I can't upgrade ipod touch from ios4.0 to 4.0.1

hello, I have a 3G ipod touch with ios4.0, but I can not upgrade to 4.0.1.
I have the latest version of itunes (9.2.1.4) and when I do the update software tells me that the current version (4.0) is the latest available for my ipod.
*what I can do?*

The iOS 4.0.1 Software is for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G.
The update improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display on.

Can't upgrade ipod touch to ios 5 beta 2?

Hi everyone! I recently tried to upgrade my firmware from ios 5 beta 1 to ios 5 beta 2 (I have a developer account, paid the $99 and everything).
The upgrade to beta 1 from 4.3.3 was pretty much flawless. When I tried to upgrade to ios 5 beta 2, it seemed to work until the last step, at which point the ipod touch was off and could not be turned on. When connected to a computer, it said it was stuck in recovery mode. I couldn't switch my firmware in Organizer any more, not even back to beta 1.
I restored down to 4.3.3 again cause I figured it would wipe the whole thing and let me upgrade back to beta 1 at least. That much worked, I have an ipod with 4.3.3 on it.
Now when I try to upgrade back UP to beta 2 or even beta 1 again, I get this error: "Could not allocate buffer (file exists)" and the ipod goes back into recovery mode, and I must again restore down to 4.3.3.
What file is this, how can I delete it, and how can I upgrade again to beta 2? This ought to be the last time I need to upgrade with a wired connection, since all updates from Beta 2 onwards are OTA as far as I know.
I was quite fearful of "bricking", but a friend who is far more familiar with the inner workings of the ipod touch than I am has assured me that since the computer detected it in recovery mode, it wasn't a lost cause.
I was originally attempting the install from a slightly older version of Xcode, which is probably the root cause of this problem and I am now kicking myself.
Thanks for the help!

Can't update iPod touch from Russia

Hello,
I have bought iPod touch today. I have receipt and guarantee.
But I can't upgrade firmware (2.0) because I can't create account in iTunes Store.
iTunes store registration returns "An Error occurred. The iTunes Store could not process your request, please try again later".
I am receiving this message 2 hours.
Could anyone help my or explain me what happens?
Best regards,
Alexander

I feel fortunate that I'd not bought the Touch yesterday as I'd planned. Even though the Mexican Apple site links to the download for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the link simply opens the USA iTunes store, which then notifies me that purchases through iTunes are unavailable in my country.
So, I guess I'll not buy an iPod Touch. I'm still researching this, though, for one dealer I talked with acted as if the iPod Touch was upgradable. Very disappointing.

Upgrade iPod touch from 3.1.3 to 4.2

Hey everyone!
Sorry this is my first post here, and I'm not super computer savvy, so pardon me if I'm a little slow at figuring this out.
I'd like to update my ipod touch to the newest software, however, reading around the forums I heard it deletes the music off of the ipod. The songs I have on the ipod are on two seperate computers, just because when I first got the ipod I was living with my parents, so there are songs on their computer that I don't have on my home computer. Most of them are from CDs I own so I never bothered backing them up.
I was just wondering, if I update the ipod from my home computer, it will probably only put the songs back on that are on my home computer, right? Would I be able to, after updateing the ipod, sync it again with my parents' computer and have the songs on there pop back on too (and go back to the playlists I had them on and all that)? Or will I have to put them on again as new and sort them onto the playlists I would like them on?
Thanks for your help

Of course not.
Most never have any issue with any update.

HT4972 Can I update iPod touch from ios 4.2.1 to latest SW version?

iTunes show "this version of the iPod software (4.2.1)is the current version". Is that mean Ipod touch can't update iOS to higher version?

On that iPod touch model, yes.

Can I downgrade the software on my iPod touch from 4.2.1 to 4.1

I recently upgraded the software on my 4th generation iPod touch from 4.1 to 4.2.1. Since then I can not use it in my car, the iPod is marked as unreadable. I wish to go back to my previous version of 4.1. Is this possible? I have sync'ed my iPod multiple times since then so I don't think that I have a backup that I can go back to.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anybody could give.
Thank you

I'm sort of in the same position. My iPod been playing up today, so plugged it into my work computer running Windows 7, updated the software thinking this would fix the problem, little did I realise iTunes would wipe all my songs off it - no warning of such a thing, AND I took a back-up. Restored the back up and still nothing.
So I plug the iPod into my personal laptop thats got all my music on, and now, because its on iOS 4.2, iTunes 9.2.1 on my Mac wont recognise the iPod. So, I go to update that version of iTunes to 10.1 - but 'cus I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11 I cant have iTunes 10.1 - so basically I'm screwed.
I've been trawling the net for about 2 hours now trying to find ways of downgrading the software, and all I seem to be able to find out is that there is no 'legal' way of doing so.
I'm generally a big fan of Apple, but tonight has been an eye opener to their money spinning ways - the only option I can see right now, is to update my OS on my Mac - not looked yet, but I'm guessing not cheap.
Any help on getting my software back to 4.1 greatly appreciated as I've got a fairly recent iPod backup file on my Mac (which should work so long as I can get iTunes 9.2.1 to recognise the iPod).

IPod touch 2G iOS4 can't connect to iTunes or App Store

Since updating my 2G iPod touch to iOS4, I have been unable to connect to iTunes or the App Store. The device can connect to my wifi and Safari works, albeit significantly slower than before, but when I try connecting to either iTunes or the App Store, all that appears is the word 'loading'.
None of the settings on my router have changed from before the update and I have tried rebooting, restoring the device and the router but nothing has worked.
I have not been able to confirm whether this happens on a different wifi network as of yet but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same problems.

I've having a problem connecting to Itunes or the App Store from my Ipod Touch. I have a good wifi connection and am able to access webpages thru safari but when I try to go to Itunes it won't connect. I went to the settings>Store>tap sign in and entered my itunes sign-on info but it tells me it can't connect. In reading some of the help topics it says when you go into Store it should automatically show your account name after syncing with Itunes on your computer but mine doesn't show that. It just says not signed in.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I try to update my iPod touch to iOS4.3 I'm told to go to Devices in iTunes, then Summary. I can't find Summary.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

Are you sure you don't actually have a 1G iPod Touch? See this article to help you determine what generation it is.

If it's truly a 1G iPod Touch, you can only upgrade to iOS 3.1 using this link to purchase the update.

Otherwise, if you do have a 2G iPod Touch, make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes.

Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

Yes. See bold below
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.

Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?
