Re: updating ipod software

[Chris Burton]

Hi Ronni

Have finally had a successful download and update of the new iPod  
software (through itunes) with an unusually good network connection  
this morning, and it only took about 40 minutes! Yay.


Now I will see how it goes with the music for next weekend's do!

Thanks very much for your support with this

Kindest regards

Chris

'This ipod isnt eligible for the requested build'!!

I did download the correct software: iPod4,1_4.3_8F190_Restore.ipsw

Is there any way of checking this? Do I need to do the 4.3.1 update?

Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Chris,

I don’t know what is going on … ;-)
It looks like you will have to resort back to doing the download and  
install through iTunes


1 Connect your iPod Touch to your Computer (make sure your computer  
is connected to power not battery)


2. iTunes should open and if you see in the dialog “A newer version  
of the iPod Touch software is available (version 4.3.1)

to update your  iPod Touch with the latest software, click Update.
Follow the prompts.

3. It will take around 50-60 mins (depending on your download speed)  
to download.

Then iTunes will install the software

You can see what version you have installed on your iPod Touch by  
going into Settings > General > About  > Version


Cheers,
Ronni

Thankyou both for your info on this. I will be patient with the

It hadnt occurred to me that the zillion people with new and

It is a pity I cant just download it to my MBPro then do the update

On top of this I have a very unstable/variable and certainly not

Hi Chris and Nicholas,

I don't think the problem is with the iOS 4.3 update in  
particular. I updated some weeks back and it is usually a matter  
of minutes for the download. I think the problem may be a general  
slowdown of the Apple servers related to the international release  
of iPad 2. I downloaded a three hour video from iTunes University  
last night and had to leave it to run overnight. It took about 5  
hours to download whereas normally it would have taken the order  
of 15 minutes.

Carlo

It's not based on the model of iPod (nor iPhone or iPad)... this  
update seems to be generally slow in downloading... it is around  
600MB, if you can believe that!!!


I updated an iPhone 4 and iPod touch 3rd Gen last night... one  
took nearly 3 hours and the other mere 2 hours... when I did my  
own iPhone 4 the day the update was released, it took three  
attempts... and ultimately eight hours to download.


These were all on an iiNet connection, with lots of other uploads  
and downloads happening at the same time.


Also, the time indicator will change over time as network traffic  
changes... he 3 hour one last night originally said it'd take 18  
hours, quickly changed to 10 hours and then wavered about between  
1 and 10 hours as it downloaded

Re: updating ipod software

[Ronda Brown]

Sorry people,

I’m not sure what has been happening here ;-)  I had a problem with my Network 
earlier today and when corrected email did strange things.
I’m sure after this one, there will not be anymore emails arriving in WAMUG 
from me on this subject ;-)

Terribly sorry for the intrusion …

[Ronda Brown]

Disregard this post  Chris … the link is for the iPad version of iOS 4.3
This link that I sent in another email to WAMUG is correct.

 It's not based on the model of iPod (nor iPhone or iPad)... this update 
 seems to be generally slow in downloading... it is around 600MB, if you 
 can believe that!!!
 
 I updated an iPhone 4 and iPod touch 3rd Gen last night... one took nearly 
 3 hours and the other mere 2 hours... when I did my own iPhone 4 the day 
 the update was released, it took three attempts... and ultimately eight 
 hours to download.
 
 These were all on an iiNet connection, with lots of other uploads and 
 downloads happening at the same time.
 
 Also, the time indicator will change over time as network traffic 
 changes... he 3 hour one last night originally said it'd take 18 hours, 
 quickly changed to 10 hours and then wavered about between 1 and 10 hours 
 as it downloaded

Sorry Chris, I sent the direct link for the iPad iOS 4.3 update download.
I’ve added a link now that will take you to a site to download the correct 
version for your iPod Touch

Hi Chris,

You could try updating iOS 4.3 manually.

How To Update to iOS 4.3 Manually


Step 1: Download the iOS 4.3 IPSW file for your device using the iOS 4.3 IPSW 
direct download links.
 Direct download link from Apple is here

Step 2: Connect your device to the computer using the USB cable and wait for 
iTunes to detect it.

Step 3: Once your device has been detected – follow the steps below:
  Hold the Option key and then click on the "Check for 
Update/Update" button.

Step 4: In the next dialog browse to the file that you downloaded from Step 1 
and select the IPSW file.

Step 5: iTunes will now use the IPSW file and update your device to iOS 4.3. 

The process should take around 10-20 minutes.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: updating ipod software

[Chris Burton]

Hi Carlo and Nicholas

Thankyou both for your info on this. I will be patient with the  
download.
It hadnt occurred to me that the zillion people with new and previous  
ipads, iphones and everything else 'i' might also be using itunes!!
It is a pity I cant just download it to my MBPro then do the update  
into the ipod touch?
On top of this I have a very unstable/variable and certainly not  
consistent Bigpond wireless connection down south here which is really  
really frustrating!!


Kind regards

Chris

Hi Chris and Nicholas,

I don't think the problem is with the iOS 4.3 update in particular. I updated 
some weeks back and it is usually a matter of minutes for the download. I think 
the problem may be a general slowdown of the Apple servers related to the 
international release of iPad 2. I downloaded a three hour video from iTunes 
University last night and had to leave it to run overnight. It took about 5 
hours to download whereas normally it would have taken the order of 15 minutes.

Cheers,
Carlo

updating ipod software

[Chris Burton]

Hi Everyone

I have an ipod touch (4th gen) that I intend using for our family get  
together in April for some music.


Each time I link it to itunes on my MBPro, it asks me if I would like  
to update its software to 4.3. I would like to and have tried many  
times, only to find it was going to take more than 6 hrs (and up to a  
day or 2)!!! Im not sure if this usual for this model. Can someone  
please advise if it is and I wont be impatient any more!!


Best regards to all

Chris
