How to update ipod touch 3rd gen 64GB (A1318) to iOS 7. iOS 6 or iOS 7 required to install apps like youtube and soundcloud.

Hello Apple,
I have an iPod touch 3rd gen 64GB (A1318) and I wish to install apps like youtube and soundcloud from the app store. But most of the apps require iOS 6 or 7 for them to be installed into the iPod touch. So, how can update my iPod touch to iOS6 or 7. As the lasted update available is only iOS 5.1.1
Kindly help me to get the apps installed into my iPod touch.
Thanks.

That iPod touch can't be updated past 5.1.1. If desired, click here and try following the instructions.

  • ITunes saying cannot read and write on iPod Touch 3rd gen 64Gb

    I just got an iPod Touch 64Gb and synched with my iTunes 9 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Getting error message after about 6Gb into the synch saying that it cannot access read or write to the memory of the iPod.
    Went already at the Apple Store to show and exchange the iPod... total surprise, my new iPod does the same. Do I have something wrong with my iTunes 9 (already reinstalled once)? My old IPod 80Gb with hard disk does all the synch without problem...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Found the issue: 2 corrupted music files in my iTunes library. iTunes does not say much about files it cannot read. Just stops the synchronization but not tracking of error further than that!! If it happens, keep working in finding out which piece of music is being copied when the error occurs then try to read it. I downloaded a new version from my TC and all is right now!!

  • How to update iPod touch 4th gen 4.2.1 iOS to iOS 6

    My iPod touch 4th generation still has iOS 4.3.1 and I want to update to iOS 6. The update selection is not in general settings

    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 maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.3.

  • How to update iPod touch 4 Gen to current IOS? It is 3 years old and won't update past IOS 4.2.1.

    I had to restore my iPod when I bought a new computer and it won't update the IOS. iTunes tells me it is up-to-date, but all the apps say I need IOS 5. How can I update this? Thanks

    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.
    Update to IOS 5 or higher

  • Can't update ipod touch(3rd gen) to IOS.

    After I click check for update it always sttates that the version of the ipod software(4.2.1) is the current version.
    Though I already have downloaded the latest itunes(10.5)...What can I do to update this. I am using windows..

    Also knew it after reading other questions.Wrong info about my ipods gen. Thanks anyway!

  • Since IOS 4.3.3 My Ipod Touch 4th Gen 64GB fully discharges on standby in less than 6hrs with no apps running. How can I fix it?

    I've followed all the suggestions for saving the battery life but the battery still discharges very quickly. The only way I can stop it discharging is by turning the ipod off, which sort of defeats the object!
    It's been suggested that I totally reset the ipod as new and then set it up again from scratch. Does anyone now how likely this is to help, as it will take rather a long time?

    Looks like good news!
    I finally bit the bullet and did a reset as new.
    It was a total pain as you can imagine, but it wasn't the end of the world to go through i-tunes reselecting the apps etc to sink (it was actually a pretty useful exercise because my ipod was full of apps I didn't really use!).
    Anyway, it's been off the charger now for nearly five hours and I've been using it for bits and pieces like, the calculator, internet search over wifi, map viewing etc. and the battery is showing 97%!!! All setting are as per the default start up. I haven't changed brightness or anything like that.
    Interestingly, now when it goes into standby, the router shows that the wifi link has dropped. When I then wake it again the link restarts after a few miliseconds. This didn't used to happen before.
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will see how it goes over the weekend and report back on Monday!

  • How do I make a folder in iOS4 for Ipod Touch 3rd Gen 32gb?

    How do I create a folder to place apps in? I just upgraded my Ipod Touch 3rd gen, 32gb to iOS4 and I don't know how or where I go to create a folder.
    The update also said I could have a home screen wallpaper. (Does this mean behind the apps?) If it does, how do I set it?

    Folders: press and hold an app icon until they start to wiggle. Then drag the icon onto another icon and a folder will be created.
    For Wallpapers: Go to settings>general>wallpaper>choose picture>then you can set as lockscreen, homescreen(yes behind apps), or both.

