HT4623 How can update my ipod version 4.2.1 to something higher than 4.3.5?

There are lots of games that require a newer version, but when sync games, etc. the version that is downloaded on itunes is 11.0. my iso is 4.2.1. I'm at a loss!!!

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.

    How can update my ipod to install viber

    If I understand you correctly, you want to install the Viber app to your iPod Touch correct? Why not just downloaded it directly from the App Store app on your iPod Touch over Wi-Fi?
    Note that it requires iOS 4.3 or later. So if you have a 1G or 2G iPod Touch, you won't be able to install the app onto the device as the 1G can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3 and the 2G iPod Touch to iOS 4.2.1.

  • How can I update my ipod version from 1.3 to 2.0 or higher

    How do I update my Ipod version from 1.3 to 2.0 or higher?

    Except for iPod touch (which runs iOS), each iPod model has different software.  The version number doesn't really matter between different iPod models.  The latest version of software for each iPod model is installed by iTunes.
    Connect your iPod.  In iTunes, select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  You should see a button there that says Check for Update.  Click it.  If there is an update available for your iPod model, it will be installed.  If not, you already have the latest version of software for your iPod model.

    what is error code 3194 and how can i past this for i can update my ipod to 5.0.1, what is error code 3194 and how can i past this for i can update my ipod to 5.0.1

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • My ipod touch 3g got V4.2.1 and I want IOS 5 but it said that my ipod has the lates version. How I update my ipod to IOS 5?

    My ipod touch 3G got V4.2.1 and I want IOS 5 but it said that my ipod has the lates version. How I Update To Ipod IOS 5?

    According to the requirements it appears you may be able to run it if you don't have the 8GB version.
    The 8GB version was actually a snazzed up second gen with newer iOS software.
    If it doesn't see it, the hardware probably doesn't support it.
    First make sure you've updated iTunes, then check it again, and if it doesn't show, it probably won't run on it due to the hardware being too slow to handle it.

    I updated IOS 6 in my device, it is performing worse. Consuming too much battery in a very short time. How can I "downgrade IOS version?

    Downgrading isn't supported and wouldn't help.  You need to fix your phone.
    1. Delete and reinstall all email accounts.
    2, Restore the phone in iTunes, first  using a backup and if needed as a new phone.

  • HT4623 i cant figure out how to update my ipod

    i cant figure out how to update my ipod touch from 4.2.7 to ios 7

    Connect your iPod to your computer and update via iTunes.
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    If you iPOd has cameras it is a 4G and will go to 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
    Otherwise y have a 3G iPod. Those can go to 5.1.1 and you need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.
    If problem what exactly happens when you try?
