I have a iPod touch iOS 2.2 it says it can be updated to 4.2.1 I have tried everything help?

Why does it say that my iPod iOS 2.2 can be updated to a 4.2.1 iOS ? I have tried everything.

You'll need to use iTunes to update it.

  • I have an IPOD Touch IOS 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to 5.  How do I do that?

    I have an IPOD Touch IOS 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to 5. How do I do that?  Can't download an app for audio books.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware
    The maximum iOS version for the iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch is 6.1.5.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

    i have an ipod touch, an ipad and an i phone, can i use the same apple id without texts and apps showing up on every device. 

    Yes. Go to your iCloud settings on each device and configure what you do and do not want showing up on each device.
    Go to Settings>iCloud as well as Settings>iTunes & App Stores

  • TS1538 I have an iPod Touch IOS 4.2.1 that Windows 7 home premium can't see.  Says there's a driver problem.  My other one with IOS 5.1.1 works on the same cable and computer. I don't know where to go.

    I have an iPod Touch with 4.2.1 that won't connect to my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.  It gives a "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to a USB port.  My wife's (newer) iPod Touch with IOS 5.1.1 works just fine with no errors.  I'm using the same port - I just moved the cable from one iPod to the other. I've tried the various different drivers using Update Drivers.  I let it search the internet and it says "The best driver software is already installed", but the device shows as "Unknown Device".  I did the browse my computer, unchecked the "Show compatible hardware", and selected Apple, Inc..  There were two Apple iPod USB Drivers.  One was 6.0.9999.53 and the other was 6.0.9999.61.  Neither of these works.  I'm thinking that the maybe I need to upgrade the iPod touch software version - but I don't know how to get to it.  Can this be loaded over WiFi?  Any other ideas?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Does it charge when connect to the computer?
    Does it appear in My Computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I have an ipod touch already linked to computer, i want to add another using same email details. i have set up new ipod and it has excatly same  music etc as 1st ipod how can i use 1 account but 2 differnt ipods? many thanks.

    i   have an ipod touch linked to laptop, i now want to add another ipod touch how do i do it using same email etc, but dont want the same apps etc as the first ipod. as it is now i have exactly the same stuff on both ipods. please help.

    It's a snap.  Each device has its own name.  If iTunes does not assign unique names for the two iPods, change one of the names yourself.  You can see both my iPad and my iPod simultaneously on my iTunes because I sync wirelessly. 
    Simply configure the sync characteristics for each device separately.  The iTunes software will know the one with which it's communicating.

    Hey Babetta94,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.
