HT4623 Can't update iOS 5.1 to iOS 6 on iPod Touch

My iPod Touch has iOS 5.1 and I want to update it to iOS 6, but when I check Software Update, it says it is up to date. I only see instructions for updating an iPod Touch from iOS 4 to iOS 5 or higher. Any suggestions? Is there some reason that I can't complete this update? I also tried from within iTunes.

If yours is a 3rd Gen... then iOS 5.1.1 is as far as it will go.

  • After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • I can not pull any file from mediathek to playlist since iTunes 10.5 . I get an forbidden sign in black. I see my ipod on itunes but can not pull (iOS 5.0) (ipod touch). On other PC all is working.

    I can not pull any file from mediathek to playlist since iTunes 10.5 . I get an forbidden sign in black. I see my ipod on itunes but can not pull (iOS 5.0) (ipod touch). And I can not synchronise...
    On other PC all is working.

    Tried to turn Avast off but the problem still there.
    I created a Playlist to my iphone using the musics already on it and the next try i could add new files to this playlist (and to the iphone) but if I try to add it the way I used to do (directly to the iphone) I still get the prohibited symbol.
    This is ok, since I can use it the way I want (so far, i didn´t try yet to add other files like PDF or CBR files) and find a way to add the files i want, but I cannot help to think how wierd this is...
    I just don´t like the way apple choosed to make possible transfer files to my device. I really like my iphone but my friends with Nokia and Android have an easier life on that matter...

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    The above may allow you to download/install a compatible version

  • HT4623 ive lost all ios on my ipod touch ,, i cant  download any games etc   . how can i install software  needed

    my ipod touch is 4 years old ,, somehow ive lost the ability to download games etc , it says app incompatible ,, how can i load the correct software ?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Can I update my ibook G4 to work with my ipod touch?

    My ibook is running OS X 10.4.11 and I have itunes 9.2.1. When I try and sync my ipod touch 3rd generation, I get a message saying that I need a newer version of itunes to sync my ipod. When i check for updates in itunes, nothing comes up. When I go to update to Itunes 10.5, my ibook doesn't fit the system requirements. What do I do? I just received this ibook, and I've never had a Mac before. Thanks in advance!

    Any iOS device with iOS 4.0 or later requires iTunes 10.x. > iTunes 10.x requires the current version of Safari. > The current version of Safari requires 10.5.8.
    When you purchase Leopard 10.5 you will need to update to 10.5.8 (Combo Update) to be able to use iTunes and sync your devices. And while you can sync with earlier versions of iTunes 10.x, some features will be unavailable, which are only available in the (as of now current) 10.5.2.

  • Update IOS for old ipod touch

    I can't download certain apps to my old ipod touch because it is ios 6 but won't let me update the ios. How do I update? (I tried settings on the touch, I tried syncing with itunes on my laptop, but nothing seems to work)

    The 4G iPod's hardware does not support an iOS higher than 6.1.6.
    If you are not at 6.1.6 what happens when you try to  update?
    Regarding installing apps:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
