Should I update my iPod Software

Hi,
I live in the UK, but I bought my iPod from Hong Kong, so I could avoid the EU volume cap.
If update my iPod Software will my iPod become volume capped like other UK ones?

No.
The volume cap is in hardware, not the downloadable firmware.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    Hook it up to your computer and open itunes. try to download hte apps via your computer. Every time you update hte software you have to reagree to the itunes terms of service. Sometimes it's hard to get it to come up on the device, but is easier on a computer.

  • Updating iTunes & iPod software

    I recently puchased some songs from the iTunes store, but did on a different computer to the one on which I keep my music. I then tried to import the songs into my iTunes directory and I was propmted to update iTunes to version 7 (7.0.1.8). Having done this, I could play the new music, but the songs had to be placed in a different directory i.e. it would not place them in the iTunes directory. Next I went to synchronise my iPod, and I was told to update my iPod software to version 3.1.1 which I did. When propmted I disconnected the iPod from my pc, connected to external power to allow the update to complete. Reconnecting my iPod to my pc, I was told that the new songs would not synchronise because I had to update my iPod software !!
    So I disconnected my iPod once more, deleted the new songs from iTunes, made a few palylist changes, and reconnected my iPod. Very quickly I was told that iPod update was complete in iTunes, but my iPod is stilling flashing "Do Not Disconnect". Is this normal?

    I am removing this question as I posted another which was more concise

  • When I update my ipod software...

    When I update my Ipod software, will it only delete music from my Ipod itself or also from my Itunes Library?

    Either way, it would be a good idea to have your entire iTunes library backed up elsewhere in case something happens to your PC.
    Best of luck with the update.

  • How do you update the iPod software?

    I downloaded the update. My iPod has ver. 2.2 and the update has 2.3. I have a 2nd or 3rd gen iPod. Not the click wheel, but has the docking station. Press what I have to press and nothing updates. Any help would be appreciated.

    You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
    After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
    After rebooting, run the Updater.
    Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
    It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
    Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
    -- Choose the Update option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version.
    -- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version
    b and
    format your iPod's hard drive.

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes store or update my iPod software

    I've been having problems with my iTunes for a while now. Every time I try to connect to the iTunes store, i get the message "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. an unknown error occurred. (-3221). make sure your network connection is active and try again." also, when i try to sync my iPod, i am told that my software is old and i need to download the new version. when i try to do this, i get the message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." ALSO, whenever i put a previously recorded cd into my dvd drive to add it to my iTunes, the iTunes will load the music but not the cd information, which it used to find automatically! can someone please help me? i've contacted apple several times and done everything they've said to try; i've tried all of the advice here in the support section and even talked to friends with lots of computer experience and nothing has helped. i even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and turned off my firewall. still nothing!

  • Can't update my ipod software

    i have the 2nd generation ipod touch and the latest version of itunes (10.4.1)
    the software version on my ipod is 4.2.1 but i think the latest is 4.5.something right now.
    when i go to the summary tab and click check for update, it says that my ipod has the newest software (even though i only have 4.2) and so i don't know how else to download version 4.5.
    what do i do?

    I think 4.2.1 is the farthest you can go on a 2nd gen iPod touch.
    Your software is up to date if you click Check for Update and it tells you, "This version of iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version".

  • Trying to update my ipod software so I can use my Bose Sounddock remote

    Hi,
    I have a 30 GB 5th Gen ipod that is running Version 1.2, apparently I need version 2.2 to use my Bose Sounddock remote. After searching the Apple website to find a way to download version 2.2, Apple kept bringing me back to the latest itunes 7 download which is supposed to alert you to any ipod updates. So I have downloaded itunes 7 which tells me my ipod is updated with version 1.2. How can I get 2.2 on my ipod?
    I notice other people are having similar problems with no solutions, thought I would give it another try, any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Jessica
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Version 2.2 of the software is designed for a different model of iPod, most likely the third generation models, and is older than your model of iPod. The current version of the iPod software for your model is version 1.21; if the remote doesn't work with this version, you probably can't use it with your iPod.
    The version numbers are determined relative to the release of the original iPod for first through fourth generation full-size models, and relative to the release of the first iPod with that product name for other iPods, including the iPod photos.
