To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G can go to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

I just setup mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings. Our phones are both on my account. Her phone is receiving my contacts, calendars, etc. due to this. Is there a way I can separate her phone from my account in itunes and icloud?

I just set up mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings. I have both phones on one account and actually she purchases apps/music with my sign in and password on her phone.
Now that we are set up on icloud settings, her phone is receiving my calendars, contacts, etc. she does not want and does not need any of these items on her phone. How can I separate the two now? is there a way to have a different login and password for her phone so that it sets up on its own icloud settings?
Thanks

She should create her own Apple ID and start using it for everything, including purchasing.
It starts on the computer in iTunes. There are 2 elements we are dealing with;
purchasing items from iTunes (apps, music) and playing items in iTunes.
Only one Apple ID can be signed in at a time for purchasing. But you can "authorize" multiple Apple IDs for playing. As long as iTunes is "authorized" with both your Apple IDs, items purchased with these different accounts can coexhist in one iTunes Library.
Why this is important, it has to do with back up and being able to transfer purchased items to the computer.
Once your wife sets up her own account, she will want to connect the iPhone to the computer to back it up and transfer any new purchases, iTunes will need to be authorized for that to happen.
With that said, a new feature of iColud is back up. It will back up everything to the cloud. You need to turn it on, it's at the bottom of the iCloud settings on the iPhone. It is limited to 5GB for free, you can buy more. I used all 5GB my first back up, but I have a lot of crap, and there's a lot of things on the iPhone that get backed up that don't count against the 5GB, so it might be plenty of space for you.
When it comes to the iCloud and contacts/calendars, again your wife needs her own account. (ASAP) Does she have a computer in her life that has a list of her contacts and calendars. I hope so, because it sounds like her contacts on her iPhone are now mixed with yours. Or I hope there is still an untouched list of contacts on the iPhone that iCloud didn't mix. Either way Delete your iCloud account from her iPhone. Remove the data, as long as it isn't hers. This will delete all info being synced to the cloud. If she still has a list of her old contacts on the iPhone, great. If not, I hope she has them somewhere else, like her own computer.
Create her an iCloud account. Enter the account info where ever there is a list of contacts/calendars and get the info onto the cloud, then add the iCloud settings to any other devices.
Any new apps/music purchased with her account will back up to the cloud. I don't think apps purchased with your account will. She will also need to enter your password for updating these apps, because they were purchased with your account.
I hope this helped and didn't make thing more confusing. Good luck!

HT4623 I do not have update software in my settings, how do I go about installing ios5 or ios6 on my iPhone 4?

I can't update my software to ios5 or 6 as I don't have an update software option in my settings. I'm old and in need of clear instructions of how to do this and in large letters!!

Turn on computer
Open itunes
Connect iphone
That's it
It will prompt you to update

HT4623 I go to Settings but there is no Software Update option.What should I do?I really need to download Ios6

I am trying to download ios6 for my Ipad2.I was told to go to Settings and then software update.my problem is that there is no software update option ...what can I do now?

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.

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.

HT4623 How do I go back to iOS5 from iOS6

How do I get rid of iOS6. Google maps was one of my most used apps and its been replaced with the less than adequate apple maps. I want to go back to iOS5.

I found Google maps to be close to useless, because it was full of errors and couldn't do turn-by-turn navigation, not only not by voice but not even visually. Can you imagine how lame a GPS app is that you have to tell when you reach a turn? It already must know, but you still have to tap the screen for the next instruction! I once entered an address and it took me to that address, but in a different town 5 miles away. And yes, I HAD entered the correct town name. Just yesterday on my computer using Google maps I looked for an address of a hotel in Danbury CT and it put it right in the middle of Interstate 84, about half a mile from its actual location. And when I entered the street address it showed me the building next door.
Then there's the time I asked it for public transit directions to NYC from NJ. It instructed me to take a train to Hoboken (OK so far...), then WALK ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER.
I gave up on Google Maps on the iPhone a couple of years ago and bought a pocket-sized Garmin. Since iOS 6 I've been using the Apple maps, and it has made a few mistakes (it put a store around the corner from where it actually was in Manhattan), but for most of my needs it is actually usable. I DON'T have to tap the screen when I get to a turn, it knows I'm there, and it speaks the next instruction. And it also shows the road signs I should see, something that Google doesn't do.
And BTW, I'm not alone. There have been a steady stream of complaints about the Google maps app going back 5 years in these forums.

Hey Raffy613,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Sorry to hear about your issue, the issue sounds like the install did not take. The following article will assist with restoring and reinstalling the operating system on your iPhone.

I only recently upgraded from iOS5 to iOS6 and now my apps are crashing constantly and my email won't load

I had put off upgrading my iPhone 4 to the iOS6 and only gave in to it about a week ago when I thought that the trouble I was having with a select few apps was because of my outdated operating system. Now, I'm regretting it terribly and would either like to know how to revert back to iOS5 or fix this irritating as all **** and unproductive system. I had backed up my phone right before upgrading thinking that that way, I could just restore to it if I didn't like iOS6, but now I'm seeing that restoring to that point does not in fact restore firmware.
Now I have a maps app that won't help me plan through public transit.
An email app that will not update my inbox or any box even though it falslely says it checked and there was simply nothing new.
Every other app I have crashes constantly.
When I turn on the iPod/music function, there's an extended delay before the music will actually start playing.
The shuffle function is messed up (if I'm playing a tracklist of 38 songs, it will only shuffle a few of them and just keep looping through those few tracks).
etc etc
My contract is almost up and I was hoping that all the negative stuff I had heard about iOS6 would have been resolved by now so that I could confidently by the next iPhone, but at this rate, I'll be ditching Apple's phone entirely.

Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IOS5 TV Out Settings?

I'm trying to connect my iPad2 with iOS5 to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cables. The audio works fine, but the video is visible, but scrolling like the vsync is off.
I've tried the same TV and same cables with my daughter's iPod Touch Gen 4 with iOS5 and it works fine.
I try to go into Settings -> Video (on both iOS5 devices) and I expceted to see a TV Out setting where I can see if it's set to NTSC or PAL. This no longer seems to exist.
Has it been moved somewhere? Or is it gone?
Does anyone know if the scrolling effect is what you'd see if you plug in a PAL signal into an NTSC TV? I'm thinking it's outputting in PAL instead of NTSC, but can't validate this without the setting available to change it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

NTSC is the US Standard for TV Standard Def signals (480i)
PAL is the standard in the UK (576i)
Which is why I think that this may be causing the scrolling effect. If each frame is being drawn as a 480 row screen and the screen is 576 rows, rows 481 through 576 will be part of frame 2 instead of frame 1, etc. (I know the number of rows are actually half for those that understand interlaced vs. progressive, but keepings things simple for those that don't).
And my iPad is set up for English as a language with United States as Region Format, so if it is supposed to use that to detect NTSC vs. PAL, it may not be.

No, once Apple releases an operating system update the older versions are removed and inaccessable.

Is it possible to rollback to ios5 from ios6 on iPhone 4

Is it possible to rollback to ios5.1.1 from ios6 on iPhone 4 ? After reading the reviews of ios6 regarding the maps I am in a doubt if I should upgrade or not.
My iPhone is clean I mean no jail break etc so please advise accordingly

No, you can't autoforward texts from the iPhone.

HT4623 In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an updates choice. Anybody know anything about this?

In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.
