iPod touch, iOS 5.1
"Can I just do it off of the ipod? "
No. Updating from the ipod is only available if you already have ios 5.
You will have to use a computer, and it will erase your content.
You should be syncing your ipod to a computer regulalrly.
No. You need to connect it to a computer. To do that find a computer with iTunes 10.6 amd an internet connection and:
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
- If yu have synced photos and some other items you will need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. They also do music.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backyp by right clicking on the iPod uder Devices in iTunes and select Backup
- Then restore the iPod from that backup. The iOS will also be updated to iOS 5.1.
Can I go into recently purchased in itunes, Than wouldnt i get it back???
You can redownload most iTunes purcbases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you update using a Mac or PC you don't normally sync with, only the content that is stored in the backup will be restored back to the device. Review what is stored in a backup before updating. To preserve iTunes media (such as music, videos, and photos) apply the update using the computer with which you normally sync. Otherwise, you will need to sync with the machine you normally use to recover this media.
