My ipod touch says I need to update the software in order to access iTunes for apps, but iTunes says I have the most current version.  What do i do?

I have an iPod touch.  When I try to download an app, it says I need to update the device's software to access the iTunes store.  But, when i connect to iTunes, it says I have the most current version.  I'm stuck.  My mother got this iPod as free-with-purchase when she bought her desktop.  She used it, then gave it to me.  Could this be the problem? because she connected it to her iTunes and now it won't work on mine?  When I first plugged it into my iTunes, it said the iPod was registered to another account and did I want to sync it with my account, to which I said yes.  So far, this iPod has been useless to me because I can't download any apps to it.  Help, please.

Which ipod is it?

    If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
    Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

  • HT4623 i have the ipod touch 8gb. i need to update the software 4.3. i try but don;t due that.

    I HAVE THE IPOD TOUCH 8GB I NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE 4.3. I TRY BUT DONT FIX

    If it's a second generation iPod touch, it can't be updated past 4.2.1. 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones are second generation.

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Are you sure you really  have a 3G iPod?

    iPod touch (3rd generation)

  • HT201317 just backed up my iphone to the icloud and updated my software.  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find the pictures -- 470 of them.  How can I access them?

    How can i access all my photos after backing up my iphone to the icloud?  I clicked on "delete once downloaded" but now can not find them.

    You can import your camera roll to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    If you're upgrading your phone, I would recommend that you backup your old phone to your computer using iTunes.  Restoring an iTunes backup to your new phone will be much faster than restoring an iCloud backup, and possibly more reliable too.
    To back it up to iTunes, connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  The go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option, choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore this backup to your new phone.  It will include your camera roll and other data; restoring the backup will will also sync your apps and other iTunes media from your iTunes library to your new phone.

  • Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...

    Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.

    The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated.  Am I just SOL??

    The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.
