Problem downloading the iPod sofware?

Hey guys.
Thanks in advance for any reply I may get to this plee for help!
I have a 40gb click wheel iPod.
I was trying to restore my iPod to factory settings. I downloaded iTunes 7, and went to restore my iPod.
I hit restore, and it comes up, Are you sure?
I hit restore, and an error comes up. It says as follows:
'There was a problem downloading the iPod software to the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found.'
Ack! What do I do? I need this iPod restored.
Thank you so much for any help in advance once again.

  • Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"

    I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???

    Hi BigIRv,
    Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
    See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:

  • Possible fix for "problem downloading the IPOD software.." error

    I have a click wheel IPOD and after dropping it was forced to restore to factory setting. When attempting to restore, Itunes nor my computer recognized my IPOD and when it finally did I got the message
    "These was a problem downloading the Ipod software for the Ipod "Ipod." The requested resource was not found."
    I did the 5 steps repeatedly over 2 days with no luck then today I combined advice from a bunch of postings and it worked!
    Here's what worked:
    1)Bought a new USB 2.0 connect cable.
    2)Deleted the folder containing the firmware files: see
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309
    3)Delete Ipod updater
    4)Restarted computer
    5)Download updated Itunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/
    When I ran the exe file it asked if I wanted to "repair" or "reinstall" I choose "repair".
    5)Reset ipod
    6)Opened itunes, connected ipod, it took about 10 minutes for itunes to sync with the ipod.
    7)Choose restore.
    After that it went as normal.

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out

    There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out. This is for the latest ios for the iPod touch. Already walked through the steps to validate that all settings were correct with the firewall, Windows defender has been disabled. This has not been an issue with previous ios updates. Not sure what the issue here is.

    Hi,
    You might have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

    Hi, I have a problem on the ipod with this file "metadata_never_index". My PC doesn't recognise it. I need the program Apple Spotlight but I can't download it as well. Why? Any solution?

    I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes.  I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format.  However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there.  I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC.  I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files. 
    Thanks for your help, Mel

  • Unable to Retore!  Error -48 Problem downloading the iPhone software

    I was having trouble with Safari (reseting all the time) and wanted to try restoring my iPhone from scratch.
    Each time I select "restore" I watch the download activate and when it's complete, I get the following error:
    There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPhone "My Name iPhone". An unknown error occured (-48).
    I'm at a loss. Has anyone else seen this or have an answer?

    Before you 'restore', you may wish to read this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304893
    It addresses that error for the ipod. I myself might play around with the time zones first before I try restoring -- are they the same in the mac and the iphone? -- maybe temporarily switch to Pacific and see if the problem goes away.
    You can also search for that error by putting it in quotes: "(-48)". You will get hits for the number 48 too.
    Normally Macs don't have this issue. It seems as if you are running on USB 2.0 -- it probably should not be going thru a hub.
    Hope this helps.

  • Should i download the ipod updater version 1.2 on my itunes?

    Are there still lots of bugs with it even after itunes verion 7.0.1 came out?

    I downloaded the ipod 1.2 updater on my itunes but did not do the new update to 7 provided today. No problems with my nano. I haven't noticed anything significant that the update has fixed. It simply says that it has "bug fixes" but I don't notice anything. Not sure if I am the only one that can say this and I don't know if it really matters that I didn't do the Itunes update too. Sorry if my answer isn't as helpful as it should be!

Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

    Hi Guys,
    I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
    DISCLAIMER:
    1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
    2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
    3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
    PROBLEM:
    An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
    Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
    It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
    RESEARCH:
    Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX
    Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX
    Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
    In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
    Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
    CONCLUSION:
    It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
    Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX.
    Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
    Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
    I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
    So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
    I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
    Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
    Thanks!

    sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
    Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
    I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
    Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error while downgrading from ios6(beta4) to ios5.0.1.. i am getting error "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone" any idea???

    Hi,
        I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
    but all the time i am getting the following error.
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
    pls help me to downgrade my device.
    I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
    Regards
    Ram

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?
