error 1004

@Eikeman, the time changed worked! 🙂

Thanks for this advice! That works for me! My calendar was one month in advance and prevented me from updating software on my ipod (installing new app was OK though). Anyway, setting the correct time (in 24 format) and day fixed the update right away. THANKS!!

Hi,

I had the same problam to and just fixed it. You might be getting the error for a different reason but mine was because my clock was ahead 2 months because i was cheating on games. so just make sure your clock is right!!!!

Guys, this is so easy! Just go to settings then general then reset then just click reset all settings! Thats it your problem should be solved!

I couldn't agree more. THe sticker price on this should at least include support for something that ultimately makes THEM money. It is a bit like paying your band AND the vendor for using your credit card to buy something. The audacity.

I too am having the exact same problem. My IT suggested my macs may have viruses. I download a virus app on a hard wired laptop no problem. I try to do it on my iPad which I have done over the same wireless network before with no problem and all of a sudden I get the ERROR 1004. This is Apple's problem and they should get a fix out ASAP.

Real simple fix. TURN YOUR DEVICE COMPLETELY OFF. Don't be messing with settings or trying to add fixes especially if you don't know what you are doing. I just had 1004 happen on 2 ipad 2's. I am a PC guru but not real familiar with the Apple platforms yet. One thing I learned over the years is reboot, restart or shut down completely. 99% of the time problems get resolved. In the case of the IPad and probably the IPhone you need to just shut it down. I don't care how stable the O/S is memory fills up with junk and conflicts occur. So reboot, restart or shut down. :)

Just ao you know macs will almost never get a virus, those are pretty much only for pcs ao it is a waste of money to buy virus software for a Mac

Who's talking about a virus. The Device dynamic memory never clears out completely and eventually residual junks created internal conflicts. Periodically you just have to completely shut the device down. I see odd problems on apples, androids, windows. The more sophisticated the greater the propensity for junk to build up. Btw I am not convinced applesare immune to viruses. Now that the apple market has expanded so greatly the possibility of the deviants to write vicious software now has increased.

Hi,

I have an iPad 1.

I went to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. No data or content is lost. Just, basically, personal preferences. I no longer get the 1004 error.

HTH

I was traveling this week and brought my iPad 1 with me. I used a hotel's wi-fi to do updates from iTunes and all was okay. Got back home today and tried to update from iTunes via my home's wifi and received the 1004 error. I turned it off, turned it back on again and still received the 1004 error. I decided to leave it off for about an hour....turned it back on again and I was able to do all my updates! So, no adjustments to the settings and it worked!

I had this problem too, and I tried changing my clock and resetting the iPod, but to no avail. However, when I followed the advice of another thread and reset my general settings, the error went away. Just go to Settings -> General -> Reset, and it should fix the error.

if you logout of itunes and relog in again it should work

Works correctly with the general Reset.

It works! But I had to reset settings twice for a Iphone 4, after change my apple id....

Thanks!!

Ok. Go to settings->store->app id-> sign out-> then sign in again :-)
