{{abbr|.IPSW|iPhone Software}} files are the most robust and reliable method to upgrade/downgrade your iPod. You may restore from an .IPSW file in [[iTunes]] using {{key press|Shift|Restore}} with an iPod plugged into your system, navigating and selecting the .IPSW file and iTunes will deploy your firmware of choice onto your iPod.

The second best alternative to an .IPSW file is to use an [[iPod updater]]. Updaters are bundles of iPod firmware(s) accessible through a GUI packaged by Apple to issue updates and behave ultimately the same as .IPSW file. A more comprehensive list of iPod updaters can be found on it's respective article.

==Methodology==
When operating with older [[iPod touch|iPod touches]] and devices running iPhoneOS or early versions of iOS <sup>(iOS<=5)</sup>, it is highly advised to be using an older build of iTunes. The recommended range of versions are iTunes 9.0 through 11.1.5, with the most recommended version being '''11.1.5'''. A comprehensive list of downloads are available at the [https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/ITunes iPhone Wiki].

Prior to the [[iPod touch (4th generation)]] and up until the introduction of A4 series chipsets into the iPod lineup, Apple had yet to implement any restrictions to lock users away from flashing unsigned .IPSWs onto iPods using iTunes. On devices featuring the A4 chip, flashing unsigned .IPSW files had been restricted and would be impossible, meaning you would have to restore your device to the latest signed version provided by Apple and to seek recourse through jailbreaks and experimental workarounds. On devices preceding the A4, the [[iPod touch (3rd generation)]] and below, you may interchangably use unsigned .IPSW files according to the device.

In this table, the .IPSWs you can no longer restore to are marked with [[File:Apple X.png|frameless|x20px|Unsigned by Apple]] and those of which you can restore from are prefixed either with [[File:Apple.png|frameless|x20px]], indicating it is unsigned but restorable and [[File:Apple checkmark.png|frameless|x20px|Signed by Apple]] indicates it still signed by Apple and restorable.
