A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

  • I have an iPod touch 5 16 gb and I have heard that it has airplay but it not showing up what do I do?

    Hi guys so I have an iPod touch 5 16 gb and I'm very confused? I have heard ipod 5 has airplay but on my iPod touch i don't see like an airplay icon! Please help me because I'm very confused! I know my name is IPOD_GENIUS but I'm not a genius on this though! Lol thanks for the help maybe this can help someone else too!

    If you have both a device that supports AirPlay, and the iPod has Bluetooth turned on, then it should appear in Control Center (swipe up from bottom).
    If you are talking about AirDROP, then in Control Center, the AirDrop button is right below the volume controls. (This AirDrop only works with other iOS 7 devices with AirDrop enabled, not Macs). I have tested this feature, and it works fine.

    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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have an ipod touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that i can get ios 4.3.?

    I have an IPod Touch 3rd generation 8 gb, is there any way besides jailbreaking that I can get IOS 4.3.?

    You do not have a 3rd gen 8Gb iPod Touch. There is no such thing - really, truely, double true, extra double protected true. {lllaass, back me up here}
    Jailbreaking cannot be discussed on Apple forums., except to point you to the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 which will let you know why Apple strongly cautions against "jailbreaking".
    You could sell your current iPod and buy a new one, which will be able to use iOS 5.
    GM:  gross mismanagement
    I suppoose jailbreaking would be a GM!

    They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

    You will need to get it serviced. You need that Sleep/Wake button working to try a Reset.

  • I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo.  What do I need to do?

    This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
    1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
    2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
    3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
    4. Wait and finally you're done!

  • I have an ipod touch the 3rd gen and the screens white and got a crack, i have an ipod touch the 3rd gen and the screens white and got a crack, i have an ipod touch the 3rd gen and the screens white and got a crack

    i have a ipod touch the older verison and one day the screen when white blank i have noticed there is a crack in the top corner when i plug it in at the mains and laptop it charges and the laptop recogrnises that its my ipod just nothing on the screen i took it to a shop and there saying i need az new screen then some are saying its not screen and non fixable has its a 32gb and still expensive would rather get it fixed.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Maybe here:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    I have an imac running 10.6.8, and want to update to Yosemite, but am unable to. What can I do?

    hi alan i run a business on ebay selling photos and negs. i recently installed yosemite and it locked my entire library on iphoto. when i try to download the app to free it from ishop it tells me there is a fault with the app and my  iphoto is frozen. i am basically out of work and finding it very hard to find someone who can help me unlock it.. look at the things being said about this yosemite  locking this.....freezing that... be very careful if you need your business for your livelyhood. the actual performance is really good.....better display ...much faster and well presented but is it worth having parts of your compy put out of action i possibly think not. i am new to this community so hopefully someone reading this may be able to advise us both.....paul
