Why can't I upgrade my iPod Touch 5, 32 GB to iOS 7?

The serial number is C3*****CP9. I have iOS 6.1.6. I'm not offered the iOS 7 upgrade. I just reformatted and lost Skype to this rift, so yeah... any advice? Apple says my device is compatible. Thanks.

Because you have a 4G iPod

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



To download a compatible version:

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.
