Having issues updating itouch 3rd gen to ios 5

I have a 3rd gen model num a1213 that has updated ios 3 software and when checking for updates will not move to ios 4 or ios 5.  I am not sure why, but i have updated itunes, manually downloaded ios 5 and tried to manually install it to the itouch.  Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

You actually have a 1G iPod Touch, which can only be updated as high as iOS 3.1.3.  See here to help you verify the generation.

  • Trying to update ipad 3rd gen from ios 6.1.3 to 7.0.4

    Under General - Software Update it shows one update to ios 7.0.4 (from 6.1.3) but it says it can't verify the update because I'm not connected to the internet but my wifi connection is good.  I have Comcast wifi set up and can access the web.  Any ideas on how to proceed?  Thanks

    Check this first, settings>General>date & time>set automatically>on. Make sure the time zone setting is also correct.
    If you still can't update or get the message about not being connected to the internet, restart the iPad first and try again. If that fails, reset the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Bluetooth keyboard mapping issues with iPad (3rd gen) after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

    Others may have figured this out more readily than I did, but since I did not find a post on this topic, I decided I would provide this information.
    After upgrading my iPad "3" to iOS 6.1.2, my bluetooth keyboard mapping was a bit off.  Hitting most keys provided the desired result but not all.
    Typing \ would result in ] for example.  Typing shift + 2 would result in " rather than the expected (and marked) @. 
    To fix this I tried turning Bluetooth off and on, etc.  No joy.
    FinaIly, I went into "Settings," selected "Bluetooth," selected "Apple Wireless Keyboard," clicked on "Forget this Device."  
    I then powered off the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard.  Next, I powered on the iPad and keyboard and went back into "Settings" where I paired the keyboard with the iPad again.  Everything then worked as desired. 
    It's possible, that you may not need to go to the trouble of powering off and on the iPad and the keyboard.  Simply "forgetting" the device and then pairing the keyboard with the iPad again may suffice.  

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

    Does it charge?
    - 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.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7.  When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down.  What can I do?  I am using a Windows 7 machine.

    Hi thanks for the encouragement.  It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
    I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
    down.  Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
    them.  Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

  • I am having issue updating Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.

    I really am having issues updateing. The updates are iPhoto, Macbook Pro firmware, and Thunderbolt update. When ever i download and install them and then restart they just appear again that i need to redownload them

    Exactly as John Galt stated there is no support for Mountain Lion, being pre-release software. I personally run Mountain Lion on a virtual machine through VMware Fusion 4.

  • Having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7

    having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7
    No matter what driver I have tried thus far
    it does not install or update the drivers
    Battlefield 3 nags you about having 11.1 and needing to update.
    However this game proceeds to load using these drivers (11.1 )
    I recently bought NFS THE RUN.
    Unlike BF3 the game does not proceed therefore inorder to play this game i would need 11.7 or higher.
    can someone please provide the driver that actualy installs and works.
    My specs are MBP 15 inch
    1 gig GPU ( AMD Radeon 6750m)
    8 gigs on Ram
    2.2 CPU i7

    Take a look around my bookmarks
    you are updating AMD, not Boot Camp drivers.
    you need to uninstall first.
    probably need to update via Device Manager not via Install from AMD
    The 99% leaving out import 1% support to make Windows on Mac work 100% seamless
