Make a cloned backup of your current system should you want to go back or if the upgrade isn't successful.
Upgrading to Yosemite
Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

An iPhone 4S can only be updated directly to iOS 8.1.2. You need to resolve the issue which prevents you from updating to it instead of attempting to install an intermediate version.

not sure how to update ipod touch from ios 2.2.1 to later version with bluetooth. Need help..

I think you have a 1G (original) iPod touch. These do not have BT.
The 1G can go to 3.1 that you get here.

How do is update from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6

I got an iPod touch 4th Gen about 5 years ago. A year and a half or so ago I stopted using it, then on ios 4.3.2. Yesterday I got back to using it, and wanted to update to ios 7. I have learne that you can't update it to ios 7, but to ios 6. I can't seem to find how to update it. I've checkedin settings, and have been unable to find where you can update it.

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.

How do I update from ios 6 to ios 7?

I have an iphone 5 running ios 6.0.1. I want to update to ios 7, but the software update is only giving me the option to update to ios 8.3
It's an old phone and I only want to be able to run ios 7 as most apps require 7. Is ios 7 available to download anywhere?
Thanks for any help!!!

If you see a message that an app requires a later version of iOS, it is referring to the MINIMUM iOS version required. For example, if it says it requires iOS 7.0, then it will work on iOS 7 or any version after it. Just update to iOS 8.3.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Now that iOS 6 is here, how do I update to iOS 5?

I have an iPod Touch 4G (model MC540FD).
iOS 6 is now available from iTunes, but for pedagogical purposes, I don't want to update my iPod to iOS 6 for the moment.
I just want to update from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5.
So, I manually downloaded the .ipsw file from apple servers with iOS 5.1.1 for iPod Touch 4G and tried to manually update my iPod: I get the message "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I tried also with the .ipsw for iOS 5.1, same problem happens.
- I'm absolutely sure that I have an iPod Touch 4G
- I'm absolutely sure that I have the right .ipsw for my iPod, named: iPod4,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw
- The iPod has never been unsimlocked or jailbroken
- I have never used software that modify the host config of my Mac like TinyUmbrella and so on
- I checked content of my /private/etc/hosts file and see no line refering to "gs.apple.com" that I could comment, as stated in various forum discussions about this problem (ex. http://docgadget.blogspot.ch/2012/05/how-to-fix-this-device-isnt-eligible.html)
- I tried to put the iPod in DFU mode: the problem remains the same, same error message.
- I tried with my own Mac (Macbook pro retina, 10.8.2, iTunes 10.7(21) and with an older MacBook white running Lion (10.7.4), iTunes 10.6.3(25): I have the same problem on both.
What can I do? I looked at a big number of discussions about that on the web without finding the solution, so if someone can help, it would be great!
I don't want to update automatically to iOS 6 as I need a machine with iOS 5 only!
Thank you for helping!
Gabriel

Really?
Wow, thank you Illaass!
That's a bad news for me... :-(
Sounds a bit strange to me that it's impossible to manually update to the version I would like to... but so!
Thanks again,
Gabriel
