in [UK Mac]

From: T i m on 18 Apr 2010 20:10 Hi all, Daughters b/f up in the back of beyond (Scotland) is trying to do a software update on his iPod touch. He said over IM: "Went to get the version 3 upgrade for the iPod, downloaded it (8 hours) then went to install, it said that it needed to restore the iPod to update. Did that, now it just keeps going back "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored". An unknown error occurred ( 6)." I think he's doing it from W7 if that makes any difference. Anyone seen that before please and I can ask him further questions if required. Cheers, T i m

Hmmm, good point. > >> >> I think he's doing it from W7 if that makes any difference. > >Oh well, there's your problem. You must download it with an Apple. The nearest he can get to Linux is Ubuntu, would that do? > Windoze >has contaminated the bytes with Windoze bits. Damn, I thought it might have been that. Could he update the iPod via his Xbo ... ah. ;-( > >> >> Anyone seen that before please and I can ask him further questions if >> required. >> >Yes, could you ask him if he's having it off with your daughter? Will do? And if he isn't? > I wouldn't >let her near a Mac person if I were you. I wouldn't! He was given this iPod touch by someone who didn't know better (they are all inbreds up in Scotland and still get excited by a glimpse of the Sun ... luckily that doesn't happen very often) when all he wanted were some more 8-tracks for his truck. It doesn't matter now as a wild haggis made a nest behind the dash and chewed through all the wiring. ;-( I think the nearest Genius Bar <g> is about 5 days cart ride away so they had better write in (or get someone to write in for them) and make an appointment before they set off. Personally I think the iPod has been screwed up by the voltage fluctuations from the generator. They never had this problem with the washboard, jar and fiddle. ;-( Yeee Haaarr (the noo).

I would say do a full reset (hold power and home for a while) and try again -- Woody www.alienrat.com

Because of their slow bb would the update download still be held on the PC (in iTunes presumably?)? And I've since gleaned that it is / was at version 1 before he tried the upgrade to V3. Did I read there was a V4 due out for the iPhone ... would that also apply to the Touch (should he wait or would it be too late now (would he have already paid?)). Cheers, T i m

Don't know about charges though -- Woody
