| Can anyone help me I am unable to dowload SP2 because of the Access denied
| thing. Have tried everything that has been posted on here and it still will
| not work. My iPOD shuffle will not work because iTUNES needs to update and
| can`t because i can`t dowload SP2. Is there anything else I can do or
| download without haveing to download the whole of SP2. Thanks
