A 1G can only go to 3.1.3
A 3G only to 5.1.1

  • MY ipod touch wont let me update the apps i have paid for

    my ipod touch will not update paid apps.

    This message should only appear if the specific app was purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you are currently signed in with. Have you or someone else ever EVER downloaded an app to your phone under a different Apple ID? Go to Settings > Store, and make sure the Apple ID there matches the one used to download that particular app.

  • My ipod touch wont let me download free games

    my ipod touch wont download free games

    I had that same problem, I used a gift card (all of it), and when I tried to use the AppStore it wouldn't let me, I tried calling apple support and iTunes support, but they did not help. The way I resolved my problem is I went to the grocery store and bought a visa debit gift card, with $1.00 balance on it and put that info on my billing settings when they asked me to update it or change it or whatever, and it worked perfectly, that may be the ONLY way for your problem to be resolved, and it's a confirmed answer, since I have done it myself, if you don't do that, you will never be able to download free apps, receive and download gifted apps, or even UPDATE an app, it ***** I know, I went through exactly what you did, and if you do what I did, you'll be able to use the AppStore again! Hope this was helpful for you.

    i updated to ios7 now i cant download new apps. what should i do?

    Try a restore via iTunes. You need to put your device in dfu mode to let iTunes restore. If you don't know to put it in dfu mode, google it.

  • HT3702 i cant download any app ? i receive always msg saying to update my payment method even its Free app

    i cant install any app ? i receive always msg saying to update my payment method even its Free app

    What sort of card are you trying to use ?
    If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Ipod touch wont let me download apps or music w/o credit card info

  • My Ipod touch wont let me download apps?

    I recently changed my apple ID to a new email and I changed passwords. Although I changed my apple ID on my iCloud, my Apple ID account, and my Itunes Account, my ipod still displayed my old apple ID and wont accept my new password when I try to download something. It keeps saying "incorrect password or apple ID". I've double checked every account that is related to my Ipod. I don't know what to do? I'm afraid I wont be able to download or update any apps ever again unless I do a factory reset.
    I own a 4th generation 8GB Ipod touch that's around 2 1/2 years old if that's relevant.

    Did you go to Settings.iTunes and App stores and sign out and sign in with the updated ID?

  • My ipod touch wont let me download any add-ons

    I have a 4th gen ipod touch. Whenever i try to download an add-on to an app, like extra coins for a game, it says that i must purchase the app before I can download the add-on, even though the app is downloaded on my ipod and my itunes library. Some of the apps that say this are also free, but they don't have a version that costs money.

    I had that same problem, I used a gift card (all of it), and when I tried to use the AppStore it wouldn't let me, I tried calling apple support and iTunes support, but they did not help.

  • My Ipod touch wont let me add or take off music. How can i reset my music and everything else without deleting any app data?

    It wont let me take any music off and in Itunes it says that I only have 40 songs that are on my cloud. But my Ipod says i have 1400 songs on my ipod and lets me play them all. I dont understand what i should do but i dont want to do a factory reset, that is the last thing i want to do. If you have any suggestions that would be great. Thank you

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    Otherwise:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Ipod Touch 5.1.1 update lock and volume buttons wont work.

    So I just updated my ipod touch 4G to the ios 5.1.1 version and ever since my volume and lock buttons aren't working/responding. The funny thing is, a lot of people are posting the same question but they get the same answer from the same person that says to hold the lock and home button when everybody specifally states that the lock and volume buttons aren't working so those answers are useless. I tried resetting all the settings to factory from the settings menu but still the same problem. What should I do? Is it a bug for every new updater?

    Try changing the DNS server on the iPod. See:

  • Wont let me update anything and this website is useless!!!!!

    i have upgrades and it wont let me upgrade them it starts to maybe transfere 0.1mb then cancels and says there is there was a roblem installing...... i have tried it with bbm whatsapp a few games and all the same ive tried it with 3 g and wifi.
    this website and blackberry support is shocking nearly as bad as the software and battery life i cant wait for my contract to end!

    OK, you are still angry, and want to continue venting...that's fine. I'll try to not take it personally.
    Since you want help, I am going to have to make an assumption that you are using the on-device AppWorld client in the attempts that are causing you problems? If not, then please clarify with details. If so, then I suggest that you clear the AppWorld application cache:
    1. Open App World
    2. Go to My World
    3. Follow one (and only one!) of these steps:
    3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
    3b. For Touch Screen Only BBs -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
    3c. For newer (e,g., OS6 and 7) BB's, see this KB:
    KB24714 How to clear the BlackBerry App World cache
    4. AppWorld should close.
    5. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
    6. Return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it may be sluggish while it re-synchronizes).
    If step (4) does not happen as listed, then the clear cache did not work.
    Hopefully it'll work for you!

    maybe if blackberry had a proper support team
    Well, when everyone signs their contracts (both for device purchase as well as service plans from their carrier), they are in effect agreeing to the support model that exists. In that model, BlackBerry provides no front line support to any end users for anything, not even warranty btw. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and original places of purchase (depending on the issue and region), all who can escalate into BlackBerry for issues that they cannot resolve. But, contractually, all parties are bound to this support model, including the end user.
    There are plenty of debates about the merits and de-merits of that support model...but those debates are IMHO pointless. It is what it is, and all parties are contractually bound to it. Fortunately, there are helpful sites (like this one) with kind volunteers who do their best to help out other kind souls.
    Good luck and let us know...there may be more steps to try in your situation, but I don't want to flood you with suggestions and would rather take a step-by-step approach. If you'd prefer the flood, just let me know and I'll gladly provide it. If you'd prefer formal support, then please do feel free to exercise that channel.
