How do I get iOS 5 or 6 on my iPod touch so I can get iBooks, How do I get iOS 5 or 6 on my iPod touch so I can get iBooks

Someone please help I have no idea about iOS or how it works I just know I've tryed everything and I don't know how to download it

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
The original iPhone and first generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 3.1.3.
The iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 4.2.1.

If your iPhone can't be updated to a higher iOS version then the only way to get them is if you downloaded versions of them which were compatible with iOS 4.2.1 and you still have copies of those versions somewhere e.g. on your computer or on a backup - only the current version of each app is available in the store, and as apps (and other content) are tied to the account that downloads them, you will need to have older copies that are linked to your id

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Same technique may work for the iBooks app.

Backup with iTunes. If iTunes is asking you if you want to backup, say yes to that and it will backup your iPad. Have you ever synced with this computer before?
My boilerplate response for anyone that wants to update the iOS.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

Getting PDF into iBooks from Mail with IOS 7?

OK, on my iPad 3......pre IOS 7, someone coud emal me a PDF and I would click it in Mail and it would give me the "OPTION" to view or open in iBooks. Because I wanted it in iBooks, I would click that and all was good.
NOW with IOS 7.....I get this "Preview" of the PDF.....when I click it, I get "Save Image" or "Copy".
If I click Save Image, it puts something in my Camera Roll that I cannot even see? If I hit Copy, I guess it's on the Clipboard...but I still cannot get it into iBooks.
HOW DO I GET A PDF that was emailed to me from Mail to iBooks using IOS 7????
Thanks for your help.
Yours,
Kirk

lizdance40:
OK...here is what it is.......
I open a WORD Document on my Mac using MS Word 2008 for Mac Version 12.3.6 (130206) Latest Installed Update: 12.3.6.
I then click SAVE AS: and I choose PDF.
I then email that PDF to myself via standard Mac Mail...and recieve it in my iPad via standard Mail.
It shows up as a photo....I click on it in MAIL on my iPad and I only have the OPTION to "Save Image"...and that puts it in the Camera Roll...but not as a PDF or....COPY....and I can't do anything with that.
NEXT....I tried it this way.
I open the document in MS WORD....click PRINT...then PDF from my MAC....and save it as a PDF.....do that same thing above...and I get the same results.
So...it is NOT a photo...it is a MS WORD Document.....I have tried this not only on my iPAD but also on an iPHONE 5 running IOS7 and get the same results.
HOW DO I FIX THIS?????
AS INFO.........
If I SAVE the PDF to something like Dropbox....then got to Dropbox on my iPad or phone...then click it I have the option to put it in iBooks...and it works perfectly.......
So...the "ISSUE" to me is not with the PDF....as it does work when saved that way...the issue is with IOS7 and how it views a PDF in Mail.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

HT4059 My IOS is 4.1, iphone 4. Where can I get ibooks-1? In itunes only ibooks 3 is available which requires ios6+.

My IOS is 4.1, iphone 4. Where can I get ibooks-1? Even ibooks 2 is also unavailable.
It they are now out of support, then is there any other application that I can use for pdf books reading? I only want to download books from itunes or my collection and to read them over my iphone.
In itunes only ibooks 3 is available which requires ios6+.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
Muhaimin

Only the current version of each app is available for download from the store, so for iBooks there is only the version that requires iOS 5+
There are other apps in the store which support PDFs, though I don't how many work on iOS 4.1 - 'PDF Manager Free' appears to be one, and the Stanza app also says that it supports PDFs

How to get ios 5 on an ibook g4 os x 10.7.4 using simple instructions ? not computer savvy?

how do i get ios 5 on my ibook g4 os x 10.7.4? Please use simple instructions i am not computer savvy

Hello,
You need to obtain a black disk with Mac OS X 10.5 Leapard written on it.
It should have a big X on the disk.
They can be obtained from eBay or Amazon. You may find some online stores selling it. It's not going to be cheap.
If you already have a copy, then great.
Here is some simple instructions to help you install it on your iBook
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1544
I would recommend installing more memory to your iBook at least to bring it to 1.5GB
That's an extra 1GB, even though the minimum requirment is 512MB, its going to be a liittle sluggish with just that memory.
Hope this helps

Hi everyone,

Check your iTunes > Preferences... (or in Windows iTunes: Edit > Preferences...) > General tab > is Books checked?

You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

I've been trying to get a book sample and a dialogue box comes up saying: To receive book samples, you need a device with the latest versions of iOS and ibooks installed and Automatic Download enabled. I have iBooks installed and automatic download enabled. I don't know if it's talking about a new version of iOS on my iphone or my laptop. You people sure like to make things difficult.

trevbeats,
I had the same problem. It turned out the issue for me was that I had Automatic downloads turned off on my devices!
see below how to turn it on.
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.

I want to get ibooks 3.1.3 for ios 6.1.6

i want to get ibooks 3.1.3 for ios 6.1.6

If 3.1.3 was the last version compatible with iOS 6 then maybe by:
If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
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.
Otherwise you would have had to previously downloaded it and have it on your computer.

HT4059 I have iPod Touch 4 w/ iOS 6.1.5 (10B400). according to the requirements on this page, above, I should be able to use iBooks. However I keep getting the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but your website will not allow me to do so. Why not?

... I should be able to use iBooks. However, I can't. When I try to download the app I get the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but then Apple's website won't let me download that either. So far, I have managed to download a book to iTunes on my PC, but I cannot get it to sync with my iPod, although I have synced music, a video and a few other apps. I cannot seem to find a solution to my problems with iBooks or iOS7. Please advise.
Yours truly,
Garth Reid
PS I also cannot get the app for Podcasts.

Having the same issue here. I unfortunately purchased a book on iTunes, then went to download iBooks, but can't due to their recent update/upgrade. My kids iTouchs are all 6.1.5 , So I'm guessing that if you did not have iBooks previously purchased that you are now S.O.L. if you want to read a book on your iPod??
I am rather frustrated that I spent money on a book that they can't read.
Is there another app that will let them read it?

How to get iBooks on Ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1

Ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1 but can't install new iBooks as it is supported from iOS from 5.0.
But my iPod can't be upgraded from iOS 4.2.1.
Please suggest how to proceed on this.

Unless you downloaded and still have an older compatible version of the iBooks app somewhere (e.g. on your computer or on a backup) then you won't be able to use the app - only the current version of each app is available in the store.

How to get the iOS 5.0 for update my iBooks

I have the update problem for my iPad of the iBook .it needs iOS 5.0 so I need help.

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and check for updates; it can only be updated straight to 5.1.1, 6.0.1, or 6.0.2 depending on which model it is.

I am suddenly unable since downloading iOS 6 to my iPad 2 to get to the entire backlist in the ibooks store. All I seem to be able to find is the most recent or featured books and not allt eh books int he store, as I could with the last iOS. How can I ret

How do I return to being able to access the entire ibooks backlist? Many thanks.

Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.
