HT1459 Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

If it's a second generation iPod touch, no; they can't be updated past 4.2.1.
If it's a third generation iPod touch, yes.
If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, no; they can only be updated directly to 6.1.3.

  • HT1329 Can I update my iPOD touch from a new computer?

    I was wondering if it's possible to update my IPOD touch from a different computer, the one I was using crashed and now I can't update my ipod and it's difficult because I can't download current games.
    Also, How do I download my music from my ipod to the new computer

    Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer, then you can sync and update the device.
    If for some silly reason you have failed to backup, shame on you.
    That being said you should be able to do the following:
    Connect the device to the computer but do not sync.
    Right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    Once complete, right click on the device and select Backup Device.
    Doing this should change the device association to the new computer allowing you to sync and update the device and apps.

  • Can I update a iPod Touch from a different PC and not lose my media files?

    OK. Here is the question, can you update a iPod touch which is on iOS 4.x to iOS 6.0 using a different computer that it was originally synced to, but not lose any of the media files on it?

    Only if all your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library of that computer.

  • How can I update my ipod touch from 5.0.1 software to 5.1 ?!

    If u know just tell me abut it because i can not open safari,apps,etc...
    i want the new software because i want siri.

    Siri is not part of iOS 5.1 for the iPod touch, so if that's your only reason for upgrading, you'd be wasting your time. Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S.
    If you want to upgrade, though, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    or if you have WiFi from your iPod go to the Software Update section of the General settings .

    You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself. To make a suggestion to Apple:

    Per the following the 4G iPod does not have the hardware to adequately support Siri.

    It sounds like you may have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. If so, 4.2.1 is the highest iOS. Please note there was never a 2nd Generation 8gB version of the iPod Touch.
