Well since it said there was a problem in the Itunes Store I thought maybe others would have the same difficulties. I'll go to the apple forums.

Not a solution but I guess this is the problem.

"Error -4 is a time out error caused by high server traffic. However, synching software to an iPod doesn't require any server contact. As the problem resides with the iPod Touch and not on the iTunes Store, you will need to contact technical support for further assistance with this error. To find the appropriate phone number, please visit:

update to the newest version of itunes before trying to install.

i updated my phone and got this error the first time, just update, restart, and keep trying till it works.

and if all else fails play a little coldplay in itunes while updating.

Can't help you^^ but to everyone else having to update problem. I ask my dad who's a computer geek (he's a photographer) and he says that it's most definitely because so many people are trying to get it at once so the Itunes Store just has an overload type deal. Patience.

FUCK. I spoke too soon. It just took me through all the license agreement shit then told me to try my purchase again. And of course it didn't work when I tried again. Fuck this.

Definitely not a unique problem. Apple's servers are getting slammed. My advice is to wait until it all calms down tomorrow. It's not really that big of an update anyway. Really the only main new features (for me - iPod touch owner) were Push Notifications, Spotlight Search and Cut/Copy/Paste. Even on the iPhone, MMS and Tethering are disabled on AT&T, so there's no rush.
