is no internet connection available. I am sending this question from my laptop, which is using the same wifi, so it is not the router. I have tried resetting the network setting on the iPod, and doing a full restore all to no success.

Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet. The 169.254.x.y is a link-local address and is intended only for communication on the local network. The x and y are random numbers. The iPad assigns this address when it receives no IP address from the DHCP server (which is probably your router). This allows communication on a local network with no DHCP server. This is sometimes referred to as an "ad-hoc" network.
Your other devices may continue to function with their existing IP address even if the DHCP daemon in your router is no longer issuing address. The fact that other devices on the network continue to work should not lead to the conclusion that your network router is faultless.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). This works because the DHCP daemon in your router will be restarted upon a router restart. Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to the internet. I don't understand how to find out the WEP or anything.

I've had my ipod touch for a while now but I cannot conect to the internet anywhere except the apple shop. I've been in there and they said it was fine as it connected to their open wi-fi without a problem. I have access at home to wi-fi and I can also get BTopenzone on my laptop. I don't understand the settings things so I need help please

Try the following:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Power off and thn back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset: Reset Networks Settings

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Needs to be restored, but it wont connected to the computer.

I have a 5th gen iPod classic that I bought off Amazon. A few days ago, when I plugged it into my computer, it told me it needed to be restored. So I went throught the prosses, and when it finihed putting all my music back on, I disconnected it. When I was choosing a playlist, I realized they were incomplete, so I hooked it back up to the computer to add them, but it wouldn't show up. My ipod then showed me the whole "you're ipod needs to be restored, use Itunes to restore it" blah blah.
So, my ipod is stuck in disk mode, I can't use it. It wont connect to my iTunes so I can restore it. I've tries updating iTunes, reinstalling itunes, resetting the ipod and non of it works.

I assume you are running the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches applied to your system?
Sounds like the iPod's filesystem is corrupted. Can you try connecting the iPod to another Mac or PC and restoring it again on there?

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one. If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair. You'll need to ask for pricing.

If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open. I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

My iPod touch 3rd gen is not updating to the latest software, iTunes keeps saying that there was a problem connecting to the update server...

I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?

If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0. and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

My ipod wont connect to the computer but will connect to an ipod stereo

I have a 2nd generation nano that I have had for 2 years, but not used very much. It has always worked fine and still does however it wont connect to the computer at all. I have tried different ipod usb cables and different computers. It will charge and play on an ipod stereo. I would like to be able to hook it up to the computer so I can put more music on it. Has anyone had this problem before?

Update to the newest version of iTunes if that doesn't work
Try uninstalling the drivers,
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

ITunes wont connect to the Store

Hi My iTunes wont connect to the store which is more then a bit annoying. Every time I try i get "An Unknown Error occurred (-3221)" If anyone can help it will be very much thanked.

See if this helps: iTunes for Windows: -3221 error displays when accessing iTunes Music Store

Itunes store wont connect to the internet?

Itunes wont connect to the itunes store. The error message it gives me says "Itunes could not connect to the iTunes store, make sure your network is active and try again." I can use the internet fine, and all programs can connect but itunes. I have the most recent version of itunes. Also the weather widget wont update or connect to the internet. I'd greatly appreciate any help! This is stumping me and just leaves me frustrated

Same problem here! Except--for reasons I won't go into--I use a VERY OLD version of itunes (6.0.1) and I don't ever want to update it. (I would use iTunes 4.0 if I could find it!) It's always worked fine until 11/01/2010. My Mac is a Powerbook G4 running osx 10.4 (Tiger) and I don't wish to update the os either. ADVICE>> Whatever you do, DON'T SIGN OUT OF YOUR iTunes ACCOUNT if you are still signed in. It won't let me sign back in. Of course, that means that I have lost the ability to play some 200 songs. And of the 200 or so iTunes I purchased from the iTunes store, I bought most of them with this laptop! At least on my Mac Mini, I stayed signed in so the songs still play, though I can't connect to the store with the mini either. Luckily, I backed them up to another (Windows) computer which can still connect to my account, so I will burn 10 or so CDs and re-load, re-title and load back into this laptop. Thanks a crapload Apple! I will never, ever buy anything from the itunes store again. With Amazon mp3s, CD Universe mp3s and even Walmart mp3s, you don't have to deal with this crap! Enough with this "Protected AAC" BS. If I buy a song, IT'S MINE! Not just on 5 computers (I have 5 desktops and 2 laptops--and that's just at home!) I'd rather rip from cd, vinyl and reel tapes than deal with all this! Crap and BS wasn't my first choice of words either!
