    I tried to download ART for Windows 8. I keep getting "something happened...error code 0x80070005"
    What does this mean?
    I just want to download the app. I recently did a System Restore, and all is now working fine with computer. But I cannot get this app re-loaded for some reason. Please help. Frustrating me!

    That's an error from the Windows 8 operating system, not from Adobe Reader Touch.

    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Since updating to ISO 8 my iPod touch keeps dropping me from from wifi.i have to keep rebooting. I have an airport extreme which looks like a white space ship. Can anyone help.thank you

    Since updating to ISO ate my iPod touch fifth-generation keeps dropping me from Wi-Fi I have an older AirPort Extreme that looks like a white spaceship does anybody have any solutions I have an iPad first-generation and my girlfriend has an iPod touch fifth-generation that she hasn't updated yet and there is no problem with those two units

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I am trying to get the updates for CS5 and I keep getting this message   "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."    What does this mean?

    I am trying to update CS5 through the CS5 application.   I hit "updates" in the help menu.   It goes through its series of updates and then says  " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
    I have no idea what this means. Of course, I have retried this….but to no avail. Can somebody help me?

    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • Problems with the 2.0 Software for iPhone on iPod Touch

    I purchased the new 2.0 software for my iPod Touch and now I can't update and restore. I get an unknown error (13) or and unknown error (6) during the restore, then it shuts down. I've reinstalled iTunes, I've repaired iTunes and the same errors occur. Has anyone had this problem?

    Many people are having the same problem -- they can't install the 2.0 update. There's a huge thread about it here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1598985
    Apple is aware people are having problems (according Ronald in iTunes Customer Support) but hasn't offered any real solutions yet. They keep sending people to the same online support tips, which usually don't work.
    The best you can hope for is to restore to an earlier version. iTunes will keep trying to install the 2.0 update by default. To get around this, you need to hold down the <Shift> key while clicking the "Restore" button in iTunes. This will open a dialog box where you can select the necessary *.ipsw file. On Windows XP, these are located in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\
    iTunes\iPod Software
    I was able to restore back to my last version, which was iPod1,11.1.4_4A102Restore.ipsw
    Hope this helps you out.

  • Updated software failed...iPod touch won't work now

    I hooked my ipod touch to the computer & through itunes updated to the latest version. The update failed. Left it overnight & update still not done. Checked apple website. Said to restart computer. Now ipod when turned on has the itunes symbol with the usb plug picture. Started itunes & it said update failed you need to restore your ipod. How can I avoid this? It will erase everything on there. What about the apps I paid for?

    If you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them, you can redownload apps at no additional cost.

    The fist part of the update process is for iTunes to make a backup of your iPod. If that was successful (look at date in iTunes preferences in Devices) then restoring from your backup together with syncing should restore you iPod to like it was when it was backed up.

  • Tried using the usb for connecting my ipod touch but it does not seem to work.  any ideas???

    Cannot access ipod touch in my holden captiva 7.  I have tried using the usb port but nothing happens.

    If you are trying to listen to your iTunes library on your iPod in your car, you need an FM transmitter.

  • Trying to restore 8 gig iPod Touch, keep getting error 1621

    i recently updated my ipod touch 8 gig to the latest software (4, I believe). however, it caused my ipod to crash and i lost my backup. i decided to restore to factory settings. however, now when i plug my ipod touch into itunes, it starts the restore process and gets through the extracting software part, but then gives me an error message: "the ipod software update server could not be contacted. an unknown error occurred (1621)." this keeps happening. i tried connecting through wireless and through ethernet, but i keep getting the same message. i have a connection, and am able to access the itunes store, but can't restore my ipod. right now all i have is the silver apple logo w/ the status bar as if it's starting, but that's it.
    has anyone encountered this problem and if so, any advice/help they can offer?
    thanks.

    my post will offer little help, i know, but i thought i'd put it out there. restoring my itouch on my pc was not working after many attempts and much online researching. ultimately, i took it back to the apple store and they restored it there. when i brought it home, my problems were not solved-- i simply inherited a new set of them. i have yet to try the restore on my macbook, but i think i'll hold off on the upgrade for as long as i can. doesnt sound like a good deal.

  • I have an older iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1 which can no longer be updated. Is there a way to download older versions of apps that will run on this device? I am particularly interested in an older version of Minecraft PE. Thanks!

    Is there some way to download older versions of games that will run in an iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1? I want to give my old device to a child who recently went through a hard time and his device was damaged. It is no use if it only has music on it. Thanks!

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • How can I get updated software for my old ipod?

    I have contacted ITUNES first.  I have several songs I recently purchased and show downloaded.  But they willnot sync to the IPOD.  Therefore ITUNES can no longer help and has suggested that I need a software update.  How can I get my IPOD updated with new software?  I tried going into settings>general> but there is no option to select for software updates. 

    You probably don't update.
    A 2nd gen can only go to 4.2.1
    3rd to 5.1.1
    4th to 6.1.3
    5th to 7.0.2

  • HT5278 I've tried updating the latest version for my iPod touch & keep getting error -37

    Please can anyone help, I get half way through the download on my Pc &amp; it just comes up with error 37. It does say I can continue but will loose all the data on my iPod??  

    Did you check your security software settings? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the update process:
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
