Updating to 4.2 for the ipod touch 3rd Gen

Hey, it seems i have a problem updating my ipod touch 3rd generation to the new 4.0 software. I am using my ordinary toshiba laptop with windows on it and my itunes recognises that i need to update and offers me the update. So.. I click update and it starts going through the motions to update it, i starts saying 'Backing up Ipod Touch' And a little progress bar to show me how it is going, it gets to like one bar and doesnt move any further, i have tried leaving it for hours but it still doesnt move any further. When i have then cancelled the backup everything closes fine so it is not a case of my computer or itunes freezing.
Does anyone have a clue and can help me??? Please!?

Do you have any Firewalls turned on or do you have any Virus Protection installed?
You may have to turn one or both Off to get the update.

    Thanks

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • What updates does the Ipod touch 3rd gen 8 gig get?

    i was just wondering

    Yes, a 3G iPod can go to 5.1.1. However, many users who think thay have a 3G actually have a 2G. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    To update to 5.1.1 if you have a 3G the computer needs iTunes 10.5 or later.

    - Try another cable.
    - Try another USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Try on another computer. Just backup a couple of times. Do not sync.

  • Update for the iPod touch 4th gen

    Hi, I have a iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 4.1 (Yes, really old.) And i've never updated an apple device and I need some help about it.
    I did backup the iPod but when I go to update it, it gives me a warning saying "Some purchased files on here are not bla bla bla" And i'm thinking, when I backed it up did everything get onto my computer?
    And do the photos sync with it aswell? Because I have photos I can't loose.

    The backup does not include any iTunes content.  You can transfer purchases from idevice to computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The photos taken with the iPhone are not part of the sync.  You should be importing them as you would with any digital camera.

    My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

    You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
    "iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."
