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
you have the latest version available

My iPod touch 3rd gen won't update to iOS 5

iTunes keeps displaying the message saying that I have the latest update. I have iTunes 10.5 installed and everything, it's just that the iOS update won't come through. I currently have iOS 4.2 on my iPod. Any help is appreciated.

If your iPod Touch is 8GB than it is actually a 2nd gen and the highest it can go is iOS level 4.2.1.

IPod touch 4th Gen will not update to iOS 4.3.3. How can i fix this?

I have an ipod 4th generation and i want to update to ios 4.3.3. Every time i try to install the update itunes gives an error saying " iPod could not be updated and that the device isn't eligible for the requested build. This is a new ipod and i had to send it in for repair once because the wake button stopped working. Ever since i received my ipod back i had the problem of not being able to update to iOS 4.3.3. I've tried the suggestions on the help section but none of them worked. How can i fix it so that i can update.? Thank you all in advance

Sync via the manual method. Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

Ipod touch 4th gen won't sync or download podcasts

Hi, all! I get that the ipod touch 4th gen won't update to ios7, but this has made podcasts unusable I'm unable to download new podcasts or sync them to my computer because I'm told the podcast app isn't updated. Is there anything I can do or do I basically have an unusable ipod where podcasts are concerned?

Why happens when you install the last compatible version of the podcast app and sync?
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

My Ipod touch 4th gen won't appear in my Itunes, help me?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't appear in my Itunes. I have the updated itunes and I can play music from Itunes. My ipod says it's charging but again won't appear in Itunes for me to sync music to it.

Here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

My Ipod touch 4th gen is not updating.

My Ipod touch 4th gen is not updating. I've tried the standard upgrade procedures. It is also not recognized by my pc (when connected to a pc it does not even show a device is connected) The last update was 4.3.3 any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the dock
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup, yes again

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!
