HT1414 download ios5 for ipod touch

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

  • Ios5 for ipod touch 3G

    How do I download ios5 for my 32GB ipod touch 3G?  I have itunes 10.5.3.3 and when I "check for upgrade" itunes says I have the most current version of 4.2.1.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and reset my ipod but nothing has worked so far.  Any suggestions for how to upgrade?

    Hi there,
    what year/ month your iPod was purchased, just to verify the Generation of your ipod if possible.
    It should be straight forward to upgrade to iOS 5,
    notifying you that you are running the current version -  4.2.1 means that the ipod can not go higher than this afaik

  • Can I use more than 1 laptop to download iTunes for iPod touch please

    Can I use more than 1 laptop to download iTunes to iPod touch?

    My daughter disabled her iPod we took it into the shop to reset it but when I'm starting to add details again it says connect to iTunes we have never used a laptop with this as ours is broken. Someone has offered to do it on their laptop that's why I have asked. Is there no way we could use another laptop in the future. We only buy iTunes cards for it at the moment.

    i just got my ipod touch 2g =D
    i used to have ipod nano but it died. well my question is...... i still have the old itunes on my laptop... do i need to download itunes again for ipod touch?

    The iPod touch will be recognized by older versions of iTunes but there may be some problems, the iTunes may have problems with the features that were introduced after it was released, so it is recommended that you install the latest version.

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • ITunes Fails To Download iOS For iPod Touch In Recovery

    I have an iPod Touch 5 (without camera) that was messed with by someone and ended up disabled for 45 years. As waiting 45 years until I can put in the pass code is not practical, *snickers* I put the iPod into Recovery Mode and went to restore it on iTunes (latest version running on Windows 8), and it wants to update the software to the latest version with the restore. All is well and it starts downloading the around 1.4GB software download. My internet is fairly slow currently. It will get awhile in (about 70-80mb) and a message pops up saying that the internet connection timed out or some similar message appears. When I try again it completely restarts the download. I have tried about three times. I have also restarted the computer. How can I get it to download or even skip the update completely? I have 45 years but id like to get it fixed sooner. lol

    It is safe to use but frequently the iPod encountered an error and got the iPod in recovery mode and you have to restore the iPod to correct the error,

  • Cant download apps for ipod touch

    I cant download apps to my ipod touch." Authorization failed. Please connect to itunes " always pop out. Pls help.

    it's up to the app creators whether they are going to continue to create updates that are backwards compatible - if they choose to make newer updates so they will only work with current software then you are pretty much stuck.
    btw. a few questions on here are different. if your questions aren't EXACTLY the same as an original post, it's better that you start a new thread, it's much easier for us to reply and easier for people to find their responses.

  • SKYPE FOR IPOD TOUCH

    How can I download SKYPE for Ipod Touch ? I Already have Apple ID but as I do not have any Credit Card, so i am unable to complrting review process.
    Is there any other way to get SKYPE FOR IPOD TOUCH?

    Not from your computer. You could get it via a friends computer that has it installed. You would have to sync from his computer and loose everything you have on your iPod. I suggest getting an inexpensive pre-paid debit card and use that.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.
