This is correct.
As a Apple has posted on their website since early June, the ONLY ipod touch that can handle ios 7 is the 5th gen.

    You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

  • My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date

    My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date. And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone. I have tryed to download the most resent iTunes because I went to apple website and just hit download iTunes so I guess it's the most resent version and I don't know what to do. Should I go to an apple store?

  • Ipod Tough 4th Generation Apps Won't Update

    Hello,
    Just got the message to update some apps on my ipod.  Now it won't update to IOS 7, which is fine, but I've never had a problem with it not being able to update the apps.  It says it's no longer compatible.  I'm assuming that this is because the new apps are for IOS 7. 
    The find my phone is pretty important and I'm wondering if the fact that it won't update will hinder it from working properly.
    Also, the garageband & pages will not update as well, and I find it very handy to use it to put down ideas on my ipod and then transfer it to my computer.  Will the fact that it won't update cause compatibility issues with the computer as well, since I just updated it to Mavericks?
    Is any body else having this problem?
    Thank you for your responses.

    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    after that download the ipsw corresponding to your ipod. usoing link below
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/18/ios-7-ipsw-direct-download-links/
    After download hold the ipods home and power button for 15 seconds. itunes will detect an ipod in recovery mode. hold the option key and click restore. finder will pop up and find the ipsw via search and click on it and choose it.
    this should work

  • Fifth Generation iPod won't update music

    My new fifth generation 30gb iPod refuses to be updated. It worked fine until I transfered a few photos onto it and now unless I have the "synchronise photos from" check box checked, I no longer have the option to update. When I have the box checked it only updates for photos. I have restored it once so far with the same problem returning as soon as I transfer photos. Any clues on how to sort this would be appreciated.

    My 30GB ipod wont update music videos. I bought a
    couple of music videos from the itunes store and
    after they downloaded I connected my ipod to my emac
    and a error message popped up and said that the
    videos werent the right format. What is the right
    format and how do I go about changing it??? What do I
    do?
    Does the message say that the files cannot be updated to the iPod because they cannot be played on the iPod?
    Go into the "music" tab on the iPod settings, make sure the option that says "include music videos" is checked (if you had to check it, click "apply")
    You could try selecting the file in iTunes, and then clicking File > Get Info. See if all the Summary tab information is missing. If it is, something might have happened during the download. You might want to go into your purchase history and report a problem with it. In most cases, iTunes will let you redownload the file.
    The problem is, everything downloaded from the iTunes Store is a protected file, so I don't think anything is going to let you convert it. Protected files usually can't be converted...

  • 3rd generation ipod touch is locked and says to connect to itunes.  It will not connect to itunes because it is locked.  What do I do?

    My son has a 3rd generation ipod touch.  He couldn't remember the passcode and locked it up.  It is saying that you have to connect it to Itunes to unlock it.  However, when I hook it up to Itunes, it says that you have to unlock it first.  I need help in getting it unlocked!  Someone please help me???

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If recovery mode doesn't work, try DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode instead using the instructions in this article.

  • My 4th generation Ipod won't sync?

    I just switched into a new account on my computer (not itunes. it's like the administrater account on my laptop) and I deleted my other one. So now there is only guest, and administrator. Itunes was already downloaded. I plugged my Ipod into my laptop. Nothing happened. I went onto itunes and when I tried to click on sync and stuff, all of those buttons are greyed out and i can't click on them. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've succesfully synced before.  My Ipod isn't under my devices, and I can't click on it or anything so I have no idea what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. You are now trying to sync with a new iTuns library. To make this library your syncing library do the following:

  • I can get my music on my iPod,but when I try to downloading onto my ipad 4th generation it won't work, it says it downloads by it isn't showing up in music, any ideas?

  • I just got a 4th generation ipod touch from someone and there's a passcode. when i've tried to reset/restore it, itunes says i need to enter the passcode to continue. how do i unlock it?

    when i clicked "restore" on itunes it started updating the ipod touch, but halfway through it says i need to enter the passcode. i let the whole download finish and it still says i need to enter the passcode. what do i do?

    Are you sure you are following the instructions correctly?  Placing the iPod in recovery mode wil allow you to bypass the passcode lock.  If it's still asking you for the passcode, you aren't doing something correctly.  Keep trying.
    If no luck there, try DFU mode as well.

  • 5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

    My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
    Anybody got any ideas?

    Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder.  If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application.  Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

  • Startup trouble, won't update and says "operating system not found"

    So when I tried updating to the new thunderbolt update thingy (yes I know, VERY late but I kept forgetting to update it and I didnt have time) it didnt start up because it said "operating system not found" after 30 mins of looking around for tips to reboot they didnt work,
    I troed rebooting and it worked, and I followed the instructions to "download Mac OS X Lion" again. But it wont redownload because this reason:
    "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed."
    I have tried everything and since I downloaded the thunderbolt REALLY late I dont think anyone else had had this problem.
    Help me please?

  • IPod Won't Update - Is iTunes 7 to blame?

    I started having problems with my iPod's playback - skipping songs in a playlist and skipping to the next track before the end of the song - I then tried to add songs (and update calenders etc.) using iTunes 7 (having only just downloaded it) and then everything stopped working.
    The iPod registered on the computer and in iTunes - the contents of the iPod appeared in ITunes too, but it refused to accept new songs - when I tried to add songs, iTunes said it was updating, but it froze on the second song and iTunes then crashed.
    I have restored the iPod and reinstalled iTunes 7, but neither of them work - the iPod won't update and iTunes constantly crashes (particularly when playing and pausing songs). I tried downgrading to iTunes 6.0.5 - which works fine - but the iPod still would not update.
    Are these problems due to iTunes 7 being rubbish or do I have a broken iPod?? Is there anything I can try??
    I have also just realised my mistake in putting this question in the Fifth Generation iPod forum, as I don't have one. Apologies for that - I have an iPod with click wheel but I don't seem to be able to move the question!

    hi Jim!
    Plug in my iPOD, and it says its updating, and I can see the new music on the iPOD from iTunes, but its NOT ON MY IPOD when I unplug and try and play.

  • My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge.  Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic.  Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

    My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch.  It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic.  Anyone else have this same issue?  Any solutions?

    The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay.  The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs).  My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work.  So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch.  We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger. 
    One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic.  So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal.  Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord.  Or that I need to purchase an applie charger.  We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work. 
    My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
    Any other advice is greatly appreciated.
