Why can't i update to the ios 7

Why I update to the ios 7 or 8 ? When my Ipod Touch 4gb is on ios 6

iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM, and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor. A fourth generation iPod touch doesn’t have either of those.

Why can't I update to the latest itunes version? My computer says an error occured and that if the problem persists to load manually

Why can't I update to the latest version of itunes. My computer tells me an error occured and if it happens again to load manually

Had exactly same problem on iPad1. "Unable to check for update. An error occurred while checking for a software update". Been getting this since 3/7/2012. Apple support said probably server overload. Checked these comments and found answer that worked.
-- Reset device
    . Backup your iPhone/iPad to iCloud (very important). Settings>iCloud> Storage and Backup>Backup Now (at the bottom)
    . Erase your device. Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content And Settings
    . Device will reset and wipe itself
    . When it restarts follow the instructions on screen and setup your device.
        You're choices here do not really matter except for restoring From a backup.
        Do not restore a backup, chose "Set up as new".
    . When complete, the Software Update should now work which will install IOS 5.1
    . When installed, Erase the device again (see Above).
    . Once erased, follow the Wizard but this time select that you wish to restore from a backup
        In iCloud. Select the backup that you took in first step.
     . Your device should be back to normal and with IOS 5.1.
This takes time to complete but it worked. Thanks to Glosdeveloper for this. By the way this was an "over the air" update (as opposed to plugged in.

Why can't i update to my ios from 4.2.8 to 4.3, let alone ios 6???

why can't i update to my ios from 4.2.8 to 4.3, let alone ios 6???

Whenever you try to update iOS, or restore iOS, it will only go to the latest version available and supported by your device. For the iPhone 4, it is iOS 6.0.1. If you want to update, then iOS 6.0.1 is your only choice.
Whoops, forgot: You also have to have iTunes 10.7, and the software for the computer has to be compatible. Mac is OS X 10.6.8, or Windows with the latest service packs.

Why can i not update to the new version of iPhoto and Garageband through the appstore?

When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:
"We could not complete your request
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
How can I update to the new version?
Im running on the OS X Lion 10.7.4 system for Macbook Pro I have the Version 9.2 of iPhoto and 6.0.4 of Garageband. If that's of any assistance.

Because you don't. You update using Software Update or by going to the Apple web site.
I think iLife is being updated from MAS now, thus the need for a AppleID to update it.
One person had iLife and tried to update with a differnent AppleID and it rejected it, seems they bought a open box machine and iLife was installed using another AppleID for display purposes.
When one reinstalls Lion, and has to install iLife, they have to go to MAS to do it.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

Why can't I update to new iOS on my iPod Touch 3rd generation

My iPod Touch says it is up to date when I update. I have iOS 5.1.1. I would like to install some additional apps on the device but a message says I have to have a newer iOS (at least 6.0). How do I resolve this issue? I have the 64 GB model 1318 (3rd Generation) and still have plenty of room to update the OS. I did a back-up today so that I wouldn't lose any data. Thank you for your help. Patty

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 released, 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.

Why can't i update apps in ios 7

When updating my applications, the status is always "waiting". Please help me

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?
I try to update my ipod touch 4th gen. to the new iOS 4.3 software and the thing loads and after the 7-8 minutes or so, when it says "processing file" a pop up says that the network connection has timed out, and to check my network settings.

Hi,
Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
Unzip the file.
After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
Open iTunes
Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
Press OK
It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
When this finishes, your device will restart
Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
It will put back all your apps and information

I have itunes updated but it doesn't show that an update is available for the ipod.

Probably because yu have a 1G iPod that can only go as high as 3.1.3. To identify your iPod:
