How do I update ipod 4th gen to ios 7 to use aple tv?

Received an aple tv device for christmas.  It says it can be used with ipod 4th gen or laterf but I can't update the ios on the ipod to ios7.  Please help!

Apple TV only works with bluetooth keyboards, the pairing with IOS is only for setup purposes and requires 5th gen iPod Touch anyway.
You can use basic airplay to stream content through apps (if the developer has enabled it)

  • Updated Ipod 4th gen to iOS 6.1.3

    I updated my Ipod 4th gen to iOS 6.1.3 but after the installing the new iOs my ipod stopped working. Now, it's just showing/blinking the apple logo. Help! What happened?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • Updated Ipod 4th Gen to IOS 6 but now Itunes tells me to restore Ipod and that data could be lost should i restore, it will not let me do anything until i restore

    I have an Ipod 4th Generation just now updated to IOS 6 thru Itunes, says update complete but now it tells me to restore the Ipod and data would be lost. I can not do anything till I restore Ipod and I am worried about losing games, music and other apps. Do I restore Ipod and will I lose games and music?

    Do you have a current backup of the content of your iPod? If not restoring will remove Apps and their data. The Apps can be replaced at no charge but the data will be lost.
    What is the exact message that you are seeing?

During this process it came up with another error. Now, everytime I turn on my iPod, it asks me to connect to iTunes. When i do this, it connects to the computer but doesnt show up in iTunes.

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
    It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Trouble with updating iPod 4th gen.

    I tried updating my iPod touch 4th gen to the newest update, but it wouldn't load. Now my iPod is stuck on the loading screen with the Apple logo and is frozen. I tried restarting it, but it did not respond. I unplugged it from my computer, but now, when I plug it back in, the computer doesn't recognize it. What should I do to fix this problem?

    Put your iPod into DFU mode (instructions can be found here http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/ ) and iTunes should then be able to see it as a device.

  • Trouble reset/reformat/update ipod 4th gen

    I have the sad face icon appear on my 4th gen 20gb ipod, so i throw it into disk mode and when i connect it to my laptop, the comp recognizes it for a second but then it tries to reset again and the same sad face comes up again. Ive had success with fixing the folder ! icon but have failed in this one.

    OK try this
    1) with the ipod DISCONNECTED, put it in "Disk Mode"
    2) Open task manager (alt,ctrl and del keys), goto the "Process" tab, find "ipodservice.exe" highlight it and hit "End Process"
    3) connect the ipod to the PC, goto "My COmputer" rightclick the ipod and hit format, UNCHECK "Quick format" and hit start.
    4) When its done, safly disconnect the ipod from the PC and restart the PC so the "ipodservice.exe" is started back up
    5) Open the ipod updater located in start>all programs>ipod
    6) with the ipod still in "Disk mode" connect it to the PC and hit "Restore" on the ipod updater

  • My ipod 4th gen can't be used because it needs 10.5, but I have itunes 10.7

    I had downloaded itunes 11. I was sick and tired of it not syncing my songs, so I uninstalled it and downloaded 10.7. After a while, it finished installing, and everything seemed to go back to normal. However, when I plugged in my 4th gen iPod, it said it can't be used because it requires cersion 10.5 and higher. But I downloaded 10.7. I'm have Windows 7! HELP!

    how did you remove iTunes? Did you uninstall only iTunes or all components? This is necessary.

    Use that article and try it again.
    By the way, when you have an issue, the first thing to check is whether your software is up-to-date.

  • Can't update iPod 5th gen to iOS 7.0.4

    y son received an iPod 5th gen for Christmas but it hasn't been updated so it is using the 6.1.3 version. My MacBook and the iPod itself won't update, any ideas on how to fix this please?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • How do I locate my lost ipod 4th gen. if I tried using find my iphone app and it says its offline?? How do i find it??

    Plz help

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown/or shown as oof-line, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
