  • I have an IPod touch model MB528C and cannot get it to update past 4.2.1 operating system. Is that as high as it will update for operating system.

    I have an iPod touch model MB528C and I can't get it to update. It has version 4.2.1 on it now, is this the most recent update it will accept.

    Ya know, I don't know about the rest of the Apple users of the world, but I am sick to death of Apple and their ********! You spend a lot of money and before you know it, your device is "antiquated"....NEVER,NEVER, NEVER WILL I HAVE AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN. APPLE JUST PLAIN STINKS!!!...Not to mention they are getting rich all the sweat of third world countries. Anlyone with a social conscience should boycott Apple!
    Really?
    How is it different than all other software driven devices/tvs/cars/computers/dvd players/etc
    This is completely normal.

  • I have an ipod 3 and i cant update it more then 4.1 why?

    i have an ipod 2g and i cant update it more then 4.1 why?

    To go to iOS 4.2.1 you need iTunes 10 or later on the computer. If a Mac that requires OSX 10,5,8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    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.

    I have a Ipod touch and am un sure how to connect to wi fi it is asking me to connect to other but I dont know any so what do I put in there
    cheers

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have an Ipod Touch (model MC011LL).  Is it capable of streaming video to my TV through Apple TV?

    Ipod touch model MC011LL - Apple TV.  Will I be able to stream video from my Ipod Touch to my TV through Apple TV?  The source of the video is a Slingbox.

    You'd need to check the Slingbox app write up.
    Your iPod Touch can perfor Airplay streaming of pre-rendered compatible video but cannot perform Airplay mirroring of the Touch's screen (5th gen needed).

  • I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

    I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    What 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?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • I have a ipod touch 1 i cant download anything

    i cant download anything on my ipod 1 all i can do is watch videos i also cant hear only with head phones

    For sound problem:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • I have a ipod touch that wont update

    I have an Ipod Touch that will not update from 4.2.1? When i go to update it says that its the most current update. what do I do?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
