Can't update ipod touch to vers 4.0 with itunes 9.1.1

Hi folks,
Itunes tells me that new software (vers. 4.0) is available for my ipod touch but when I click UPDATE it mistakenly informs me that my itunes software (9.1.1) is up to date. I want to update the ipod touch software NOT the itunes software. Anyone else have this problem? Solution?
thanks for any help

Ok, to start with, iTunes version 9.1.1 cannot sync or work with iOS 4. You first have to download iTunes 9.2 in order to do so. If iTunes was wanting to download the latest version of itself, let it in order to upgrade to iOS 4. Or if it thinks it is the latest version, go to the Apple.com and download iTunes 9.2 . Once that's done, just download the iOS 4, sync it. And you're good. (warning, you may come into issues with the upgrade to iOS 4. just read one of my other posts that may solve it... or just keep trying till it works or contact Apple.) Hope this helped

Can I update Ipod Touch 4th generation to the New Itunes?

Hi,
I am trying to put the new Itunes on my Ipod but the more I read, the more I think I may not be able to
based on it running IOS 6 and unable to run IOS 7. Basically my main complaint with the version
of Itunes on my Ipod presently is the user interface, for as many of you know it has a bit of an issue
sorting artists albums chronologically without putting in the year of the recording in manually. The new
version of Itunes seems to do this automatically based on what I am seeing on my laptop and Iphone
which are both running it. But unfortunately my Ipod is stuck with the old Itunes app. Or is it? There
is obviously no update waiting for me in Itunes so please don't tell me to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ana,
Thanks for the help. I probably should have been a bit more detailed in my post. I would like
the Itunes app that is on my Iphone 5s now to be also available to me on my Ipod 4th generation.
I only included the info on the new Itunes on my laptop as it seems to be the same as my Iphone
in that it now (not previous to this new version) sorts albums chronologically automatically.
It also displays the year of the album in the listings which is also new and appreciated. Now
if I could just get this on my Ipod....

Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

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

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.
Britain666
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.

Two solutions:

- Directly download and install the update using the instuctions here:

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???
