Ipad 4th gen will not upgrade from v 6.1.6 to 8, have current update on Itunes

I have a 4th generation touch which will not upgrade. I did all the steps I could find, but have not done a reset. I have a current v of Itunes on my laptop which is on a windows operating system. I can down load apps and there is no problem in recognizing my account. I can not upgrade some of my apps because my ipad is not up on its version. Anyone know how to fix this?

The fourth generation iPod touch can't be updated past 6.1.6; iOS 7 requires at least 512MB of RAM, and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor.

    I've restarted my iPad, there are no available updates that I am aware of.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • IPad 4th gen will not connect to some wireless networks

    My iPad 4th generation will not connect to some wifi ssid's.  My iphone connects and my wife's iPad mini connects just fine.  Some wifi'so always connect and others do not.  I notice it often in hotels.  I also have two wireless routers at home.  One connects fine.  The other only connects via 5g broadcast, not on normal ssid broadcast, yet all other devices can connect just fine.  Is this a hardware issue? Or some sort of setting?
    I have tried every fix I have read online:
    reset network settings
    toggled airplane mode
    toggled wifi button
    rebooted
    ineven reset my iPad to factory condition and reloaded everything from backup

  • IPad 4th Gen will not access gmail/error message regarding password

    iPad 4th Gen,32GB, iOS8.1 suddenly giving error message of incorrect user name or password when trying push emails.  Steps tried so far:
    unlocked gmail account via Safari browser
    changed from fetch to push and back
    checked stmp info and turned on SSL
    rebooted iPad
    deleted gmail account
    attempted to load gmail account
    Any other fixes to try?  Problem just suddenly happened this afternoon.  Been working just fine, even after downloading iOS 8.1 over 24 hours ago.  Problem has only existed for about 6 hours.  Had exact problem with iPhone 6, 64GB, iOS 8.1 at the same time but unlocking gmail account via Safari resolved the problem on the iPhone 6.  All other apps on both devices working perfectly.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

    My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

  • New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import

    my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes

    I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.  Select it there.  The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right.  There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there.  Is that setting currently checked or not checked? 
    If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually.  It does not use automatic syncing to update content.  This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
    To add songs manually...  Show a song list in iTunes.  For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list.  Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar.  You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import."  Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
    To remove songs manually...  Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with more than one song selected.
    NOTE:  If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing.  Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings.  When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library.

  • Ive tried multiple times on my computer and my internet is fast and perfect but my ipod touch 4th gen will not get past "backing up ipod" it sits there of course itunes 10.5 any solutions ive heard lots of people are having this problem across the board

    My ipod touch 4th gen will not update to IOS5 i believe the problem is itunes10.5
    ive been trying to update since friday my internet is perfect [speedtest.net] itunes just wont get past [backing up ipod[ i hope they fix this soon and i just wanted to see if anybody else was also having this problem because i want the new features coming with ios but its just not working and it took all night just to get roughly to about 20% completion of backing up ipod then when i got home it said "could not restore ipod its still on firmware 4.3.3 so i dont know why it said could not restore i did click "update" but anyway im having this problem and wondering if anyone else is {i think everybodys having problems itunes10.5 right now

    I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2.  I am running Windows XP.
    I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
    I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.  
    I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
    One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files.  I'm trying that now.  4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

  • My Ipod 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    My ipod nano 4th gen will not work without the charger.

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.

  • The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

    The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrintin​g

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
    Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
    Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
    When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
    (Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
    And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
    I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
    Device Configuration show this:
    Installed Personalities and Options
    PCL6           (20040201)
    AirPrint
    PCL              (20040201)
    PDF              (20040201)
    PS                 (20040201)
    I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this  might mean)

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
    Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
    Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are  connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
    I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN,  both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
    My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
    Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
    I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
    Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.
