IPod touch won't update to the newest update

My ipod touch 3rd gen is having problems updating. In the past it worked fine and had no problems until This past update it wouldn't update. I was getting the error 3259 and apparently it told me that I need to update my itunes, which I did. I checked my firewall connections, which I didn't touch since it worked fine before, and tried restarting my internet. And lately my ipod has been I guess freezing and won't recognize my touch, which is weird cause I can still listen to music, but I won't be able to switch it unless I restart, wait for a while and such and it still won't recognize it. Until I read something on a forum where you have to connect the ipod to the computer and then try restarting and it worked. Anyways, my whole problem is not updating my ipod. Could someone please help me? It would much appreciated.

The first iPod touch can only go to 3.1.3
the 2G to 4.2.1
The 3G to 5.1.1
the 4G to 6.1.6
The 5G to the current iOS 8
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

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!

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, 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.

Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

My ipod touch won't play on the new docking station I got.

My ipod touch won't play via the new docking station I got for xmas. Wors with a 3.5mm connector but not on the ipod connection itself. Seems like other ipods and iphones work on it but not mine. what can I do to fix this?

- Does your iPOd have iOS 5 and do the other devise have an earlier version?
- Some users have reported that some docks no longer worked after updating to iOS 5/5.0.1
- What the dock maunufacturer's support site say about compatibility wth your model iPod and iOS?

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.

In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

Then try a restore.

My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top. What do I do to fix it???

My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open. It shows the lock symbol at the top. This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open? Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from. Someone please help!!!!

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

IPod Touch won't update from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS 4

My second generation IPod touch won't upgrade from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS4. Everytime I plug it into the computer it tells me there's an update. I'll click theupdate and it will start backing up my files but it never gets beyond this point. What is the best way to fix this?

Ipod touch won't update....

I can't get the ipod touch to backup, update, or even reset. Whats going on, and how do I fix this?

For the iPod not backing up, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location (you can delete after a successful backup) so iTunes has to create an entire new file. It is located here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

TS1398 My iPod touch won't connect to the wifi.?

So my iPod touch has been conecting to the internet perfectly these last few weeks, but i turned it on this morning and it would not connect to my home wifi at all. It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection?
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times
I have tried turning the wifi connector on and off
I have reset my network settings
I have held the home button and lock button for ten seconds and restarted it
I "forgot" the wifi link and re added it with the password again
I don't want IOS7 and i can't download it without internet anyway
I dont know what else to do and im really starting to get annoyed
Help please

It connects to other wifi signals, and i can connect my laptop to my home wifi, but not my ipod? It constantly has a loading sign next to it even though i have full signal connection? indicates a problem with your network.
Power off and then back on the router
Next try changing the security on the router. Start with no security (no password required) for a test.
- Restore from iCloud backup. It shuld not update to iOS 7See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device via iTunes. This will update a 5G to iOS 7
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipod touch won't connect to the wifi network?

Hello,
My ipod touch won't work upstairs in my house. It is a 32gb 3rd generation and you have to stand close to the router. My family has two other ipod touchs and both of them work up in my room. I need help on how to mak it so my iPod works. I have reset the network settings 5 times and I have restored it once. Neither of them work. I have had it since 2009 and i got the wifi router in February 2011. It worked until March break when I went to my friends house and my iPod wouldn't work unless I stood bside her laptop. there was 3 other iPod touchs that worked fne though. Can I get viruses on my iPod touch?? Please help

Here's how I solved my connection issues (I got this from doing online research):
Manually Configure Your Network: From DHCP tab, tap the STATIC tab at the top. You will be presented with 4 fields to fill in:
Field 1 is the IP Address. This address is for your iPod and it needs to be corret inorder to connect to the network. You need to know the address of your router in order to fill this field in. If you have a home network router, chances are your router address is something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (you need to find this in your router's manual). Set your iPod's IP address to something like 192.168.X.150 (X= the 3rd number in your router's address).
Field 2 is the Subnet Mask. Most likely, your Subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0 (as long as your router's address begins with 192.168.X.X).
Field 3 is the Router Address. This address is given to you in your router's user manual. Some manufacturers even have it written on the bottom or back of the router itself. Most likely, it will be either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (confirm with your user manual). This address is also called the Default Gateway.
Field 4 is the DNS address. If the above fields are correctly set, these should be determined automatically. However, if they are not, you will need to get this (or these) address(es) from your Internet Service Provider. You may also obtain this information from http://opendns.com (free service).
When I first tried this procedure, I could only receive mail and not send. Later on, I could send but not receive. After a few calls to my ISP (they said they were having problems with the internet) and a lot of entering and re-entering the information, I finally gave up and early the next a.m. I input everything again and all of a sudden I was hooked up!
My ISP never could tell me why I couldn't get a connection.
P.S. The port I used was 25.
Good Luck!
