Why cannot I update my ipod touch to the latest operating syastem. the device is telling me that I have the latest version IOS 5.1.1

I need to update my ipod touch to the latest operating system as some of th newer apps will not work on IOS 5.1.1. However when I check for new updates my device is telling me that I have the latest version so I am unable to update to IOS 8. I also have an iphone 5 and do not have a problem updating this to the latest IOS. Can someone please help me?

Which version of the iPod touch do you have? I don't have it any more, but I had an iPod touch 4th generation and was unable to update that to the latest version of iOS.:

    why cant i update my ipod touch 3rd gen? it says that theres network problem and ask to check my network settings. help me please

    Try disabling your computer's security software during the downloading and installation.  I found that rebooting my router and modem helped too.

  • Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

    Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

    Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

    If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

    It shouldn't be.  You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID.  So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

  • Why is my iPod touch prompting me to restore to the factory settings? Some of my apps have stopped responding. Is this why? I plugged my iPod touch onto my iTunes account and a message popped up saying that iTunes couldn't read the iPod

    I plugged up my iPod touch to my iTunes library and it said that it couldnt recognize the iPod and the message told me to restore my iPod? Why would it prompt me to restore the factory settings? Also if I restore the iPod will it erase all of my music even though my music is in my library?
    Some of my apps stopped working would this be the reason I need to restore my iPod? I am scared to restore the settings and lose all of my music.
    I also put all of my apps in the utility folders, would this have anything to do with my iPod needing to be restored?

    Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

  • Can't update my ipod touch to iOS 5.3 (4th G)!

    i have an ipod touch 4th generation. i want to update it to iOS 5.3 but everytime i do from itunes an error message occurs in different forms. however the most frequent message is: There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod: "xxx's ipod". An unknown error occured(9006). (i currently have version 4.2.1)
    along with this, it assumes like 12 hours for the download to be complete and and arror message appears after a few hours.
    what is the problem and how should i resolve it to update my ipod touch?

    Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

    You need iTunes 11.1  or later
    See

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
