Is there a way to upgrade the iOS software on a an IPod Touch 2.2.1?

Is there a way to upgrade an IPod Touch 2.2.1 to iOS 4.0 software?

Probably not since you may have a 1G ipod.  The 1G can only go to 3.1.3.  You can identify yur iPod here:

If you have 1G you can get 3.1.3 by going here. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

If you have a 2G you can go as high as 4.2.1.

  • Is there a way to upgrade the iOS software to 5 only by means of bypassing the automatic upgrade to 5.0.1?

    I believe that we all know the latest version of iOS now has an issue with regards to battery life. I proved it and tested it to my iPhone 4S. Few days ago, the battery life of my iPhone 4S, last for one week (almost) in a stand by mode without charging it. It's version running iOS 5. Upon upgrading it to iOS 5.0.1, I notice that every half an hour or less, it drains from 1% - 5%. But it stating that the upgrade purpose is for the battery issue so on and so forth. It's totally the reverse side.
    Now, my main concern is, I recently bought an iPad2 with running iOS 4.3.5. I really like the version or the iOS 5. Is there a way that I can just upgrade it to version 5 only? I don't like the iOS 5.0.1 which is the latest version because of what happend on my iPhone 4S. Is there a way too to downgrade it?
    Please help me and thanks in advance. 

  • My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?

    My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?  Do I have to go to Settings>General>reset>Erase all content and settings before I can get the newer ios?  If this is the case, how can I ensure all my content is backed up prior to erasing it all. Is there anyway to check to ensure the backup is complete and comprehensive?  THanks!

    A second generation iPod touch can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

    When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
    At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
    Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

    Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.

  • Got a used iPod touch 4th gerneration, and most apps are not able to be d/l with iOS6. Is there a way to get the older, compatible apps on my iPod touch?

    How do I get older versions of apps to download to my iPod touch 4th generation?

    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.

  • I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player.  It says I need ios 4.3.  I keep getting a message saying I can download 6.? but it will wipe out everything on my ipod.  Is there a way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

    I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download ios 6.? but that it will wipe everything off my ipod.  Is there any way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

    There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device.  If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3.  You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
    If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade.  Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
    You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything.  Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
    However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS.  There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that.

  • Is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it?

    When I installed the iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, I chose the wrong computer to sync with (between my old one and my new one) and now my iPhone will only back up on my computer and won't sync new songs or anything!
    I tried to sync with USB cable, I reinstalled iTunes and I'm affraid to restore it!
    So, is there a way to acces the "iOS Setup Assistant" from iOS 6 without restoring it? (so I can choose the right computer)
    Or, is there another solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi!
    you have two ways:
    1- move your iTunes library from your computer to other one and sync your phone again. your apps and etc. has been reinstall.
    2- you can sync your iPhone just with iCloud. first upload your song with iTunes to your iCloud account and then sync your iPhone with that.

    No.
    Also, do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    A hard drive replacement doesn't void warranty on a MacBook Pro, so you can replace the hard drive without worrying about its warranty. However, you have to be sure of what you are doing, because if you damage any part, you will void warranty.
    First look for a hard drive. I recommend you to visit OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ 7200 rpm hard drives will give you extra performance.
    Then, just reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, format the hard drive with Disk Utility and reinstall OS X or restore a Time Machine backup

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • When I try to upgrade the ios software on my ipod touch 4 g flashes Apple . Heip me please!

    when I try to upgrade the ios software on my ipod touch 4 g flashes Apple . Heip me please!

    Next try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.
