How come i cant upgrade my itouch 3 8gb to ios5?

when press update it says it is the current version 4.2.1..

Sorry, there is no 3rd generation 8gB version of the iPod Touch. You most likely have a 2nd generation. In which case 4.2.1 is the highest possible OS.

    how to get a subscribe button. Is there anyone i can call to talk to about this?

    Confirming and expanding on what RG said, not only is iTunes is not available for Android devices, it cannot sync to an Android device if you have iTunes running on a Windows or Mac system. You'll need to use the download stores provided for Android devices, and if you have music downloaded from the ITunes Store on a computer, whatever synchronization method Samsung provides for getting the music to your Galaxy.

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • TS3672 How come i cant see any of my messages nor send any from my iphone 4?

    How come i cant see any of my messages nor send any from my iphone 4?

    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

    how come i cant get my iphone to have "game center"?

    Game Centre is not compatible with the iPhone 3G (compatible devices are listed here http://www.apple.com/game-center/) - I'm not sure whether a reason why was ever given (maybe it wasn't deemed 'powerful' enough).

  • How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5

    how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?

    Thanks for the feedback.  This is a custom enterprise application.   So there is not an update yet.   It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable.  So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.

  • How come i cant send email unless i'm near my home wi fi?

    How come I can only send email when I am near my wi-fi at home?  Doesn't the IPhone 4 have the ability to send email without being near wi-fi?

    If your iPhone service is through ATT try the following:
    1.  go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    2.  tap the line for your WOW mail account.
    3.  scroll down to Outgoing Mail Server section and tap the line for SMTP
    4.  under Other SMTP Servers you should have an entry for "AT&T SMTP Server", if the server is off, tap the line for that server, tap "OFF" to turn the server on
    5.  tap Done
    6.  tap the line for the primary server
    7.  tap "ON" to turn the server off
    8.  tap Done
    9.  tap the name of your email account in the upper left corner
    10.  tap Done
    What we are trying to accomplish is to set the primary SMTP server for this account off and turning on the ATT SMTP server.
    If this doesn't work or you have Verizon, we'll try something else.

  • How come i cant autopopulate my email addresses, i need to type in all over again

    I use Network solutions and they upgraded my email system and I can get the addresses in my contact sheet if I add them but now when I type in an email address and I retype another email it won't autopopulate. It drives me crazy to retype a long email address again. How do I get the browser to remember what email addresses I type in so I don't have to redo them.
