    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 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. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?

    You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress.  Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data.  To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing. 
    Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.

  • My ipod touch 3g got V4.2.1 and I want IOS 5 but it said that my ipod has the lates version. How I update my ipod to IOS 5?

    My ipod touch 3G got V4.2.1 and I want IOS 5 but it said that my ipod has the lates version. How I Update To Ipod IOS 5?

    According to the requirements it appears you may be able to run it if you don't have the 8GB version.
    The 8GB version was actually a snazzed up second gen with newer iOS software.
    If it doesn't see it, the hardware probably doesn't support it.
    First make sure you've updated iTunes, then check it again, and if it doesn't show, it probably won't run on it due to the hardware being too slow to handle it.

  • HT4623 i cant figure out how to update my ipod

    i cant figure out how to update my ipod touch from 4.2.7 to ios 7

    Connect your iPod to your computer and update via iTunes.
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    If you iPOd has cameras it is a 4G and will go to 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    Otherwise y have a 3G iPod. Those can go to 5.1.1 and you need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.
    If problem what exactly happens when you try?

    How can update my ipod to install viber

    If I understand you correctly, you want to install the Viber app to your iPod Touch correct? Why not just downloaded it directly from the App Store app on your iPod Touch over Wi-Fi?
    Note that it requires iOS 4.3 or later. So if you have a 1G or 2G iPod Touch, you won't be able to install the app onto the device as the 1G can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3 and the 2G iPod Touch to iOS 4.2.1.

  • I can't update my 3rd generation ipad to ios 8

    I want to update my 3rd generation iPad to iOS 8 through the OTA update. I have enough space as it requires 5.8GB and I have almost 10 GB. I clicked on download and install. It did download the iOS update file and then it says, "Preparing Update." In that part, it is very slow and suddenly it freezes then reboots my device to apple logo. When it goes back, it still says, "Preparing Update" and then it will freeze again and reboot. I don't know what to do. I want to have iOS 8 so bad. I have enough space and I don't run apps on the background. I have this problem over a day now. I even tried deleting the iOS 8 file and re-download it but same thing happens. Any suggestion or advice? Thanks in advance.

  • So i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button. it turned white and i tried charging it when it died but it went back to usual please help!

    so i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button at the same time for it to restart. It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work. Please respond ASAP! thank you! i could really use your help right now!

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.
