How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV
Hello and thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS for a 1st Generation iPod Touch so that it can use the Remote App from I tunes to control the Apple TV device. It needs to be the 3.1.2 version, but Apple seems to offer only 3.1 I found the 3.1.2 version on a non-apple site and attempted to download and install it but it didn't work out. (Error 14). I was expecting to control the TV with my 1G Touch and am a little disappointed with Apple that the older Touch units seemingly cannot do this. Any help appreciated.You can buy 3.1 thru iTunes then use it to upgrade to 3.1.3.

HT1430 how do i upgrade my iphone 3gs software 3.1.2 to 4.0.1?
How do i upgrade my iphonr 3gs software 3.1.2 to v4.0.1? Itunes will only offer version 5.1.1 and my phone is not compatible; how can i select version 4.0.1?
Hello people,
I am new here, but I do have the same problem as posted above. Except through iTunes it states my phone is up to date with the 4.2.1. iOS. I do not get any option to upgrade it to a newer version. Clicking check for updates does not give me any options. Where do I get this 5.xx update?
I am trying to hold onto this 3gs untill the New iPhone is out in a (hopefully) little while and then switch over. But unfortunately the 3gs is really bogging down lately. Today I didn't even get the phone to turn on. Just a white screen that's all. Battery still at 75% (or at least just before the white screen. It didn't even reset. I managed a backup, but I was hoping the new software could help out here...
So any advice or solutions on getting that new software would be most welcome.
Kind regards,
Jay -

How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5? I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.
You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1. If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

I have a first generation touch with OS3.1.3. When I turned it on yesterday and tried to connect to Wi-Fi; It says choose a Network, but none display. If I hit "other", nothing shows; it won't even recognize my home network. Help! This has never happened before!
Nothing is grayed out. It just doesn't want to find any networks. Usually, a whole list appears; mine is at the top. It tries to connect less than 2 seconds and just stops...nothing appears.

How do I upgrade my iPod touch to IOS 5.0.1 without losing my app data?
I want to upgrade my iPod touch (4.3.3) to IOS 5.0.1, but I don't want to lose my app data (Tiny Tower, etc.)
I transferred all my purchases to the host computer. I also backed up my app data. Before I update the IOS software on my iPod touch, I'd like to find out if the app data on my iPod will be erased as part of the upgrade.
If so, will a restore from backup restore the app data?See Here Updating to iOS 5 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

My Twitter app requires an iOS 4.0 update but I have a first generation touch, can it be updated?.
My Twitter app had some sort of bug where whenever I opened it, it showed a draft of one of my previous tweets. I deleted it and was going to reload it to see if it fixed the problem but when I tried to install the Twitter app again this message showed up Update Required "This app requires iOS 4.0" I have a first generation iPod Touch and I'm not sure if that update is available for my Touch? I hope someone can help, I love my touch and I love my Twitter app.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
Snow Leopard General requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space

apply.

Upgrading to Lion
First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
