Why can I upgrade my mc086bt (iPod 3g) to ios 5? it says I have the current version

You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1.  If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

    I am so sorry I am frustrating you. This is the first time I have used this community and am leanring as I go. I am not able to see the entire post that you leave, unless I look at it on my phone (email)--I am so sorry. You have no idea how much i appreciate your help. Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • Can't open documents "you will need a newer version of pages..get upgrade at app store" App store says I have the current version.

    Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.

    You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • HT1222 Can I update my Old iPod touch 4.2.1 version to the IOS 5 or 6? It says i have the current version but I can't get my apps ...such as Netflix

    I'm trying to get the iOS 5 or 6 update to my ipod touch version 4.2.1
    My ipod says it's up to date but I can't get my netflix app to load becuse it says I need the iOS 5 software
    Does this mean that my Ipod touch is no longer any good???
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
    Candice

    I used to be able to get Netflix and other apps on my ipod but since they have been upgraded to ios 5 + I can no longer get them. "
    You updated your Netflix app without seeing if the new version was compatible with your ios version. Had you not updated, then you could still be using it.
    " So I gather by your response and other similar questions/answers that I am out of luck now."
    Yes.
    Sorry

  • Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

    Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens.  Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
    IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

    Hello JF.
    I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

  • A pop-up says I need to update FF, but can't due to an error. I have the current version. Whats up with that?

    I've been getting a pop-up that says Firefox needs to update, but it can't due to an error. I have checked and I have the current version (5.0.1). What's up with that?

    Go to iTunes.com, then click on Download iTunes on the top right area, then on the next screen make sure it states iTunes 11.1 on the left side and email is not necessary then click on download now in the blue button. Issue should be resolved

  • My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac. It says that I need to install the lastest version of itune (11.1) but when I try to update itunes it says that I have the current version 10.6.3. Can someone please help!

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
    thanks

    You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac.  No version of  iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs.  I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher.  The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac.  I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • I have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

    i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

    Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.

  • I've lost iPhoto after upgrading to Mavericks. I try downloading and it says I have an older version then doesn't give me an option to do anything?

    I'm trying to download the new version of iPhoto when I upgraded to OSX Mavericks. It's telling me that I have an old version of iPhoto but yet not giving me an option to download new. Any ideas on what may be the problem?

    What version of iPhoto do you have?
    If you have any version of iPhoto '11 then version 9.5.x is a free update - if you own an earlier version of iPhoto ('09 or earlier) then you must pruchae iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the app store

  • HT1918 Why can I not download a free app??? It says I have a billing problem.. Not true

    Why can I not download a free app? It says I have a billing problem but that's not true.

    Hi friend,
    Probably in the past you tap for a update inside the application, that made you have a pending payment in your Apple account. Go to www.apple.com and check about pending payments. If you have, wait for around 30 days (starting to count from the day you asked for the paid update) then it will be canceled automaticaly.
    Hope it helps
