I can't get iOS 6.1.1 on my 4th gen ipod touch. It says "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" Help?

My iPod 4th Generation does not let me download iOS 6.1.1...
The reason I want 6.1.1 is because I want to download kik and a load of other apps but I need 6.1.1. 
The message is "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" or something, and I have no idea what it means or how to fix it because I know barely anything about the apple software things.
I've read a few things about it and discovered that this issue is common, but I can't get the answer I need, and the other posts about this issue were made like two years ago. I've got enough space, definitely, and last night it was downloading it so I put it on the charger and went to sleep, when I woke up it said "Cannot download. Internet connection is required." something like that. I had no issues last night, but now it's saying it cannot download.
Can someone please help?
I've not updated my ipod for a year or so now, but I'm still not sure why it's not working.
Thanks so much!
PS: I currently have ios 5 point something.

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • IOS 6 causing problems to my 4th gen iPod touch?

    Are there any others like me out there? Okay I've updated my iPod touch approximately two days ago and now it's like the biggest regret of doing so. 1) when it was upgrading the software, my iPod touch went on froze for almost two hours and the upgrade wasn't loading. It only continued after a long while. 2) some of my apps suddenly "disappeared" 3) some of my apps crash when I try to open them (example: App Store, groupon, Facebook and even safari itself even though I only had one page loading) 4) everything became so laggy, my apps take almost forever to load, and whenever I type, it takes quite a while to show up especially in google search 5) sometimes my iPod just "crash" randomly and shows me a black screen for like 5 - 10 seconds and I can't do anything about it but wait until it recover.
    iOS 5.1.1 was MUCH better compared to this. This is really a huge disappointment as it has greatly affected the productivity of my iPod touch. I hope your support team is able to recover and repair this damage caused by the upgrade. I look forward to a MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT upgrade to counter this problem.

    Have you tried doing a DFU restore in iTunes? To do a DFU restore, you will need to put the iPod into DFU mode by following this tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    Then, select restore in iTunes.

  • How do I get tv shows to appear on my 4th gen ipod touch, without having to place them in the movies section?

    Whenever I go into the info tab of a video file and change the video type to "TV Show", the file will appear as a TV show in itunes but when I check my ipod there is no TV show folder. As of now, I have all of my tv shows sorted as movies because it's the only way I can get them to appear.
    I've tried filling in every single available box in the info section but nothing does it.

    If you can see an option to transfer purchased content then it sounds like it's set up properly.
    Unfortunately a few people have had problems transferring purchased content and in quite a lot of cases the only solution has been to restore the Apple TV and report a problem through the purchase history to obtain credits for the lost content.
    Before giving up though there are a couple of things you might try.
    1. Pull ALL the cables from the Apple TV, wait a few moments and try again.
    2. Disconnect and reconnect the library. (settings/computer/your library and then settings/computer/connect to iTunes) This will erase all synced content (which whilst time consuming, you will be able to sync back). It won't delete purchased content that hasn't been transferred to iTunes.

  • How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?

    How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?
    It's about 6 years old I think.
    I have put the latest IOS on there (currently 3.1.3 (7E18)).
    I download apps from the app store but they often fail to launch. I assume they're incompatible.
    Is there a way to check which apps will work and which won't before I buy them?
    Thanks!

    I have no idea how my reply could be "misleading". I stated the exact situation: there are millions of apps in the iTunes Store, and providing a comprehensive, accurate list of which apps support which version(s) of iOS would be highly impractical. You can perhaps help with your search by going to AppShopper:
    http://appshopper.com/search/?search=iOS+3
    That will give you at least some starting points, but AppShopper is neither comprehensive nor completely accurate. I've found a number of apps listed there over the time the site has existed that either are no longer offered or which have been updated beyond the iOS version indicated. But it might help.
    Regards.

    How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

    Find an app to which you can save the attachment and which also uses file sharing
    iOS: About File Sharing
    or similar to get the music into your computer. Import into iTunes library and sync to the iPod. There is no direct way to get music into your iPod Music app besides purchasing  from iTunes or syncing from your iTunes library
    GoodReader should work but I do not think it is available for the 2G

    Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1.  I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

    Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

    When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.

  • HT1222 I CAN'T install the iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do?

    I can't install iOS 7.0.2 in my iphone 4. There's an error occured in downloading iOS 7.0.2. What should I do? but my software already iOS 7.tnx

    Are you using iTunes to do the update OTA on your iPhone? If its on iTunes and its giving you the error 
    I reccomend creating a iCloud backup and then downloading the iOS 7.0.2 .ipsw file and installing it manually from your PC. So follow these steps below to do this. (these instructions are for Windows i dont have a Mac so i don't know what you do haha but if you need it i could help and try.
    Connect your iPhone to your PC and open iTunes.
    If your iPhone uses AT&T or i think T-Moblie download the file here http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9871.20130924.7imYu/iPhone3,1_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw (its large! about 1.2 GB)
    If its a 8 GB AT&T iPhone use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9821.20130924.jJ61o/iPhone3,2_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
    If its Sprint or Verizon use this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7/091-9794.20130924.umlNu/iPhone3,3_7.0.2_11A501_Re store.ipsw
    Now once it's downloaded go to iTunes while your iPhone 4 is connected and hold SHIFT AND CLICK "Check for update" and then find where you downloaded the .ipsw file and select it.
    It should work if there is a problem please reply and tell me the issue. Oh and btw MAKE SURE YOY DO A BACKUP TO iCloud

  • When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines.  At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album.  But I can't access it.

    I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch.  When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums".  At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are.  What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
    Thanks.
    Judy

    Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
    Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.

  • My 4th gen Ipod touch won't power up but is recognized by itunes and is in recovery mode! What can I do/

    I can't get my 4th gen ipod touch to turn on but itunes see's it and is in recovery mode. I can hear the beep beep when I plug it in to the usb port. I have also charged it for 3 hrs so far but won't fire up. I tried the customery hold the home and power button routine but don't know what else to do. I tried recovery mode but the itunes say's"waiting for the ipod" and I guess cause it's not on it won't recover. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to all who reply!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
