TS2634 how do i update my ipod touch to ios 5.0?

How do i update my ipod touch to a newer version? It says I don't have any updates when I search.

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. As it's running an iOS version prior to 5.0, there won't be an option to update from the device itself.
A first or second generation iPod touch can't be updated to iOS 5.

  • HT4962 How do I update my ipod touch to ios 5 without loosing all of my data?

    Hey,
    I really want/ need to update my ipod touch to ios 5. I dont want to loose all of my media, apps etc. Is there a possible way of doing this? Ive heard about backing up your things but im unsure as to how to do it. Any help would be much appriciated.
    Thanks, Rosa

    As long as you do the update on the computer you use for syncing and all thesynced media (apps, music, video etc) ore in you iTunes libray or computer (for synced photos), you should be OK.  Howevery, things do happen so you should have a backup of your iTunes library somewhere..

    How do I update my ipod touch with out losing all my apps,music,pics ect?

    Just do the update on your syncing computer. All the items should be in your iTunes library or, for synced photos, on the computer.  The items will be synced back to the iPod during a latter stage of the update.

The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?

  • How do I update my ipod touch from 5.1 to 5.1.1 without backing up?

    Hi,
    I'd like to perform the backup from iOS 5.1 to 5.1.1 on my 64 gig ipod touch, but to do so without backing any data up onto my hard drive. I only have a few gigs left on my computer's hard drive and my ipod is almost full. Is this possible?
    My mac is a powerbook g4 1.67 ghz running os x 10.5.8.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have just bought an Ipod on ebay and advertised as 3rd Generation, I have also discovered that this is a 2nd Generation, the info I have researched follows:-
    Why can't I update my iPod touch to iOS 5?
    Only the third-generation or fourth-generation iPod touch can run iOS 5. My guess is that you have a second-generation model for which iOS 4.2.1 is the last version available. You can confirm the model you have here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 Regards.
      The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    Buyers beware make sure you get the right model number or you will not be able to download most of the new games apps. as these need 4.3.1. and later software which can not be done ona 2nd Generation.

  • I can't update my iPod touch to IOS 4.2.1 (Error -1)

    Im having trouble updating my ipod touch to IOS 4.2.1
    "An unknown error occured when restoring Jakinessex's ipod (-1)"
    What can I do to fix this?
    I click update on my new Macbook-Pro in Itunes,
    It vertifys the software,
    And just before the update happens,
    The error message pops up,
    Im also trying to change the apple id on the ipod(I dont have the store icon in the settings to change my apple id, Which the update my ipod hasn't got)
    So could you also tell me how to change the apple id in the Version IOS 2.2.1
    Thanks!

    Try on another computer
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
