How come my iPod Touch will not let me get the latest software update and will only let me have the 3.1 update?

My iPod will only let me get the 3.1 update and I don't know how to get a later update.

What happens when you try?
Error message?
Do you have the original ipod touch?  If so, then  3.1 is the latest software.

  • My imac will not boot- it gets stuck on blue screen and will not go any further

    Since the last update to Snow Leopard- My computer seems to perform fine, but when I restart the computer or shut it down and then turn it back on- it gets hung. SOmetimes I get the You need to restart screen. But, most times, it goes to the blue screen. The mouse shows up and the dissappears. It shows back up and the dissappears again. Then the system working spiral comes on and off every few seconds. But- it never gets to the sign in screen. ANyone know how to fix? What am I doing wrong?

    Does your iMac fail to boot every time or only some of the time?  Here are some things to try:
    - Boot into "safe mode", which will run the equivalent of Disk Utility's "repair disk" operation.
    - Boot from the system install disc that came with that Mac with the "D" key held down to run the diagnostics.  Run them several times to see if any hardware problems are reported.
    - If you can't identify the problem or fix it any other way, download and install the OS X 10.6.7 "combo" updater.
    - If that still doesn't help, try reinstalling OS X 10.6 over the top of what's on the disk.

  • How come my iPod touch AND my iPhone will no longer sync with my iTunes?

    for some reason the past few days ive been trying to back up my iPod touch and my iPhone 4s on itunes and its not discovering it. ive done all the steps on the support page. ive reinstalled itunes, ive shut the computer off and rebooted. rebooted my phone and the ipod and still nothing. ive tried multiple usb ports that are on my laptop. ive went into computer management and its still not seeing anything. i know the cord is fine because its less than a week old and when i plug it in, the devices are charging. someone please help!

    Did you do eveyrthing in the following:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Including removing and reinstalling all the Apple software by:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    The above include a link for XP
    Do you have another cable to try?  The charging and data use different conductors/contacts so it may still charge with a bad cable.

  • HT201210 how come my ipod touch doesnt have auto update?

    how come my ipod touch doesnt give mr auto updates for the ios?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    My ipod touch does not show up in my itunes source list, and shows up as a digital camera in "My Computer". Any ideas?

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

  • Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

    why is itunes downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

    Does the iPod work fine now?
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Last, try restoring on another computer.
    You are really not describing your problem well.

  • I have downloaded the latest software but it has set my phone to the incorrect time, 8 hours earlier than it is so alarm didn't go off this morning as I hadn't noticed! Won't let me change time. Apps look like cartoons designed by a child. V unhappy

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud.  I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window.  Please help. My Brain hurts- 18   movies need to go-.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • I have updated to the newest software on my iphone 5 but still have the red notification circle on the settings app.  How do I get rid of it?

    I have updated to the newest software on my iphone 5 but still have the red notification circle on the settings app.  How do I get rid of it?  TIA for help.

    OK, a couple questions for you.  You say you have "the latest" iOS update installed on your iPhone, but you don't mention what version that is.  Would you please tell us what the version number is for your iPOS installation?  Also, you have the "banner" on your Settings App, but is the banner for in iOS update, or is it for something else?  Do you have a new provile, or an expiring profile, or possibly Notifications that may be triggering that?

  • Ipod touch is not starting up unless connected to a main power source, even when connected to the pc only apple logo appears, how can i fix this

    i pod  3 rd generation
    was left in the car for like 4 hrs, seems that the temperature was high
    ever since it stopped working unless connected to power source wall mounted
    when connected to PC it just shows the apple logo on the display
    itunes can not read the ipod of course
    is it something i can fix by myself and how

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
