IPod touch Gen3 cannot download apps that requires iOS5.

but when im going to update the software of the iPod the error 3194 or unknown error occur. i read the apple support instruction but for me it was so complicated. is there any simplified way to resolve this problem? thank you

Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1. If you try to install an latter version you will get the that error.
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.

The app store on my brand new ipod touch offers me majority apps that cannot be used on my software. how do i find apps that will work with 6.1.5? this is frustrating, especially when purchased brand new.

Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?

Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3? After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios. How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?

iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

Is there a way to download apps that require ios 7 on my ios 6 iPod Touch?

So I came across this forum as many others, just trying to find some answers as to why I can't or how I could get ios 7 on my 4th gen ipod touch... So I guess the answer is no, not possible and I suppose I can understand the reason as someone stated in another thread that it is because Apple does not want their users to have a bad experience and the 4th gen does not have the CPU nor the Ram for it to provide a usable and good experience... which leads me to the root of the problem. Read on...
You see, I don't really care about ios 7 and any of its features, what I do care about is that I can no longer download some apps now because there is this popup that tells me that the app only supports ios 7 and I need to update my device to the latest software, ios 7. So how then is my Apple experience, a positive experience if I am no longer allowed to download apps that I could before the ios 7 update even existed? a
Perhaps I'm wrong? Maybe there is a way for me to download and still use these apps. If that is the case, I would love to learn how.
Honestly, this is something that really makes me nervous as I am strongly considering switching from Android (After years of Apple hating) to my first Apple iPhone. But I would really hate to get me an iPhone 5s, only to find out that in a year I could no longer download apps because a new update will not work on my phone? Is that a possibility?

Well, no. It's because that the iPod 4th Gen has iOS 6 and the apps need iOS 7. I suggest that you get the new iPod 5 because it has iOS 7. Also the iPod 4 does not have enough CPU or RAM. The new iPod 5 has enough CPU and RAM to store iOS 7 apps.
Thanks!

TS1702 Ipod touch wont run some apps,that previously ran, after a restore

have an ipod touch, running software version 3.1.3, which according to itunes software update is the latest version for my ipod. so why is it that after i had to restore my ipod and re installl apps, some of the apps say i dont have the right software? apps like yahoo, and ebay, that worked ok before i had to restore my ipad.

What happens when you try to resync them back over to your iPod Touch? Perhaps they were recently updated to a newer version and now require a later version of iOS than what is supported by your iPod Touch. If that is the case, you'll need to restore the old apps if possible. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 3.1.3.

HT4623 I want to install an app that requires iOS5 and my iphone is 4.2.6 How do I Update my software for my iphone 4?

I want to install an app that requires iOS 5 update. How do I update the software on my phone when I do not have the icon in settings for update software? Please help!

Connect your iPhone to iTunes, and find Software Update in the main interface pane. It should prompt you to install iOS 5.1.1.

HT1937 IPOD Touch. Cannot download games

I just received an IPOD touch and when I try to download a game it says "You are not a member of the administrator group". I already have a login and password with ITUNES and I set up a login name on the IPOD itself. What do I have to do?

even though it is a free app it still needs a credit card number and in specific the pin number of the card and it might say billing info is required to complete purchase of app but it will not charge you anything but for some reason it is required (on the ipod touch using wifi not through the app store on your computer) if you are having the problem in the app store on your computer and if lets say it downloads on the computer but wont sync to ipod its because it is not registered on that computer or itunes account and so you will have to get it through wifi on your ipod touch in the app store app (on the app store on your computer not using wifi)
hope this helps

A second generation iPod touch can't be updated past iOS 4.2.1 or run applications which require iOS 4.3 or newer. Unless you have older versions of them on a computer or in a backup, you can't use them on it.

I have a really old ipod and do not have a credit card for my apple ID. How do I get past doing so without using apps, since I have an ipod where you cannot download apps.

I am trying to create a new apple ID. And I do not yet have a credit card. So I would like to know how I can make this apple ID without having to worry about having credit card information. My ipod is the big one where you cannot even download apps onto it yet. Please help.

You don't need an Apple ID to use a "classic" iPod. You only need a computer (Mac or PC) that can run iTunes. If your iPod is older, your computer does not even need to run the latest version of iTunes. You can add songs to your iTunes library from music CDs, and song files you have already. Then sync the iPod to that iTunes library.
An Apple ID only comes into play, if you want to buy and download songs (and other media) from the iTunes Store. This document describes how to create an Apple ID without a credit card

If you are using the same user account on your computer that may be the problem. The iTunes settings will be different for each user account.

HT4623 Twice I have connected my IPad to my computer and requested the upgrade to IOS 5.01 and twice I have not for some reason received the upgrade. What is going on and what am I doing wrong? I can't get some Olympic apps that require it.

I do not seem to be upgrading to IOS 5.01 correctly - twice I have connected to my computer and received notification that all current upgrades are being added but when I try to download apps that require 5.01 I am told that I do not have a system that is upgraded for this. What is the problem and how do I remedy it?

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
