    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.

    I suspect 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

    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.

  • How to update new iPod to iOS 5.1 then restore from previous iPod's backup

    If I want to restore my 'new' (refurbished) iPod from a back up of my old one, I need to get iOS5.1 on this one.
    I can't restore it right now because I don't have the computer it's synced with, and I was planning on getting iOS 5.1.1 on my old one before it broke.
    This is what I think I should do (when I have the right computer):
    Update software to iOS 5.1
    Restore from backup.
    Update software to iOS 5.1.1
    right?
    The only thing is, I will have to set up my new iPod 'as new iPod' to update the software because the option isnt there until your iPod is set up in iTunes (keep in mind, I'm not using the computer with the iTunes I will be syncing it with for the rest of its life). Will this change anything?
    And should I wait to do all this until I'm on the computer with the normal iTunes I'll be using, or does it not matter because I was planning on restoring it anyways?
    Pleaaasee hellppp!

    I don't have my old iPod, just the refurbished one, but I backed up my previous one beforehand when it was connected to my computer.
    On my new one, I need to update it to iOS 5.1 to to be able to restore it from a backup of my old iPod because that's they system the old one was using, and I also want to update it to iOS 5.1.1, which I can't do right away or I still won't be able to restore it. I figured I would have to:
    1. Update Software of new iPod to iOS 5.1
    2. Restore new iPod from backup of old one.
    3. Update software to iOS 5.1.1
    Am I right?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

    So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

  • HT1483 How to update my ipod by computer

    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.
