Update ios on model mb528ll   8gig ipod

picked up used ipod and would like to use it for apps but they say to update opererating system
please advise

I looked it up by your model number. Looks like you have an iPod touch 2nd generation. It's running iOS 4.2, which is as high as it can go. The newest iOS is iOS 7. iOS 4 is a very old iOS and the majority of the apps on the app store require a much newer iOS.  It's exteremely rare to find apps that work on iOS 4. The iPod touch is pretty much only good for music, unless you Jailbreak it.  If you don't mind me asking, how much did you spend for it?

    Allan Eckert, my guess is that my reply did not show up until the OPs posted her reply. That problem seems to have restarted this morning. See the post in the Lounge>Community Operations forum for more info.

  • Can I update ios 5 from 4th generation ipod touch?

    I want to buy the 4th generation ipod touch, but I also want the ios 5 installed into the ipod touch. However, I don't want to wait for the ios 5 release date in the fall to buy the ipod. Can I just download the ios 5 to the ipod directly? Or do I have to wait for the ios 5 release date to buy the ipod?

    Check compatible devices at the bottom of this page.

  • 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.

  • HT4539 how do you update iOS on ipod

    how do you updat operating system on ipod

    Connect the iPod to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    What version of iOS that your iPod will be updated to will depend upon which generation it is - older iPod Touches can't update to more recent iOS versions.  If it's a recent model then it should update to iOS 6, in which case you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.
