Why when i plug my iPod Touch 4th gen in does it not ask me to upgrade to iOS 5?

my ipoid is a 4th generation touch and ive seen the upgrade for ios5 and when i plugged it in it was supposed to ask me if i wanted to upgrade and it never has. ive tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in but it wont ask me and i cant see that theres any other way to do it. also when i check the summary page and click on check for update it tells me that this is the current version.

it wont ask you if its already installed on it.
but you can always download it manually from internet and
connect your  ipod back in itunes pess shift and click update for a pc, press options and click update for a mac. Then select where you saved the file after downloading.
befor that if the file is in .zip format you have to change it to .ipsw format for it to show in tunes......
cheers

    Does Phillips say it will work with a 4G iPod with 6.1.5?

  • When i plug my ipod touch (4th gen) into my car usb port the ipod goes into repeat mode

    Why is it that when I plug my ipod touch into the USB port of my Peugeot 508SW that the device goes into repeat mode and the same song is played continuosly?

    Hi lllaass
    The car handbook certainly states that Ipods can be connected although it doesn't specifically mention which operating systems are supported.  The car system is recognising the ipod and playing one tune continuously but you cannot switch it to a different song.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in reboot loop after attempting to update to iOS 6.1.5

    Hi.
    I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.3)....I plugged it into my computer, it said there was a software update available. I click ok, it goes through all of it's stuff, gets up to Verifying update with Apple, and then I get an error message.
    "The iPod 'iPod Touch 4' could not be restored. It is not eligible for the requested build."
    I know this has something to do with Apple not signing the package, but I got iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone today and it worked fine.
    Thanks for all of your guys' help,

  • I plug my iPod touch (4th gen) into my computer, and the computer nor iTunes recognizes the device. It is a brand new ipod, and I already updated my iTunes to the current version. Help! I want to get music off of my computer!

    Why won't it recognize?

    iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
    I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
    I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
    I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
    I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
    I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

  • Why can't i see ipod touch 4th gen's avertisement in this page?

    Probably pictures (mockups) of the iPod touch 4G. Just like here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_touch?view=overview
    (In Overview of the iPod touch page)
    To answer your question @patricialynnramos
    There is a mockup next to the 5th gen.
    Atleast on the iPod touch Overview Page of this forum. Please specify. Thanks.

  • Anyone else having volume icon on ipod touch 4gen just popping up and not working properly after upgrading to ios 6.1?

    Hi, has anyone experienced issues with there volume control icon randomly popping up after upgrading to ios 6.1 from 6.0 .
    I have a 4th gen ipod touch which  until upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0 was working perfectly.
    Minutes after the upgrade I noticed the volume icon just popping up for no reason. I can turn the volume up now, but not down and it randomly appears on screen without anyone touching it. Weird!  Can someone shed some light on this issue,I have reset and reloaded to factory several times now to no avail.
    thanks!

    I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back. 

  • When i plug my ipod in (4th gen, brand new,) it wont sync

    Brand new, just opened the box and plugged in. It recognizes it, but only on the top wheras apple forums say it should appear in sidebar. Instead of moving all the material from the computer on to the ipod it tries to import everything from the ipod onto the computer, but nothing is there. This is ridiculous, they wouldnt let me fix my third gen (also had a syncing problem, nothing to do with computer). Syncing it should be the simplest thing to do, its step number one!!! You should be able to plug it in and sync up but the **** thing wont work. Thanks a lot apple, great job

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

  • Error message in Itunes when trying to sync Ipod Touch 4th gen.

    I'm trying to sync my iPod and I keep getting the message that "Itunes cannot sync apps to the ipod because the apps installed on the ipod could not be determined". It seems to be keeping the sync from finishing, so I can't access anything new I've added. It shows up on the ipod and looks like it's there in itunes, but I can't select it when I try to open it on the ipod.
    Help!

  • Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

    Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

    I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!
