Old update to fix problem?

I've been having the same problem everyone else seems to be having with the ipod not being recognized by itunes. I searched online and found a link from apple.com that allowed the download of the ipod update from 11-17-2005. I'm at work right now so I can't download it, but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea if it would work to download this previous update and try to install that on my ipod that currently has the dreaded 1-16-2006 update on it. Is it even possible to revert back to a previous update like this, and also is this update even a working one because before downloading the 1-16-2006, I hadn't updated the ipod software since purchasing my ipod in late 2004. I'm also not sure if this will cause any more damage to the ipod (such as erase all my music, most of which I don't have backed up). Hopefully someone (preferably apple because they are really dropping the ball here) will be able to solve this problem soon. Thanks.
Here's that link...

Its a challenge and takes patience, but I have managed to install older firmware revisions to my Ipod. I've done it several times with different revisions. Unfortunately, it does not fix these problems.
So I conclude that either 1) the older updates just appear to install but the ipod is actually still running the 2006-1-10 update or 2) the 2006-1-10 update has changed some state that is not corrected by reinstalling an older revision.

Cannot message hubby or FaceTime him..he cannot message anyone for months now. Hoped this last update would fix problem but it didn't. What's up.

For months my husband has not been able to message or FaceTime. Several article I read stated the next update would fix the problem...it didn't. Any ideas?

1. Make sure software is up to date
2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

Where can I find the update to fix the problem with the trackpad acting up?

My trackpad has been acting up lately, with the arrow going everywhere by itself, and not being able to control it. I googled and found that it's a common problem for the 2011 Macbook Pros, and that Apple had released an update to fix the problem. Where can I find the update on the Apple site?

If an update is available, it will appear when you select Apple menu > Software Update...
But you should also read this support article:

Try this:
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

We moved from Blackberry to iPhone for 120 services in 2010. We have just renewed the iPhone fleet. Security was the issue for the business that employs me (lawyers). When comparing the two, Blackberry performed without issue most of the time but we experienced a number of issues with the trackballs on individual phones. This was, however, the first of the Blackberry Bold models. The expense behind the scenes was one of the major factors for the move. It was cheaper to run Exchange and iPhones than Blackberry services. Our lawyers on the whole adopted the iPhones and a number have become quite proficient at using them. We ensured that we had a means to securely wipe and lock business phones. We chose Mobile Iron for this purpose but you will find other products to do the same job. Cost is probably going to be the deciding factor here. Our only negative factor was butterfingers resulting in smashed glass with the iPhones although I have had one user drown several phones.

There is no "voicemail bug". Mine works just fine.
Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point. All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
- Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old.
Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution. Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

4.2.1 was supposed to fix problems, but it only created new ones. No video on some movies, no audio on others, and can't even play some movies. Can you please provide a means to restore 4.1.1?

Let me try again, Chenks. I'm a technical person by profession, and so can get deeper into things like this, but I have not attempted to use these methods of communication in the past. I'm trying to get some feedback to Apple on their worsening a product and really messing with existing customer configurations. I'll try to break things up below.
1. Configuration:
Existing Apple TV and Mac Mini configuration in place since December 2010.
Three Apple TVs, one in Family Room for music and movies, one in Master Bedroom for music and movies, the third one in the Living Room for music only.
I'm using iTunes as library. (Probably an obvious statement, but wanted to mention that.)
2. Pre 4.2.1
No problems at any location since configuration finalized and all equipment installed in December.
Since December, Family Room entertainment equipment was updraded to a new Sony Bravia 3D, and a new Pioneer receiver. The Master Bedroom still has the original Toshiba 32HLC56 TV. That unit has only one HDMI input. I'm using the built-in speakers. This TV/Monitor is about fives years old.
3. Problem
I updated the software in two of the Apple TVs to 4.2.1. I updated the Family Room device and the Master Bedroom device. I had not updated the Living Room device.
After updating to 4.2.1, the Family Room equipment works fine. That's the location with the newer TV and receiver.
The Master Bedroom has different problems with different movies: e.g. "The Little Mermaid:" video, no audio. "The Lion King:" movie wont start at all.
Additionally, in the Master Bedroom some movies work fine, other movies start but immediately go into pause mode. Pressing pause button on Apple remote will not initiate start of movie, screen does "flicker" for a moment but movie does not start to play, showing only the last frame that had been streamed.
4. Not really a problem for me.
Fortunately for me, I had not updated the Apple TV in the living room so I used it to troubleshoot the problem. Initially I thought it was a defective Apple TV in the Master Bedroom. I took the unit to the Apple Store in town and they exchanged it for me. I brought the replacement Apple TV home but I did not install it immediately.
While testing the Master Bedroom set up once again to make it was working for our afternoon movie watching, I was again reminded that a software update was available. That message came up because it was the unit I had brought over from the Living Room. I proceeded to update the Apple TV to the new software version (4.2.1).
As soon as I "updated" the software in the Apple TV to the new 4.2.1, the same problems manifested themselves. At that point I suspected that the problem was with 4.2.1, and not with the hardware.
I called Apple Support and went through a series of troubleshooting techniques. We tested the Apple TV with the new 4.2.1 installed in it. This is the unit which originially in the Living Room. Under the direction of the Apple TV support technician, I used the Family Room gear and the Master Bedroom gear to try and isolate the problem to hardware or software.
We eliminated the following as potential problems:
a. TV speakers in the Master Bedroom
b. HDMI cable
c. Ethernet connection
5: Conclusion:
Fortunately for me, again, the Apple TV that the Apple Store had given me that morning still had 4.1.1. So I installed that unit in the Master Bedroom and everything started working normal again.
6. Side note:
An interesting observation: In early March I copied several movies from the Mac Mini to my iPad and some to my wife's iPad. All movies worked fine on our flight out and while we were away.
My wife recently (about a week ago) updated the software in her iPad. and now some of the movies that played just fine on her iPad are exhibiting the same problems as the Master Bedroom TV when it is connected to an Apple TV with software 4.2.1.
Apple has been trying to fix some problems in 4.2 when it released 4.2.1. I make that observation based on recent articles I found on the web. Most likely the Apple engineers were trying to fix things in one place and broke them in another.
Clear as mud, isn't it?
7. In closing:
I'm good to go, I just need to remember not to update the software in the Master Bedroom Apple TV. I want to keep that unit at 4.1.1. It's possible that Apple might come to the realization that they hosed things for some of us. Because I do have three units in my home, I can experiement with the other two units should a "fix" come out. I can then update one of the two devices, connect it to the Master Bedroom TV, and see if the problem was corrected. If not, I stay with 4.1.1. But I'm not convinced that Apple will see this as their problem, it's always easier to point elsewhere.

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

Old update to fix problem?
