Why am I unable to install the ios 5.1 update on my ipod touch? Keep getting a message "unable to install".

I am unable to install the ios 5.1 to my ipod touch.  I have tried over and over and get the message "unable to install update."  My touch has 100% battery charge so I know that is not the problem. 

Wifi or USB update? Have you tried the other?
Have you tried reseting the iPod? Notihng is lost?
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, 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.

  • HT5457 how do I install the IOS 6 software update to my Ipad 3G?

    How do I install The IOS 6 Software update on my IPad 3G? Itunes is saying it is up to date but it is not. It says it 5.1.1.

    Double tap the home button and bring up the multi-task bar. Hold down on one the apps until they all start to wiggle and display a minus sign. Tap the minus sign and close all of the apps. Tap the home button and close the multi-task bar. Reset the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if you see the same behavior. If you do, the next step to restore from a backup. If that doesn't help, then restore as a new device. Use this support document to understand the restore process. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you have to go all the way through restore as a new device and it does not work, then it could be a hardware issue. I've not seen any other posts about screen issues after updates, so one of these should fix it unless there is a problem with the screen.

    Hi stijill2,
    In case you are facing issues uninstalling the app's then please try manual cleanup of Adobe from your machine by following the below mentioned steps:
    1. Navigate to Applications and trash all Adobe app's and Adobe folder.
    2. Navigate to Applications/Utilities/ and trash Adobe Application Manager,Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Installer folder.
    3. Go to Library/Application Support and trash Adobe.
    4.Go to ~/Library/Application Support and trash Adobe.
    Try installing the CC app's and let us know if still the error persists.

  • My ipod touch keeps getting restarted. Be it while playing games or listening to music. Whats the problem here?

    My ipod touch keeps getting restarted. Be it while playing games or listening to music or browsing thru the app store. Whats the problem here?

    Oh, you do one thing, back up your iPod to iTunes. Plug your iPod to the iTunes and when it appears under devices tree on the sidebar, right click on it, and back it up.
    After the backup completes, jus click on restore button. If required it will download the latest iOS from the servers (Might take sometime) and after it's downloaded, it will erase all your data and settings, restoring to factory settings.
    After you have completed restoring the iPod, jus set it up as new iPod.
    Sync back all the apps, music, movies.
    And make sure you quit the apps, by double clicking the home button and pressing and holding the app icons and clicking on
    This should help your problem anyhow!
    It might be a case that the files in the apps, or the preferences might be corrupted, jus to be safe, we have a backup.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup

  • I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

    I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
