HT4972 How do i update when it doesnt show in settings?

I just bought a used iPod 4 and it is not showing an update in settings, where else can I update?

What exactly happens when yo connect the iPod to your computer and click on update/check for updates in the summary pane for the iPod in iTunes?

Although it says update to to iOS 5, if yu follow the instruction the 4G will go to 6.0.1
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
You do have an iPod with the cameras, right?

How should i do when my iphone show "iphone this update is not available for this apple id because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"

how should i do when my iphone show "iphone this update is not available for this apple id because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"

I came across this issue on my iPad and iPhone today. I did some research and it was suggested that you need to change your region to wherever in the world you originally purchased the app.
This worked for me.
I had tried signing in and out, deleting apps and resetting my devices; because I had never used any Apple ID except for my own personal one, I thought that those options would sort it. I changed my region to the uk (where the apps were purchased) and now they have updated with no other issues.
I hope this helps

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

How do I update when Cloud says already updated?

Apps would not run because of error, so I deleted them. Cloud says they are updated when actually the programs (Fireworks and Flash) have been deleted. How do I update those programs?

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.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
