  • How do I get my iPod touch 3G to update to IOS 5.

    I  currently have IOS 4.2.1 on my iPod touch 3G.  I am running version 10 of iTunes. When I connect the iPod and  check for updates, I am told my software is the latest version.  Will IOS 5 run on iPod touch 3G and if so, how do I get this update?
    Thanks
    Jim McColl

    I think you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.2.1. If yours is a 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB can be either. To identify yours:

  • Significant Volume Reduction on Ipod Touch 3GS after upgrading to IOS 4.2

    Hi everyone. I just would like to ask why there is a significant decrease of sound volume after my ipod touch 3GS was upgraded from 3.1 to IOS 4.2. Settings are the same and I haveven't changed anything, so I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Is there a way now to increase or recover the volume? I am planning to downgrade it back (if it is still possible) just to get back the huge volume of ipod touch 3.1. Thanks in advance guys.

    I have had the same problem. I have put the same song on my standard Ipod and also my Itouch and the volume on the touch is considerabely lower when it plays through the Apple plug. When I play music through Pandora the volume is higher than the music that is uploaded. This has only happened since I updated to OS4. Any idea how to help with this?

  • How do I get my iPod Touch 5.1 to restore iOS 8?

    My iPod 5.1 Touch failed to upgrade today from iOS 8 to iOS 8.1. I received an error message during the upgrade installation attempt and was told to restore to iOS 8. It is now in restore mode. It downloads the iOS 8 restore file iPod5,1_8.0_12A365_Restore.ipsw but fails to install it. After processing the download, a RESTORE button reappears in iTunes on my HP laptop. When I press that, the cycle repeat. The iOS 8 restore file is again downloaded, a message appears reading that the file is being processed, and a restore button again appears. I can't get the iPod to restore. I am waiting for an Apple Support callback tomorrow, but would appreciate hearing your advice. I have tried pressing the power + home button simultaneously to try to reset the iPod. When I first upgraded from iOS 7.4 to iOS 8.0 the entire process took about 3 hours, but went without a hitch. I backed up the iPod on both iCloud and locally on my laptop before trying to upgrade to iOS 8.1, and I hope that once I get it to restore to 8.0, I will be able to sync all of my settings and apps. Has anyone else had this same issue? Thank you very much for your help. Cheers.

    Try deleting the existing iOS 8 file. It is located here

    Then try again.
    Next try DFU mode and then restore

  • New Ipod touch will not sync up with itunes. No error message, it just doesn't sync

    I just bought a new 32 gb ipod touch and it will not sync up with my itunes. I don't get an error message or anything like that, it just does not sync up. HELP!

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

  • 2nd Generation iPod Touch won't upgrade to iOS 4.2

    I just traded my old 2nd generation ipod touch with apple for one with a new battery. I sync it with itynes and am told to upgrade the IOS to 4.2. When I try, i get this message: The iPod "Bob's iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1). 
    I have also tried to update the software using my older MacBook with an earlier version of iTunes and get the same message.  I even complained to Apple and they sent me another replacement and I still get the message. I am told that you can upgrade the 2nd generation to 4.2 but it doesn't work for me. I have disabled my antivirus software and everything else I can think of. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I may be doing wrong?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 Can my ipod Touch MC011LL be upgraded to ios 7?

    Can my ipod Touch, model MC011LL be upgraded to ios 7?

    No. You have a 3G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • "Artists" category is missing on iPod Touch Music after "upgrading" to iOS 6

    After "upgrading" my iPod Touch to the "latest and greatest" iOS 6, Music no longer has an "Artists" category. Instead, it's been replaced by a second "Albums" category. Yes, that's right - I now have two "Albums" buttons in Music, instead of an "Artists" button and an "Albums" button. Is this just a glitch on my device, or is this a bug in iOS 6? I don't see how something so obvious could have slipped through product development and testing.

    That is probably a glitch. Try a hard reboot by holding down the home and power buttons at the same time until you see the black screen with the Apple logo. Then release the buttons. If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod.
