I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to version 4.3 but cannot figure out how

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 software that I need to upgrade to 4.3.  How can I do this?  I cannot download apps without the upgrade.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

    The 4G/iOS 6 does not have an Activation Lock. That started with iOS 7.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • TS1846 I have some troubles recently with Final Cut Pro 7 and would like to remove my preferences. I can't find any "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder but I do have some preferences.  So, where could be the file ?

  • I have Adobe Creative Suite CS 3 Premium and would like to upgrade to CS 6. Is it free? How do I download it?

    I have Adobe Creative Suite CS 3 Premium and would like to upgrade to CS 6. Is it free? How do I download it?

    Unfortunately, there is no upgrade from CS3 to CS6. I couldn't even purchase CS6 Design Standard through Adobe. They're only promoting the CC version now. I did manage to speak with a rep through the Chat option at one point who offered to sell me the CS6 Design and Web Premium (I mentioned the CC version doesn't make sense financially for me) but the chat failed before I could go any further. The site is very unstable when searching Products. I ended up purchasing the CS6 Design Standard CD through eBay.

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • I purchased pro twice but cannot figure out how to access it.  I don't have a serial number.

    i purchased pro twice but cannot figure out how to access it.  I don't have a serial number.

    Hi lisalhawkins,
    I checked with your account and it shows that you have purchased an annual subscription of Adobe ExportPDF online service. Right?
    ExportPDF service does not require a serial number to access it.
    All you need to do is sign in at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID and password.
    Then, you can upload PDF files from your computer and convert them to other formats like Word, PowerPoint, etc.
    On completion, you can download the converted file on your computer and edit it for further use.
    Hope I am clear. Please let me know if you have further query on the same.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • When I open a new tab, there are 9 tiles that I am assuming should have 9 sites you've either been to or would like to make as favorites. I can't figure out how

    when I open a new tab, there are 9 tiles that I am assuming should have 9 sites you've either been to or would like to make as favorites. I can't figure out how to drag a favorite into one of the tiles.

    I've done this before. When I drag a bookmark to a new tab , all it does is opens up that book mark on that page , it doesn't place and save
    it in the tile

  • I have purchased a ringback tone for my 5c but cannot figure out how to assign it to my specific phone? i have three phones on my contract. any suggestions?

    I have purchased a ringback tone for my 5c but cannot figure out how to assign it to my specific phone? we have three phones on our contract. any suggestions?

    Each line needs to have it's own login and password for managing ringbacks and ringtone purchases, and backup and cloud services.
    Register each number on the account for it's own username and password, and make the ringback purchase under that login. If it's already purchased under a different number, call customer service and they can straighten it out for you.

  • I have an iMac (2007) with osx 10.5.8, I would like to upgrade to mountain lion 10.8. Is it possible?

    I have an iMac (2007) with OSX 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade it to mountain lion. It tells me I must have OSX 10.6 or higher but it won't let me upgrade to that. Is it possible or do I have to buy another iMac? Love my iMac! I'll never have a PC again. Macs all the way.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    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.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
            1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Note that you need a specific 2007 model to run Mountain Lion.

  • We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

    We have $10 credit and would like to buy from our wish list but do not see how

    There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen, but for some reason it's been removed from the current version of iTunes - you can buy songs etc individually by clicking on their price (not the downward pointing arrow next to the price)

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • I have OSX 7.2 Lion but cannot figure out how to setup a signature on apple mail for my emails.

    I just converted to OSx 7.2 Lion and starting using the applle mail instead of Entourage because I got a I phone 4S so I wanted to use the cloud.  But I can not figure out how or if you can setup a signature to use when emailing.  I had it with Entourage and its kinda nice for business so you can put your company name or title after you name without having to type it everytime.  Anyone know if you can do it in Lion?

    It's possible that the W2 you used was set up with the EchoSign service. It allows you to draw a signature with a mouse. This is available as well with more recent versions of Reader (10.1+) if the form isn't Reader-enabled or secured. You will see this in the Sign panel when the document is opened in Reader.
    You can otherwise get an EchoSign account and upload your document and send it to your customers through the EchoSign service. You can establish a free account to see how it works.
