  • Updating software for iPod Touch Model MC086LL

    The current software on my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 and I would like to update it to the most recent software or to the 4.3 version at the very least. However, when I click check for software I receive a message indicateing that my software version is uptodate.   I know for a fact that it is not the current version. How can I get my iPod Touch to do a software update?  I have read and followed the instructions in the iPod manual and some instructions I have found on this site, but I still cannot get the software to update. Some of my apps should be updated including the one I use the most to listen to my ebook. 
    Thank you in advance for all who answer my request for help.

    I have no reason to purchase a newer version iPod Touch, I just want to up date my software.  There should be a way to do this and I wish I could find out how.  A 3 year old device is just not considered old, in my option, and should be able to recieve updates.  (F.Y.I., my windows computer is over 7 years old and I can update it's software.  If Apple makes you purchase new devices in order to have newer software, then I don't see me buying any more Apple device which is sad as I just purchased an iPad and "love" my iPod Touch.)

  • How do you upgrade software on ipod touch i am trying to download games to it.

    How do i upgrade i pod touch so i can play games.

    My guess is that you have a first generation iPod Touch.  Yu can go as high as iOS 3.1.3 for that iPod.  That is a paid update and you can get it here:

  • Updating software with ipod touch

    Updated my ipod touch with lastest software and it went death-- it does not respond to any button-- any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS3694 How do I update my older Ipod touch from 2.2 to 4.2? When I try to update from Itunes I get a -1 error code

    Thanks for any help you can provid.e

    A -1 error code often indicates a hardware problem, but it can also indicate an inability of iTunes to connect to the update server due to being blocked by security software on your computer. For help with that possibility, see:
    Troubleshooting security software issues
    If that fails, try updating from another computer. If that still fails, your iPod may have a hardware failure.
    Note that if you have a first-generation iPod touch, it can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3, and that update is not free.

  • How to buythe 'January Software' for iPod Touch

    I've installed formware 1.1.3, I go to the iTunes store page for the recently released January Software package (£12.99 rip off!).
    But I only have two options. Either 'No Thanks' or 'Remind Me Later' - Where's the 'BUY NOW' button?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you both for your responses. You were right. I needed to upgrade iTunes. No idea why it didn't 'auto detect' that a new version was available. Thanks again
