I can't update my iPod 5g to iOS 6.1.3

Whenever I try to update my iPod touch 5g to iOS 6.1.3, first the installer takes an hour to download (but that's not the problem), then as soon as it finishes downloading, it says that there was some kind of unknown error - my iPod is now stuck in an image like this:
Whenever I try again, it does the same thing. Nothing will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!

All I can then suggest is:
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer

If it's a second or third generation model, no.
If it's a fourth, yes.
If you don't know, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

Can you update your ipod 4 to ios 7

i juts wanted to know can you update your ipod 4 to ios and it crashes alot

No
. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I can't update my iPod touch to IOS 4.2.1 (Error -1)

Im having trouble updating my ipod touch to IOS 4.2.1
"An unknown error occured when restoring Jakinessex's ipod (-1)"
What can I do to fix this?
I click update on my new Macbook-Pro in Itunes,
It vertifys the software,
And just before the update happens,
The error message pops up,
Im also trying to change the apple id on the ipod(I dont have the store icon in the settings to change my apple id, Which the update my ipod hasn't got)
So could you also tell me how to change the apple id in the Version IOS 2.2.1
Thanks!

Try on another computer
Then see:
-1 error
-1 error too
If still problem means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If you get it work, you get the iOS 3.1.3, the last update for the 1G here:

Can't update my ipod touch to iOS 5.3 (4th G)!

i have an ipod touch 4th generation. i want to update it to iOS 5.3 but everytime i do from itunes an error message occurs in different forms. however the most frequent message is: There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod: "xxx's ipod". An unknown error occured(9006). (i currently have version 4.2.1)
along with this, it assumes like 12 hours for the download to be complete and and arror message appears after a few hours.
what is the problem and how should i resolve it to update my ipod touch?

Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

Can i update the ipod touch 2g iOS?

wondering if there is hope to update the operating system of this old thing to one that will actually talk with newer apps? fingers crossed.
i want to give this to my kids to play games on.

I should say that it has been updated to 4.2.1 but i'm wondering if i can push it as far as iOS 5. I am a dreamer.

How can I update my iPod classic that will not mount on iMac computer?

I can't update my iPod classic from my iTunes on my iMac computer with OSX 10.9. It will not mount or be recognized by iTunes version 12.1.
I plug it into the USB port and it charges, gives the "Do not disconnect" symbol but the computer does not recognize or mount the iPod at all. I haven't been able to update the music for years. I have four other devices associated with my Apple ID for automatic downloads. Is it too antiquated to upload any of my music from my computer to it anymore?

Ahh! The plot thickens!
I went thru the console and read the error logs. It appears that the .ipsw file does load.....I think. It's been years since I spoke computer....
Here is what I got after double clicking the .ipsw file and iTunes opened:

I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6

I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6... I've updated my iTunes to 10.7 checked my security software tried restoring my iPod and then downloading on my device and my laptop. When I connect it to the computer I try downloading & updating and only downloading.. Still nothing I get error messages, can't connect to update server messages.. I'm just thinking about giving up... What the heck do i do !!??? Will the local apple store do it for me and what's so going to be on the 5th gen I may just wait and get that one. Please help.

Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself. To make a suggestion to Apple:

Can't update my iPod Touch to 3.1 (Windows 7 here). Help

Every time I try to update my iPod Touch to 3.1 it says that an error occurred (says "error 14) and then I can't update my iPod. It is now useless without any system. Help!!! BTW, I'm on Windows 7.

I'm getting Error 5002 and I'm betting iTunes is just getting hammered right now.
My attempt to get in before the onslaught failed.
When the crush recedes we may both stop having problems.
edit : Windows 7 may not be the problem here, though Apple still doesn't list it as supported, if you still have iTunes 8 I would just wipe version 9 for now and go back to it.
