I want to update my ipod 4g into ios7

You can't. Only the 5g model runs iOS 7.

Yeah only 5th gen. for iPod touch can well iPhones can but that's the latest so have 2 be to get the update and it ***** huh

I meant, you cannot get the ios7 update for the 4th gen. of iPod touch! Only with iPhones and 5th gen of iPod touch! :'( it's sad because I have a iPod 4 too and I find this extremely unfair

Why is it "unfair," exactly? Or even "sad."

<Edited By Host>

Well personally i think that the iPod touch shud have IOS7 because there are a lot of apple users out there that just aren't rich enough to get the latest virsion and when they do have the money there is already another version that is even batter and people get stuck behind in the modern industry of technology

. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.

All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

So what's a practial way to transfer my music and other data to my new iPad air??? I thought syncing through icloud was the simple solution.

For all information:

iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

You can redownload iTunes prucases directly to the new device:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Sync from your iTunes library

The reason you can't update is.

apples A4 chip underclocked from 1ghz to 800mhz

256mb ram same as the ipod touch 3rd gen

while the 5th gen has

apples A5 chip NOT UNDERCLOCKED running at 1ghz

and 512mb of ram

basically the 4th gens hardware is outdated to run IOS 7

the iphone 4 has the A4 chip but still has IOS 7 and thanks to that it struggles with IOS 7

The ony reason the 4G iPod does not have iOS 7 is the memory. The iPhone 4 and 4G iPod both have the same underclocked (800 MHz) A 4 processor and same graphics units. The memory difference has already been discussed previously in this discussion. Thus you added no new information in your reply one month after other replies.

Generally, I'd just live with the IOS6+, but more and more apps are only compatible with IOS7. For example, tried to put on FLICKR the other day. It won't install because it's IOS7 compliant. Anyone know how I can get earlier versions of apps?

Yes.

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

A already said, the hardware on the 4G does not support higher than 6.1.6.

If you want a higher version you need to get a 5G or 6G iPod
