Can i up grade my ipod touch from ios 4 to ios 5

i have a 2yr old ipod touch, can i update it to ios5?

If you have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch, then yes you can.  If it's an older generation, then no you cannot.  See this article to help you identify what generation your iPod Touch belongs to.

  • HT1459 Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

    Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

    If it's a second generation iPod touch, no; they can't be updated past 4.2.1.
    If it's a third generation iPod touch, yes.
    If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, no; they can only be updated directly to 6.1.3.

  • How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

    You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
    "Syncing Photos from a Mac
    To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
    3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
    4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
    * If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
    * If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    * If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
    5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
    6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
    Hope this helps!

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • HT4972 How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?

    How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?  I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.

    You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1.  If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

  • Can't send music to iPod Touch from iTunes?

    hi all, this has been bothering me for a few weeks now and i can't figure it out.
    i've been trying to send mp3s to my iPod Touch and i just can't get it done. i'm running the newest iTunes with a fully updated iPod Touch 4th gen. it's connected via the Apple supplied cable into my Mac Mini.
    can i just paste mp3's onto the iPod Touch like i can in Windows with a standard mp3 player? iTunes just seems to make things really complicated for me.
    i'd appreciate any help.
    thanks a lot!

    i've had to download an App called 'air play it' just to listen to my mp3s while im in the living room because i can't send mp3s to my iPod Touch.
    'air play it' only acts as a streamer though so i can't copy songs from my Mac to the iPod Touch.
    thanks

  • HT4972 Can I update iPod touch from ios 4.2.1 to latest SW version?

    iTunes show "this version of the iPod software (4.2.1)is the  current version". Is that mean Ipod touch can't update iOS to higher version?

    On that iPod touch model, yes.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Updating iPod Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 6.1.6?

    I'm trying to update my (computer illiterate) boyfriend's iPod Touch for him, and I backed everything up successfully. Yet, sadly, iTunes is telling me that if I update iOS it will delete everything. Can anyone help me out? We'd appreciate it.

    If you follow these instructions the iPod will be updated without loosing anything. However, this computer will mow be the syncing computer. You will have to repeat on the computer normally used for syncing.
