HT4539 how do you update iOS on ipod

how do you updat operating system on ipod

Connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod 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 iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

What version of iOS that your iPod will be updated to will depend upon which generation it is - older iPod Touches can't update to more recent iOS versions.  If it's a recent model then it should update to iOS 6, in which case you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

  • HT4623 how do you update ios to 4.3

    how do you update your iphone 3g ios to at least 4.3 so you can use apps.

    Connect your phone to the computer you use for itunes normally, then click on update when you are in itunes , BUT, this will update you to ios 6.0.1 because its the latest update. You can not pick whick update to go to. It will only go to the lateset update, which , by the way, will be compatible with your apps.

  • HT4972 How do you update an older iPod V4.2.1 to ios5.1

    I am trying to upgrade my ipod touch to ios V5 but am struggling.  The current version is 4.2.1.  I was told that it would update automatically when connected to ITunes but this is obviously not the case.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPOd. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. See:

  • Once ipad 1 restored to out of box state how do you update ioS

    Got new iPad Air and wanted to give original iPad to my mom, so restored the iPad to its out of box state.  However, now when she goes to set up the iPad as hers and update the software, it says the software is up-to-date (at ioS 5).  How does she update?

    Because Apps get updated all the time. If you had already downloaded a prior version of the App then that's what you were using and not the updated version.
    Your mom should still be able to get a version of the App for the older iOS version though.

    You may need to download the newest version to a compatible device or a computer running itunes so it gets registered to the Apple ID she is using now and can be downloaded then form the Purchased tab in the App Store App.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and click on Update or check for update button?
    If it says yu have 4.2.1 and are up to date then you likely have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.21. If yours is n 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB can be either. To identify your iPod:
