HT1339 update ipod software from 3.1.3

how do you or can you update an older ipod touch software from a 3.1.3 to anything higher

If it's a first generation iPod touch, no. Otherwise, update it from iTunes on a computer.

  • Cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

    I cannot update ipod software from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  The message says, "The ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application."  It's an ipod nano 7th generation. My Mac OS X is version 10.6.8.  What should I do?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your anitvirus/antispyware software or in your AV software turn off iPod scanning.

  • Cannot update ipod software from 1.1 to 1.2 - support pages NO HELP AT ALL

    HELP ME PLEASE! Every time I try to reset, restore or update my ipod to install the 1.2 software for iPod I get error message: "ipod" cannot be updated because it contains files that are in use by another application.
    So how do I get rid of these files, how do I override this? it will not let me perform an update, a restore or a reset. I backed up everything so I could clear it but the directions state press hold button on then turn off- how the **** do you turn it off if its on hold? ARRRGH!
    Anyway- nothing i do works

    I don't know why update fails but I give you my expiriences with the new iPod firmware version 1.2. This new version has an annoying bug, it plays titles not until the end, instead it interruptes playing and continue with the next title.
    At the moment I downgrade to the older version 1.1.2 and hope to remove this strange behaviour.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch.  I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1.  When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4

    my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Identifying iPod models
    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • Error message when trying to update ipod software

    I have OS 10.3.9 but am getting the following message...,
    You cannot install this software on this volume. This update requires OS 10.2.8 or higher. Please advise. Thanks.

    If you're trying to install the updater onto your iPod directly, you can't. Instead, install the iPod updater onto your hard disk, and then open the /Applications/Utilities/iPod Software Updater folder. There should be one or more copies of the iPod updater inside this folder; double-click the most recent copy. Once the iPod updater has opened with the iPod plugged in, click the Update button and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update. If you get a message telling you the updater couldn't find a firmware image, choose the Update iPod command from the Options menu to continue with the update.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • Updating iTunes without updating iPod software

    If I update my iTunes to 7.6, when I plug in my iPod will it require that I update iPod software too?
    If I update my iPod I will lose the majority of my music because it will require me to factory reset (it was initialized on a PC and is still on those settings) so I don't want to be forced into that option. I'd like 7.6 though so I can rent movies.
    any help would be great!

    No, you'll have the option to update iPod software--or not. I updated to iTunes 7.6, but I still haven't updated iPod from 1.2.1 to 1.2.3.

  • Windows 200 PC with SP4 won't boot after install of iPod software from CD.

    I installed the iPod software from the CD of my new iPod mini. It requested that I reboot the PC, which I did but it never rebooted. It hung and would not even boot in safe mode. After many attempts I booted to the boot console and when throught the install repair process. The PC will still not boot.
    Is there any way to bring up the PC without having to rebuild it?
    Has anyone found a way to get the PC back to it's original state, without a disk re-format?
    Does Apple have a solution?
    Any comments from Apple Support or their QA team would be of interest

    Last know good does not work. I don't receive any error messages. I did the repair but PC still will not boot. The starting windows bar goes about three quarter of the way to the right and then it just stops. It does this regardless fo which boot mode I choose (ie. safe mode).
    I do not have the iPod plugged in during this process.
    Is there anything else I can do or that we can try from the console command mode?

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.
