Just wondering if the new breed of iPod Touch will be iOS 5 (and by that I mean possibly, 5.0.0, 5.15.0, 5.25.0.1, 5.35.1, or 5.45.1.1). If it can support one of the versions of iOS 5, a few, or even all, please specifiy. Thank you!
iPod touch, iOS 6, 5th Generation
rascott132, your method does not work since when you restore or update the iTunes contacts the Apple servers and verifies that you are using the latest (signed update). Apple stopped signing iOS 5.1.1 about two days after iOS 6 was released. If you try you get a 3194 error
No. The only way you could get an iPod Touch with iOS 5 is if you found a 4th Generation on Ebay that hadn't been updated to iOS 6. But, the software updater will automatically download iOS 6 onto the iPod. Why do you need an iPod with iOS 5 instead of iOS 6?
Well, I mean it is possible to downgrade your software, all you have to do is find the iOS version you're looking for online, and when the iPod is connected, (if you're running Windows like myself), shift click (Shift+Click) the 'update' button on the iPods main menu, and instead of just updating to the newest iOS, it will ask you to locate the (iOS) file that you want the iPod to run on, in Windows Explorer.
This allows you to find older iOS versions just in case something to the newest version (such as iOS 6) isn't to one's personal preference.
I was just wondering, because I know many people with iPhone 4S's and many of them seem to not like iOS 6, and I'm not too keen on it myself. Since I will soon be getting an iPod Touch 5g (which naturally comes with iOS 6 preinstalled), I was just wondering if the hardware on this newest iPod would be able to support the software for iOS 5? Y'know, just in case.
Ahh, so basically, something like the Touch or the iPhone need confrimation from Apple to install different iOS versions?
Even if it were signed, iOS 5 would almost certainly not have the drivers for the newer iPod model and hence would not work.
Regards.
Can the iPod Touch 5th Generation support iOS 5?
