I am trying to update my ios 7.0 but i currently have ios4.2.1 and it says that it doesn't need to be updated

I am trying to update my ipod touch's ios to 7.0 or better, through iTunes but after it syncs I scan it for an update and it says "your ipod is currently up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 8/17/2014. How can I bypass this message to update to ios 7.0 or better?

No iPod touch is capable of running both iOS 4.2 and 7.1.2, and you appear to have a second generation iPod touch, which can't be updated past 4.2.1.

HT4204 i have an iphone 3g and its saying that my IOS 4.2.1 is current but yet i cant download the facebook app or whatsapp ive updated my itunes but it stil wont let me. some one help it would be greatly appreciated.

i bought a second hand iphone 3g last week and it wont let me get my apps cause it says that i need IOS 5. on my itunes it say that the IOs 4.2.1 is current and that no update is needed. i stil tried to download fb but it wont let me cause i dont have the IOS 5. please help me.

The Facebook app now requires iOS 5.0 or later. I believe that 4.2.1 was the last version that Apple released for the 3G. And with the rapid approach of the iPhone 5S and possibly 6 they are no longer supporting the 3G. I would not be surprised to see them stop offering support for the 3GS this time around.

HT4889 My new iMac says that my old Macbook is not updated to the latest Yosemite software so it won't let me migrate files. But I have checked my Macbook and it says that it is updated. What should I do?

I am trying to migrate files from an old Macbook--which is already updated with the latest Yosemite software--to a new iMac that also has the latest Yosemite software. But I keep getting an error message that says that my old Macbook is not updated. What should I do?

If the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode.

i have the same problem, have unistalled itunes as was told to because of upgrade fault & now have nothing

I'm trying to upgrade from 3.6.28 but when I do I get a pop up saying that I have Firefox running so it can't even though I tell it to replace the version that'

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to upgrade from 3.6.28 but have been unable to do so. A pop up shows up telling me that I should and offers a line to click on to go ahead and do it. I followed all the instructions and after dragging the Firefox logo to the applications box a window pops up saying there is a version already in the applications folder and do I want to replace it. I clicked on replace and thought I was good to go. When I clicked on the Firefox logo I get the original window telling me I need to update. I clicked on the "About this Firefox and find that I'm still running 3.6.28. HOW DO I UPGRADE? I'm very concerned about losing all my bookmarks so please help!

I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications?

I need to use iMovie, but it says that my Quick Time needs to be updated.. but there are no new updates available

i need to use imovie for a project and i tried to open it but it says i need version 7.6.0 or later, so i went to software updates and there are no updates for my computer.
Any suggestions on what to do?!

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

I have an Ipad 2 Model MC775LL, IOS 6.0.1 (10A523) and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1, but the download is taking too many hours. Is it normal?

You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. 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).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Hi Josephineapo,
If you are trying to update your iPhone over-the-air rather than through iTunes, and you are having issues with installing it, then I'd like you to please follow the steps outlined below.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
Update does not complete
If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Alex H.
