HT4623 Can the iPod Touch 3rd Generation update to IOS 7? If so, how do i update it?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen.) has IOS 5.1.1, but when I try to wirelessly update, it keeps saying my software is up to date. Can someone please help me update to IOS 7.0.2?

   There is nothing you can do! . . . If you wan't iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).

  • Does the ipod touch 3rd generation not support games?

    I recently purchased an ipod touch 3rd generation for my granddaughter.  We loaded music onto it with some difficulty but have been unable to load games.  Am I doing something wrong or does this unit not support games??

    Yes.
    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
    Also are yo sure yo have a 3G?
    A 3G goes to iOS 5.1.1 while a 2G only goes to iOS 4.2.1

    You cannot.
    You would have to buy a new one.
    Apple will gie you a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

  • HT4623 Can my ipod Touch MC011LL be upgraded to ios 7?

    Can my ipod Touch, model MC011LL be upgraded to ios 7?

    No. You have a 3G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • HT4623 can the ipod touch support iOS 7 update because my ipod keeps saying its update

    i can not update my ipod touch to iOS 7 can some one help me with this problem i keep checking and it keeps telling me its up to date

    The 4th generation can not be upgraded beyond 6.1.3. It lacks the required hardware (RAM) for the new version of iOS.

  • How do you update ios 5 on the ipod touch 3rd generation

    i have an ipod touch 3g and i want to update it to ios 5 bu how

    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:

  • Can the iPod Touch 5th Generation support iOS 5?

    Just wondering if the new breed of iPod Touch will be iOS 5 (and by that I mean possibly, 5.0.0,  5.15.0,  5.25.0.1,  5.35.1, or 5.45.1.1).  If it can support one of the versions of iOS 5, a few, or even all, please specifiy.  Thank you!

    Well, I mean it is possible to downgrade your software, all you have to do is find the iOS version you're looking for online, and when the iPod is connected, (if you're running Windows like myself), shift click (Shift+Click) the 'update' button on the iPods main menu, and instead of just updating to the newest iOS, it will ask you to locate the (iOS) file that you want the iPod to run on, in Windows Explorer.
    This allows you to find older iOS versions just in case something to the newest version (such as iOS 6) isn't to one's personal preference.
    I was just wondering, because I know many people with iPhone 4S's and many of them seem to not like iOS 6, and I'm not too keen on it myself.  Since I will soon be getting an iPod Touch 5g (which naturally comes with iOS 6 preinstalled), I was just wondering if the hardware on this newest iPod would be able to support the software for iOS 5?  Y'know, just in case.

  • Can the iPod Touch 4th Generation connect to other iPod's via Bluetooth?

    Can you connect to other iPod Touch's and transfer Photos etc?

    Yes.  Google GPS for iPod touch and you will find some.  You will need an app that stores maps since without an internet connection, the Google Maps app will not work.

  • HT4623 is the ipod touch 4th generation compatible with ios7

    My son has an iPod touch 4th gen.  and was trying to update it but it says at version 6.1.5 that it is at the latest version.  Is the 4th gen ipod touch able to update to verion 7 of ios?

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Are the motherboards on the ipod touch 3rd generation replaceable?

    Will the data on the old motherboard be erased? Like songs, videos, games, etc.

    Yes, the logic boards and other parts (touch screen, display screen, battery, headphone jack, buttons etc.) are replaceable IF you have the proper tools and skills.
    There are numerous parts vendors on the web, including eBay.  Most vendors/repair facilities will give you the necessary tools and some vendors even provide multi-media instructions.  You Tube has repair videos as well...
    The first problem to over come is getting your iPod open.  The touch screen (AKA Digitizer) is fragile and easily cracked, and the ribbon cable that connects the digitizer to the logic board is very short and easily torn.
    From that point on replacing parts (with the exception of the headphone jack) is a simple matter of disconnecting one or more ribbon cables, removing the defective part(s), installing the new part(s), connecting the ribbon cable(s) and then reassembling the iPod.  Replacing the headphone jack requires soldering skills and some specialized tools/equipment.

  • On the ipod touch 4th generation running on ios 6.1.3 can you get the battery percentage as a status bar item?
