HT4623 can i update my ipod without itunes via online?

if anyone can help

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. 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.

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

    Can I update an ipod 4 to ios7?

    No.  Only the fifth generation iPod touch has enough RAM to run iOS 7.  You  have a fourth generation iPod touch.  You will not be able to change to  iOS 7.

  • How can I update my ipod without deleting everything on it?

    Ok, so here is the situation, and I am pretty sure I am screwed.
    I have an ipod touch, 32 GB 3rd or 4th gen (the one right before the one with a camera)
    My macbook (1st gen) died last april, taking with it all my music, photos, apps and other such files that are still stored on my ipod.
    I've already used a 3rd party ripping tool to save most of my music, but I have no way of saving or backing up my apps or photos.
    I am currently on my brother's macbook trying to update my ipod so my apps will work right (It has not been updated since april) and
    I keep running into the issue of distroying everything that is on my ipod.
    I do not have to money to get a new computer myself right now, so I can't really just start over, and I really do not want to repay for all the apps I have purchased. is there any way to update the IOS on my ipod touch without distroying all my apps, music and photos?

  • HT4623 Can't update my iPod! Please help!

    When I go into Settings > General there is no "Software Update" for me to click. How am I supposed to update my iPod???

    To update as far as your model iPod will allow
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    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. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 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

  • HT4623 Can you update a 3GS without being connected to a carrier?

    I have an Iphone 3GS that was purchased to operate an ARdrone and needs to be updated to IOS5 to operate, can it be updated without being connected to a carrier? it is unlocked and when I go to settings then general there is no update tab to sellect?

    You can't update over the air unless you're already running iOS 5 or higher. You can update using iTunes. You WILL need a SIM, but it does not have to be tied to active service.

  • HT4623 can I download ios 7 without itunes?

    I want to download the os at home, not at work. My home internet connection is far faster, so I wanted to send my wife a link to download this and bring it to me on a flash drive. I can't find any link to do this and my searches haven't turned up any results, either.

    nevermind, I found it!

  • Can i update to ios6 without itunes

    Have started the update but the laptop I have with me doesnt have iTunes.
    Now my phone seems to want to connect to iTunes?

    If something goes wrong with the process, you will need to re-download all music and any movies or tv shows purchased from the iTunes store and the same for all apps - one by one.

  • HT4623 When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

    When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
