Why I can´t update software to iOS 7 on my iPod Touch 4?

Why I can´t update software to iOS on my iPod Touch 4?

The 4th generation can not be upgraded beyond 6.1.3. It lacks the required hardware (RAM) for the new version of iOS.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 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

    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.

  • 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.

    Confirm that you have a 4G iPod Touch as iOS 6 is not compatible with earlier generation iPod Touch models.

  • Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone.  Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on. 
    Now what?  This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
    Thank you!

  • I can't update software iOS 5.1.1. Why ?

    I can't update software 5.1.1

    What EXACTLY do you mean?

    "why i can't find software update menu in setting - general ". So, where is "software update" located ?

    You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from. 

  • HT4623 Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

    Why I can't update my iPad 2 to the iOS 7

    Are you trying to update OTA (over the air) on the iPad itself? To do so, you need to have iOS 5.x or above installed. The OTA update feature was added with this version. If you are running below iOS 5.x, you need to use your PC to update the iPad to the newest iOS 7.
    Check your iOS version: Settings>General>About
    The number displayed under "Version" is your current iOS version.

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to iOS 5?

    Why I can't update my iPad o iOS 5?

    You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is 7.0.4
    What happens when you follow the instructions on the page that you posted from ?
    To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT4972 Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update

    Why I can't update my iPad to the iOS 7.0 when I go to general there's no section for update.please help

    If you have an iPad 1G you cannot run iOS 7. If you are currently using iOS 4.x.x then you cannot upgrade OTA. Instead do this:
    Give this a try:
    Download Apple – iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.
