Update iOS 5 - Download impossible !!!!!!

IOS - Download the update iOS 5.0 !
> I get the following error message: When you download the software for the iPhone an error has occurred. When a network connection timed out.
   >  Check that your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later
       > Everything checked and tried umpteen times - no success
Can anyone help out there in the big wide world ??????
Thank you very much - roethls

I'm not criticizing your suggestion but the fact is that we should not have to disable these very important protections in order to update iTunes.  It appears that Apple has no interest in attempting to fix this problem in the proper manner.
Good luck!.  I just wrote apple support and it will be interesting to learn what they are going to say about this problem.  My XP stopped the update download midway as it labeled it as possible malicious code trying to write to an unauthorized sector.

    Do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
    A 3G only to 5.1.1

  • Can't update or download apps iOS 8.1.2

    I've been trying to update and download apps for a while now and it simply can't. I've tried to stop the download and start it again but it cannot download. The only thing that happens is that the app become unavailable and it either waits (the blue spinning circle) or the download image (circle with a square) appears. But there's no progress whatsoever.
    I have an iPhone 5s and I'm running on iOS 8.1.2, before I updated it worked perfectly, so is it an iOS problem? Or what should I do?

    RESOVLED:
    The solution was staring me in the face:

  • Downloaded audio book on my iphone does not appear in itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

    Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

    You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

  • I downloadeD the update iOS 5 but wouldn't install

    I downloaded the update iOS 5 through iTunes. When I plug my phone into the computer it asks me if I want to update I click yes. It pops up and says backing up iPhone. I leave it sit like that for over an hour and it never changes. Anyone else having this trouble? How long does it usually take?

    Once you access the notification center, swipe down. The weather should be at the very top.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • I updated iOS in iPhone 5 just now... But I can not download/install apps (Skype,Facebook etc.) from apple store...it shows error code -1009... What can I do...?

    The error 1009 error is normally associated with a blocked country. There are a list of countries that Apple is not allowed to sell their software to due to US restrictions

    i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly

    An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible.  The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone. 
    Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

  • Iphone 4 ios 7 not updating or downloading apps

    My iphone 4 ios 7 is not letting me update or download apps. I have tried rebooting and redownloading the
    Multiple times. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Read this for error 21
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    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.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    Hi. My device won't update iOS in settings. It won't download any new apps for me. (It is connected to the internet). The latest app I tried to download appears stuck! Has not completed its  download, won't open and I cannot delete it. What can I do? I purchased the product online a year ago. I'm not sure of the exact date... I think it was late November 2012.
    Any help appreciated.

    If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

    after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

    I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.
