How do I update the software on my ipod touch

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
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
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

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.

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.

After updating the software on my ipod touch to OS 6 it no longer works in my car

After updating the software on my ipod touch to OS 6.1.4 it no longer works in my car.

Try:
- Reset the car system
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem,then the iOS update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes.

When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software. Is there a bug in the iPod program?

If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

Why can't I update the software on my ipod touch?

I have iOS 2.2 on my iPod Touch first generation and I can't update it. It says that iTunes cannot connect to the software updater driver of the iPod.I've tried everything I could think of and before and bring it to the Apple store for service or repair is there any other options or possibilities somehow to update the software on the iPod doing it by myself without going to the Apple store?
P.S. It shows me: An unknown error has occured (-1)
Thank you

HT201210 I can't sync or update the software on my iPod Touch 5 gen

Every time I try to either sync or update the software on my new iPod Touch 5th Gen it won't work because it says there is not enough space on my computer to save a backup but the thing is that there is more than enough space. I never had this problem with my previous iPod Touch 3rd Gen. Please help.

I have about 10+gb on my hard drive but another problem I have is that whenever I drag anything into the trash it gets deleted automatically and can't be restored. I was thinking this might be affecting the space on my hard drive perhaps?

My computer is broken and I have a new one. I would like to update the software on my ipod touch but im afraid it will sync afterwards and i will loose all my data. Is this the only way?

I have an ipod touch 4g 64gb currently running 4.2.1. I would like to update it to the latest available software without syncing my ipod with itunes as I am using a new laptop that doesnt have my music, photos, videos etc on its itunes library. And so I do not want to loose all my data on my ipod.

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?

try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple

I cannot update the software on my iPod Touch 3.

I've tried clicking on the update button like a thousand times; but it tells me that version 4.2.1. is the latest one. What do I do?
Thanks!

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

Does anybody knows advantaes inupdating the software version of ipod touch

hi frnds,
Does anybody knows advantaes in updating the software version of ipod touch to 1.1.4?...is there any particular feature in that?..

It's got several bugfixes, but nothing major.
I wouldn't know of a reason why you shouldn't update, except you've jailbroken your iPod...
I'd say go ahead.
Hope this helps.

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.
