Cannot update 2nd gen ipod touch to ios 4.0

I have a 2nd gen ipod & cannot update to ios 4.0 which I need to download & replace some apps which were deleted in error. Have tried twice - first time it timed out & 2nd time there was an error msg which threatened to delete all content from the ipod. have tried updating itunes on the pc. Help!

When you update your iPod, iTunes must remove all content from the device in order to proceed with the update. Once the updated has been successfully installed, it then resyncs everything from your iTunes library back over to it as it was before.
So as long as all of your content that is currently on your iPod is still in your iTunes library, you should have no worries proceeding with the update and letting iTunes temporarily remove and resync your content.

I cannot update iPad to newer s/w iOS 8.0.2

I am trying to help my parents with an iPad that is probably a couple of years old. I was trying to update to a newer s/w push to 8.0.2 and it says it needs 1.8 GB to upload. I tried to update an app that needed 915 MB and both of them would not upload. They both said I needed more storage space. I deleted all apps that I could and the device says I have 1.9 GB available and 11.4 GB used.
My parents received this iPad after purchasing a cadillac vehicle but it does not seem they can do a lot with currently. Do I need to reset this iPad? I attempted to back up stuff to the iCloud but I cannot seem to check to make sure the back up worked. I pushed the Back up now tab and it says it took but I thought I could sign into the cloud to actually check but I cannot find the actual sign in screen to check.
Thanks for the help.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

I cannot update to the new version of IOS! :S help!, I cannot update to the new version of IOS! :S help!

while i try to upload the new version, it says, like 3 hours later, that the connection with internet failed, and it has a strenght signal, so im not sure. and i tried to restore, and it doesnt allow me to to that tooo!

I'm in the same boat. I just purchased my iPad a couple of days ago and when I tried to sync it with iTunes it told me I needed to upgrade to 4.3.3. I have satellite internet at home and when I tried to upload/download, my internet usage meter reached it's limit and it shut down after 5-10 minutes of download. I wasn't able to get the 4.3.3 version.
Would disabling my firewall and antivirus/antispyware really allow me to download the 4.3.3 without reaching my internet usage limit???
Also, I have over 200+ songs on my computer, but on step 4 of 5 of the sync, iTunes says it could not sync 100 of my songs b/c "it could not find them." They are filed in my iTunes folder on my computer (PC). I understand why 100 of my songs are not on my iPad, but what about the other 100+ songs, why did they not sync? Some of the songs "not found" I actually purchased on iTunes!!! How can they not be found???

HT1386 I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

I cannot connect to ITunes after updating to IOS 7.0.2,cannot update my apps nor download new apps. When I tap the quick test for IOS diagnostics it says it cannot verify the ticket number.

After updating to IOS 7.0.2 in my Ipad mini I cannot update my apps nor download new apps . It says "cannot connect to ITunes. " it's been almost 3 wks now. I have tried resetting it and trying other options like changing the DNS to just 8.8.8 etc but to no avail. I try to run the IOS diagnostics but it couldn't verify my ticket number. Everytime I open my mail it cannot identify server identity " Apple.imap.yahoo.com." But I just clicked "continue" anyway so I could get my mail.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Months later and I still cannot update to IOS 5.1!!!

You name it, Ive tried it. Done all the different trouble shooting bits and bobs, ie uninstalled security, itunes reinstalled ,disabled apple mobile, used a different pc, etc yet still i cannot update my ipad?
I even ventured to my local Apple store and the assistant had the same problem and couldn't help me either!
Is it only my Ipad having this problem? Why can't the Apple people see this device either??
Apart from throwing the thing in the bin does anyone else have any suggestions of what I can do that might work please?
Hoping someone will suggest something that I haven't already tried and will work.
Thanks in hopeful anticipation but i'm not holding my breath........!
Thank you..
Below I have pasted the last thing I tried that still didnt work...
From the Start menu, click All Programs and click Accessories.
Click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. The System Configuration Utility opens.
Click the General tab.
Select the "Selective Startup" option.
Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
Note: This step requires disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items, which can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers or prevent wireless keyboards and mice from functioning. This is only required during troubleshooting to help isolate third-party conflicts with Apple software.
Click the Startup tab.
Select the "iTunes" and "QuickTime" checkboxes in the list.
Click the Services tab.
Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
Click Disable All.
Note: If you are troubleshooting an issue related to iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, select the Apple Mobile Device checkbox.
Click OK.
Click Restart. After restarting (and logging in to Windows), a message may appear stating that Windows has blocked startup programs and indicates the Blocked startup programs icon in the notification area (far right) of the taskbar. Click the message.
Click the Blocked startup programs icon, select Run blocked program and select System Configuration Utility.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. A window appears confirming that "You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts." Click OK. The System Configuration Utility appears. Do not click OK here as this will prompt you to restart again. First try to reproduce the issue you were having.
If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.
Additional Information
If the issue is still occurring with Selective Startup mode, third-party security software may still be operating regardless of the state of Msconfig. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I can't upgrade from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 7.1.1. iPad says it has downloaded IOS 7.0.3 but cannot verify the installation. Cannot restore or update in iTunes either. Help please?

I can't upgrade from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 7.1.1 on my iPad 2. iPad says it has downloaded IOS 7.0.3 but cannot verify the installation if I try and install it. It claims that I have lost internet connection, which I have not. I cannot restore or update the iPad in iTunes either, if I try to, I get an error message which says that I 'do not have permission to access the requested resource'. I am using the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8. I have tried putting the iPad in recovery mode and restoring it with iTunes, the result is the same.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

@Rudegar
Thanks for the reply, but I've been having this problem for well over a week. If it is a corrupt download, is there some way of deleting it from the iPad and getting a new one?
Thanks

What version of iTunes do you have installed? If you are trying to update to iOS 6 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.

Downloaded audio book on my iphone does not appear in itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

Downloaded audio book to my iphone does not appear in my itunes library and i cannot update iOS without transfering it to library

You should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you may want to take a backup copy of it when you've copied it over to your computer

iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.

HT201210 trying to update my iPhone 4 to latest 5x ios and getting a "cannot update due to firmware not compatible

Trying to update iPhone 4 to the latest iOS 5, the error "cannot update due to incompatible firmware" prevents install. Any idea on where to find firmware update or resolve?

The correct way to upgrade the firmware is to first assure that you have the latest version of iTunes, then connect the phone to your computer. Click on the name of the phone in iTunes, then "Check for Updates" on the iPhone Summary screen. It should tell you there is a new version, and ask if you want to upgrade to it. If you are using any other method, or you downloaded a firmware file from a web site, you are asking for trouble.
The only thing you might want to do is to delete any .ipsw files on your computer before doing the above, in the unlikely event that the update file was corrupted during download.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

When i delete photos from photo stream in iphoto .. The pictures are still there on my iphone's photo stream. They are both connected to the same i cloud account.. And i cannot update to ios 5.1 on iphone.. Any help ??

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.
