ipod touch generation 5 that hasn't been updated for along time. Needing to update to get iTunes to work. Software update stating I need to download iOS 9.2.1 but when I do that I am getting a message that the software is not available.
iPod touch, iOS 7.1.1
Just what are yo doing and what is the exact wording of the error message?
Maybe the message is telling you to update iTunes on your computer.
iOS 9.2.1 requires iTunes 12,3 which requires OSX 10,8.5 or later, or if a PC, Win 7 or newer..
Message says 'Software Update Unavailable. Software Update is not available at this time. Try again later.' This message is appearing on my daughter's 5th generation iPod Touch. Do I need to update the version of iTunes on my computer and connect the iPod to the computer? Or is there someway to update the iTunes on the iPod thru WiFi? The iPod Touch is connected to WiFi.
You can update on the iPod by Settings>General>Software Update. This was added starting in iOS 5
That is where I am trying to get the update from. Settings>General>Software Update> then it shows iOS 9.2.1 Apple Inc Downloaded screen, within the screen there is a link that says 'Install Now', I click on it, Terms and Conditions display, I click Agree, says it is installing but then I get the message as described previously.
