  • How do I update the software on my 1st generation ipod touch?

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation. I am unable to upgrade the software so that I may use newer apps like Instagram. What can I do? I also have a new imac, and a first generation ipad. None of the calendars will synch! I must be missing something! So frustrated as I would like to be able to use all to full capacity and easiness among devices.

    A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:

    Note that currently ther are not that many apps that will work with the 1G iiPod.

    I am attempting to update the software on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I understand I need to erase and restore my device first.  Must I do this with it plugged into my pc? 

    All you have to do is connect the iPod to our computer and update via iTunes. You do not have to seperately erase and restore the iPod. That is done automatically as part of the update process.
    To update see:

  • So I update the software on my 4th generation iPod and it took about ten minutes. Now the iPod won't unlock or lock properly . And it won't turn on unless plugged in. What should I do?

    So I got a software update for iPod.. Thinking it would be knowing all it would do is update my iPod so it would work better i pressed accept. I guess I screwed it up because I was using FaceTime when impressed accepted it. A second later it shut off my iPod and began the update which took about ten minutes then it turned back on so I unlock it and immediately called back my friend on FaceTime. After spending two hrs on FaceTime I ended the call and immediately noticed my iPod was acting funny. It wouldn't lock when I pressed the button and it won't take a picture of the screen when I press those two buttons. And when I pressed those two buttons together to turn in off it went straight to voice control and I was like what. It won't turn back on unless plugged in. I don't know what is wrong with it. Enyone have an idea? Please help.
    I just got this bcuz my second was beginning not to work this is a used 4th generation but I don't think it was used that long.
    Please any information would help.. Thank you

  • How do I resolve the issue of a 2nd generation iPod touch not being shown on iTunes 11.4?

    2nd generation iPod not being shown on iTunes 11.4
    How do I resolve this issue? I have tried reinstalling after uninstalling it, nothing has worked for me any advice?

    Well, go ahead and try every port, make sure to clean out the port with a q-tip, to make sure no dust is blocking the ports.
    Then enter DFU, if iTunes doesnt recoginze it when your in DFU, that means you charging input is damadged.
    Hope this help

  • HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

    How do I update the software?

    Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

    Someone please help I have no idea about iOS or how it works I just know I've tryed everything and I don't know how to download it

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The original iPhone and first generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 3.1.3.
    The iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch can’t be updated past 4.2.1.

  • 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.

    I hope this helps.....

    How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.

    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.
