Do you have a 4G iPod?  The one with the camera?  If not then yo have a 2G iPod that can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
If you have a 4G, what version of iTunes dod yu have? iOS 5 requires 10.5.x.

    I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
    How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

    Try a reset.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

    sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them, that my Iphone or receiving 5 supports 4G LTE,
    Thank you for your attention

    Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
    If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.

    It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

  • I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

    It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
    Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I am trying to obtain updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O

    Hi all, could someone please show me how I can get hold of updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O print, scan, copier. I have been advised by the site to click on 'Software Updates' but there doesn't seem to be anything available, unless I'm missing something.
    I appreciate that the machine is approaching 10 years old, but am hopeful of a solution.
    I would gratefully accept any idiot-proof solutions to this problem.

    Hi Den, Right, I've taken 2 screen shots to better illustrate what my problem is with getting to add the Epson printer to my printer list. Let's see if this works:
    Hopefully, the above screen shots better illustrate what my system is throwing up. Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

  • Can´t update pre installed iPhoto version 9.1.5 to 9.2 because in App Store is said i have to login with the ID I bought iPhoto! I did not buy iPhoto with any ID because it was already preinstalled!

    Did you try re-installing OS x Lion? That was the solution for me. Just make a back up with time machine and then restart your mac and during restart press ALT. Then you'll acces the support screen and there you can reinstall OS X lion on your macintosh HD.
    This was the solution the people from Apple support gave me and afterwards I could download the update perfectly.
