Standalone updater for iPod version 1.2

Hi! I have family with 5G iPods who don't have broadband internet access, so I usually bring them major large software updates on disk so they can avoid downloading them over broadband.
Is there or will there be a standalone iPod 1.2 updater download, or does it only come down via the internet from inside iTunes 7 once an iPod is attached?
Thank you! I love the new software by the way.

I would have them wait. The 1.2 upgrade has destroyed numerous 5g iPods. Wait until 1.2.1, ro whatever the next number will be.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

Did you try clicking Restore iPod instead? Does iTunes restore it?

New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!

No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
Have you tried the basics from the manual?
restart.
reset.
restore.

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

Question about 1.1 update for ipod

i've been reading a lot about the update for ipod... but in some pages/forums, say that the problems appear only with the ipod 5G 60Gb...
i´m about to buy a black 5G ipod 30 Gb... i want to know if i should update it with 1.1 (2006-01-10)/b] or don´t do it at all...
thank you
-gomeeeta
btw: what are really the improvements with the new update?
Windows XP amd

that't not true. the clock feature is now quite different. Ie, it has Adelaide in the option. This would be really useful if the time wasn't incorrect and there is now no way to set the time manually. Would be nice if it synced with the computer when it was connected, but, looks like im just gjust going to have to be half an hour out until it gets fixed in the next version. It could be something to do with the daylight savings options, but either way, it's still annoying that you cant set it manually

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

Is there a recent security update for OSX version 10.6.8?

I am getting more confused. I have Lion 10.7.5 and thought this would not be susceptible to SSL problem.
I also took Lanny's advice and went to "gotofail.com" and it said I was SAFE.
Can I assume I am OK?
Also,i have an ipod 4g and went to the same gotofail, and it also said I am safe. I have not udated the security patch as do not have sufficient space (need 2.7gig) but someone suggested a go around which I have not tried yet.
I am accessing the net via a Veiizon jet pak, and not using open networks.
Please comment

Will there be a siri update for ipod touch??

I was wondering if there would be a siri update for ipod touch in the near future.

Doesnt have the proccessor to run Siri, even i do wish they made a special version for siri to run on this proccessor thou but they have probably already tried it but funky errors or whatevr and they will get complaints for it so they will just drop the subject for the iPod Touch 4G to have siri.
Not unless u void ur warrenty to do so which we're not allowed to talk about that here.
so thats y they created the iPhone 4S, it does the same basic things with the iphone 4 but iphone 4s with specail new features for the camera and having siri built to it, plus watevr they added it to it that the iphone 4 cant handle it.

IOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch

Where can I find the iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch?

In that article, did you click on this link as it states?

How can I update my ipod version from 1.3 to 2.0 or higher

How do I update my Ipod version from 1.3 to 2.0 or higher?

Except for iPod touch (which runs iOS), each iPod model has different software. The version number doesn't really matter between different iPod models. The latest version of software for each iPod model is installed by iTunes.
Connect your iPod. In iTunes, select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. You should see a button there that says Check for Update. Click it. If there is an update available for your iPod model, it will be installed. If not, you already have the latest version of software for your iPod model.

Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
(P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.
