Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version. When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating.
I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod. (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

Thank you for you input so far.....
I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
Have I got that correct. I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!??? or am I missing something?
Thanks
Frustrated even more now!!

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

I tried to update my 4th generation Ipod touch and it put me on the restore screen, when I click restore on Itunes it says I'm not hooked up to the internet whe I am. My ipod is stuck on the restore screen, help?

Sounds like this
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Ever since i updated my 4th generation ipod touch software to 6.0.1 it keeps shutting off for no reason. anyone know why it might do this?

If the reset does no work
Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Maybe the replacement is defective.

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

Apple wil exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
For how see:

That is about the same price as a third-party place like this one.

Having trouble updating my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 6

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which is currently running iOS 4.3.2. It is not jailbroken, it is registered to me, and there is to my knowledge nothing wrong with it. I installed the latest version of iTunes on my girlfriend's computer because I don't have internet access at my house, signed in, plugged up my iPod, backed it up, and attempted to update it. I tried SEVERAL times, and each time iTunes finishes downloading the update, but won't actually install it on my iPod. I don't get any error messages; it just quits/gives up. ITunes offers no explanation as to why it stopped the update, and I have to start all over again. I don't understand why it won't work. Someone please help me. Thanks in advance.

- Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install described here:

IOS won't update on 4th gen iPod touch??

This message appears: The iPod software could not be contacted. Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I have a 4th generation iPod touch. I updated my iTunes. And honestly the only thing in the above message that makes sense is to try again later. Well I tried that several times.
I have iOS 4.2.1 and I know that the fourth generation can get ios 6 right?
I am not a very techy person. Please if you have hints let me know.
Thank you!

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Ciould be just an Apple glitch

Does Apple plan to discontinue support/update for 2nd Generation iPod touch as latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1?

I have 2nd Generation iPod touch and latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1. Most of the Apps on iTunes now require iOS 4.3 at minimum. Isn't it outrageous that Apple is not supporting such iOS update for older iPod? Is there plan to discontinue such support?

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch too and I currently have 24 Apps that I cannot update. Unlike you however, I hold the App developers responsible for the fact that they (the App developers) are not supporting iOS 4.2.1.
It is the App devloper who decides to modify their App so that it then requires a particular version of the iOS. Since a developer can have a free and a paid version of an App, it begs the question why don't they have the older and newer versions.
I now check the requirements for an App before I click on update. If it still only requires iOS 4.2.1, then I can update. If it requires a higher iOS, the I simply don't update it. One good thing is that by now, most of the older Apps are quite stable and bug free, so the update is usually to give something extra. Since I cannot update the App, I simply forgo the "extras".

How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps. It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3. How do I get that on this ipod? This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch. I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?

I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AM

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
