HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

how do I tell the ipod which computer I normally use? All of the computers i normally use to sync with tell me to use the computer I normally sync with?
Then those are not the syncing computers. You can manage music among different computers.
What computer did you setup your iPod on and do updates on/?That is usually the syncing computer. -

Has this happened to anyone else? The "Software Update" button was gone and I'm trying to update my software, is this common? Where could I find it? (
My laptop isn't working well so I'm avoiding it)This feature is ONLY available when you are running ios 5 or later.
You would need to update as always - open itunes, connect iphone -
Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????
You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I have an iPod touch with version 4.2.1 software that I need to upgrade to 4.3. How can I do this? I cannot download apps without the upgrade.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
How can I do the recovery of my mac mini with my western digital password protected hard disk (it's my timemachine) when I do the process of recovery everything goes well until I have to choose the date of a previous saving from which I can do the recovery nothing appears.
In the sidebar of a Finder window, select the icon representing your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) At the top level of the volume are folders with these names, among others:
Applications
Library
System
Enter Time Machine and select the most recent snapshot, which is behind the frontmost window. Are those folders present in the snapshot? -
Bottom line I'll be without my Mac for at least 2 to 4 weeks it's interservice I like to use iTunes Match on iPad,iPhone, AppleTV is there a work a Round anyone knows about?
iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

How do you change the computer you normally sync with?
My friend is trying to get iOS 5 on his new computer but it wants to delete all his iPhone data. We already transfered his data. How can we update his iPhone without wiping his iPhone and using his old computer?
Plug it in and sync it.
The current data will be erased from the iphone and replaced with content form the new computer, so make sure that you have copied everything from your old computer to the new one. -
