2nd Gen iPod Touch (MB533LL) Upgrade from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3

I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch (model MB533LL) running iOS 3.1.2.
Is it possible to upgrade it to 3.1.3? There is one app that i want to run which requires 3.1.3.
I found some firmware for 3.1.3 online, but when I try to install it I get an iTunes Restore Error 3194.
Thanks.

Interesting. I am definitely upgrading from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.
Here is the updater log, in case it helps.

2nd gen ipod touch obsolete?

ever since earlier this year, I have been noticing that more iOS application updates are no longer being written for iOS 4. this wasn't a major concern until a week ago, when I started noticing that the number of updates that were incompatible with my 2nd gen ipod touch had gone from 4 to 13 within 8 days of each other. since there looks to be fewer and fewer apps that will run under iOS 4, I have gotten to wondering about my current iPod. A few months ago, my 2nd gen iPod Touch was diagnosed by the genius bar in SF. the employee who ran the tests told me that my iPod was having some hardware issues, and a replacement would cost me $99. I really didn't see the point in doing anything at the time, but, if I am not going to be able to use the iPod as I have been doing for the past 3.75 years, then it might be time to replace it. I know that apple will discontinue support for iOS 4 completely before too long, and I don't want to be stuck with an ancient ipod. I was stuck with an ancient ibook g4 for 7 years prior to getting my current MacBookPro. any suggestions or feedback would be greatly welcomed! thanks

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

2nd Gen Ipod Touch won't upgrade

Hi, I purchased my 2nd gen Ipod Touch in 2009 and since then I was able to upgrade to 3.1.2. A year ago when I tried to upgrade higher, itunes would take forever to back up. A small loading window appeared and it stayed that way for hours. Itunes crashed.
Yesterday I was able to complete a successful manual backup of my ipod touch using the latest itunes software. This time itunes didn't crash and it lasted 15 hours.
But when I clicked on the upgrade button again, the small window appeared and itunes froze again. Before doing this I also made sure to have 2.3 GB of capacity available and I got rid of my largest apps.
Is it possible to upgrade to 4.0? I have read previous discussions and people don't have a problem with upgrading.
I use Windows XP and I downloaded the latest itunes.

The topic of your referenced article is:

2nd gen iPod touch - do I need to use Google calendar now?

I've updated my Mac to OSX 10.7.2 but I've not upgraded to iCloud, because I have a 2nd gen iPod touch.
As I've read Apple has not including calendars support for these, do I need to use Google calendar now?
I had Mac's for 15 years and even subscribed to MobileMe
If they're dumping my 2 year old bit of kit it's a poor show, I will keep it going as it still does a job for me, it's a shame I'll may have to move away from apple and I guess iTunes too.

That I know I've read that but unless someone comes up with a work around, before then, I'll move to google or yahoo calendars.
I'm Mac through and through, a total fan but like alot of people these day I'm having to cut back, yes it's nice I'm not paying the mobileme sub anymore but I can't justify buying a new ipod or stretching to an iphone.
Maybe I having to grow away from Apple.

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
Then try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

2nd gen iPod touch+iOS 4.2.1=problems

Hi!I have a 2nd gen iPod touch which has iOS 4.2.1 I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy microphone headset. Since I have iOS 4.2.1 on the iPod, it skips tracks, stops in the middle of the track and starts to play another one or just simply puts itself into FFW or stops while in my pocket. I'm using the device with this Samsung Galaxy earphone/mic combination for a long time, however I had no problems with it under earlier iOS versions. The shuffle for shake option is switched off in the settings of the iPod. Why is my iPod still going crazy in my pocket? Even when the screen is locked?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.
If you still have the problem then you may have a problem with the headphones. Maybe a bad connection or intermitent short/open.

How to sync contacts to 2nd gen iPod touch?

