Problem when trying to update my iPod touch 3g
So I was trying to update my iTouch 3g to iso 5 by using iTunes 10.5 and it haven't been working. then later I re-installed my iTunes and it is already the latest version but I still can't update my iTouch 3g to anything newer than 4.2.1. It didn't have any error code, it just simply say "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version" and nothing happened after all.
It appears that you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 8 or 16 GB iPod it is rally a 2G iPod. A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours see:

Identifying iPod models
Apple on made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.

Problems when trying to update my iPod.
I bought the software update 2.0 for ipod touch and downloaded it but when i try to install it, iTunes just closes.
The error i get is: "tunes has found an error and needs to be closed."
There is no option to keep itunes running.
Someone please help me.I've got the same problem on a new Core Solo Mini. I got this thing because I've heard great things about MacOS, and I really like it, but there are like 4 or 5 huge bugs that are hurting my enjoyment of this little machine.
Does Apple choose to fix major bugs sooner or later? -
What is backup error (-43) when trying to update an iPod touch?
Error (-43) occurs everytime I try to update my iPod, so I would like to know more about what it is.
Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one. The file is located here:
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory. -
I have been trying to update my IPod touch 4g to IOS 5, but I tunes does not recognize it and says it is up to date. When I Updated my other touch yesterday every thing worked great. but this one does not seem to want to go beyond 4.2.1(8C148)
Ok make sure you have iTunes 11. Then connect iPod touch to computer then iTunes should pop up automatically. After it opens on the bottom left there should be a tab where it says your name and then iPod. For example (Johns iPod) click on that then it brings all your information of the iPod including restore and updating.
Dont worry -
I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?
Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

I have tried to update my iPod Touch 4G to the latest update, I currently have iOS 4.1. After the 4 hours an error message appears saying iTunes had lost connection even when I am fully connected to the internet. I have repeated the update 4 times now with not luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
AdamIf you get a network timed out error, try disabling the security software on the computer during the download and install.
You can also try a direct download andinstall by:

Nera the top of the page aretheinstructions for selecing the download for the install. -
I am still trying to update my Ipod touch 4 to the iOS 6 version. It is on the 4.3.5 (8L1) version. When I go to settings-General-it just says About and nothing about an update. I have no idea how to update it! Please help!
You can only update via the ipod with ios 5 or later.
You need to update via itunes on your computer as always. -
I'm getting the apparently "deadly" error 3149 when trying to restore my Ipod Touch 4g
A few days ago I tried to update my Ipod Touch (4th Generation) to the newest software. I pressed update and the apple logo with a loading bar underneath it appeared then the bar got about halfway and all of the sudden went into recovery mode. I followed some steps online to get it out of recovery mode, didn't work. So then I decided to just restore it. I tried restoring directly from Itunes but Itunes never finished the download (tried 3 times). Each time it gave me a different error. So I downloaded the 0.6.1 firmware online (*though it was a 840mb download and the file only says it's 839mb, weird)and tried using the Shift + Restore method. It extracted it then said "Verifying" then gave me the error 3149. I went online, yet again and followed some steps dealing with the "Hosts" file. No luck. I've also tried putting it in DFU mode, no luck.
I should also mentioned that my Ipod is Jailbroken. It was given to me like that when I got it for my B-Day. I never use anything with Cidia or whatever so I think Jailbreaking is pretty useless but I think this is worth mentioning because it could be what's causing the problem, but I don't know if it has anything to with it for sure. I've been told that restoring it will get rid of the stupid Jailbreak but I can't restore it now can I?
Please give me some advice, any advice that I haven't tried already would be helpful. I just want to actually use my Ipod! Why's it so hard to do things?!?
Also, no idea what operating system it was before the craziness happened. I can't check right now either. :/Did you mean 3194

So I have tried to update my iPod touch about 5 times now and it still says there is an error. I,ve erased all my settings and attempted to restore it, but it wont let me. I'm ready to throw it away and find a new product
Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

I am trying to update my iPod touch to the new iOS, but the error message "An error has occurred while backing up this iPod (0xE800067)" and asks me if I want to continue (which will "result in the loss of all contents on this iPod"); what is the problem?

HT201210 I've tried to update my Ipod touch
I've tried to update my Ipod touch for 3 times now and it always stop at 200mb mark and an error pops out "error in updating ipod due to internet connection" I don't know why but I do this at night when no one is using the net except me Help!!.
The link I provided includes:
Manual Install: If iTunes recognizes your iDevice, but is having a problem restoring it, go here and download the firmware for your iDevice.
Did you do this
Manually install it by holding your "Option/Alt" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded. -

I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod. All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead. I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do. I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!
The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer. I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
- Resetting the iPod:
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.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPod in DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd. If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -
