HT4623 What is the highest IOS that my 3rd gen iPod can use?

I've been wondering what the most up to date iOS I can use on my 3rd gen iPod touch. I can't update it from my iPod like everybody suggests I do, do I have to connect it to the computer or is iOS 5.1.1 the most up to date iOS I can get.

iOS 5.1.1 for the 3G
The 2G to 4.2.1
The 4G to 6.1.5
The 5G to the current 7.0.4

    It's version 4.2.1. There actually was an iOS 4.3.1, but it won't run on that model.

  • What's the highest iOS support by iPad1?

    What is the highest iOS version the original iPad will support?  Or better yet does the original iPad support iOS 5.0?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).

    what is the highest ios an ipod touch 3rd gen can do up to?

    Like Ralph Landry1 said
    No one can predict the life span of a particular device, there are too many variables to consider.  Such as, how well it is treated, how it is charged, used in a case, exposure to heat and cold, and on and on.  If you treat it well, it should last for years.
    iPod Touch has a 1 year warrenty, but with the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend it to 2 years. Even out-of -warrenty, its still useful. And please follow through what Ralph Landry1 said.

  • HT4623 what's the highest version of operating system that the 3gs can support?

    I'd like to update my iphone 3gs, what's the latest ios version it can handle?

    Thanks! I did a bit more investigating after posting and found the answer, appreciate your response though. Should I anticipate any issues? I'm using more as an itouch now since I've purchased the 4s as my primary phone. The 3gs was getting terribly sluggish. I hope this doesn't make it even worse.

  • What is the "other" category that occupies storage in iPod touch

    What is in the "other" category that occupies storage in iPod touch?

    The "other" can be corrupted data that keep accumulating, e.g., when you tried to update iOS or apps.
    This is best removed by restoring the iPod.
    Try to restore your iPad by syncing with iTunes and restoring from a backup.  Only, if the backup includes the large "other", restore as a new device.
    See this document on how restoring an iPod:   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Caution: Restoring as a new device will delete all your data.  Save all data to your computer, before you do it, so you can sync the data back.
