    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

    That's as high as that model can upgrade to. You will need to buy a newer model to go higher.

    Hi gnaksung, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you're trying to update iTunes 10 on your Mac, but the update options are not working. 
    You may find the troubleshooting tips and download method in this article helpful with updating iTunes:

    If you're currently using OS X 10.6.8, see this link for the iTunes 11.4 download, which is the latest version that can be installed:

    After I tried to update my iPod 4 to iOS 5, my screen turned to the USB cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I try to restore it, it says that the 3014 error has occured. I went to check for support on iTunes and I did download the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1). I tried to restore it again and the same error occured. I dont understand half of the instructions for the resolution of the 3014 error code so I did the instructions that I understood and nothing has changed. Please tell me how I can fix it.

    Just what do you not understand?
    Did you try:
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Error 3014
    This error occurs when iTunes can't reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software and ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow these stepsfor assistance with security software.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow theadvanced iTunes Store troubleshooting steps to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information."
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS1492 When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server.  In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air.  Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • What do I do when I am trying to install my new version of itunes, and it says this: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.

    I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

  • TS2310 what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
    2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

    Current platform : Linux
    Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
    Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
    Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
    I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
    Please implement for Linux users too.
    Thanks !!

    If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

  • "check for updates" in add-ons manager says no updates available. But the plug-in check website says flash is outdated. Why?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If you want those asss you need a newer model iPod
