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...

HT4623 My iPad 2 does not say software update between about and usage in gerenal setting anyone know why this is

My iPad 2 does not say software update between about and usage in general setting anyone know why this any help welcome thanks

Keith. Look in settings, general, about. About halfway down the screen is an entry labeled version. If it is anything lower than 5.0, then you wil not get wireless updates. You need to plug your pad into your computer that you set it up with which is running the current version of I tunes to get the update.
When you plug it in to i tunes, be sure to do a backup. Also, the machine will ask if you want to transfer purchases. Tell it yes. This saves your content and purchased apps and music to your iTunes on the computer. When you do the software update, it will then reload that material onto your pad.
If you have taken any pictures on your pad, be sure to upload those to I photo, or whatever photo library you are using so that they are not lost when you do the upgrade.
Once you get to the current version, any future software updates can be done over the air, not requiring you to use the computer. That feature was enabled with version 5. But it is a good idea to do backup and syncs with your computer from time to time.

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

The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4623 how about updating an older ipod which does not offer "software update" as a choice when one taps on General under Settings?

Unless you have a 2nd generation iPod Touch, in which case 4.2.1 is the highest possible.

HT4623 My iPad does not say software update?

How do I update my iPad to iOS 5. My settings/general does not say software update?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
A first gen iPad will be update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.0.1 .

I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods." Here are my suggestions.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Ipod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does in iPhoto

My iPod touch does not show up under Devices in iTunes, but it does show up under iPhoto. Can anyone help troubleshoot this problem?
Thank you for your help.

try following the info here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1611
Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Why the iPod Touch does not support GPS Bluetooth Reciever

Why the iPod Touch does not support Bluetooth GPS.
I had to make a jailbreak justto install and use roqyBT a Bluetooth GPS receiver,
This aplication run witch these software:
TomTom
Navigon
iGO
Maps
Google Earth
Around me
And run wich several receives as iBT 747, QSTARZ Q-1000, Holux M-1000 and my Nokia LD-3W.
But I didn´t like to use Jailbreak, I only make the jailbreak to use a GPS bluetooth.

Ipod touch supports bluetooth for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer to peer apps from the app store.
Why is not a question that can be answered here.
Only Apple would know.

IPod Touch does not sync any info

hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

Thank you so much! what a swift reply - I am amazed! but my main problem is trying to transfer an app bought in iTunes to my desktop Mac. I thought 'seeing' the iPod in Devices would make it easier, but I am stuck... Can you help?
