Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. IPod 4th gen cannot install iOS7, since it does not have the technical capability to handle iOS 7. That's why you're getting the "your software is up to date" message.

You guys think this is apple's idea that they came up with to get more money? You switch to android and you will see the same type of thing. It's technology. It gets "better" because it's "more advanced" and prices go up. Android may be supporting lower ranged hardware devices but they can't do that forever. There will always be people that get the newest devices. I've had IOS 4.2.1 and watched all the IOSs come out. They come out and are super popular but then the new one comes out. There are people that will always competing with technology. There are people that will lose the battle due to prices and stuff. Then there are the people who just don't care and watch everyone else fight. It's been interesting watching everyone fight. If it's really important to you, spend your money on new operating systems. But I've had IOS 4.2.1 and I've turned out alright.

I personally think Apple should release a modified version of iOS 7 to run on iPod Touch 4th Gen, iPad 1st gen, and maybe iPhone 3gs. This version would be specificly modified for the iDevices that have ram under 512 MB, but iOS 7 uses alot of power, but maybe Apple could manage to do it. I wish an Apple employee would take in my ideas ( i have a open mind and big imagination when it comes to getting ideas). This would solve all this anger! Also, this may be hard (or may be impossible in all ways) but maybe There is a way to upgrade your RAM?
