You have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

    How do I update IOS for my iPad2 wirenessly ?

    It isn't possible to update from an iOS version prior to 5.0 wirelessly; it must be done from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one the device normally syncs with.

  • How can I update iOS without losing my media?

    Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
    I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Wait till IOS 7 has been officially released in fall - now it is only available for developers.

  • How does one update iOS and what is iOS.. Thank you..

    how do you update iOS. And what is that anyway.   I had to update FaceTime in order to use it and now I cannot send any pictures from ipad camera. Thanks for any help..

    "iOS" is the operating system on handheld Apple devices.
    You can either update your device wirelessly from Settings > General > Software update or by connecting to a computer using iTunes.  Make a backup to iCloud or iTunes before you do any update, so you can restore it, if something should go  wrong. Also, make sure it is connected to a power source, if you update wirelessly.
    Details are explained in this document:

  • How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?

    There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
    Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of.
