I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated.  Am I just SOL??

    The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

  • Downloading iPod touch software for restore

    My daughter's iPod touch has gone into restore mode. In order to download the software update and restore, must the iPod be connected to the computer and iTunes account with which it will be used? The reason I ask is that we unfortunately still have dial-up connection and downloading the software update is taking 30+ hours, and is disconnecting before it is complete. So, could she restore her iPod on a friends computer/iTunes account who has a broadband connection, then still be able to connect and use with our computer and iTunes account? Thanks for any advice.

    I think you can log into your iTunes account on the other computer and do the restore that way.

  • Why cant my ipod touch update to ios7

    Why can't I upgrade to ups7 on my iPod touch 4?

    Because it doesn't have enough RAM. iOS 7 requires 512MB.

  • Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation)

    Hi I just got and ipod touch 1st gen and the version it has is 2.2.1 but I can't download any apps
    what can I do?

    I don't think an 8GB 2nd-generation iPod touch would be worth $100, though, since it can't run the most recent versions of iOS nor many apps. You can get a new 8GB fourth-generation iPod touch for $179 (from places like Amazon, or from Apple after the 10% credit they'd give you for recyling that broken 2nd-gen unit), and used ones for as little as $130 (or perhaps less from private sellers). 3rd-gen iPods (32GB and 64GB) probably can be found for around that price as well. So it might be a better use of your funds to put the $100 toward a more recent iPod touch.
    Worth thinking about, anyway.
    Regards.

    What did the error message say?
    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.

  • How to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
    I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
    people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
    possible??

    4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
    3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

  • Hi! I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    I download the new update for my iPod on my pc but now it's stuck on the recovery mode! No jailbreak. I don't want to restore it because I'll loose all of my photos... HELP

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

    Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
    When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
    However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
    I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
    Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
    Thanks in advance.
