Can I update my Ipod touch first generation to iOS 4.3?

I've had my 16 GB ipod touch first generation (With built in WiFi) since it was the newest model out. I would like to update to a newer model but money is tight. I was hoping someone could tell me if, and how, I can update my ipod to the latest software from Apple, so as to get apps and games and an overall fresher feel for the device. It is in very good shape, never damaged or serviced, and I still have close to 3 GB of room on it. I use it 99.5% for music storage and playage. I am brutally ignorant when it comes to keeping up to date with technology, and even moreso with apple, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

There is no 8 GB 3G iPod.  When the 3G ipods were introduced, the 8GB 2G ipod continued to be sold with update iOS,

If I am correct. The 1st gens highest os is 3.1.3. The 2nd gens highest os is 4.2.1. The 8 gig 3rd gens highest os is 4.2.1. The 32gig or 64 gig 3rd gens highest os is the newest version. The 4th gen highest os is the newest version. The answer is No

    All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

  • Can't update my iPod Touch 5th generation to iOS 6.1 - error 3194

    I saw there was an update so I plugged it into my PC and it said that there was a new update available. I always update via iTunes. It download the update and started to backup my iPod. Then when it was updating and error 3194 popped up. I've tried several times, I've rebooted my PC, tried doing that thing with the host file and what not. Then I tried to install it via Wi-Fi but it just said that I wan't connected to Wi-Fi which I was.
    How can I fix this? Is it a problem on Apple's side?

    Try updating the iPod touch again.
    A few people in this thread say the problem isn't happening anymore.

  • I can't update my Ipod Touch 2nd Generation to IOS 5, why?

    I would really like to get IOS 5. But when I plug my scond gen. Ipod Touch into Itunes, it says that 4.3.1 is the latest update.
    Please Help, thanks in advance.
    P.S: my pc is a Toshiba Satilite, running Windows Vista Home Premium, and I have Itunes 10.5.

    So, because it's not compatible with IOS 5, does that mean I won't be able to use the new apps?
    Before buying in App you should read the description carefully. Each App states the requirements and on which platform it will be able to run. And yes, sorry, many of the new Apps require IOS 5, and since they have been compiled for IOS 5 and their code requires the runtime support of the OS, it is impossible to run them on a different OS.
    Please could you tell me if there is a way to update it without going via Itunes because a bit of internet research tells me that Apple do it so that you just have to buy a new Ipod. I do not want to do any illegal downloads.
    An interesting question, but I will not be so taktless to answer that question in a forum provided by Apple, and you should not ask us to do that 

  • I can't update my ipod touch 5th generation to iOS 6.1.2

    iTunes says it has detected my an error and need to restore. I tried to restore few times, it give me the same messages.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hi all i won't update my iPod touch 4 generation to ios 5 but there are win the download end its showing a massage (the network connection timed out)

    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.... >.<

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

    Try quitting the app out of your multitasking bar, and then resetting (hold power an home buttons til device shuts off and comes back on).

  • What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

    I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

    Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.
