  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I have model a1367, 8gb, 4th generation ipod touch.  how do I update it from ios 4.2.1 to 6 or more?

    i have model a1367, 8gb, 4th generation ipod touch.  how do I update it from ios 4.2.1 to 6 or more?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

    what if i have and ipod touch 4th generation will i still get the iOS 7 update?

    No. The iPod 4 gen is below the cutoff for iOS7
    So it will not be able to upgrade to it

  • When connecting my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update software, the software downloads to my laptop but when it goes to install I get an error message that says network timed out.  Any advice here please?

    For the past 2-3 months everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update the software through itunes I have issues.  I have tried download and install option and the download only option.  When the progress bar gets to 100 % downloading and switches to start to install I get an error message that says something like connection issue/timed out/network something.  My internet is working so what am I doing wrong when I didn't used to have this problem?

    I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

  • Hi, i need help, okay..my issues is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music lihow can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

    Hi, i need help, okay..my issue is that since the lastest update for the ipod touch, my music list is all over the place....my question is how can i get the itunes main music playlist to appear the same on my ipod touch?

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen is not updating to the latest software, iTunes keeps saying that there was a problem connecting to the update server...

    I don't think I ever registered my 3rd gen iPod. I was never able to update it past its original software because iTunes could never recognize it. Unfortunately, my wife had installed data on it (old & recently purchased) so I've been very hesitant to "Restore" it. I recently plugged it into my laptop & it prompted me to install the iOS 5.0.1 software, but after multiple attempts to do so iTunes keeps giving me the same error message "update  install failed. Connection to the update software server has timed out". How do I update the software without losing all my wife's data?

    If you already have iOS5.0, Go to settings-general-software update, scroll to the bottom and hit download and install and this should update it without the computer. Then when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it should say 5.0.1. If this doesn't work, DON'T ERASE IT. Just bring it in to Apple. I had the same issue trying to update to 5.0.  and eventually I got it to work after waiting for a little while. Good luck!

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation. When I plug the USB into the computer, the iPod does not recognize the charge and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. Please help.

    The computer I am referring to is a Windows. However, when I use the same USB cord and plug it into a MacBook Pro, the ipod is recognized and the ipod recognizes the computer. Also, it gets charge from the Wall outlet as well.

    empire_of_the_sun, the link you provided ois for other model iPods, not the iPod touch. You article refers you to:
    If you have an iPod touch, see iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.

  • My Ipod touch (first generation) won't update to the latest software.

    Hi, my ipod touch (first generation) still has the version 2 software and wont update to the 3? Everytime i plug my ipod into my computer, itunes keeps telling me it has the latest version, when obviously it doesnt. How can i update it? Because it wont update i cant download any applications. The internet and music and everything else works except i cant download apps.
    is it my itunes or the actual ipod? should i reinstall itunes? my itunes is up to date: 10.1.1
    Thank you.

    There is no other way to obtain the iOS 3.1 update, but it is available in the Irish iTunes Store; I'm looking at it right now (it's 3,99 Euros), and accessed it from the page I referenced above (both from a Mac and from Windows using both IE and Firefox). If it's coming up and saying that you need iTunes, something's amiss with how iTunes is installed on your system, or with your web browser; you might try a different browser.

  • Netflix iPod Touch 1 st Gen Can't Download The App!!!!!

    I bought 2 iPod Touch 1 st Generation products back in November of 2011 for chirstmas presents. I downloaded Netflix to these devices and it worked great! Then on christmas morning kids opened the devices and started using them and the devices said netflix required an update! After the update the netflix app stoped working and when I deleted it and tried to redownload it no dice! The app now says requires ios 4.0!
    - Apple you should look at getting a form of 4.0 for 1 st gen iPod Touch
    - Netflix you should definatly develop an app that works on 3.1.3 if Apple maintains devices that can't update to versions of ios past 3.1.3 then Netflix you need an app that works on these devices!

    Apple you should look at getting a form of 4.0 for 1 st gen iPod Touch
    Not going to happen, not for a device that Apple discontinued well over three years ago. It's probable that the hardware in the first-gen iPod touch can't support the newer OS, though I can't say with any certainty. The chances of Apple providing such a version, though, even if the hardware could, is nil.
    Netflix you should definatly develop an app that works on 3.1.3 if Apple maintains devices that can't update to versions of ios past 3.1.3 then Netflix you need an app that works on these devices!
    It's highly doubtful that Netflix would read a post made here. You can submit comments to them via their own contacts:
