Unable to buy January Software Upgrade for iPod Touch
The iTunes Store (Australia) throws a "Payment Processing is temporarily unavailable" error when I try to buy the January Software Upgrade.
Anyone else getting this?
It finally worked today. Site must've been busy.

Hello, I wanted to update my ipod touch 1st generation. The current software is 1.1.5. So I purchased iOS 3.1 software update for iPod touch (1st generation) and than I get an error so it did not upgrade. Can you help please?
I too had the same issue. This is how I resolved it http://www.parkhi.net/2011/12/error-8288-ipod-touch-upgrade-ios-31.html

Where is the January Upgrade for iPod Touch?
I have been attempting to download the January Upgrade for iPod Touch for days. I cannot find where to download it. Several people have given me links, but it gives me a message box that says it is unavailible in the United States.

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. -
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. -

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!
- Sam AmosNo one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
Have you tried the basics from the manual?

I was downloading the software update for ipod touch 2gen and after it was done downloading it showed that there was an error with my ipod and when i saw it was on the lockscreen loading. its been like this for 4 hours already
What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Problem with the purchasing iOS 3.1 software update for iPod touch
I have an ipod touch (1st generation) and now while I'm looking for my update to iOS 3.1 for the most current, seeking the support of Apple. I found an article talking about buying an upgrade for the iPod touch iOS 3.1 Software (1st generation) then decided to buy. That afternoon, I bought it, but so far so I can not download update. I receive a email informing me of my purchase, but when I'm redirected to the download page. I click on start downloading, but nothing happens. I wanted someone who went through this to help me, because I wanted this update!
Thank you.
Your update is being downloaded. This download may take 30 minutes or more on a typical broadband connection.
Once the download is complete.
Do not disconnect the iPod touch until the update is complete

I am rather computer challenged, so my apologies in advance. I just purchased an iPod Touch. Have a PowerBook G4 using OS 10.2.8. Looks like I need to upgrade my OS. May I go straight to 10.5 or do I need to get everything in between as well? Also, how will this upgrade create issues with my other applications (such as Adobe Elements)?
Welcome To Discussions mondok9!
Here are the iPod Touch Mac System Requirements.
"Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later"
"...how will this upgrade create issues with my other applications..."
Check the developer websites, of your Third-Party applications, for system requirements compatibility, and updates.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), 10.4.x to 10.4.11 (Pending), and 10.5.x to 10.5.1 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If your Mac meets the System Requirements. Leopard 10.5.x, can also be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Also, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The disc should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on it.
Additional info in these links.

Caveat Emptor!
If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!
Tiger On eBay
If your Mac meets the System Requirements, Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to, is no longer available.

No more software updates for iPod touch 1st generation?
I have been attempting desperately to update the software on my first generation iPod touch, but iTunes continues to tell me that the 2.2.1 software is the most up to date version. I know this cannot be true considering the iPhone 4 software is currently be offered as a free update.
Without any further updates, I can no longer use many of my favorite apps. Is there some fix I can try to get my iTunes to update my software?You can buy the update to os 3 here:
