Cannot update for free the ipod touch software

in my itunes says that if want to update my ipod i have to pay ,and in the http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/ says that it is for free why?

that's the same update for iPhone and iPod Touch. but one is free (but you have a three years contract) and the other one is not.
you need to pay 4.95$ to get your iPod Touch 3.1 update unless you already paid for 3.0.

If the reset does no work
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Maybe the replacement is defective.

Cannot update FB app on ipod touch, started getting the message you can not update this software since you have not owned the major version"

I've been having no problem updating apps on my ipod touch, but two days ago I started getting the above message, only for the FB update. I have deleted, reinstalled, reset -nothing helps. Apple support could not figure it out either, they said it's a 3rd party app (they did try to help me but nothing worked). The notification that there is an update won't go away as long as FB is on my ipod. Help!

The ipod touch 5.1 software is rebooting constantly, is there a solution for this, the ipod touch 5.1 software is rebooting constantly, is there a solution for this

My new ipod touch (software 5.1) is rebooting constantly, white display problems, stuck problems, it is new, do you have a solution? is it software or hardware? I have visited you tube and I am surprised about a lot of problems like this

If you can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour, tyrb a reset and restore. If it continue to reboot then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Getting error 5002 when trying to purchase software update for 1st gen iPod Touch

The iPod Touch currently has iOS 2.2.1. I am trying to purchase the iOS 3.1 update by following the link on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
Upon signing in and agreeing to the terms of service I recieve error 5002. I have restored the iPod and the error still occurs. I have tried purchasing the update on multiple Apple accounts and on multiple computers, both Mac and PC with no success.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

It could be related to the errors than some users are seeing today and yesterday about checking billing address.

Can somebody confirm this for me: The iPod Touch's home button is smaller

than the iPhone's home button.
I don't know if it's just my imagination or what. But I swear it is. I also notice it's much more "clicky" whereas the iPhone's is more "soft" when you push it.

I'm sure that the "clicky" or "soft" varies from unit to unit.
Why is this important to you?
We have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
The iPod has a much louder "clickier" button. Very annoying compared to the "soft" iPhone button.
Does anybody else has this issue with iPod Touch?
My iPod button clicks. I like it; that way I know I've clicked it. It's not annoyingly loud but it does click.

My itunes said I needed an update, I unplugged the ipod touch and reset everything. When "connect to itunes" showed on the screen, I plugged it back in and Itunes no longer recognizes it. I tried 4 usb cables, 4 different computers, all new itunes

I've gone through all the troubleshooting of restarting computers & itunes and updating itunes. Trying to put in to DFU mode. I've tried everything. iTunes just doesnt recognize this ipod. I have multiple ipods/iphones, and everything else works. I am eliminating the people who are saying it's a broken pin, that cannot be it, because immediately before that moment, it was connected, everything on my ipod was listed in iTunes. It just promted me to update to 6.0.1 (or whatever the most recent is) I also seen a lot of issues posted on the web of people who had jailbroken phones. This ipod touch is standard, there were no jailbreaks or anything used ever.
There was a program called Wondershare Dr.Fone, which is said to be a photo recovery tool for ipods, to retrieve recently deleted photos. (Guess I shouldn't have been trying to do that) I downloaded this trial and when it opened it stated that Itunes and this could not run at the same time. It shut down iTunes automatically. At that point, I didn't do anything more with the Wondershare Dr. Fone, I didn't try to run the program or anything. iTunes prompted me that the device needed to be upgraded to 6.0.1. I had an option to download or download and install the updated 6.0.1 from Itunes. I clicked on download only. So iTunes was downloading the new version from my iPod Touch. I shut it down the Wondershare Dr. Fone, unplugged the iphone from itunes/computer, went in to settings and did a master reset. I plugged the device back in to the computer when the iTunes logo and usb came on the screen, and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize it anymore. I've tried 4 different usb cables and four different comuters all with up to date iTunes software. I did not break the port either, nothing is inside the port, or blocking it in anyway. All 4 computers and usb cables connected fine to other ipods and iphones.
So the questions are:
How can I get my ipod out of restore mode (iTunes logo and usb cord sybol) without iTunes recognizing it?
What could I have possibly done to this ipod?
Why doesn't anyone have the answer anywhere on the internet?
(Note: Even if the Ipod is placed in DFU mode, iTunes does not recognize it)
Please help!
Yours Truly,
Me & My UnRestorable IPOD TOUCH

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

Does Apple plan to discontinue support/update for 2nd Generation iPod touch as latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1?

I have 2nd Generation iPod touch and latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1. Most of the Apps on iTunes now require iOS 4.3 at minimum. Isn't it outrageous that Apple is not supporting such iOS update for older iPod? Is there plan to discontinue such support?

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch too and I currently have 24 Apps that I cannot update. Unlike you however, I hold the App developers responsible for the fact that they (the App developers) are not supporting iOS 4.2.1.
It is the App devloper who decides to modify their App so that it then requires a particular version of the iOS. Since a developer can have a free and a paid version of an App, it begs the question why don't they have the older and newer versions.
I now check the requirements for an App before I click on update. If it still only requires iOS 4.2.1, then I can update. If it requires a higher iOS, the I simply don't update it. One good thing is that by now, most of the older Apps are quite stable and bug free, so the update is usually to give something extra. Since I cannot update the App, I simply forgo the "extras".

How to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
possible??

4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

Updated and now the ipod communication software won't install or uninstall

After updating to the newest itunes (biggest mistake ever) the ipod communication files cannot be installed or uninstalled. I keep getting the same error message despite countless attempts to fix the install, uninstall and reinstall, install manually...
itunes does not recognize my ipods when they are plugged in, and I've now gone over a week without being able to sync them...completely worthless!

Not sure what exactly you did; your description is a bit confusing. What I suggest you do (assuming you want the English version for Windows)
*Download the installer from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe (or from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe if you don't want Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com)
*Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
*Run the utility and remove any Adobe Reader references
*Run the Adobe Reader installer

Does the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.

Do the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.
I would like to know if it supports the volume control, call answering function and next/back song panel in a bluetooth headphone. (AVRCP bluetooth)
Does it support headphones with microphone? (for Face Time, TinyChat or recording)
Does it support this device on bluetooth with the Ipod Touch 5th Gen?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for a speedy reply

Though this wasn't updated (not having the Ipod Touch 5) but seeing the Ipod Touch 4 having both AVRCP and A2DP, Ipod Touch 5 should also have those...
Thank you so much... Have a wonderful day

The buttons for the ipod touch

Hi everyone,
I'm having very fun with the ipod touch since two years(that is when I bought it), but there is a problem and I'll explain it.
The problem is that when you are at night on the bed without lights, and you're
listening to music, if you want to change of song you have to turn it on and see it with all the light in front of your eyes. It is very annoying.
But, if you want to turn up the volume you can touch the buttons that the ipod has for it. For this part, this buttons are very useful.
So, my suggestion for the apple company is to put another two buttons to change the song that anyone is listening to the next ipod touch generation (the 5th).
Me and a lot of people (blind people [who cannot use nothing of the ipod touch until now], for example) would really grate this petition.
Thank you very much for your attention,
Sincerely,
Ander, from Spain

I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3. I can no longer sync songs from itunes. They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded. How can I syn the new songs??

I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL. I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD. ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them. Does anyone know how I can get this resolved??

Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
For 31MToweVe
31MToweVeWhat happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method if you have not yet tried that.
