How do I update original ipod software so i can download apps

I have a 2007 ipod touch (1st generation), with software version 1.1.5. When I sync my ipod to my mac and click update software it does not go past 1.1.5. I would like to be able to install apps on this ipod and I am thinking I need to update to do that. What do I need to do?
Thanks

  • How do you update the iPod software?

    I downloaded the update. My iPod has ver. 2.2 and the update has 2.3. I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod. Not the click wheel, but has the docking station. Press what I have to press and nothing updates. Any help would be appreciated.

    You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    After rebooting, run the Updater.
    Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    -- Choose the Update option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version.
    -- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version
    b and
    format your iPod's hard drive.

  • Trying to update my ipod software so I can use my Bose Sounddock remote

    Hi,
    I have a 30 GB 5th Gen ipod that is running Version 1.2, apparently I need version 2.2 to use my Bose Sounddock remote. After searching the Apple website to find a way to download version 2.2, Apple kept bringing me back to the latest itunes 7 download which is supposed to alert you to any ipod updates. So I have downloaded itunes 7 which tells me my ipod is updated with version 1.2. How can I get 2.2 on my ipod?
    I notice other people are having similar problems with no solutions, thought I would give it another try, any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Jessica

    Version 2.2 of the software is designed for a different model of iPod, most likely the third generation models, and is older than your model of iPod. The current version of the iPod software for your model is version 1.21; if the remote doesn't work with this version, you probably can't use it with your iPod.
    The version numbers are determined relative to the release of the original iPod for first through fourth generation full-size models, and relative to the release of the first iPod with that product name for other iPods, including the iPod photos.

  • My laptop wont let me download iMessage onto my laptop, it think its because my software is not up to date.. how do i update my laptop? so i can download it?

    i want to be able to use iMessage on my laptop... but i can't dowload it. Do i have to but the latest software at the Apple store to get iMessage?

    I suggest you go to your Black Apple and select Software Update. This will allow you to download the latest version of software available to your Mac.  I also recommend that you keep your Software UP TO DATE. Many users are not even aware that this is how you up date your software.  Doing this will keep your computer running smooth and your software Up To Date. This is also recommended by Apple.

  • How do i update to ipod software version 1.2.2

    i am using windows xpsp2 with itunes 7.5 and an 80 gb 5.5 generation ipod.
    When I synced my ipod today, i got a message saying that a new version is availible (version 1.2.2). I clicked ok, it synced but did not update to the new version. Now when I click on check for update, it tell me that 1.2.1 is the current version.

    ITunes (Version 7.5, WinXP) is also telling me that my 5.5g Ipod is running the latest version (1.2.1). Any help anyone?

  • How do i enable my Apple ID so i can download apps again?

    My itunes account was hacked about a month ago and apple disabled my Apple ID. I have dont everything i was told to enable it and it still won't let me download or upgrade any apps because my Apple ID is still disabled. Does anyone have a idea on how i might be able to get it back on?

    You must contact iTunes Store Support by phone.  And your Apple ID is not disabled if you report un-authorized purchases, just your iTUnes Store account.  Therefore your photostream and other services such as iCloud is not affected.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

  • HT4623 I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    I do not have a software update option under my general settings.  How do I update to ios 4.0 to get free apps???

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?
