Can you update from ios 6 to ios 8

I am thinking of buying an ipod touch from John Lewis retailing at £139 running ios 6 once I purchase the ipod can I then update the software to ios 8 by system update or will I have to by a newer one

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 you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    When building a new app with Adobe DPS to update an existing app, can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    Vinod is correct in that you can build a new app that's iPad-only, but if you try to submit it as an update to the existing app, Neil is correct--Apple will reject it because it's considered a downgrade. You either need to stick to the universal app and do something like create a single iPhone folio that refers users to the iPad, or you need to submit it as a new app.

  • Can't update from ios 7 to ios 7.0.2

    Ok, I have a ipod 5th gen with ios 7. But I can't update to ios 7.0.2. I reset my ipod and went on iTunes(up to date) and I still couldn't do it.

  • Can you update from an iOS 5 to iOS 7?

  • How can you downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to 6.1.3

    hello everyone can you please help me i need to downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to ios6.1.3 because my ipad dosent work realy well with it can you plese help me  

    Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.

  • Can you downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3?

    Is it possible to downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3 on iPhone 6? If so, how? After updating both my iPhone and iPad with iOS 8.2, I experienced several issues. The Bluetooth on my phobe is no longer workIng properly and will not sync with my car or any other Bluetooth device. The battery life for both devices has been reduced significantly. Also the update has caused glitches in several of my apps as welL. I don't plan on getting an Apple watch, so I don't need 8.2.

    No, downgrading iOS levels is not supported.

  • Can you update to iOS 7.2 from Apple Developer Centre?

    I was just interested if I could update my iPhone 5s iOS 7.1.1 to 7.2 fom ADC and how?
    I don't have experience in this, so any help would be useful! Thanks in advance!

    Apple has not released nor announced any "iOS 7.2", and we cannot discuss unreleased versions of iOS or any other Apple product in these forums. If you are a member of Apple's iOS Developer Program where you would have access to seed versions of Apple software, you will also have access to such information through that program.

  • Can you update from an external hard drive?

    My computer's hard drive is too small to hold the amount of music I need, but it's inconvenient and overpriced to buy a replacement internal hard drive, so I thought I'd buy an external one. But before I did, I just wanted to make sure you could properly update your iPod with music all on the external hard drive. Thanks.
