I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

I still haven't received the iOS 7 update for my iPod Touch 4th Generation

I understand that the iOS 7 update has been out for a while but I still havent't recieved the update.

iPod Touch (4th generation) won't support iOS7 because it only has 256 MB ram, iPod Touch (5th generation) has 512 MB ram. (iOS update 6.1.3) is the last and end of line for the device therefore:
There is nothing you can do . . . If you want iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).

She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then. I can not exit out of itunes either.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS. It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.

Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further. If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them.

TS1702 I have the ipod touch 1st generation and my downloaded apps won't run. How do i get them to work?

I have the ipod touch 1st generation and none of my downloaded apps will run. how do i get them to work? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What happens when you try to use the apps?
You say you have a 1G iPod but the profile says iOS 4.2. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3.

HT2052 Need another link to download iOS 3.1 for my ipod touch 1st generation!

I can't find anywhere to purchase and download iOS 3.1 for my ipod touch 1st generation (iOS 2.2.1 at the moment), despite clicking through the link provided in this article. It just leads me to a page to download iTunes to my computer which I already have! Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!

Are you using the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3)? What happens if you try to open the link using a different web browser such as Firefox or Chrome?

Since the last software update for mountain lion, I am having a problem when trying to remove any screenshots to the trash. A box appears saying "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this"
I have checked Finder Preferences and cannot find any box that I can 'UNTICK' to resolve this. I sometimes take a lot of screenshots when I am researching something and now find I have to enter my password for every screenshot to be removed to trash.
Anyone got a solution please, Thanks

How do I get the latest ios update on my iPod touch 2nd generation?

My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1. I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system when I know that ios 6 has just come out. This is frustrating because since the operating system is still ios 4, it is very slow and crashes frequently. Since it is so slow, I have begun to use it less and less for certain things because it is so slow.

"My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1. "
That is absultely correct.
" I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system"
That is also correct. Ios 4.2.1 is the latest available software for the ipod touch 2nd gen

What is the best user guide for my ipod touch 2nd generation using ios 4.2.1?

I have a second hand ipod touch 2nd generation using ios 4.2.1, this is my first mobile apple device and I want to read up on it this weekend but the guides seem to be for devices running ios3 on 2nd gen or 4.3 on 3rd+ gen, none for 2nd gen with ios4. is there one i haven't found or should I read the ios3 guide then the ios 4.3 guide?

And here is a video that someone else did walking through some of the features on a 2nd gen:
