I just got the ipod touch 4.1 32gig and already had a ipod touch 2.0. The recent update will only download to the old ipod touch 2.0. If I try to download to the ipod touch 4.1, it will get to the end of the download and it give me an error message saying it timed out and it's having network problems. The download was complete when the error message came up. And how can it update the 2.0 the first time I tried while I tried to upload on the 4.1 6 times now. The 4.1 was highlighted new and shouldn't have a conflict with the 2.0.

I want to know the answer, too. I've repeated the download/update process at least ten times with the same frustrating result '... problem downloading... network timed out ... etc. when I know there's no network problem (I've tried three different networks). I'm almost at the stage of doing a complete iTunes uninstallation/reinstallation to try and resolve the problem but hope that someone here can come up with an answer.

I tried numerous times with error 3259 session timed out...I even tried by passing my router...no success..finally I backed up my ipod...went into restore mode..restored ipod...and there it did FINALLY update to 4.2. I had windows firewall disabled as well as kapersky disabled. This was probably the 10th time but I got it now. Had to delete everything on ipod ...don't let that scare you . you can just resync with your library. Hope this helps its been a long road...since xmas.
