Ipad won't update past IOS 4.2
When iPad (first gen.) is hooked up to itunes and try to update it says IOS 4.2 is the current version. When we try to restore ipad, we get 'there was a problem downloading the software for the ipad. The requested resource was not found.' Running the latest itunes and Lion. Have tried the ipad on two different macs with same results. Pretty well stuck. Please help!
It just says that it has the most up-to-date software. From what I can tell, when they originally released the 3rd generation iPod Touch, the 16 gb one still used the 2nd generation hardware. At the time, it was still called 3rd generation. As recently as last summer when iOS 4 was released, it was still refered to as 3rd generation (the iOS 4 release information had asterisks on the 3rd gen iPod Touch to say that various features like multitasking wouldn't work with the 16 gb model). Now Apple seems to have retroactively decided to just call it 2nd generation. I'm not very happy since it was sold to me as 3rd generation...

If you have an iPad 1 (no cameras), it can not be updated beyond 5.1.1.

I had to restore my iPod when I bought a new computer and it won't update the IOS. iTunes tells me it is up-to-date, but all the apps say I need IOS 5. How can I update this? Thanks
If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.
Update to IOS 5 or higher

IPod Touch Won't Update Past iOS 4.2.1
I have a 16gb, 3rd generation iPod Touch (purchased September, 2009) that will not update past iOS 4.2.1. I know that the 16gb 3rd gen model didn't get all of the iOS 4 features that the rest of the 3rd gen models did, but I can't find anything on the Apple page about 4.3 that would indicate that some subset of the 3rd gen iTouches would be unable to get the update. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes version 10.2.2.12. Any ideas what's going on?

IPod Touch (4th Gen) Won't Update Past iOS 6.1.6
I have an iPod Touch (4th Generation). I'm trying to connect to Family Share but it needs to be updated to iOS 8. My iPod is saying it's up-to-date at iOS 6.1.6.
I have tried updating directly from the iPod (Settings > General > Software Updates) and I've also connected it to my Mac OS X Yosemite / iTunes 12.01.126 with no luck. Nothing is recognizing that this device needs to be updated.
How can I update this iPod to iOS 8?iOS 7 or iOS 8 isn't compatible with iPod Touch 4G

Will the 1st generation Ipad take updates past ios 5.1.1? I have not been able to update to ios 6.
5.1.1 is the highest for the first generation iPad.

My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes. Help!!!!!!5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

My iPod 3rd gen won't update past 4.2.1
As stated, my 3rd gen iPod won't update past 4.2.1, is this the cap for iOS on 3rd gen, or can it go higher?
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?
Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?
It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself. -
My wifi keeps cutting out on my 1st gen iPad since I updated to iOS 5.0... It's never done this before. The wifi is working fine on my other devices. Not really sure what to do.

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!
My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!
I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

My iPad won't update iOS 7.0.4 software saying it is unable to verify because it can 't connect to the Internet and to try again later. It doesn't display an error message number. Obviously I can connect otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.
You didn't specify which way you are trying to update - using the Software Update setting on the iPad or by using iTunes. I will assume that you are using iTunes because the kb article that linkd you to here was the one about iTunes error codes.
Quit iTunes, reset your iPad, restart your computer and try again. Disable your firewall and antivirus software of you are using it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
"HT4199: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points"
this still didn't fix iPad connectivity after updating to iOS 6.0.1 !!! intermittent wi-fi connection, even with a direct line-of-sight to the router.Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
