Ipod touch did not upgrade to ios5. Why?

iTunes was upgraded to version 10.5 on my personal computer. I connected my iPod touch 3rd generation to it in order to upgrade it to ios5. My iPod indicated a sync was in progress but after 3 hours, it still had not completed the download. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? I checked my iPod and verified that the latest version was not downloaded.

Ty a manual download and install as specified here:

Ipod touch did not prompt to enter apple id password when installing an application.

I tried to do a restore and tried using creating another apple id. But still the ipod touch did not prompt me to enter apple id password and immediately proceed to install the application. How to solve this? Please help .....

Hi,
Yes. I tried to install another application within 10-15mins. Thanks for enlightening me as I'm new to Apply products. Feeling kind of silly that I did not really read up the user guide. Thanks for your advise.

Brand new iPod touch did not come with iOS 8

Just got a new 16 GB 5th Generation iPod touch. Not only does it not have iOS 8, I cannot get it to update from 7.1.2. Why is Apple advertising the latest iOS on these devices but selling them with an older operating system? Did they actually sell me an older iPod?

iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014. It is possible that you got one that was manufactured prior to that time. They don't go back and unbox them all and upgrade them. Similar thing happened to me with a MacBook Air that I bought shortly after an operating system was released. It should however be easily updated. You may be able to get help with that issue here or from Apple support or return it if still in the return period.

Recently purchased iPod Touch did not come with current firmware

I have just received my 32GB iPod touch from china but it did not come with the 3.0 update.
Why do I have to pay for an update that was released over a month before I bought the iPod from Apple?
Also, iTunes will not stop bothering me about updating to 3.0. Every time I open iTunes, a popup dialog come up asking me if I want to update the iPod Touch to 3.0.
I would love to update but I refuse to pay for an update that's over a month old.

Well, 3.0 really isn't an update as much as it is a new accessory for your Touch. It may seem like it should be an update, but it introduces many new features. If all it did was fix some errors it would be an update, but this is an entirely new release, hence the $10 charge. Trust me, you're not alone in expecting a new Touch to come with 3.0, but the reality is that this is how Apple's done this in the past (when 2.0 came out, the 1st generation Touches did not come with it -- only the 2nd generation ones did). iPhone users get 3.0 for free, but in reality that is a perk that Apple gives them for paying a monthly access fee. My guess is that 3.x won't come with a brand new Touch until the next generation is introduced.
As far as the incessant "do you wanna buy 3.0" message, that may eventually go away if you decline it enough times.

My ipod touch will not update to ios5

Hi I have a Ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb.
I want to update it to IOS5 but when i click check for updates in Itunes it sais you have 4.2.1.
I looked at other disscusions and it said they have 2nd generation but im positive I have 3rd before buying it i looked everywhere and got this ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb. I would pull up my order history but the history is 18 months and I think i got this a year ago.
and some people were talking about codes on the back mine is 579c-a1288
What im saying is can someone clear this up because its confusing. and if i bought a 3rd did they rip me of and give me a 2nd?

No - you are wrong!
Do a search of these discussion and also look on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for the 3rd gen Touch. It came in 32GB and 64GB models ONLY!
... and no, I am not mad.

IPod touch will not upgrade to i os 5

Is anyone having trouble updating their iPod Touch OS to i OS 5? I am not being prompted to for my 4thGen iPod Touch to update the OS (like I did for the iPhone and iPad).

1. Simply quit out of iTunes, then relaunch the app, and try syncing again. Sometimes this works.
If syncing now works but no content, music, apps, or movies is moving over to iPod, under the “Summary” tab, check if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled or not, if it is then try toggling it off and on again then manually drag a song or movie over to the iOS device to force manual syncing.
2. If the first way fails, you may simply need to re-authorize iTunes & the computer.
Open iTunes with the iOS device attached to the computer through USB
Pull down the “Store” menu and choose "Deauthorize This Computer"
Now go back to the Store menu and choose "Authorize This Computer"
Fill in the Apple ID and password information, then choose "Authorize"

My Ipod Touch did not show the charging icon when it is in off position

Hello,
It is my new one I just got it on Sunday. I wonder if this device is something wrong? It seems not charge when I shut if off. Need advise about this problem.
However it charges when I turn it on,obviously it shows charging icon on the screen.

There is no reason to turn it off - ie. hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider and turn it off type of off. Sleep works just fine and, it will charge and/or sync when in sleep mode.

My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

Why is my Ipod Touch 4g not registering in iTunes?

I just bought an iPod Touch 4g on Ebay. I've tried all the troubleshooting in the instructions, downloaded the latest iTunes, the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps saying I have no internet connection. I don't have a router or wifi at home, so I just have it plugged into the computer with the USB. The iPod turns on, I get all the little icons, but when I click on something it says "...can not open the page because your iPod Touch is not connected to the Internet". When I go into iTunes, my device is not showing up. I used to have an Ipod and had no trouble doing any of this before. I sold that one, and got this one, and I would think it would work the same way, but it's not. Help!! Thank you!

Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?

iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
