Updating my ipod touch version 5.0.1
Hi, i want to update my ipod touch (4th gen) to 5.1.1 so connected my device to itunes and it asks me to update it so i chose download and update. when my download began, i noticed that it's 750mb, and my dsl is a little bit slow (downloading that large would take around 6 hours). so i decided to cancel it and disconnect my ipod. here are my questions:
1. it that ok, what i just did? (cancelled the donwload), i checked my ipod to see if problems would arise since i cancelled the download, i thought maybe the update would be parallel to the time of donwload or something like that but it seems nothing is wrong with my ipod.
2. after disconnecting my ipod, the software update is still in the donwloads portion of itunes, can i still continue if even if my ipod is disconnected already?
3. if i choose donwload only instead, can i donwload it and then disconnect my ipod and then connect it for the update once the donwload is finished?
4 (last question) can i donwload the update (download only) using another computer, and then copy the update (if it would be located in the apps directory) and install it in the pc where i sync my ipod and update it from there?
sorry for my bad english.
thank you.
1. If the iPod works fine then what yu did was OK.
2. You can try continuing with the download. You have nothing to lose.
3. I think so. So just try.
4. Yes. It is located here:

Error (-1) when updating my Ipod Touch version 2.2.1?
I have tried a few of the suggestions on the Apple site. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes. Unfortunately I do not have another computer to try it out on. Not sure if there is anything else I can try, or if I'm just stuck with version 2.2.1???
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4972 Can you update an Ipod touch 3.1.2
Is it possible to update an ipod touch version 3.1.2? It does not have an update option under settings/general.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.
iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch.
Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated. -

However when I check for new updates my device is telling me that I have the latest version so I am unable to update to IOS 8. I also have an iphone 5 and do not have a problem updating this to the latest IOS. Can someone please help me?
Which version of the iPod touch do you have? I don't have it any more, but I had an iPod touch 4th generation and was unable to update that to the latest version of iOS.:

It sounds like you may have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. If so, 4.2.1 is the highest iOS. Please note there was never a 2nd Generation 8gB version of the iPod Touch.