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and have just moved from MobileMe to iCloud on all of my other devices which are supported. On the iPod Touch I now should be able to sync contacts and calendars only via iTunes, since it will not work with iCloud. All is well with calendar syncing. However, even though I have the appropriate boxes checked in iTunes to sync contacts, I get "no contacts" on the Touch. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

Thanks, I had seen that support article. It states that although the Touch will not sync with iCloud, both calendar and contact data will continue to reside locally on the device. In my case this is true, and can sync locally with iTunes, for iCal, but not for contacts.

HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

No more podcasting on 2nd gen iPod touch?

On my 2nd gen iPod touch, Podcasts no longer show up in Music app. However, since it only runs ios 4.2.1, the podcast app is not available. The podcasts do sync from iTunes and are on my iPod since they are showing up through search. But when selected, the Music app opens but does not show or play the podcast. Any help or solutions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all podcasts and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

2nd gen ipod touch sleep/wake button will not work

Like the title says, the sleep/wake button (top button) doesn't work on my 2nd gen ipod touch. In short, I can't put it into sleep mode (I have to wait the one minute), turn it off to save the battery, take screenshots, or even reset it (without iTunes, anyways).
I don't have any guesses on why it's not working. It just stopped working one day. I don't see water damage (via the water damage detector in the earbud jack), and I don't think I dropped it in a way that would harm it (unless dropping it on carpet counts).
I should also mention that randomly, one day after school, I was messing with it, and the button worked. I think the battery had died, and I managed to turn it on then. It worked for a few hours (I charged the battery), and then it went back to not working.
The warranty's up (and I'm broke), so I can't repair it. I also want to point out that the problem started not long after the warranty expired. What, at this point, is my best option? Should I just save up for the newest model? Or would it be cheaper and more efficient to save up just enough for a repair? Any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

As I said, you can move on to Restore. Backup everything then Restore as New. Restoring from backup would just copy whatever software issue you may have. But it sure looks more and more like a hardware problem. Take a close look at the button to see if perhaps some dirt particles are stuck there.
You can also make an appointment with a Gnius at the nearest Apple store to have it diagnosed. Apple does not fix iPods, they just replace them with refurbished units, so it won't be cheap. Prices are here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You can Google for third part repair hops or do-it-yoursel kits.
Good luck.

2nd gen ipod touch doesn't wake up regularly to receive email

How can I get my 2nd gen iPod Touch (using ios 4.2.1 Build Version 8C148) to 'wake up' regularly to receive email (from my gmail account)? When the screen blanks (locks) while the wi-fi is on, it appears to also turn off wi-fi (I assume to conserve battery charge) until I unlock the screen, & therefore doesn't check for email every so often - I have to unlock screen & check manually. I want to know if there are iPod settings (I feel I looked over all possibilities, but could have missed something) or an app that can enable my iPod Touch to check for email every 10 minutes (while the screen is locked & there's enough charge in the battery) & if I receive one or more emails, generate the audio notification. [I tried several search phrasings on this support site & saw nothing similar to my request for assistance]
Thanks.

The only setting is to have Push turned on in the Settings>Mail. However, your problem may be related to Google stopping Push for Gmail

2nd gen ipod touch keeps force closing apps. what should i do?

my wife gave me her old 2nd gen ipod touch when she got a new one. she cleared off all the data and did a factory reset. a couple of weeks goes by and my apps keeps force closing on me. its getting really annoying escpecially when i try to play games or go on facebook. i checked for updates and its has the latest 4.2.1. its not a space issue either; i have 6.83 gigs left. i really dont want to do a restore...can anyone give me any tips or advice on what to do about this problem?
thanks!

A restart does nothing to the data. Try this first.
A reset does nothing to the data. Try this if restarting does not help.
If restart and restore do not solve it then restore from backup.
If that fails then restore as new.

2nd gen ipod touch problems

ive factory reset my 2nd gen ipod touch andit seemed sucessful until it came to loading the i pod back up where it is now stuck on a black screen with the apple logo with a loading counter underneath which has appeared to have frozen. what can i do?

Try restarting the iPod touch by holding the home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo dissappears and then reappears.
If that doesn't do it, try restoring the iPod from recovery mode.
WTH.