  • My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

    - 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 if you can
    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.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT201263 Ipod touch 3rd gen updating

    have  an ipod touch 3rd gen. it has ios 4.2 how and where can I get an update I can't find one in itunes and auto update say 4.2 is the latest

    No, I do not have a 2nd generation it is apsolutely a 3rd.
    Prove it.
    Time and time again, this forum sees posts from people who insist that their iPod is 3rd generation, when it is not, and they continue to argue their case after being told this horrible fact by many of the very experienced contributors to this forum.
    See this page; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model.
    I'll give you a heads up. This screenshot is part of that page;
    Note very carefully, the 3rd generation on that list. If you have an 8GB (or 16GB) iPod - it is not - I repeat, it is not - 3rd gen. If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, then that is a 2nd gen Touch.
    Now - frankly, you don't need to prove anything to me. You can continue to argue with me if you like, but if iTunes is telling you that your iPod is up to date, then your claim appears unlikely. Furthermore, iTunes won't let you install any iOS higher than iOS 4.2.1.
    This post was submitted before seeing tamarareyna's latest reply, confirming that it is a 2nd gen Touch.
    If it makes you feel any better, I too have 2nd generation Touch.

  • HT4972 ipod touch 3rd gen update issues

    I have an ipod touch 3rd gen and i can not get it to update. when i try it goes through the motions of downloading the update and then after a little while it says error that it can not be updated... any thoughts on what to do?

    Which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod? I know the sign off for your discussion says iOS 4.3.3, but I don't know if you entered that information or it was automatically generated.
    What capacity is your iPod - how many GB?

  • Will Apple cover me if updating to iOS5 on ipod Touch 3rd gen ruins/bricks it?

    I have heard stories of some people's apple products not working/bricked after attempting to upgrade to iOS5.
    I have a 1.5 year old ipod Touch 3rd gen. No warranty on it from Apple (tho I do have one from Square Trade for ADH, but I called them and they said if it is a software issue, they don't cover it.)
    I am very concerned about d/ling the ios5 upgrade and it ruining my ipod touch.  In effect, I will take a device that could fetch almost $200 on ebay (which I could then use to upgrade to a Touch 5gen), and turn it into a worthless piece of junk if I upgrade and it ruins it.
    Also, I know that they have released 5.0.1 (beta I believe?) for update.   I still read stories on here from people waiting until now (Nov, a month after it was first released when so many people tried to d/l it and had terrible problems), but now are still getting network timed out error msgs, etc.
    So is there ANY protection from Apple if their update should screw my ipod touch??
    Should I just wait longer for a final, stable version  of ios 5? (like v5.1)  Or just totally skip the iOS 5 upgrade and stay safe with iOS 4?  I don't know that it is really worth the $200 loss risk to upgrade to iOS5.  (i.e. 3rd gen doesn't have the ability to find and lock/wipe my lost touch, etc.)
    I do know that I should:
    1) install itunes 10.5 anew on my laptop  (itunes and syncing WAS done on my tower, until I just got it back from being serviced for some Major problems/virues/malware/etc.  I'm not comfortable using it, as the problems on it included not being able to start Local Services, connect to the internet, no audio services, etc.  The guy says it is booting up and services are working now, but you never know....But i digress...)
    2) be on AC and not battery on my laptop
    3) be hardwired (ethernet) to the internet and not use my wireless connection
    4) turn off Windows 7 Firewall, and disable my PC Tools Spyware Docter with Antivirus.
    So, what do you all think? should I wait until later to upgrade to say os 5.1?  Should I even RISK upgrading to iOS5 on a touch 3gen and lose almost $200 cash?  And will Apple give me ANY protection should it ruin my touch?  (I seriously doubt it.)
    Thanks for input.

    Before proceeding with the update, it wouldn't hurt to manually back up the iPod in iTunes by right->clicking on it from under the Devices section and choosing Backup.    See this article for more information on what is stored in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Also make sure that any content you may have synced to the device from iTunes, such as Music, movies, TV Shows, podcasts, etc. are all stored on your computer and in iTunes before updating the iPod's version of iOS.
    Otherwise, I would go ahead with the upgrade.  I didn't have any issues with it on my iPhone.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.
