its so annoying and itunes store never helps
ahh
Maybe this is why?
There is a delay because iTunes will try to download the "restore" in the background - check the Store>Downloads folder
Your iPod may have turned itself off (missing from the Devices list in iTunes) and so need turning back on to allow the restore to continue...

iPod touch error after ver 2.0 install
I am getting "An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-36)" and "The ipod "iPod" cannot be synced. The requested file cannot be found." I have purchased and loaded the new verson 2.0 software ($9.95) and spent 3 hours so far loading the software then letting my iMac restore the songs, videos and photos to the iPod touch. However, each time I get the above errors. I recommend waiting maybe several weeks until you load the new "Application" software to your iPod touch.
hi i like nachos
hi i like nachos
ok.....
ok
Yes, it is for iPhone
Following up my previous comment, I read the filename properly and found out it started with iPhone.
For iPod Touch owners, I suggest you download from this link:
http://uploaded.to/file/ih0z65/iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw
And when iTunes tells you to restore, Shift+Alt click Restore in the Summary window and select iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw.
Cheers.
downloaded as .zip file
the file downloaded as a .zip file how to i change it to the .ipsw
2.0 touch update
for the touch, to get it to navigate to the file, it's NOT shift-click. it's OPTION-click (update)
Option-click?
What do you mean option click? There is no key that says option...
Mac vs Windows
For Mac OS the key is Option and For Windows its Shift.
thx.
thx.

Itunes
Do you really need Itunes 7.7 to do the software upgrade to 2.0? Cause i have a older version of i tunes and the update didn't work, i kept getting a error message. Could it be because i don't have the new Itunes?
Is it for ipod touch or only
Is it for ipod touch or only for iphone????please help me!!
ur god
Fuck your comments
Just random
To itunes guy, yes, you NEED iTunes 7.7
I didn't think it mattered once but it makes all the difference
Im currently downloading the iPOD version of this firmware, so for the next guy, this is for iphone, but i got the link from the british guy "Yes, this is for iphone" I would highly recommend using that one for your pod, and this one for your phone.
Yes, i am god, and fuck u too. :P
