Can a 4th generation iPod Touch be connected to the Pantec Impact via Bluetooth?

Can a 4th generation iPod Touch be connected to the Pantec Impact via Bluetooth? They see each other but when they are told to pair or connect it fails. Both have been tried with headsets and both connect fine. Both have the most recent software updates available.

You mean the PAN profile, which is supported by the iPod touch according to the chart?
But looking into more detail on bluetooth and of what profiles my phone supports it looks like iPod uses PAN, while my phone uses DUN for tethering.

WiFi on 2nd generation iPod Touch times out

The WiFi for my 2nd generation iPod Touch is connected, but the internet is either excruciatingly slow, or times out every time I try to use it. I have a full signal and I've tried resetting the network settings as well as the iPod setting, but neither has made a difference. How do I fix this without spending money?

I took it into the Apple store and was told it could be a hardware problem, and (of course) I'm out of warranty, so tough cookies. How does something like this happen? I haven't dropped it or spilled anything on it. All I've done is listen to music, download apps, play games and surf the internet -- why am I told "tough luck," because it decided to stop working after two years of gentle usage? Ugh. Hope this serves as a warning to others: Apple products are not really worth the pricetag if they give out after 2 years, so be weary.

My 2nd generation ipod touch is frozen... help please?

I went to turn my 2nd generation ipod touch off by pressing the top button, and it is now frozen on the screen that has the "slide to power of" bar across the top and the "cancel" bar on the bottom. I have tried to press both buttons but nothing seems to happen... and it will not restart at all. I also tried plugging it into itunes and it WILL charge but not turn on at all. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
If you have done both the methods in the article below which looks like you have. Plus you connected to a power source and it is not progressing past current screen. You have a couple options.
1. allow touch to drain the battery, then reconnect and allow it to charge
2. Make an appointment at your local apple retail store and or contact your iPod Touch support group.

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1. When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Note The "May nned service" means a hardware problem.

HT4204 can I get voice over on 2nd generation iPod touch?

can I get voice over for my blind son on a 2nd generation iPod touch ( iOS 4.2)

This is not a feature of the version of iOS on that device.

How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps. It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3. How do I get that on this ipod? This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch. I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

2nd Generation Ipod touch stuck in recovery. PLEASE HELP!

My 2nd Generation Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. At least i think it's recovery mode, the connect to itunes thing comes up and won't go away when I try to turn it on. I am willing to restore it but Itunes won't let me. When I press restore, an error comes up that says "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted." I have NEVER had any problems with this ipod before, except that it's a natural piece of crap, but yeah, it has worked completely fine until today when it randomly turned off (it may have died) and is now in recovery mode. It is not jailbroken or modified in any way. Also where Itunes usually gives you your ipod information I get this;
Name: Ipod
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: n/a
Serial Number: n/a
Please help me....

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

2nd Generation Ipod Touch Sync issue with Apps.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch and Itunes says that I have 6 apps that need to be updated. But when I go to the Itunes app area and try to update it says there is not updates. How do I determine which apps are causing the issue? What can I do to reset the number? Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks! Dave

My guess is that those Apps require iOS 4.3 or later, which a 2nd generation Touch cannot install.
So the notification in iTunes (programme on your computer) will say there are updates to the Apps, because there are. However, since your iPod cannot use them, if you look at the App Store App on your iPod, those Apps won't be (shouldn't be) listed. Occasionally, I think they do get added to the notification number showing in the Apps Store icon on the iPod. I currently have two Apps like that.
Important:
What you should not do must not do is update the Apps in your iTunes Library (on the computer). If you do, then your next Sync of the iPod Touch to your iTunes Library will remove the App from your iPod and you will lose the App.
My advice is that you ignore the notification number in your Apps Store App icon. It is no longer accurate or even meaningful. Instead, go to the Apps section of your iTunes Library and click on the X updates Available message. That will take you to the Store and list the updateable Apps. Unfortunately, you will need to check each one individually for it's Requirements. If it now requires iOS 4.3 or later - or an iPod Touch 3rd generation running iOS 4.2.1, do not download it. I think that now, every update will require iOS 4.3 or iOS 5, so there will probably be no Apps that you can update. If you do find one, you can update just that individual one by selecting Update as shown below.
I'm in the same boat as you:
Unfortunately, far too many people simply rant on about this, so that it's impossible to get together and lobby Apple to modify this so that those of us with older iPods can continue to use older versions of the Apps. They (Apple) appear to have forgotten that if an existing customer is not in a position to replace their aging iPod with the latest one, then that customer may no longer be able to use an App - thus losing the App's designer his/her customers.
I can see that their thinking is obviously; "the customer will buy a newer iPod because they want to have the latest iPod/they want to continue to use their Apps".
Hhhmmm! Not in the real world!

How to solve this?

HT4059 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I am trying to download ibooks onto. It is version 4.2.1. The app says it requires 5.0. Is there an older version I can put on the ipod so I can read books? And same with the kindle app.

How can I get the ibooks onto a 2nd generation ipod touch since it requires 5.0 and the version on the ipod is only 4.2.1? Surely, I should be able to read books on the 2nd generation ipod, right?

"Really? "
Yes.
"Is there any other way to access books on the ipod 2nd generation? "
No ibooks.
You can try a kindle reader.
