Unable to update apps-Ipod touch with 5.0.1

Apparently I haven't updated my apps in a long time, as I have 23 apps needing updates, and they are all failing.   I get a generic error "(title) cannot be downloaded at this time" and retry/done buttons.  Retry does nothing-the download just fails again. 
I have tried logging out of my itunes account, rebooting, and re-logging in without success. I have also tried downloading other free/paid apps and have not seen an issue. My account seems to be working fine.   I have tried syncing with my mac, and no luck.
how do I get the downloads to cancel? I can't open any of the apps as they all have a bar showing download progress (or lack thereof). is there a way to download/update the apps w/a cable?

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • How do you update your Ipod touch with out losing all my apps, music, movies, and pics?

    How do I update my ipod touch with out losing all my apps,music,pics ect?

    Just do the update on your syncing computer. All the items should be in your iTunes library or, for synced photos, on the computer.  The items will be synced back to the iPod during a latter stage of the update.

  • TS2634 After I updated my iPod touch with iOS6, it does not work with my Logitech docking station. Is this a problem with iOS6?

    Does updating the 4th generation iPod touch with iOS6 keep it from working with a Logitech docking station/boombox? Nothing is wrong with the boombox.

    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.
    - 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.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If it still does not work that means that the update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes. You will have to wait for an update to either iPod's iOS or the dock's firmware.

  • Is there a way to update an iPod touch with an iPad?

    I no longer have a laptop all I have in an iPad and I need to update my iPod touch so it has IOS, but I do not know I can do it with that or if I will have to use a computer. If I can is there a special cable that I need to get?

    To update an iOS device with less then iOS 5 requires a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.  It sounds like you need to restore your iPod and that requires the same.  Use a friend's computer or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • ITunes is confusing update of iPod Touch with update of iTunes

    I have a powerbook G4 1.25Ghz/2 Gigs RAM/120 Gig HD running OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I also have a iPod Touch 2nd gen running iOS 4.1. I'm trying to update the iPod Touch to iOS 4.2 using the "update" icon under the heading "Version" in the "Summary" window for the iPod Touch within iTunes. It is located next to a sentence that says "A newer version of the iPod software is available (version 4.2). To update your iPod with the latest software, click update." When I click on the update button, a window pops up that says "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." Obviously, something is corrupted within iTunes. I just did an archive and install of the operating system and, afterwards, a reinstall of iTunes. Do I have to reinstall iTunes again, or is there an easier fix?

    I think the problem is this:
    You're running Tiger (OS 10.4), which is not compatible with iTunes 10
    iTunes 10 is required to update to IOS 4.2

  • HT1414 I am unable to update my iPOD touch 2G from 2.2 to 4.3 version.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Will updating my ipod touch with the new update erase all my pictures/music/apps?

    I want to get the new update, but I have music on my ipod from other people's computers. Is updating my ipod going to erase everything on it and start all over?

    The update itself will not affect your music. However, anytime you do a major update like this one there is a risk that there could be other issues that would require you to restore your device (not likely, but possible). Therefore, you should back up your device before you do the upgrade.
    Back it up to iTunes on a computer, or to iCloud. Then do the upgrade to iOS 7.
    That way, if you do have an issue that requires a restore, you can restore it to the backup you created.

  • HT1483 how do I update my ipod touch with windows 7

    I have a used ipod touch, 4th gen, I think and I'm trying to download some apps and get the message "this app requires iOS 4.3."  Is it possible to update my opperating system?

    According to this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history
    iPod touch 3rd and 4th gen support iOS 5.1.1.  If it's a 2nd gen, the highest iOS version would be 4.2.1, which seems to be what you are getting.

  • I am unable to sync my Ipod touch with Outlook 2007, an operation I was able to do with no problem using Outlook 2002.

    When I plug my ipod touch into my desktop computer to synchronise it, and in particular with Outlook 2007, I get the error message "Itunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services". Reconnect or try again. All appropriate boxes have been ticked where possible, the callendar and contacts boxes being greyed out and ticking not possible.  When using Outlook 2002 this box enabled sync to be carried out with Outlook without a problem.  I have uninstalled both Outlook and Itunes and reset my Ipod Touch but get the same results no matter what I do.  Apple claim that the Ipod touch is compatible with Outlook 2007 but it appears not to be the case. I am using the latest Ipod software of 4.2.1.  Can anyone help me.

    Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.
