Microsoft Zune HD Questions & Answers
iPod touch or Zune HD (16GB versions)?
Follow Discussion
Hi, looking for advice on portable players. I'm considering iPod touch and Zune HD. If you had to make a decision, what would you choose and why?
Apple upgrades 3-gen old devices to the current OS. Not good support you say?
Recently i messed around with an iPod touch first generation...it literally didn`t have a working way of updating it without a jailbreak...so after several hours i gave up...I`ll post a question in several hours explaining the problem in detail...but updating through jailbreaking is not a good support :)
To update it, connect it to a computer with the original USB cable, run iTunes, choose the device and hit "update". It will automatically update to the latest available version. I believe it is iOS 3.-something.

I tried that...the ipod has the 1.x version of the firmware currently...When i try to update it through iTunes it gives me "could not open key"...I`m using 64-bits Windows 7 running as admin...I guess that the problem might be windows related...I tried older iTunes and upgrading the version with a baked backup but it bricked the device and i had to restore it...

Okay, thanks all. Looks like I'll be getting the latest iPod touch. :) And thanks for pointing out that the Zune thing is dead, had no idea about that.
