So, I tried to update my iPod Touch to version iOS 5. At about 25% install, the process crashed, Windows expressing a USB error, resulting in turning my device into a temporary paper weight. After rebooting and failing again, it was time to pay more attention to the error from Microsoft.
The Setup:
I was updating my device via the USB hub, built into my Dell monitor. Computer - Windows XP, ASUS mainboard.
The Reason:
Not enough voltage/power was being produced to complete the upgrade.
The Solution:
Connect your device via its provided cable into a USB port directly on the system. Preferably the back port, as the front USB may be divided such as a monitor hub.
The Mystery:
Why can I sync data this way, but not commit to an OS update? Why do other USB devices warn you its not going to work properly if low power is detected; yet the mighty Apple device does not?
