    Very vague.  Almost impossible to guess since you provide no info at all about your issue.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod touch. I have attempted at least 3 times to update itunes to 10.10.54. It seemed to work, but then, i am unable to update my 3rd gen ipod touch. It says my version of 4.21. I know that there are higher versions. I have windows

    i ant update it. HELP

    Are you sure it is really a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours:

  • My 3rd Generation iPod touch with iOS 5.1.1 is not able to download emails inside a label or folder in different email a/c imap or exchange??

    Hi,
    I upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 and not I am not able to download emails withing a folder or label (gmail) for any a/c configured with imap or exchange.

    Thank you for your reply. We did establish that the mail was in fact coming in but could not be seen in the actual MAC MAIL application. I just posted the following update:
    It is also a problem with POP3, not just IMAP. This seems to be widespread. My MAC Mail was working fine until the 10.10.1 update. Geek Squad Agents spent almost 8 hours trying to figure this out and get me up and running again. They did EVERYTHING! And I do mean EVERYTHING (a shout out to them for going above and beyond with this!) Nothing worked. It seems that no changes were made to MAC MAIL in the upgrade and it is still the version used in Mavericks. It also seems that it is NOT compatible with the 10.10.1 upgrade and therefore the PLIST file becomes corrupt even with a re-build (we re-built mine 2 times). They recommended a complete reinstall of 10.10.1, but due to the holiday selling season I'm going to wait until JAN to take my computer in to Best Buy for this. I'm also hoping that Apple will send out an update fixing this issue before then. In the mean time, they have installed Mozilla Thunderbird (a free open source mail app) so that I can send and receive email via my computer!
    Apple will need to fix this but until them I'm recommending anyone with this problem try a complete reinstall or use another email application on their computer.

  • Can you update a 2nd generation iPod touch with iOS 5?

    The current version of iOS I have as of now is 4.2.1.  I was wondering if this was possible, if so, please let me know how so I can update it. 

    No. A 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • My NEW Iphone 4 'restored' to my 3rd generation Ipod touch. How can I get the old settings back?

    Please Help! I just got an IPhone 4 today from work and I wanted to 'sync' my IPod touch apps to the Iphone and it 'restored' to my OLD 3G Ipod Touch settings! How can I get it back to what it was when I received it from work? My work email account is completely GONE and it was already all set up when I recieved the phone. I am extremely worried that I won't be able to go back to what it was! PLease please tell me I can restore it back to how it was....with my email account all set up and everything. I would appreciate any help I can get...I just can't believe I did this!!! THANK YOU!

    Unless the device was backed up prior to restoring the backup from the iPod Touch, there is nothing to restore.
    Just set up the email account again... it's not difficult, but you may need information from your corporate IT dept to set it up.

  • How to update my 1st Generation iPod Touch

    How can I update my first generation iPod touch to iOS 4.3 if it's updated currently to iOS 4.2.1?
    I tied going to iTunes and checking for an update, but it tells me that it's updated to the current version.
    Can I update the iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3 without payments?

    You can't. That is the last version for that model, which is a 2nd Generation:
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher.

  • I'm trying to update my 2nd gen iPod touch to ios 4.2.1 and cannot find it in the itunes store. Any ideas or help?

    I'm trying to update my 2nd generation ipod touch to ios 4.2.1 so I can get some games and stuff for my daughter. I saw on apple suppport that it was available in the itunes store, but cannot find it. Any ideas or help?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • HT4972 I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch using itunes.  I understand I must erase and restore everything first.  Must I do this with my ipod plugged in to my pc?

    I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I understand I need to erase and restore my device first.  Must I do this with it plugged into my pc? 

    All you have to do is connect the iPod to our computer and update via iTunes. You do not have to seperately erase and restore the iPod. That is done automatically as part of the update process.
    To update see:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer. Y will go to iOS 5.1.1. the last update fopr the 3G
