How to i update my ios for my ipod touch to 5.0.1

I have another ipod touch and ipad with version 5.0.1 and I want to update my other ipod touch to the same version, so we can share all of our apps. However, I am forced to try to update to version 6.0.1 -
I cannot update to this version. I have tried countless times via hooking up the ipod to the computer and it says it will take 3 hours. Hours later, no error message and the update is not completed. I thought maybe I would try updating to vers 5.0.1 - but cannot find where I am able to do this.

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. There is a link to download 5.0.1.

HT4972 how do you update the ios on the ipod touch 2nd generation

Can someone show me how 2 update my ios

If it's running an iOS version prior to 4.2.1, it needs to be updated from iTunes on a computer. If it's running iOS 4.2.1, it can't be updated further.

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ? Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
Otherwise try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

TS1424 I updated latest ios on my ipod touch. Now when I go to the itunes store and browse for possible purchases it seems to shut off after only a short time for no reason. Help?

I updated the ios on my ipod touch. Now when I browse the itunes store on my ipod, it only allows a very brief visit before automatically closing me out. I have to go back into the store and begin searches etc all over again. Is this a setting or a problem that is randomly occuring? I use to look for hours. Any thoughts?

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.

You must be running iOS 5 or later for WiFi updating. You must use iTunes. You must have an iPod Touch model that supports at least iOS 5. That means a 3G Touch. See Identifying iPod models.
