Can I update iOS from 6 to 8 directly

Hi, all, I am using iPhone5 with iOS 6.1.4. Since iOS 8 is out and I like to try it, but the Software Update still shows 7.1.2. I am wondering can I skip iOS7 and update to iOS8 directly.
cheers

I'm assuming iTunes is showing the same thing? In that case I'm afraid the answer is no, you'll have to go to 7 and then to 8.

You can update to iOS 7 using iTunes from your computer or if your iPhone is running iOS 5 or greater Over The Air

Update iOS from 3.1 to 4.2

i updated iOS from 3.1 to 4.2 after i click at update now..but after complete, the phone restart and now cant read the SIM. so cant unlock!!!

The first thing you need to do is confirm which model of Touch you have.Look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 which will help you identify your model. look further down that page at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and examine the pictures. Notice the difference between a 1st and 2nd generation model.
If your iPod is a 1st generation model, it cannot be upgraaded to anything past iOS 3.1.3.
If it's a 2nd generation model, I think I'm right in saying that to upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 (which is as high as a 2nd gen Touch can go) you need to purchase the update. (I've tried finding a speedcific page about this, but have had no luck at the moment, sorry.)

How can I update iOS without losing my media?

Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Wait till IOS 7 has been officially released in fall - now it is only available for developers.

Not true... You do not need iOS 6 before iOS 7.

Hi the_mad_movies,
It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and check for updates as described at the bottom of that article; if an update appears, it's the latest version available for your iPod touch.

Can I update iPhoto from version 8.1.2 to 9 or higher versionfor free?

Is your profile signature "Mac OS X (10.6.8)" still current? With that MacOS X version you can upgrade to iPhoto 9.2.x. Only, the iPhoto version 9.5.1 currently sold at the AppStore requires MacOS X 10.9.x. If you you are not running Mavericks, you could try to buy a boxed retail version of iLife '11. That will have a compatible early iPhoto 9.x version.
