How do i update my software on my ipod

how do i update the software on my ipod touch (2nd gen.) from 4.2.1 to the latest version

iOS 4.2.1 is the highest version of iOS that will work on a 2G iPod Touch.  You cannot upgrade any further.  Sorry.

    You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device.  To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch.  So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

  • How do i update the software on my ipod touch from version 3.1.3??

    w do i update my ipod touch??? would like newer software!

    If you have the original iPod Touch (iPod Touch 1), you can't.  iOS 3.13 is the end of the line for that model.  If you have a newer iPod, you can update using iTunes.

  • How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
    First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
    don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

    how do i update security software?

    Apologies I didn't word my question correctly...I meant how do I update exhisting security software on my mac. I have not purchased additional software. Thanks for your reply. Basically my concern is that I have unknowingly exposed my computer to a virus. I had a hoax skype call come through "ONLINE NOTIFICATION" and I answered it. It told me that my computer was not protected and there was a security threat- and to visit their website. Which I did in my initial moment of panic. Quickly realised that it was phony and that any notifications would not come through skype, duh. I am worried that I have now exposed my computer by visiting the website.
