Reload older versions from iTunes on a computer, or buy a newer device.

Updating software for iPod Touch Model MC086LL
The current software on my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 and I would like to update it to the most recent software or to the 4.3 version at the very least. However, when I click check for software I receive a message indicateing that my software version is uptodate. I know for a fact that it is not the current version. How can I get my iPod Touch to do a software update? I have read and followed the instructions in the iPod manual and some instructions I have found on this site, but I still cannot get the software to update. Some of my apps should be updated including the one I use the most to listen to my ebook.
Thank you in advance for all who answer my request for help.I have no reason to purchase a newer version iPod Touch, I just want to up date my software. There should be a way to do this and I wish I could find out how. A 3 year old device is just not considered old, in my option, and should be able to recieve updates. (F.Y.I., my windows computer is over 7 years old and I can update it's software. If Apple makes you purchase new devices in order to have newer software, then I don't see me buying any more Apple device which is sad as I just purchased an iPad and "love" my iPod Touch.)

This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3. Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working. The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store. Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play. When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped. If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing. Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem. All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files. I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product. However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update. If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.
Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -

Since I am impatient and can't wait for 90 minutes for an answer, I have decided to lose everything on my iPod and try to remember all the songs I had on them. But if anyone can help me prevent this in the future, that woud be great!

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?
Regards,
BruceActually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

I have an Ipod touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOs and it is no longer recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. This means I can not change synch settings - any ideas on what I need to do ?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP -
My ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to tranfer my music and videos to my new conputer without losing the items I didn't purchase from itunes.
Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not backup devices. -

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:

Can't load contacts to ipod touch
My son has an ipod touch, 5th gen with 64 megs of memory. It is new and we are just starting to upload information to it. It appears now, that as you try and upload contacts, it deletes previously stored ones. We haven't been able to get past a contact or two.
I tried the restore from backup and it did not work. I think I'll just wait until iOS6 and watch movies on my IPad. Don't want to do the factory restore if possible.
Any other tips are welcome! -
My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3. Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space. I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB. When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB. Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more. This is really irritating.
The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7. Is there any way to do this?
If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster. Will it do that? The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system.Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It -
I know iPod Touch 3rdGen did not get iOS 6, but why are half my apps no longer compatible?
I just synchronized my iPod Touch 3rd Gen with iTunes and approx half my apps that I purchased or downloaded are no longer compatible with my device. What is up with that? I understand that I will never get iOS6, but I want my purchased apps to keep working.. What the ****?

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be. -
How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?
How can I get a list of apps which are supported on ipod touch model ma623zo?
It's about 6 years old I think.
I have put the latest IOS on there (currently 3.1.3 (7E18)).
I download apps from the app store but they often fail to launch. I assume they're incompatible.
Is there a way to check which apps will work and which won't before I buy them?
Thanks!I have no idea how my reply could be "misleading". I stated the exact situation: there are millions of apps in the iTunes Store, and providing a comprehensive, accurate list of which apps support which version(s) of iOS would be highly impractical. You can perhaps help with your search by going to AppShopper:
http://appshopper.com/search/?search=iOS+3
That will give you at least some starting points, but AppShopper is neither comprehensive nor completely accurate. I've found a number of apps listed there over the time the site has existed that either are no longer offered or which have been updated beyond the iOS version indicated. But it might help.
Regards.
