Why won't my 3g ipod touch update to ios5 after its been restored?

I restored my 3g ipod and it still won't update to ios5. How can I solve this?

Are you sure that it is a 3G iPod? To be sure, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353   If it is a 2G iPod, it cannot go beyond 4.2.1

  • Ipod runs out of battery after its been connected to pc.

    Hi my Ipod has ranout of battery after its been connected and charging through my pc. It was connected for a good few hours and when i disconnected and i went to play an album, i get the message - "please connect to power". I cant understand why it runs out when it says charging (the lightning bolt) and then battery fulll (the plug symbol). This has happened a couple of times now, i would be greatful for any help or insight into this. Thanks.

    My computer doesnt go to sleep, the ipod still says connected, so still not sure whats happening. It doesnt happen all the time, so funk knows, cheers anyway. Maybe the new firmware will fix it. Any ideas to when its due out?

  • Why won't my new iPod Touch 4th generation sync audiobooks?

    I have tried to sync my library from my old iPod Classic to my new iPod Touch, but it will not sync my audiobooks.  I have eyesight problems and my audiobooks are important to me.  When I connect to my computer and pull up iTunes, it shows the audiobooks are there, but when I snyc, my iPod doesn't even show a catagory for Audiobooks.    Can someone help me. 

    I feel so stupid!  I found the answer in the "More like this" area. 
    Here is an excerpt from the area that helped me:
    "he solution (someone already posted this, but not as emphatically) is  simply to *SCROLL DOWN* within the "books" tab when your ipod/iphone is  connected to itunes and you have selected it on the left pane.
    This  solution is not obvious if you have a smallish resolution monitor, as  audiobooks used to appear at the top. Now, the text books are  exclusively at the top. So, if you don't have any text books in your  library, everything looks mysteriously empty."

  • Ipod Touch update to iOS5 - Manual Manage Media

    Hi,
    I currently manage all my music manually on my IPOD Touch.
    My IPOD Touch is requesting that I update the operating system to iOS5. However a warning message is displayed explaining that once update is complete all media on my IPOD will be deleted. To preserve this content I must undertake the update on a computer that is sync'd to my IPOD.
    I do not have a copmputer is not sync'd to any computer. I work on a shared computer.
    Am I able to update the operating system, continue to manually manage my media, and not lose my music?
    Thank You

    As the message says, you will lose the mediaon the iPod after the update unless the media is in the iTunes library on the computer. Media is not included in the backup that iTunes make as the fist stage of the update. You can transfer most items to a computer and then do the update and sync the stuff back. If in the USa you can also redownload moste iTunes purchases via iCloud.

  • Videos won't play on iPod touch though they show they have been synced.

    Transferred 3 digital copy movies through iTunes to iPod Touch 4th Gen. Now in Videos App movies are "gray" and won't play.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
    FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
    If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it.  All data on the device is gone.  This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up.

    my itunes won't reconise my ipod touch but does with my nano any help plz

    - First see if resetting the iPod will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible.  For recovery mode see:

  • How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

    How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch. 

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • IPod Touch Update 1.1.1 - Unknown error occurred, Wiped my iPod

    I attempted the iPod Touch Update 1.1.1. The software downloaded completely, then the progress dialog appeared that it was preparing my iPod for the update. After a lengthy delay I received an error dialog saying that an unknown error had occurred(1602).
    After looking through my logs, the only relevant entry I can find is the following in iPodUpdater 3.log:
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: device connected (isDFU = 0)
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: error getting plugin interface for device: 0xe00002be
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: an erorr occurred handling a connected device: 0x7d1
    2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: _AMRecoveryModeDeviceFinalize: 0x14caa540
    This failure left that initial screen of the iPod plugin and iTunes symbol. I closed iTunes and relaunched it, as my iPod wasn't listed in the devices list. Upon relaunch, the iPod was detected but an error dialog appeared and said that my iPod was in a recovery state and had to be restored in order to work. So I restored my iPod and it updated it to 1.1.1.
    I have done nothing special to my iPod, I've only had it for a few days, but this update wiped my iPod clean. This is absolutely unacceptable for an update and I am very disappointed in Apple for this. They claim they are keeping the platform locked so things like this don't occur, but clearly it isn't helping.

    Mine upgraded from 1.1 flawlessly, but I was holding my breath...
    So far, I have never had a glitch like the one described here on my Ipods, but have read similar stories everywhere. This happens on Pocket PC PDAs as well.
    I've used my dubious firmware patching abilities to (as they say) brick a couple of things over the years, including a fairly nice Vaio. There was a time (after walking 10 miles through the snow, uphill both ways) that a failed firmware update meant that your computer was useful only as a doorstop if something went wrong.

  • New iPod Touch update deletes everything

    When installing new iPod Touch update, all songs and photos were deleted. Restore from back up you say? I tried, and iTunes said it was backing everything up before it installed the update but when it didn't, This isn't really a question, but Apple needs to fix this for future updates.

    The backup that iTunes makes does not include music, and other items like synced photos that are synced to the iPod.  If these items are not on the computer/iTunes library on the computer on which the update was performed, the items will not be on the iPod after the update.  The following lists what is included in the backup.
