Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS  to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.

All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

    iPod touch 3rd or 4th gen can go up to 5.0.1 (and future updates).

  • I can't update my Ipod Touch 2nd Generation to IOS 5, why?

    I would really like to get IOS 5. But when I plug my scond gen. Ipod Touch into Itunes, it says that 4.3.1 is the latest update.
    Please Help, thanks in advance.
    P.S: my pc is a Toshiba Satilite, running Windows Vista Home Premium, and I have Itunes 10.5.

    So, because it's not compatible with IOS 5, does that mean I won't be able to use the new apps?
    Before buying in App you should read the description carefully. Each App states the requirements and on which platform it will be able to run. And yes, sorry, many of the new Apps require IOS 5, and since they have been compiled for IOS 5 and their code requires the runtime support of the OS, it is impossible to run them on a different OS.
    Please could you tell me if there is a way to update it without going via Itunes because a bit of internet research tells me that Apple do it so that you just have to buy a new Ipod. I do not want to do any illegal downloads.
    An interesting question, but I will not be so taktless to answer that question in a forum provided by Apple, and you should not ask us to do that

    I have an Ipod touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOs and it is no longer recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. This means I can not change synch settings - any ideas on what I need to do ?

    See:

    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Can I update my Ipod touch first generation to iOS 4.3?

    I've had my 16 GB ipod touch first generation (With built in WiFi) since it was the newest model out. I would like to update to a newer model but money is tight. I was hoping someone could tell me if, and how, I can update my ipod to the latest software from Apple, so as to get apps and games and an overall fresher feel for the device. It is in very good shape, never damaged or serviced, and I still have close to 3 GB of room on it. I use it 99.5% for music storage and playage. I am brutally ignorant when it comes to keeping up to date with technology, and even moreso with apple, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    There is no 8 GB 3G iPod.  When the 3G ipods were introduced, the 8GB 2G ipod continued to be sold with update iOS,

  • I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

    I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
    It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

    Thanks Chris.  Have tried this but does not work.  I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't.  Any advice?

  • Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

    When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

    I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
    I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete...  then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
    That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
    WOrked like a charm.
    Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

  • HT2052 iOS Software Update for iPod touch (2nd generation)

    I am not able to use previous apps on my iPod touch 2nd generation or even install new apps cause of this issue. I find it very messed up that Apple is inputting these restrictions, because they want people to buy the latest versions of their gadgets. Not everyone finds it necessary to buy every new version of every technology or even have the money to do so. It is just really disappointing...

    There is nothing unusual about this at all.
    As with any tv, computer, dvd player, car,etc the older hardware is simply not capable of running the latest software.
    This is normal.
    The second gen was released over 4 years ago.

  • Will there be any updates for ipod touch 2nd generation

    i have the ipod touch 2nd generation and was wondering if there will be any updates or any fixes for that generation of ipod?

    iOS 5 will definitely not support the 2nd-generation iPod touch. They list the supported devices at the bottom of this page:
