HT1353 Why won't my ipod (model #MC086LL) update to ios5 or ios6?

?

I believe your iPod is a 2nd generation model. If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, then it is 2nd generation.
The 2nd generation iPod Touch cannot install iOS after 4.2.1, because it isn't powerful enough to run iOS 4.3, let alone iOS 5 or 6.

  • Why won't my iPod acknowledge my updates?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod (w/ click wheel) that is showing the screen with the file and restarting itself at random times. I have tried updating my software, but the iPod won't acknowledge the update attempts. How do I make my iPod work for me?

    I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

    Why won't my ipod shuffle charge in a portable USB charger?

    Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
    There are some complaints,  that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - 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
    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.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

  • Why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb

    why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb is used?

    A new USB what? Cable? If the old one still works and the new one does not that would point to a bad new cable.

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

  • WHY WON'T MY COMPUTER ACCEPT LATEST UPDATE

    FIREFOX COMES ON MY SCREEN WITH A NEW UPDATE AND IT HIGHLY RECCOMENDS I DO SO . I AGREE BUT IT REFUSES TO ACCEPT MY UPDATE. WHY WON'T IT ACCEPT THE NEW UPDATE??

    I tried creating the new user account but that didn't change anything. Neither did updating to OS X 10.4.3. It just doesn't make sense because I've had the same thing happen with tv dvd players not being able to play stuff but all the computers can and stuff like that, but my dad's computer, which is the same model as mine, can play it and mine can't. It just keeps spitting it right back out. :\ Any more suggestions? I bought the extended warranty, I might try giving Apple a call.
