I converted a 3Gs to an iPod touch for my 5-yr-old daughter.  I want to update to ios6 but don't have the option to on iTunes NOR when I got to my "settings > general" because it doesn't give me a "Software update" option.  It says I'm running the latest version, 4.2.1.  HELP!!

  • Can I update ios 5 from 4th generation ipod touch?

    I want to buy the 4th generation ipod touch, but I also want the ios 5 installed into the ipod touch. However, I don't want to wait for the ios 5 release date in the fall to buy the ipod. Can I just download the ios 5 to the ipod directly? Or do I have to wait for the ios 5 release date to buy the ipod?

    Check compatible devices at the bottom of this page.
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html
    You will have to install iOS 5 via the iTunes update process.

    I updated my apple id online but now I do things on my Ipod Touch because it's only allowing me to use the old one.  Any ideas?

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?

    I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
    How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.

    The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore  to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

  • Can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0

    I can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0.
    There is all black screen when I turn on my camera. 
    I open the restriction setting already.
    thank you.

    Try:
    - 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: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How can i fix an update issue between iTunes and my iPod Touch

    I've recently found my iPod Touch's cable that plugs into the usb drive of my computer. I Downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto my computer, but my ipod hasnt been updated in a while, and when i plug it in, an error pops up in itunes saying I need to unlock my ipod touch in order to sync it. I cannot do this, because when the ipod is turned on/plugged in the only thing that shows up is the image of the ipod cables usb end with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. How can i resolve this issue and fix my ipod touch?

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on its syncing computer.  For recovery mode see:

  • I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

    I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

    I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

  • I am updating the software on my daughters IPOD touch 4th generation and it is going on 4 hours now.  I know this is not normal.  What can I do?  It synced just fine, but has been stuck on" updating ipod software for 3 hours now!

    She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then.  I can not exit out of itunes either.

    If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required.  You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

    Can i not have Icloud if i have ipod touch 2nd gen? Can i do anything to update generation?

    Nope, you're done.  To get  iCloud you need at least a 3rd generation Touch.  And, you CANNOT upgrade your 2nd Gen to make it a 3rd Gen..
