The ipod won't finish downloading updates.

I am having trouble getting my ipod's (2 of them) and my iphone getting updates. Here is the problem. I connect them, click to update. The computer says 4+ hrs to finish download. All is well but it seems to stop when the computer goes to sleep. As long as I messing on the computer, it all goes according to plan. This happens to the phone and to each of the ipods so it has to be me doing something wrong. The same thing happned when trying to restore an ipod. It started and says going to take long hours. Leave it alone and it just fizzes out. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

ALL of your music should be on your computer in itunes. Is it not?
How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.

Please turn off your caps lock. All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many will not read such posts.
If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
There is no need to keep re-buying it.

TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

I have downloaded Japanese calendar to my calendar already. Can't I download more than one holiday calendar?

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

HT201272 my movie won't finish downloading

I just bought a movie through iTunes and it won't finish downloading on my iPad....anyone know why?

Check your purchase history to be sure you have purchased it.
You can click Store>Check for Available downloads to see if it is still waiting to download.
If not, then report the issue. Apple should resolve in a day or less:

Does anyone ever have the problem where the iPod won't go to sleep?

i used to have a 4GB nano...and occasionally it wouldnt go to sleep...the backlight would just turn off for a few seconds...i recently got a 30GB iPod video...it is excellent might i add...but every now and then it wont turn off right away...this ever happen to anyone else?

It can just be that the iPod is loading something.
It can happen more on a 5G iPod. For example, if you are listening to music longer the iPod loads it from the HD. If you stop it then, the iPod may not turn off. Usually trying a couple of times or waiting a minute does the trick. If you were watching a video the iPod may still be doing something so won't turn off right away.
With the iPod nano, the same thing may apply. Even though it has no HD to spin, the iPod can be finishing up something (for example if you ended a song or just exited the photo library).
Sometimes the iPod nano won't turn off after syncing it to the computer simply because it is finishing up with notes, photos, etc.
The "problem" usually happens more with iPod's with HDs, simply because it takes longer to "load" something or the HD may be spinning.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Second Gen iPod won't restore or update

I have what I think is a second generation iPod. It's 10 GB with the four round buttons under the display. It has worked flawlessly up until now. The battery was replaced about 3 months ago.
I connected the ipod two nights ago to update my podcasts and the iPod started performing what looked like a disk scan and put itself into disk mode. I did not change any of my settings in iTunes (v 7.1.1, I believe). To my knowledge, the iPod has not been damaged or abused.
Since then, I have been unable to get the iPod to update or restore. I did a restore and added all my music back onto the iPod but the iPod remains stuck in disk mode. I attempted to update to iPod software version 2.3 after the restore but I continue to get a message saying I have connected a disk the Mac can't recognize and it takes me into the Disk Utility program, which is unable to solve the problem.
I have received error messages 1453 and 1417 when I try to update the iPod software but have had no luck solving the problem by tracking those codes.
When the iPod is connected, iTunes displays "N/A" in the iPod fields for serial number and software version. This tells me there is probably something seriously wrong with my beloved iPod.
I have tried the factory suggestions for resetting the iPod numerous times, to no avail. I updated iTunes to version 7.3 hoping that would help, but the iPod is still not working.
Any ideas?
I'd appreciate any help or feedback any of you can provide.
Thanks,
Scott

I'm having the same sorts of problems -- and I think it is related to either quicktime or 10.3.9 --
I could neither update nor restore and after reformatting and erasing the iPod HD, (on a machine running 10.4.x -- the 'restore' function is grayed out when using the current version of iTunes on my 10.3.9 machine!) I'm STILL getting messages to the effect that 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied ... because the iPod Software is too old.'
Bottom line, Altho the machine would eventually allow reformatting, I STILL can't copy my playlists from my 10.3.9 machine onto the iPod. Is there a 'known bug' that is being worked on here, or am I doing something wrong?
Things I've tried:
1) downgrading to earlier versions of iTunes (did nothing, so I re-upgraded)
2) Erased iPod HD with Disk Utility on 10.3.9 machine (iTunes would still not allow 'restore')
3) Connected to 10.4.x machine, 'restore' function of iTunes worked!
4) Reconnected to 10.3.9 machine and received error message listed above -- some files appear to transfer, but nothing shows up in playlists or music menus of the iPod after syncing -- either manually or automagically.
5) Searched for ideas here and found nothing pertinent!
Help? .... Thanks!

The ipod won't finish downloading updates.
