My iPod is a 4th hen and I cannot update to 4.3 I am stuck at 4.1 and there is no update avalible what should I do to update?

my iPod though is a 4th generation and it has version 4.1 and I cannot update to any new version the isn't any softwear updates what should I do?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • HT5312 I forgot  security questions, and there is no rescue email, what should i do?

    I forgot  security questions, and there is no rescue email, what should i do?

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

  • I have an Ipod touch 1st generation which for some reason will not sync to my itunes account because of an 'error', though the error it speaks of is unknown.I have restored the ipod to original factory settings and it still will not sync.What should I do?

    My title question pretty much explains it all but here are a few more details. I have tried almost everything I could think of before restoring my Ipod. I switched cords, turned it off before I plugged it in, I turned it on before I plugged it in, I manually tried to sync it, I turned of the computer and restarted, and after all that I finally restored it . But before all of this I was having other problums with it as well. It will freeze up when I use certain apps and also has a tendency to switch album covers, though now theres no album covers left on the ipod, the my itunes library is still fully intact... What should I do?

    Sorry for  the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

  • My ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps what should I do ?

    my ipod 4g is running slow and doesn't open some apps and close the when i am working on them what should I do ?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                
    iOS: How to back up                            
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod 5 has white lines and it doesnt want to slide, what should i do?

    My ipod 5 hs white horizontal lines and I doesn't want to slide, what should I do?

    Hi Ted,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides tips that should help you resolve the display issue that you described.
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771
    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
    View different content to verify that the issue is not content related.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Cheers!

  • Ipod is frozen on song and won't respond to anything, what should I do?

    I have tried resetting and it is still frozen. I can't restore, because neither Itunes nor my computer will recognize it.

    You may need to let your iPod's battery run down fully. Then, after it is completely dead, let it recharge through a poewr source for 3 hours.
    Also, before you get into that, you could try this:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
    3 - After you've done that for a little while (for perhaps 15-20 seconds), eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.

    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.
    - 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.

    - Try another cable if available
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    They can fix it at the Apple Store. I wish you could get it fixed for free, but the warranty doesn't cover accidents like this . It sounds like you understand this, I just want to make sure you know.

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    You can also search for a 3rd party repair company in the Internet.

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281.  I had the same problem, but solved it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds.  If you are lucky, that will work for you as well!
