Hardware or Software? Download Errors.
The problem is downloading, the question is whether the Touch is faulty.
Using the machine as it was - many apps - tried to download a track into Tap Tap Revenge from a local Borders store and I got the same download error I have been having with it. Safari worked well. (I have also tried with another network in the city where I know for afact it has no restrictiuons).
Came back home, restored the machine to as new (no backup used)
Installed TTR
Try to get a track - Download error
Open iTunes (I have never used this on the Touch before), went to download a video podcast (It was 3.1mb). This downloaded around 200kb then the Time remaining extended to several hours before giving an error.
I restarted the download, got another ~200kb, error.
(This was the most useful thing I have done because I could actually see the problem, see the time going from 60s to 60mins and more)
Open App Store, found Trism (8.7mb) and clicked Install. I then thought it could be the phones in the house so went downstairs. By the time I had unplugged the phones Trism had installed.
Opened iTunes, tried the podcast again, got the same 200kb then error.
(The following was all without and with the phones. I did what I could twice)
Open App Store, found Google Earth. Now... this said 'Installing' but the throbber was not appearing. I went to Safari and downloaded a web page. Because these are going to be fairly light a 200kb limit probably will not affect it, but the page worked. back to check the install, nothing. Opened Settings, checked those (I use mac filtering and static ip's so have no encryption). All was good. But still no throbber.
And it's now 15 mins later, the Google Earth icon has 'Loading...' and the App Store tells me it is installed. (And I have tried walking around the house holding it to see if there is a signal sweet spot).
So... it cannot therefore be a TTR error because iTunes and now the App Store are both doing the same. I have done everything I possibly can to isolate a cause and if there IS a cause then it is out of my control. But to me this now seems like a machine problem, that the Touch is faulty in some way.
Router is Belkin, I have tried all channels. It uses g&b normally but Auto 108mps gave no improvement. This router supports several devices without any problems including macbook, PS3 and Xbox
So, given the fact an app can install, the web works but the podcast download and tracks stall, is it the Touch or something I can cure?
All advice welcome 🙂
