Very easy. Make sure you have a fat battery charge, good Wifi, like at home- not a coffee shop! Go into Settings which is that box full of gears and the phone should be asking to update. You have Internet switched on, right? Tap the button and let it rip!
I've always updated by Wifi. Even installed iOS 6 that way on a 3GS. It's easy. Apple stuff does archival installs and reinstalls, meaning your files aren't disturbed. BUT! Set up that iCloud backup. Now. Don't tempt fate. I had my battered 3GS stolen last week and it was traumatic! iCloud restored98% of my data and the lost stuff is buried in iTunes; Nobody told me I could go to iCloud.com and check my backups. And I asked around Apple. But 4 and 5 iPhones are better and there's a manual backup button to get on the web and be sure it's all uploaded.
I prefer iCloud to iTunes, but two backups never hurt! And you need Tunes to offload and on load stuff.
Hope this helps. Ain't the Internet grand?

  • My ipod touch will not reset and I can't restore in iTunes since it won't allow me to access wth a passcode on the ipod.

    My iPod touch will not reset.  I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over.  I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel.  Any ideas?

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • My ipod touch will not turn on, what can i do?

    My ipod touch 5gen will not turn on. It was working fine at night, in the morning it wouldnt turn on. I left it charging, so my ipod is not dead. I tried turning it on but nothing. My notifications werent coming in. My home button does not work so makes it worse. What can i do? Any suggestions?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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.

  • HT1386 My ipod touch will not sync to itunes after installing version 11.  My computer recognizes that it is connected, but itunes, media moneky, and sharepod would not recognize it.  I tried every suggestion apple and other community folks suggested-no l

    itunes diagnostics only finds that no ipod is connected when it really is.  I have tried different cords, unistalled/reinstalled itunes, erased my ipod started over, restarted computer, etc.  My ipod is useless now that I cannot sync it wth itunes and there is now no music on it.  Its a paper weight now.  All of the posts I have read have no solution for this.  I would love to go back to itunes 10 because none of this occured until I downloaded that version.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

    My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
    When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

    I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
    I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

  • My iPod touch will not send e mail. Can someone help?

    My iPod touch will not send e mail. I have tried for months now and have no success. It connects to many different wifi networks with no problem it even receives e mail but it will not let me respond or send newly composed e mail.
    Can someone help me out?

    Hey,
    Who is providing the email account? Most email accounts provided by Internet Service Providers will only let you send emails when connected to the Internet over their connection.
    You can try entering your email address on the iPhone Mail Setup Assistant, if its a common provider the settings will be displayed.

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data
