IOS 6 is not showing up to download to my 3rd iPod touch

I have plugged my iPod into iTunes on my computer and when I click Check For Update it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version." Also, under the general settings on my iPod there is not Sophware Update shown. Please help!

Ios 5 is available for 3rd and 4th gen.
ios 6 is for 4th and 5th
You probably have a second gen:

  • IOS 8:  spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets

    hi
    running 8.0.2.
    iOS 8:  spotlight not showing wikipedia result snippets.
    it does show the static Search Wikipedia link however.
    how to get the spotlight search snippets of wikipedia to show, as advertised?
    thanks

    Turn Spotlight Suggestions on and off a few times. If it still doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.
    I'm using a iPad but I can't see that making a difference.

  • I bought the season 7 pass for Doctor Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download.  Who can I contact to find out why?

    I bought the season 7 pass for Doctore Who, but the new episodes are not showing up for download.  I've been all over the support page, I even looked up my purchase history and there is are none showing and I even bought last weeks episode, The Bell's of St. John.   Who can I contact to find out why I'm not getting the rest of season 7 for download?
    Thanks,

    Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale.  However, Apple states all sales are final.
    Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software.  They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
    Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
    Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed.  Apple is the cashier.  You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin.  Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains.  Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

    You need to restore.
    Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

  • HT4436 I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same.

    I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

    You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher.  You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes.  Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline.  Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library.  Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
    When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer.  At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier.  Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
    This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

  • My iTunes won't download music to my iPod Touch 5th Generation

    I just recently bought some CD's, and I have found that my iTunes program won't let me download them to my iPod. I believe I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I have a Windows Vista... I don't know if it's because I updated to the newest iTunes version(12.0.1) and the latest ios for my iPod, but I've never had the problem of not being able to download songs to my iPod before... When I try to move the songs from my iTunes to my iPod, there is a blue highlight around my playlists, but not around my iPod... On iTunes, I do have the option to "manually manage music and videos" checked off. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! (And I don't know what this is, I've tried to fix it but it still comes up, there is an error message when I start iTunes that says "iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?" Could someone please help me with this as well?)

    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do the songs play in iTunes on the computer?

  • Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

    doesn't download videos
    I seen so many of these post for windows users.
    Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
    Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
    After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
      iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer 
    After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files. 
    Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
    You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
    You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes. 
    Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
    HOPE THIS HELPS.
