HT4623 How to Update software on older iPod Touch
I have an older iPod Touch with software version3.1.3(7E18). The device does not give the option to update under settings and the Summary in iTunes says that it is updated so I need to know how to get it updated? The referenced article gives only these two options. Can it be updated or is it to old? Many apps require ios4.0 and above so it limits my access to many apps. Any answers, suggestions or direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!
The original ipod touch can only go to 3.1.3

While updating software on my iPod touch my computer switched itself off and now iTunes is asking me to restore to original settings. I have photos on my iPod that were not backed up so will I lose them if I resore to original settings? If so is there any way I can get them back?
After you restore to factory settings/new iPod you can restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
That is your only choice -
I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

How to update software without wi-fi? It shows message that first connect to wi-fi then update even if I have 3G net on my phone i5.
Hi Parmkshinde,
Here's why you should use Wifi to do a wireless software update:
While you'd be able to download an update over 3G/4G, the updates are so big that you'll be waiting a really long time (also, you'll eat up a ton of your monthly wireless data), so Wi-Fi is much easier here. You should also make sure you've got plenty of battery life. The download and installation process can take some time, so if you've got less then 50% battery, you may want to plug in to a power source.
Hope this answers your question!
Cheers,

I have recently changed laptops and I have changed the settings in i-tunes so that only the new laptop and my ipod touch are authorised devices. However, despite re-booting and re-syncing, my ipod touch still shows the old laptop as its only authorised device and will not completely update or sync by wi-fi...
any suggestions please??What exactly happens when you try to sync via USB?

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!
I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.
You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.
Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.
