How can I update my Apple IPod 4.2.1to the 7.2 version...

My IPod 4.2.1 version works good but would like to update to a newer version.  Can I update it online or do I have to purchase a new IPod to get the newer version.  Thanks Bonziep

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.
A 3G goes to 5.1.1
A 4G to 6.1.5

  • How do i update my apple iPod to iOS 6.0

    how do i update my apple ipod to ios 6.0?

    If Software Update on your iPod is telling you that iOS is up to date, then you probably have a 3rd-generation iPod touch for which iOS 5.1.1 is the last version it can run. You can confirm your model of iPod here:

    You posted in the iPad forum, by the way.

  • HT1338 if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

    You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
    PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
    PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
    Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
    Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

  • TS1363 How can i update my old ipod and add my new one.

    I have had an older ipod nano and i just recently got a new one. How can i add my new ipod nano to my current itunes account or do i have to have a whole new one? If i do have to have a new account how can i get my songs that i have already purchased to the new nano? I am so confused.

    Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

  • How can I update my ATI HD 6750M driver to the latest version in Bootcamp?

    When downloading from ATI, it tells me that I do not have that card installed (I do). The latest (working) update from Apple was in January 2011, but many modern games require the driver to be of a newer make than that one. I have tried to completely uninstall the current driver, even manually removing references in the registry, before installing again, but no luck.

    Do a search in this group. I remember someone else with an ATI card having a problem getting the right ATI Boot Camp video driver. Eventually they did.

  • How can i update my ibookg4 10.4.11 to a newwer safer version of firefox?

    my systeme is too old for firefox 4.0...I have now firefox 3.0.4
    is there a better version for my Ibookg4 ?

    Unfortunately, Firefox 4 and 5 support only Mac OS X 10.5 and above on Intel hardware. The system that you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox (details can be found [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html here]).
    <BR><BR>Since Firefox 3.6 is still being maintained and supported by Mozilla, you can upgrade to it by following these steps:
    # Open the '''Applications''' folder.
    # Drag the Firefox application to the '''Trash'''.
    # Download and install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html here].
    Note that, in future, if Mozilla stops maintaining or supporting Firefox 3.6, you have the option of using another Firefox-like browser on your current system ([http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ TenFourFox]). Keep in mind that TenFourFox is not developed or endorsed by Mozilla in any way.

  • How can I use documents created in Pages 08 with the most current version of pages?

    I just upgraded to the most current version of Pages from Pages 08.  However, none of my files created with Pages 08 will open.  I am told that I first need to save them with Pages 09, but I don't have Pages 09.  What can I do to convert these files into a format that works with the newest Pages?

    I have the same problem. There are a couple of clumsy workarounds. One is to open your file with Pages 08 and export it as a Word document, then import it into Pages 5. The second one is to open the file in Pages 08, copy the contents to the clipboard and paste it into Pages 5.

  • How can I update an iPad to IOS 7 when the .ipsw is already in the software updates folder?

    I have already upgraded one iPad to IOS7 from iTunes. The .ipsw file is still in my ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates folder. Why, when I attempt to upgrade a second iPad, does iTunes want to start downloading it yet again? It's already there. Brain damage in iTunes? I have to limit my download activity due to my ISP (can't get another one yet).
    Thanks!

    Please ignore this discussion. Problem resolved.

  • How can I resend an Apple Store gift card? The email was accidentally deleted.

    I was sent an Apple Store (NOT an iTunes) gift card over email, but I must have accidentally deleted it. I know you can resend iTunes gift cards, is there anyway to resend a gift card for the Apple Store?

    I know that I can do that. I don't feel like spending any of my money or going and buying another card. I also doubt that im ever going to need more than 50 bucks on itunes. Im asking for a solution that doesnt require much effort, nor money, nor time. Also most stores sell iTunes gift cards, not just apple stores. And I do have a credit card... but thats beside the point.
