  • 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

  • Problem updating my ipod touch 2nd generation

    I have a ipod touch 2nd generation and in itunes it says its software is updated to iOS 4.2.1. But when i try to download apps it says i need iOS 4.3. but it says its up to date what should i do?

    Those applications can't be used on a second generation iPod touch. You need to get a newer device or give up.

  • 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:

  • 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.
