What is your current OS? If you are trying to update from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1, this can be done under Settings > General > Software Update right from the iPad.

Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.

Why can't i update the ios for my ipod? I'm stuck at 3.1.3. Please help.
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:
Identifying iPod models
If you have a later iPod, what version of iTunes do you have on your computer and what computer OS and version?

Why can´t Itunes identify an update for my Ipod Touch ?

Why can´t Itunes identify an update for my Ipod Touch ?

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
Thanks in advance.

Per Rysz' suggestion, configure accordingly:

I am unable to download the update for my ipod.."the network connection has timed out". my internet is working fine, i have the latest iTunes..whats going on?

Temporarily disable/turn off your anti-virus and firewall software and try the download again.

HT1620 The new update for my iPod touch is asking for a 4 digit pass code. I don't know what this is

The new update for my iPod touch is asking for a 4 digit pass code . I don't have one. When I updated my iPad I wasn't asked for a code.

Sorry, everyone! I found my pass code. Thanks

I recently downloaded the latest update for my Ipod touch. When I finished all the music that was downloaded to it was gone. I really need help from any one that knows how to restore music - not bought from Itunes - to my Ipod touch. Thank you very much

Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3? iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

TS2529 why i cant update for more than ios 4.2

why i cant update for more than ios 4.2

Because your iPhone 3G is now more than four years old and cannot be updated any further.
I recommend you consider updating your iPhone hardware.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.

Will there be an update for video iPods?

Looking at all the new iPods (nano & classic) there is a revamp to the interface. From what I can tell there is no difference between iPod with Video and iPod classic (Other than storage capacities and build materials). So hypothetically the new interface with coverflow should work on the iPods with video right? Does any one know if apple intends to have an update for video iPods?

Could I please make one thing clear, I am not prepared to turn this into a "slanging" match. The comments I made are valid comments and I have in no way insulted anybody in this discussion and would appreciate the same.
Firstly my comments of "I'm sure that Apple would be able to bring an update to 5th gen ipods to include the new and exciting features they have announced?" it is a simple comment, of which you have questioned in a manner to which I'm not sure; why you have done so? Are people out there saying it is in no way possible to roll back these great features to the 5th gen ipods? The human race have completed many amazing feets, but I guess cover flow on a 5th gen ipod is just a step too far?
Your crued observation of me using the word rhetorical is confusing to say the very least. A rhetorical question is one you already know the answer too, therefore it may be viewed as a question but is in fact a statement.
The third comment, i will agree with you upon. I have jumped to a conclusion, but, for what other reason would Apple not roll these exciting features onto the 5th gen ipods for, other than; they want you to buy the new ipods? Which in itself validates my point, I do not feel the need to own 2 large storage devices.
4th comment, "I would certainly never defend bad support. However, Apple has provided excellent support. Your whining is completely unrelated to support". Very constructive!
Finally the 5th comment. I will repeat my self:
"The human race have completed many amazing feets, but I guess cover flow on a 5th gen ipod is just a step too far?"
At no point have I confessed to being an ipod software creator, but I'm sure the lovely people at Apple could perform this feet........if they wanted too?
