I want to update my ipod touch so i can use mobile me but...

My Itunes wants to force me to sync the Ipod Touch when all I want to do is update the Ipod Touch to the latest software to use MobileMe. I have an IPod nano that I don't want to wipe clean just to get this done. There's got to be a way. Do I have to create a second Itunes account? If so, how do I do that? Help!

You can sync more than one iPod with iTunes, there is no need to create another account.

    I suspect you have the original (first generation, 1G iPod those can only go to iOS 3.1.3, If your iPod does not have an internal speaker and no volume buttons on upper left edge it is a 1G.
    Otherwise:

  • I want to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3

    I have looked at many video tutorials on how to update my ipod 3rd gen to ios 4.3 But when i click check for updates it say its fully updated but only with 4.2, i dont know why this is happening my ipod has 8gb of memory and i have installed itunes correctly.?

    Unfortunately your iPod is really a 2nd generation unit and can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. Apple did not make an 8gB 3rd generation iPod Touch.

  • I updated my ipod touch and now it won't work but itunes says everything is fine. What should I do?

    I was updating my itouch that I got in September to the IOS 5 and everything went fine until the end of the update when it was creating a new back-up of the information on the itouch. When I saw that it didn't work and it told me to restore the previous bakc-up I tried that, but nothing happened. Itunes was doing a lot of work but my ipod touch didn't show that anything was happening. My ipod touch wants me to go back through the set up and when it gets to the part where you can restore a previous back-up I tell it to do that. The problem then is that it tells you to connect it to itunes and I do but the itouch doesn't seem to realize that it is plugged into itunes. Then I try to restore the old back-up form itunes and it immeadiately pops up saying htat it can't because of error: ipod (-50).

    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Error 50: This error (and error -50) are timeout errors. Follow the steps for errors 13 or 14 above.
