HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

How do I update the software?

Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

  • HT4623 My iPod Touch does not have "software update" button - what to do?

    Wanted to download Google App but was told I needed iOS 5.1 or above 
    I currently have iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
    The website for iPod Touch says go to Settings/General/Download Software but there is no such button.
    My Model Nr is MB531BT
    I have about 145MB left - is that enough?

    No.
    Looks like yours could be a 2nd Gen... If so... iOS 4,2,1 is as far as it can go

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it...
    if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

    apple wont give me a new phone cause I broke the screen and I replaced it my self.
    Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
    There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
    And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
    Good luck.

  • TS2771 My daughters iPod touch does not turn on even after hooked up to charger for over 24 hours. Tried to hold the power button and home button at same time for 10 seconds and still did not turn on.

    My daughters iPod touch does not turn on even after hooked up to charger for over 24 hours. Tried to hold the power button and home button at same time for 10 seconds and still did not turn on.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

    The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

  • Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

    My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.

    Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
    Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

  • Ipod touch does not charge and sync/appear in Itunes or on my computer - But will charge when plugged into the mains?!

    Hi
    I have a IPod touch 32GB, but im having a few problems with it.
    When i plug it into the computer its doesn't charge or appear in ITunes and 'my computer'.  However when i plug it into the mains it charges!
    Any idea what's happening the my iPod?!   Any help to save my precious iPod would be very helpful!

    If the cable works from a wall charger, then I'd try a different USB port, verify your USB ports support USB 2.0 (may be a setting in BIOS), or try a different computer...
    For the last test, if the computer has iTunes installed, DO NOT SYNCH your iPod!!!

  • New ipod touch does not have firmware 2.0

    I ordered my ipod touch on July 17th, after the firmware release but still have the older firmware. Am I still supposed to pay for the firmware update? I have no idea whom to pose this question to at apple. Any ideas/thoughts?

    I ordered my Touch on the 17th also and it arrived with software version 1.1.4 installed. Not even the most recent FREE one!! AND I am having REAL trouble accessing email via the Touch...nothing has worked despite calling my ISP, Apple and investigating every bulletin board post that is related. NOTHING has worked to help me. Someone suggested that it might be a software glitch the downloading the newer version might fix. If my device isn't fully functional, shouldn't any updates be FREE? One would think so! I bought this in the understanding that I would be able to access email via my Touch!!

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS2972 iPod touch does not have permission to access requested resource

    trying to play video via home sharing and am able to see the videos in the home sharing library, but when I click on a video, I get the message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource." 

    I came here with the same question. I didn't find an answer here but kept monkeying around with my new ipod touch and THIS WORKED FOR ME...YAY! At the upper left of the screen if you see a little "sharing" symbol, tap it. Then, if you get a choice between "Library" and "Your ipod" (whatever you named it)... tap on your ipod's name. I had mistakenly gone there and tapped library and was not able to acess videos or movies. I was getting the "you do not have permission..." message. Now everything is hunky dorey! Hope this is helpful.

  • My iPod touch does not have new software (purchased Jan 26th)

    Hey,
    I know a similar question has been asked and was solved, but this situation is slightly different. I'm in South Korea and purchased my iPod at a store similar to a WalMart. Anyway, I purchased the iPod a few hours ago (on the 26th of January) and noticed that it did not have any of the new software updates (i.e. maps, stocks, weather, etc.) I'd love to have those programs on my iPod and I even waited until after they were released so I wouldn't have to pay for them like was said... and am quite disappointed that my iPod doesn't have the said software. I have a receipt and everything to prove the purchase... does anybody know of a number I can call or anybody I can speak to to sort this issue out?
    Thanks.

    This is very frustrating. I called the Apple Customer Service in USA but the lady on the phone was not helpful to me in any sense. I tried calling the number that was mentioned above but for whatever reason, it says the number does not exist. Calling the Apple Store in Korea (which is on the other side of the country, no less) was not useful as I was met with a voice recording in Korean (I don't speak Korean).
    In any case, I asked the lady over the phone in USA if I could receive a credit over the phone... she basically laughed at me which was quite rude. I understand that I might have to visit an Apple Store, but considering there's only one in this country and it's way on the other side, financially, it doesn't make sense. I also don't feel right having to pay $20 for software that I should be entitled to considering I purchased the iPod after the release of everything. I own two MacBook's and this would be my third iPod... I've given Apple their fair share of my money... I'm not giving $20 here.
    Does anybody have any other suggestions/solutions? Is there an e-mail address I can contact that anybody knows of? ... Thanks to all the other suggestions.
