How to update my Ipodtouch 4gen from Ios 4.2.1 to 6.1?
Will updating my Ipod Touch 4th Generation from software 4.2.1 to 6.1 (the latest software) be a wise choice?
As my Ipod currently has version 4.2.1, this update would be jumping many software updates such as ios 5.
- The first step of an update is iTunes making a backup of the iPod. Note that the backup does not include synced media like apps and music. The backup does included photos/videos taken by and saved to the iPod. Those are the ones in the iPod's camera roll album
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
- For non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Hi Team,
I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1. While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected. Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.
and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

Resolve communication issues
Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers. -
I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
You'll need to go elsewhere for support. -

Hi, I updated my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1 to 5.1.1 and now it won't connect to 3g, it only gets EDGE, does anyone have the same issue? Anyone knows how to fix it? Thanks
Yeah, it´s happening in normal 3g coverage area, in fact, i used the 3g to download the iOS but after installing it, the phone doesn't get the 3g anymore.
I tryed the reboot pocess, but it didn't fix it
I haven't tryed the restore to factory settings process,
Is there a way to downgrade to iOS 5.1 again?

Just updated my iPhone 5s from ios 8.1 to 8.3. After the install it asked for Apple ID and password and to allow it to sync to Mac and iTunes. After following the steps my phone kept restarting - turning on and off and goes blank. How do I fix this??
I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this.
The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open. Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out. Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore. -

I just updated an iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 7.1 and my computer/iTunes no longer recognizes the device; what gives? How do I get iTunes to show the device?
With iOS 7, the "call Decline" button is only available when the phone is awake. To decline a call when the phone is asleep, simply tap the On/Off button.

TS3694 iTunes error (-5000) during update of my iPad from iOS 4.3 to iOS 6.0.1
During update of my iPad from iOS 4.3 to the latest version of iOS 6.0.1, iTunes gives an error (-5000) while backing up the iPad and asks "Would you like to continue? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad."
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions for next step?You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

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 anitvirus 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 6.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.
