Can't Update iPod Touch 4thGen 32GB

Hey There!  I am trying to update my iPod to the latest 5.0.1 iOS, my iPod is currently running the 4.1 iOS. iTunes will download the update, and then say that its processing the file. iTunes will then display a dialog box saying the network connection timed out, which isn't true because I have 3 other apps and a Movie that are continuing to download. My computer is a Toshiba Laptop running Windows 7. When is was living with my parents, the computer I used was a Dell 4600 Series running Windows XP. At the time, I was trying to update to the 4.3 iOS and I had the same issue. Is it my iPod thats special and won't accept the update? There is a Authorized Apple store near where I live, could I take the iPod to them and they could install they update for me, then I could just sync it with my iTunes account?

This is asked and answered many times every day.

  • Can't update iPod touch 3. No iTunes app showing & no software update available in updates...HELP

    I can't get iPod touch updated. Can't get it connected to cloud. There are no iTunes app, software updates or cloud options in menus. I don't know what to do.

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

    hello, my name is ( mohannad)
    i want to order iPod touch 4g 32GB and Shipped to my country " Saudi Arabia (SA)"? can i?
    thank for yout work

    Apple Stores and authorized Apple dealers will not ship outside of their own country. You can look for authorized Apple resellers in the KSA here:

    There are a number of dealers in Riyadh, and probably are in other major KSA cities.

  • Can not update Ipod touch to IOS 5

    I have a ipod touch 4th generation 32gb and I can not update my ipod to the new IOS 5 software. A error message keeps popping up saying that the network connection has timed out. I have tried various things to get rid of this problem restarting my laptop and also I have updated my itunes software to the newest one. Any help with this problem will be great cheers

    Two solutions:
    - Disable the computer's security software during the download and update.
    - Directly download and install the update using the instuctions here:

  • Can't Update iPod Touch 1G

    Hello I am currently using an iPod Touch 1G, version: 2.2.1.
    The problem I am having is that I can't update it. I've gone back to it after not using in a while and it won't allow me to use the free apps that I used to enjoy such as iMob until I update to version 3.0.
    However my iTunes is telling me that this is the latest version and doesn't give me the option to update. I have tried restoring the iPod, as well as updating and reinstalling iTunes.
    I'm not sure where the problem is, whether it is my iTunes, iPod or if the 1G can't be updated any further(which I really wouldn't be happy about).
    This iPod has never been hacked or jailbroken or whatever other terms that describe it being used against Apples policies.
    I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance.

    p.s. Forgot to add that I use 64 bit version of iTunes (not sure if it matters).

    OK sorry but found the answer on another topic.
    Bit ridiculous that 1G users have to pay to update to an inferior version whereas everyone else gets the latest one free though.

  • Can not update ipod touch, can not update ipod touch

    Hello,
    I have a ipod touch 1st gen and i havent used it for a few years, now i powered it up back again, working fine and able to synchronize etc.

    Can anyone help me out?

  • Help. I can't update iPod Touch 1st gen from ios 2.1.2 to 3.1.1; already paid for it.

    Hi all,
      I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
      I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one  seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
      I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
      Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.

    Yes, I have contacted them. They are who told me to try a few of the "fixes". They actually said they had never heard of this error, or any problems relating to his download. Also, when I was talking to them, they came here to this forum to find the answer...:/ This is why I am asking here. I was hoping someone had an idea I hadn't tried already.
    Thanks.

  • Can't Update iPod Touch

    For some reason I cannot update my iPod touch. I skipped my 3.0 update b/c I didn't have the funds and might've made it stop checking for updates. But now I'm stuck on 2.2.1 and want to update but can't. When I click the "Check for Updates" button, it tells me that I'm up to date. Thoughts?

    I'm in exactly the same boat! I want to upgrade from 2.x to 3.x, and I can't. What's up with that? Before 4.x came out, I had the option to upgrade to 3.x. I have an updated version of an app that requires 3.x, so how do I upgrade???

  • 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.

  • How can I update ipod touch model MCO86LL

    My son just received this ipod touch and when I tried to download games for him everything is saying "incompatible with this version of ipod touch."  It is 4.2.1 and someone told me I couldn't update it to a newer version!?  Can I update this ipod?

    You do not. You have a 2G and those ca nonly go to 4.2.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Can't update ipod touch 2nd gen to iOS4

    Hi, I have a old ipod touch 2nd gen. I just did a factory restore and it was restore to iOS 2.2.1. When i click Check for Update in iTune, it says 2.2.1 the current version. How do i get to update the ipod touch to iOS4 ?

    Are you sure you don't actually have a 1G iPod Touch?  See this article to help you determine what generation it is.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's truly a 1G iPod Touch, you can only upgrade to iOS 3.1 using this link to purchase the update.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
    Otherwise, if you do have a 2G iPod Touch, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes.

  • Can't update ipod touch (1st Generation) to iOS3

    I have a 1st generatiom ipod touch 8GB. I am trying to update the software from iOS3 so I can download apps on to it. It currently runs 1.1.5
    I have purchased the upgrade through itunes (latest version) but it will crash when it trys to download the update and I get the following message
    "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 Software Update for iPod touch. An unknown error occurred (8288)."
    Can anyone help

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:

    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!
    Tiffany
    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • Can't update iPod touch from Russia

    Hello,
    I have bought iPod touch today. I have receipt and guarantee.
    But I can't upgrade firmware (2.0) because I can't create account in iTunes Store.
    iTunes store registration returns "An Error occurred. The iTunes Store could not process your request, please try again later".
    I am receiving this message 2 hours.
    Could anyone help my or explain me what happens?
    Best regards,

    I feel fortunate that I'd not bought the Touch yesterday as I'd planned. Even though the Mexican Apple site links to the download for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the link simply opens the USA iTunes store, which then notifies me that purchases through iTunes are unavailable in my country.
    So, I guess I'll not buy an iPod Touch. I'm still researching this, though, for one dealer I talked with acted as if the iPod Touch was upgradable. Very disappointing.

  • Can't update iPod Touch SW from 1.1.3 (with software upgrade) - 1602 error

    I get errors trying to sync since the 1.1.4 upgrade became available, plus I do connect and sync, I can't update to 1.1.4: "The iPod could not be updated. An Unknown error occurred (1602)." Has anyone else encountered this? Any solution ideas? Any way to contact Apple tech support on this?

    I think that this is the error you get when the sync fails due to lack of sufficent US power (or hyperthreading - see other discussions).
    I solved it in the short term by unplugging as many USB devices as I could, restarting everything including powering off the IPOD then recovering the IPOD. The longer term solution was to buy an external USB hub. I have an Intel motherboard. I'm not sure if other motherboards have simular issues.
