Neither iPod or QuickTime software will download

I tried downloading the iPod software to my windows XP Pro w/SPack 2 to no avail. Doesn't show anywhere in My Computer. Then tried downloading/installing QuickTime only and that didn't download either despite the Congratulations message from Apple. iPod not connected to CPU. Followed all directions. Read everything in iPod troubleshooting to no avail. Help please. The iPod is a 5th Gen 2006 30Gb model.

I found the above instructions on another discussion thread and so changed the second of my two DNS settings to the first address provided above and both the iPad and iPhone then were able to update to 5.1 without issue.
Judging from the number of "thank you" posted there it seems like changing the DNS settings is the solution to the 5.1 update issues.

Are there any games on an ipod 2nd generation that will download?

are there any games on an ipod 2nd generation that will download? my daughter was given one from a family member and we haven't been able to download any apps to it. It tells me I need to update by OIS. But you can't for this generation. Does any games work ?

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.

Hi there,

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes Installed
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download

Neither Reader nor Flash Player will download on my mac

Every time I try to start up the installation on my computer they always stop at a certain percent--so far it's been 40%, 44%, and 25%
I can leave my computer for hours and it still won't move.
I've gone through all the troubleshooting already, and I've made sure my browsers are closed each time
Help!!

Try un-installing and then re-installing.

Disable your firewall/security software, then try again.

I have been referred to by ITunes support. I purchased ' the traverling Wiilburys' via my Ipad, it downloaded with no problem, and, via the cloud was installed on my PC. However, it will not load on my IPod. All software is current.

I purchased 'the traveling willerbys via an ipad, it download onto the ipad ok and via the cloud onto my PC. However, it will not load to my iPod. All software is current and I have deleted the iPod and reload all music and audio files, everything loads ok with the exception of the travelling willerbys!!!!,. Any help please.

Did you check here:
Go to the iTunes store on your computer > Purchased (in the quick links section on the right) > sign in > Music
If it is already on your computer it will say "Downloaded" otherwise it will have a cloud icon with an arrow in it. Click it to download.

I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
Thank You

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Does your iTunes launch properly now?

I opened the attachment on a malicious email in error on my IPad and have been informed by the genuine company that it will download malware software. Is this possible on my IPad or is there a way of running a security scan to see if it has been infected?

I received an email that I now know to be malicious and inadvertently opened up the attachment on my IPad that I've been informed will download malware or a virus. Can my IPad be infected this way or does anyone know if there is a way of running a security scan to check if there is a problem? I do have the most up to date IOS software installed.

There is no anti-malware for iOS, at least none that actually does anything useful. The odds of getting any malware infection via an email attachment on an iOS device is quite low - practically non-existent. Unless you are seeing any issues, there isn't much to do, other than deleting the email and being more cautious in the future.

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
Thanks in advance

Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(! All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads. I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings. When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music. If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles. I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off. Can anyone help me please? I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

First, don't obsess over it. If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty. Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I'm so angry!! I bought my iphone as 16GB and it fills up to 13.2 GB only!! I think a software will not fill 2.8 GB (ps: still didn't download the new software!)

I'm so angry!! I bought my iphone as 16GB and it fills up to 13.2 GB only!! I think a software will not fill 2.8 GB (ps: still didn't download the new software!)

16 GB is a rounded up or rounded down value -- it makes it easier when advertising a product. I don't have an iPhone but almost always it is a rounded up value, so you start off with a bit less.
See the link by Stedman1 about how computer mathematics makes this less. When advertising they use 16 GB in base ten terms, but when your device uses base 2 which means it is shown as less.
Don't forget simply formatting a drive for use in an electronic device will use some space. No files on it yet that you see.
Your phone comes with some version of iOS. This will take up space and that is not factored in advertising a device.
This kind of space reporting has taken place since the first computers were sold. It's nothing new and all electronics manufacturers do it.

HT1351 Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?

Try here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

I'm having trouble restoring my ipod. The software starts to download but it stops saying that there is a connection problem when there isn't. What can I do?

Disable the computer's security software during the download and update.
