iOS 5.1 download problem

Try here:

iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

Check out the solution on thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3788617?answerId=17793399022#17793399022. The DNS change there worked for me.

Link does not work for me. I get:

I have pointed my DNS to OpenDNS DNS servers and this has resolved my problem it would appear that some ISP DNS servers are not ver good.....

• 208.67.222.222 (resolver1.opendns.com)
• 208.67.220.220 (resolver2.opendns.com)

Sorry for the original link. This one seems to work.

and there the posts there have more details on setting your DNS if you need them.

This worked for me, and i know nothing about settings or DNS, but I plugged in the first line for dns and tried downloading again and it worked, I got the blue progress bar shownig that the new OS update was downloading. Thanks!!

I have a Windows computer but,

when I downloaded the new software

there was an error, and my iPod stopped downloading the new software

but it stopped downloading and the downloading screen stayed on my iPod.

and it can not connect to iTunes

the internet connection is 100% so its not the internet connection

What do I have to do??
