downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknownerror occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and tryagain. Keeps coming up when I try upgrading iOs 3.1.1 software to my 8gb 1st generation iPod touch! Please help! I've looked at all other posts related and none helped. Advertisement Reply Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do: “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3440319?tstart=0 ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!” Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried: “Hi all, I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there http://www.dllgreat.com/know/there-was-a-problem-downloading-ios-3-1-1-software-update-for-ipod-touch-an-unknown-error-occurred-8288-please-check-that-the-connection-to-the-network-is-active-and-try-again.html was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue. I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several. I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter. Can anyone help? Please?! Thank you!!! P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.” Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded! Tiffany P.S. The post by S
Earlier for an upgrade to iOS 2.0, it was $10. I decided to upgrade and paid for downloading the iOS 3.1 fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 However at the time of downloading the upgrade, I http://www.parkhi.net/2011/12/error-8288-ipod-touch-upgrade-ios-31.html was getting error 8288 as under: I was sure that there wasn't any kind of problem with my internet connection and I wasn't behind any firewall either. So I tried to search for the possible fixes on http://www.dllquick.com/know/hello-i-wanted-to-update-my-ipod-touch-1st-generation-the-current-software-is-1-1-5-so-i-purchased-ios-3-1-software-update-for-ipod-touch-1st-generation-and-than-i-get-an-error-so-it-did-not-upgrade.html Google and in Apple Support Communities as well. I came to know that there are lots of Apple users who are facing this problem, but there wasn't any solution offered in any of these forums. So ipod touch I contacted Apple Customer Support on email. But I wasn't getting any solution. In one of the forums, an Apple user with similar problem had posted that he too had contacted Apple Support for this and they just refunded the purchase price, rather than offering any solution. Finally I did some moreresearchon the internet and noticed that a lot of users facing this problem were using iTunes 10.5. So I decided to ipod touch download try and look for the workaround on my own and it worked. Then I informed Apple Customer Support that I have fixed the problem on my own and they can close the thread. To my surprise, Apple Customer Support asked me in return about how did I fix the problem. The excerpts from their mail are reproduced below in italics, verbatim: "I'm so glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue! Now, if you don't mind me asking, how did you fix it? That'd be great to know, so that I can provide this to my co-workers and other customers who have this issue still.Thank you in advance! Take care. :)" I told them that Apple is the company which doesn't provide anything to its customers, free of cost. They charge for software upgrades and even for Customer Support. So I informed them that I am also justified in expecting some sort of reward from them, in lieu of responding to their request and letting them know how did I fix that. My request was denied saying that Customer Support doesn't have any access to free products. I accepted that since I knew their limitations.Now I am sharing the workaround which I shared with Apple as well. CAUTION: This workaround has worked
