HT1414 how do i update itouch second generation to latest OS software?

I have a iTouch second generation (i believe) and the current soft ware is 3.1.3. I attempted to update via iTunes to the latest software but I receive an error message. I went through the tutorial steps and haven't made any progress. Has anyone had this problem before?

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • HT1222 How do I update my first generation iPad without the software update button in the general settings menu?

    When I go to my app store the store will load but nothing within the store will load. I haven't updated my Ipad in a long time because the computer died I would use. I have tried different things but can not find a way to update to the new operating systems which is what I believe is causing my problems in the app store.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    A first gen iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple).

  • How do I update my iPhone to have latest iTunes software version 11.1

    When going to iTunes, it said I need to get version 11.1 before being able to do anything.  How do I go about downloading 11.1 from iTunes website?

    iTunes 11 goes on your computer, not on your iPhone. On your computer, go to the iTunes tab above, download the installer, and run it.

  • The front and back camera on my itouch second generation stopped working. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

    The front and back camera on my itouch second generation stopped working. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

    First, try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, set it up as new device again, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, get it serviced, the issue might not be software related.

    If only that were true! There have even been cases (in these discussion pages) of people believing they have a 4th gen Touch but it turns out it was a 2nd gen Touch.

  • HT1414 how can I update software on an old ipod?

    Hey Guys,
    How can I update software on an old iPod touch? I currently cant download any apps etc as im too out of date ;-(
    Thanks for your help ;-) 

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    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.
    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

    My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps.  It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3.  How do I get that on this ipod?  This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch.  I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

    Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

  • How can I force my Second Generation Airport Extreme to use 2.4GHz when extending the network of my Fifth Generation Airport Extreme?

    Hi,
    Would be great if anyone can help.  I have setup my Second Generation Airport Extreme to extend the network of the Fifth Generation Airport Extreme.  The 2nd generation Airport extreme seems to automatically get set to use 5GHz vs 2.4GHz.  I would like to force it to use 2.4GHz so my older devices can connect to it.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    Enable the option to assign a different name to the 5 GHz network on your 5th Gen AirPort Extreme.
    Then, the 2nd Gen Extreme will only "see" the 2.4 GHz network, and extend that signal.
    If you are not sure how to do this, post back to tell us what operating system you are using on your computer so we will know what version of AirPort Utility you are using....so we can provide the correct steps for the setup.

  • How do I update my 4th generation iPod there is no software button

    How do I update my iPod classic when there is no software button in settings-general?
    I Have googled it but everyone assumes there is a software button !!!

    The iPod Classic has no Wifi, so no internet connection, and as such no way to update form within itself.
    To update the software on an iPod classic you must connect the iPod to a computer running iTunes.
    From the iPod Classic Manual:
    Updating and restoring iPod software
    You can use iTunes to update or restore iPod software.
    It’s recommended that you update iPod classic to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod classic back to its original state.
    •If you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs aren’t affected.
    • If you choose to restore, all data is erased from iPod classic, including songs, videos, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod classic settings are restored to their original state.
    Update or restore iPod classic:
    1 Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com
    2 Connect iPod classic to your computer.
    3 In iTunes, select iPod classic in the device list and click Summary. The Version section tells you whether iPod classic is up to date or needs a newer version of the software.
    4 Click Update to install the latest version of the software.
    5 If necessary, click Restore to restore iPod classic to its original settings (this erases all data from iPod classic). Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.
