1st gen iPod Touch will not update past 1.1.5

I am sure this question has been asked before and probably answered but I have tried just about everything I can think of and I cannot get an update past 1.1.5. I have restored my unit and downloaded firmware files for 2.2 and 3.1 but both give me an error trying to update. I know I have to purchase the update but I cannot find a way to do it through iTunes. It says my device is fully updated.

You can purchase the update here:

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • First Gen iPod Touch will not update to 2.2

    Hi guys, having a major issue here with this 2.2 update from Apple. I have a 16GB 1st Gen iPod Touch and am running Windows Vista Home Premium along with iTunes 8.
    When I click to update my software from 1.5.1 to 2.2, it goes through the whole process, but when it should finish, it says "Update could not be completed, Error 14." I then try to restore the iPod, it won't do that either. The iPod gets stuck on the screen showing the iTunes w/usb cable picture.
    Any help on this?

  • 1st gen ipod touch will not work with new iTunes 11.help!

    1st generation Ipod Touch.  I ran an update on my ITunes on my PC, and my IPOD will no longer connect to my itunes.  Please help.  If at all possible.

    iTunes 11 works with all model iPods.
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • 1st Gen Ipod Touch will not charge...arghhhhhh!!!

    I have been trying to charge my ipod touch for days now. It will do everything except charge. When I plug it into my mac the battery symbol shows the charge indicator for a couple of minutes then changes to the fully charged symbol, but the battery remains only 10% charged. After a few more minute it then switches itself off. Occasionally the battery indicator will show up as 50% charged but if I switch it off and on it goes back to 10% very frustrating.
    I have tried charging it overnight using 3 different USB cables plugged directly into my Mac, a firewire mains adapter and 2 different Ipod Speakers still nothing.
    I have restored it a number of times to the original settings and have upgraded to 3.0 to see if that would fix it all to no avail.
    Can someone help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

    Is it quite easy to replace them?
    I suppose it is 'for one skilled in the art' - if you didn't get Applecare and are out of warranty, do a little Googling and you will find several places that do touch battery replacement.

  • Ipod touch will not update!

    My ipod touch will not let me update to the most current software or even restore my ipod to factory settings. It will let me download, but when it is done and ready to install I get a message "There was a problem downloading the ipod software. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Does anyone know what this means? I never seemed to have a problem until I downloaded that January update a few months ago.
    I even tried reinstalling itunes but that did not help. Any help or suggestions are appreciated

    Hi Ed, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I think you'd have far better luck in the iPod touch section, or maybe the Windows part...

  • 1st gen iPod Touch does not load completely

    I just recently bought a 4th gen iPod Touch to replace my 1st generation one. The new iPod works fine, but the old one will not boot up. When I press the Wake button, it appears to be loading fine for about 30 seconds, but then it just stops. I know battery life isn't the issue because I had it syncing with my laptop for a few hours.

    But if this is your old iPod, perhaps it is the battery. It may no longer be able to hold charge, that's what happens to old batteries.
    Have you tried turning it on while it's connected to power? When you unplug the iPod from any power and try turning it on, look at the battery icon (if it's there). Is it full when it turns on and what level does it show just before it turns itself off again?

  • My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

    I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it.  Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio.  When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod.  I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great.  So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod.  Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod.  Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store?  The Ipod is only 6 months old.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
    That has worked for some users.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.

  • My iPod Touch will not update... Please help me!

    I have an iPod Touch 8gb model MC540LL and it will not update.  My iTunes program is 10.6 but every time I attempt to download and update the iPod I get the same message "The network connection could not be established." I've tried almost everything I know, even resetting the iPod's factory settings, but that won't work either, it recieves the same infernal message.  Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
    Oh!  And the iPod acts like it no longer has iTunes on it.

    If not successful also try changeint he DNS. See.

  • HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

    My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

    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.

  • Ipod touch will not update from IOS version 6.1.3 to IOS version 7

    Are the previous ipod touch devices not compatible? An ipad the same age updated just fine.

    Only the iPod 5th generation can update to iOS 7. If you have an earlier model then you cannot update to iOS 7.
