Unable to download software update iOS 4 plz help?!
I feel like a noob asking this but I really want this iOS 4 update!
Ok so I have an iPod touch which I got in January this year so it's relatively new (8gb) and I've got the latest version of iTunes so it's not because of that...
It takes 6 minutes to download the 315MB sized update, then a box comes up saying:
"+There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "Hannah's iPod". The network connection timed out.+
+Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later+"
I've 'tried again later' but that didn't work. I'm pretty sure it wouldnt be due to the internet connection because it's relatively fast.
Any helpful comments would be appreciated
Please try the download again after you have turned off your anti-virus (which is causing the error). For the actual update itself on your iPod, turn off your firewall.
As to whether or not you should upgrade -
Done properly, it doesn't brick your iPod, stop WiFi from ever working again, cause the following to stop working..., blah, blah, blah. There are horror stories out there to be sure, but people who successfully update rarely post "Wow, no problems at all!". (I actually had no problems at all.)
The real question is do you actually gain anything. With your model of touch, the improvements are pretty minimal. You can check the Apple website to be sure but you aren't likely to gain much more than folders, the ability to run iBooks, and a few more minor tweaks.

I gave my grandson an iPod for Christmas last year. He is unable to download the last iOS. Help us trouble shoot?
If the iPod has cameras then it can be update to the current iOS 6.0.1

Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"
I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes. I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7. i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message. I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529."
I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine.
Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch. All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes.Did you check your security software settings? Troubleshooting security software issues
iTunes has to be able to contact Apple during the download of the software and the update process. -
I updated my iPad 2 OS to iOS 6.0..after that I am unable to download or update anything from the App Store. The MSG I get is "id not valid for US store. Go to Indian store for purchase"..never faced this problem earlier before the update to OS 6..help!!
Apple's response to my email:
"I understand that you can't update your apps using your iPad.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Have a great day!" -
While downloading software update for Itunes, got message saying detecting Ipad in recovery mode and telling us to restore Ipad to original settings, which we don't want to do. Also cannot turn on Ipad; shows Itunes symbol with connector. Help!
No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark. -
My mac is the OS X 10.8.3. I tried to update the latest Adobe flash player and kept getting 'Actionlist not found.' I have uninstalled, enabled and disabled plug-ins and am still unable to download the update and now have no flashplayer at all. Help!
PS I'm still new to Macs so the more broken down the better.Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.42 is the most recent version from Adobe. It is a pre-release version. I am using it without any noticeable problems.
The current stable version is Download 11.7.700.169. -
How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, I tried going to settings,general ,software update but I can't seem to find the software update button pls help :)
Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running. If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button. It was added when iOS 5 came out. The current iOS is 5.1.1. To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes. Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward. Make sure you have a lot of time. Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
This link will provide the guidance you need:

TS1702 Unable to download or update apps can some one help
Unable to download or update apps can some one help
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
For iOS 6 only ....Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -

Unable to incrementally download software updates with unstable dial-up
I have recently moved to Angola and unfortunately only dial-up is available which is slow & very unstable so I am often disconnected. To date the maximum download/software update I have managed is about 20Mb.
Does anyone know of software that can manage interupted downloads and piece back together the file once all parts have been retrieved ?
I know this exsists in the PC world but I have found nothing for OS-X Tiger.
My guess is I am not the first with this problem so there should be something out there.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.Hi JMB --
Tough situation you're in. I think it can be frustrating here having my Airport broadband connection freeze up from time to time -- you sure put things in perspective.
Give this download manager application a try, perhaps. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22616
I don't have personal experience with it, but, it did get a five star rating on version tracker, and it promises to resume dropped downloads from the point that they were dropped, which seems like it should solve your problem (if it works as advertised. It is shareware, and I don't know how much it costs to register, but a free trial download (ironic, no?) is available. Seems to be just what the doctor ordered for your problem.
Let us know how it turns out.

Please help me to update my software to iOS 5.1 as my ipad2 doesn't have software update how can I download software update?
The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as your tagline indicates that your iPad is on iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes and selecting 'Backup' (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC)
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 6.1.3 -
Software update and iLife help not working in Admin account
For the last few weeks (maybe since iLife 11 was installed) software update and iLife help has quit working on the single administration account on my iMac. All works fine on the secondary accounts.
If I try to use software update it says everything is up to date, even though I know there are updates available that can be seen if checking from a different account on the machine. In iLife, if I try to access the help files it tells me I need to download them. I click to download and after a few seconds it takes me back to the front help page and I then go through the entire process again but the help download never happens. On secondary accounts the help files work no problem.
I've tried many of the tips for deleting helpfile plists, but nothing seems to work for me.
Can any kind person list for me everything I should look to delete or move in the account to get these things working again?
It would be much appreciated!Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.
