Will the first ipod video software ever update to the 5.5 ipod video?

Hi I have a 60gb ipod video that came out before the recent 5.5 version 80gb ipod video.
My question is even though i have the latest software for the ipod, i am not able to use the type-search feature (different from the fast scrolling feature that i do have)
will apple ever have the type-search feature in the update for those of us who have the old ipod video, since it doesnt seem like a hardware update but a software update.
apple please answer...
thanks,

One of the main features of the 5th Gen was the ability to
have and use the Search fuction.
It also gave a lift to the Brightness level.

  • HT1923 Im am a bit of a luddite, I have one of the first ipads and want to update to the ios 6.1.3 - is this possible and if so, HOW

    How do I update my earliest version of the Ipad wireless 64g ipad to ios 6.1.3 - I am not too technical and previously I have been able to do it through my PC but cant seem to do it now.

    Thanks Stedman. All other updates have always worked... I wish they would warn you when you buy the top of the range device at the time,  that it would be out of date only a few years later. Oh well, thanks for the help!!

    They got the money but there is no monthly subscription and it says the subscription will expire in Feb!

  • When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do?

    When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do? It keeps going around in circles. I have tried re-starting the computer and re-launching the program holding down the option-command keys. Neither helped.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?
    This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
    Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
    If there are photos in the library do the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • I recently updated a friends iPhone 3 to I cloud , however some contacts have disappeared. These seem to be the ones that were added onto her phone and not her sim. As I have done a sim import. This is the first time she has ever done a back up and sync.

    hi , i cant update mi ipod touch software, a soon as the download process in finished an error message appears :" session time has expired" something like that

    Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves a network timeout error.

  • HT4623 There is no "Software Update" visible between "About" and "Usage" in General Settings, as shown in the example. And I can't find it anywhere else, either, so I am stymied at the first step of trying to update. Ideas?

    I am stymied at the first step of trying to update my IPad software, as there is no "Software Update" choice visible in General Settings. And I can't find it anywhere else, either. Ideas?

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available on iPad with IOS 5 and above.
    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

  • I have the first generation iPad, how do I get the software update iOS 6?

    I have the first generation iPad and I'm trying to download apps but my device keeps telling me to download the iOS software update 6. When I go to updates in my settings it's saying my device is up to date with iOS 5.1.1, but it's saying I need the iOS 6. How do I upgrade my device if it's not showing iOS update 6?

    The first generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
    You may still be able to get compatible versions fo the Apps by downloading the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the current  App version using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad. With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:

  • Since I updated to iOS5, I now have two (2) different Apple IDs. The first is my original Apple ID (iMac); the second is my primary email address (iPad

    Since I updated to iOS5, I now have two (2) different Apple IDs. The first is my original Apple ID (iMac); the second is my primary email address (iPad & iPod). How can I standardize on just one ID?

    No.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • The iPod "my ipod name" cannot be updated. The required file is in use.

    Installed iTunes 7 on my mac. Everything went fine. Updated my ipod everything went fine. Ever since then I've been getting a dialogue pop up window stating "The iPod "my ipod name" cannot be updated. The required file is in use."
    This pop up happens at completely random intervals, sometimes every minute sometimes every 10 min.
    Its extremely annoying as it bounces the icon in the dock until I give iTunes focus, click ok, and then I can navigate songs etc. I listen to my music thru my iPod while its connected to my computer, so this bug just about has me reverting back to v6.
    I've repaired permissions, and disabled anything I could think of that may be using it, ie synergy etc, with no success.

    I have a 4th Gen 30gb IPOD and updated Itunes 7 sucessfully but could not update/install IPOD 1.2 upgrade.
    Eventually after clicking the message boxes with the above info we seem to be getting, I selected the update button that appears on the front page of ITUNES and it installed/updated. I have been attempting for a couple of days and it just worked!!!!
    After it completed, I received the same dialog box and then disconnected the IPOD from my laptop.
    Seems to be OK now but there is def something going on.
    I thought it may be a shareware issue with mp3's being downloaded into Itunes library form another application.

  • The Ipod "name" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found.

    Back ground Information: I’m having multiple problem and are finding a few temporary fixes online. For example, my Ipods were not being recognized in Itunes. I referenced this () for a fix but only was able to get a temporary fix. With this said, I would like to describe more problems. I just purchased an 80gig ipod video and a 2 gig nano. Currently I have 2.8 gig of music in my library.
    Case 1. On the initial set up, itunes recommended to create a play list because all 2.8 gigs of music exceeded my nano’s storage space. Once the play list was created, I have not been able to updated this play list, or change it out for a different one. I get this message when I try to change the synch characteristics. (The ipod “littleballs” cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. )
    I tried to restore the nano, but it seems to disconnect itself from itunes. A dialog box would appear “restoring little balls”, but the nano would not appear in the side menu and the top of itunes status box would be empty.
    I tried to disable the auto sync function, so that my nano doesn’t disconnect itself, but I get the same message when doing so. It seems when I try to make changes to my nano this message pops up. hummmm
    Can someone please tell me what required folder is missing? And how do I located it to fix this issue?
    Case 2. My 80gig Ipod seems to synch just find. However, when I attempted to add pictures to it by synch it to a photo folder located on my c drive the same message pops up.à (The ipod “bigdaddyballs” cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found.) Again, the same message.
    Someone please help me before I jump out of my window. I just purchased these products and my life have consisted of continuous problem solving. I’m starting to think I made a big $700 mistake. Thanks….. HELP!!!!!!!

  • The iPod could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.

    So i kept having this problem in this thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1226490&tstart=255
    I decided that maybe doing a Restore on my iPod would maybe sort it out however i got that message "The iPod could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt." when trying to restore. I then searched apple and found out that deleting the 'iPod Software Updates' folder would sort it out, it didn't.
    Now what's happening is when i try to restore it comes up saying i have to download this iPod Software 1.2.1 for iPod so it downloads and then when it's finished i'm still getting the error message saying the firmware file is corrupt.
    What can i do now? any help appreciated please.

    this article actually sorted this problem out for me: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996
