Updating software for iPod

I hope this isn't a dumb question... but here goes. I keep getting a message that a new software version (1.1) is available for my iPod. I click on the link, but it sends me to an iTunes screen for updates. So OK, I update my iTunes, thinking that might also take care of the iPod software. I get a message that it updated successfully. I'm not sure that my iTunes really updated. It was supposed to download iTunes version 7, but I just checked my version and it's still version 6. Do I need to do something else to complete the update?
Also, how do I update my iPod software? I don't even know how to tell what version is on my iPod. Do I have to update my iPod software, or is that something that the iTunes update takes care of?
I've tried searching the discussion forums, but can't find a solution for my problem.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!

Ok, not a dumb question . To find out what vrsion of iTunes you have, go to "help" then to "about iTunes". It'll tell you what version you have. Here's the Latest version of iTunes if you don't already have it:

This should take care of the update for the iPod.

Update software for Ipod

I tried to update my Ipod software but an error message pops up saying There was a problem downloading the Ipod Software for my Ipod and that the service was temporaily unavailable what can i do to fix it

I do not believe that this is possable. Your iPod photo does not have the same hardware that the iPod video has to allow it to playback video. If a video iPod is important to you, you will need to by a 5G iPod.
Hope this helped

Updating software for iPod Touch Model MC086LL

The current software on my iPod Touch is 4.2.1 and I would like to update it to the most recent software or to the 4.3 version at the very least. However, when I click check for software I receive a message indicateing that my software version is uptodate. I know for a fact that it is not the current version. How can I get my iPod Touch to do a software update? I have read and followed the instructions in the iPod manual and some instructions I have found on this site, but I still cannot get the software to update. Some of my apps should be updated including the one I use the most to listen to my ebook.
Thank you in advance for all who answer my request for help.

I have no reason to purchase a newer version iPod Touch, I just want to up date my software. There should be a way to do this and I wish I could find out how. A 3 year old device is just not considered old, in my option, and should be able to recieve updates. (F.Y.I., my windows computer is over 7 years old and I can update it's software. If Apple makes you purchase new devices in order to have newer software, then I don't see me buying any more Apple device which is sad as I just purchased an iPad and "love" my iPod Touch.)

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Downloaded Update Software now Ipod is not working - Please Help

I downloaded Update Software onto Ipod and now Ipod is not working. It is stating "Itunes detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used in Itunes". Here's the deal I did that now the Ipod just blinks the circle with the line through it and says do not disconnect. Nothing happens. Has the new software corrupted my Ipod? Can anyone Help

Try the instructions here.

Sorry but I think this wrong, I know that in Colombia there and two of the three operators already have 4G/LTE networks, what happens is that the iPhone should be expected to send the update software for computers that have this tercnologia activate them,

Thank you for your attention

Apple needs to test the carrier if they offer LTE as expected.
If your country/carrier is not on the list then there's no LTE on your iPhone.

It's between the your carrier and Apple. There's nothing you can do except feedback to Apple:

I am trying to update software for face time on my iPad 2, but it won't connect.

I am trying to update software for face time, but it won't connect.

There is no update for FaceTime as it is included with iOS 7.0.4.
What specifically is your problem with FaceTime? Do you have a wifi/internet connection?

I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

I am trying to obtain updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O

Hi all, could someone please show me how I can get hold of updated software for an Epson CX5400 A-I-O print, scan, copier. I have been advised by the site to click on 'Software Updates' but there doesn't seem to be anything available, unless I'm missing something.
I appreciate that the machine is approaching 10 years old, but am hopeful of a solution.
I would gratefully accept any idiot-proof solutions to this problem.

Hi Den, Right, I've taken 2 screen shots to better illustrate what my problem is with getting to add the Epson printer to my printer list. Let's see if this works:
Hopefully, the above screen shots better illustrate what my system is throwing up. Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I need help on how to update software for my ipad1, can someone help me?

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, see the info below.
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.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
