What will happen if ipod touch previous generation cannot be upgrade anymore?

It will continue to operate, play music and so on. It just will not be able to update apps that rely on later iOS versions.

Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation. Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled. I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

How much usable space will an 8GB iPod touch 4th Generation have running the latest version of iOS6

I am buying an 8GB iPod touch 4th Generation off a friend, and I am wondering, once I upgrade it to the highest possible version of iOS 6, how much space will I actually have to use for music etc?
Much appreciated!

If I recall about 6.3 or 6.4 GB. Not much more than previous versions.

What will happen to iPod 5G's info when I do a fresh Windows install?

Title basically says it all. I've been using my iPod Video as a storage device as well as for music, and I'm going to do a clean install of Windows XP in the near future-my CD/DVD drive has somehow failed to respond (code 41), so reinstalling Windows to factory settings should do the trick. Only problem I can foresee is what will happen to all the data on my iPod when I reinstall the CD software for iTunes and my iPod drivers-will all the data on my iPod disappear when I reconnect it to my laptop for the first time?
Just wondering if anyone's done this before, as I'll assume it's a typical topic.

When the iPod is connected to the PC after reinstalling Windows, a message will appear asking you if you want to change the computer the iPod is associated with will appear if iTunes is installed; pressing Erase & Sync on this dialog box will delete all content on the iPod that was synced from iTunes. Content copied to the iPod outside of iTunes will not be erased by iTunes unless you explicitly restore the iPod.

IPod Touch (5th Generation) cannot charge?

I just recently saw an ad on craigslist of someone selling an iPod Touch (5th Generation) for extremely cheap. The catch was the battery could not charge. Considering how cheap I got it, I figured it would be a simple battery replacement or such that I could find online and I would have a like-new iPod Touch. The only issue is I cannot find any solutions to this exact problem. Basically what has happened is, no matter where I plug-in this iPod, I only get the empty battery logo with the lighting bolt underneath. I have tried changing cords, and changing where it gets charge from, (my computer, wall charger, iPad charger) and it does the same thing. I have even tried leaving it charged for over 30-min+ and it still does not charge. I do not know the history of this iPod, but it seems as though I can see 2 very small dents on the back of the iPod. I have attempted all the basic diagnostics on this iPod
The iPod is :
iPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB (Pink)
Any feed-back is much appreciated.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one $149. They do not fix yours. The dents indicate abuse and thus voids the warranty.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't upgrade to version 4.2.1 from 2.2.1.!!! Please help!!!

It is definitely a 2nd generation. I purchased it second hand and it must have been restored to factory defaults. I plug it into Itunes and it says I have the latest version. Where do I find 4.2.1???

What version of iTunes do you have on the computer?
Are you sure it is a 2G? Does it look like this. Not the shape of the black antenna cover. This shows a 1G. The cover on the 2G is oval.
If you have a 1G those can go as far as 3.1.3 that you get here.

If i already have an ipod touch 4th generation, can i upgrade to an ipod touch 5th generation?

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and i really want to get the 5th generation and I was wondering if i could upgrade instead of having to buy one for $300? And if i do upgrade will the new ipod come with the packaging (headphones,lightning cable) and how much would it cost to upgrade? please help!

Unfortunately, unless you actually work at Apple, you will have to purchase a new iPod at full retail price. Sorry.

Help! ipod touch 1st generation cannot be recognized by iTunes

Hi there,
I tried to upgrade my ipod touch (1st generation) using itunes, but it failed. I forgot the error code. After that, my ipod touch cannot be recognized by iTunes any longer. Every time when I open the ipod touch, it shows the graph of a CD and an ipod touch cable, looks like this:
Music CD
/|\
Cable
Is there any way to make it recognized by iTunes? Thanks a lot.

Thank you. That symbol appeared in my ipod touch. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. But it does not help. Also tried the one mentioned in "Restart iPod touch" in that link, it does not work either.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

Hello Jon,
I would check out this article for a pretty good explanation of what is different between the two generations. There are good handful of them and some are pretty important.

Have you tried the standard fixes"
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore your iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problems persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
