Can I upgrade Apple Ipod Software

Hello!
I was wondering if I can change the software in my Apple Ipod. I currently have 30GB 5th Gen. I have a friend who recently purchased 80GB. The software in tht is very good. Can you please advise if I can update my 30GB software to the one which now comes with 80GB.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading
Cheer!

No you cannot as they are different iPods and use different firmware.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • I just upgraded my ipod software to ios 5, and it first was not recognized by my itunes, then it froze.all i get is a spinning wheel. help!

    I just upgraded my ipod software to ios 5, after i upgraded, and restarted my computer, at first my itunes would not recognize my ipod, then i kept unplugging and replugging to try to get my ipod recognized, and my ipod has frozen. all i see now is a spinning wheel. what do i do?

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • My cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.

    Jeff:
    I wonder if he was referring to this KB Document: iPod Software 2.1 Information and Download. However, when you follow the path to the download all you can find is iTunes 7.2. Very strange.

    Can I still download iPod software updates? iPod is out of warranty.

    Can I still download iPod software updates?
    Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.
    iPod is out of warranty.
    This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

  • Can you upgrade a IPod 4G to a IPod 5g?

    Can you upgrade your iPod touch 4g to a 5g or anything? Thanks for your help!

    In the USA, Apple charges $149 for a refurbished one of those and $199 for a new one. If you choose to buy a secondhand one, use a site such as Amazon or eBay, or from a physical store which carries used Mac products, and ensure that the device doesn't have an activation lock set before buying it. If it seems far cheaper than Apple's refurbished price, it probably does.

  • Can u upgrade an ipod

    I am a new ipod user! I recently got a used 60GB ipod with color display. I thought it would play movies or podcasts. I guess I don't understand the hardware differences between the two. Can I upgrade my ipod to play movies and podcasts?

    OK first off, this is the wrong forum. You posted this to the iPHOTO forum, not iPod forum.
    Second, to answer your question directly, no you can not upgrade an ipod that doesn't have photo or video to now do so.
    But if you want to figure out exactly which iPod you have, start here...

  • DO NOT UPGRADE APPLE IPAD SOFTWARE !!

    This is a warning ! Do not accept to upgrade the IPod software through Itune as suggested. The upgrade has a high chance to fail and then you will be asked to go through a restore process and in doing so it will erase all the applications you purchased !!

    Whats wrong? My update worked just fine…
    What was happening exactly?
    I suggest the following steps:
    1. Go to the "Library" folder in you user account, there you find the "iTunes" and in there the "iPad Software Updates" folder. Take the "iPad1,13.2.1_7B405Restore.ipsw" file and delete it.
    2. Open iTunes and connect the iPad, when iTunes asks to download the software or you have to restore the iPad, just allow it.
    3. When iTunes is done with the restore, it will ask whether or not you like to restore from a backup -- VERY IMPORTANT -- don't let iTunes use you backup, instead set the iPad up as a new device…
    This makes sure no screwed config files are play back to your iPad, and you will loose nothing, all your Apps are in iTunes as well even you bought it directly from the iPad
    enjoy your magic machine
