2nd gen touch won't update to version 4.2?

When connected to Itunes I am told a newer version 4.2 is available (touch is at 2.2.1). After updating is says "cant restore ipod"

No  good error.
Error 1 or -1

  • 2nd Gen Touch & WiFi & Hidden SSID networks

    I have tried to read all of the (many, many) existing threads on WiFi issues with the new iPod Touch -- frankly this ought to be a HUGE embarrassment to Apple.
    Let me add to the list of problems -- the many strikes against this otherwise quite lovable device:
    It doesn't play well with networks that use hidden SSID, so-called "closed" networks. All of the known existing problems with Touch 2Gen and ordinary WiFi networks (failure to join automatically, needing to have the device reset before joining, needing to turn off/on/off/on the wifi on the device before joining, etc. etc. etc.) -- are replicated and worsened when attempting to join and remain connected to a hidden-SSID network (yes, even one running on Apple's own wireless router!).
    The worst is that, very often, one has to repeat going through the entire process of entering the network name and password -- as if the network had been 'forgotten.' (Although, it can be proved the iPod hasn't 'forgotten' the network, as the device will remember details such as a Static IP to associate with the network -- it just forgets to join it in the first place!)
    Apple, Apple, Apple!
    Are you determined to make me stop buying your products in the future?
    Do you intend to fix the very buggy WiFi on this device?

    Have you (or anyone who replied on this thread) actually opened a support case with Apple?
    I just got a new 2nd Gen touch a couple of weeks ago and have been having the same problems described by you and the others here in my office (which uses a hidden SSID + 128bit WEP). Usually, the connection is lost when the unit comes out of sleep and it won't come back until I do a reset of the network settings and re-enter all the connection parameters.
    I have 2 other co-workers with 2nd gen units and they have the exact same problems (worse actually, since they are both farther from the nearest access point).
    There are 2 other folks here who have 1st gen units and neither one has ever had any problems here in the building. So this does appear to be a 2nd gen only issue.
    I installed the 2.2 update which didn't help or hurt, but I was having the problems with the older 2.1.2 software.
    It would be encouraging to at least hear from someone that Apple has acknowledged this is a real problem. If there is some sort of workaround, that would be even more encouraging.
    Thanks,

  • HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update.  Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch?  My last update is Ios5.  My touch says its up to date.  So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

    Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod

    My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod & when I added it back, I still got old data. Any ideas?

  • Airplay works for phots and video, but not music on 2nd gen touch

    Upgraded to 4.2 on 2nd gen touch. I can send photos and videos/movies to AppleTV via Airplay, but not music. I can select AppleTV when playing a song on Touch and the music stops playing from Touch, but never plays from AppleTV. Audio works just fine for movies sent to AppleTV.
    Anyone else experience this?
    Support told me that this feature is not supported on 2nd gen Touch and I'd have to buy a new Touch. The Apple website says feature is supported. A second call to support and they said it is. ?????

    Im having a similar problem where after a period of time I can get neither my iPhone 4 or iTouch 2G to see the Air Tunes speakers on my Airport Express base station. Always works fine from my computer's iTunes though. What I found works is powering off and rebooting the phone / iTouch (not just locking it). When it reboots go to your music and maybe you'll see the Apple TV or Airport Express icon appear now. Works for me anyways. After a while, they will "forget" and I need to reboot the phone again to find it. I think there are kinks in the 4.2 iOS that need to be sorted out.

  • Is it possible to install ios 5 on a 2nd gen touch,i would love to give this to my daughter for her to play games with and none of the games are supported

    Sorry, no. 4.2.1 is the highest possible for that model.

  • Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

    number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

    Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

  • Both 1st and 2nd gen touchs losing video/music

    I have a first gen touch and a 2nd gen touch that are both losing music and video periodically. They are both set to manually manage music and seem fine when plugged in. After hitting the eject button in itunes sometimes they are wiped sometimes they are fine. They only work after doing a restore at which point you have to put everything back on. Both itunes and the ipod software are up to date. Is there any way to fix this?

    I have the same question
    1) ATV gen2 = good at netflix, issues with everything else
    2) ATV gen1 = good at playing movies, music, works well with apple remote, no Netflix
    i just set them both up thinking the best solution is to just flip between them with my universal remote, but that remote controls both at the same time even though only one is visible. Interestingly, the Gen3 remote doesn't mess with the Gen1 ATV.
    So how do we make it so that our universal remotes can control EACH ATV without both at the same time?

  • Sensor low battery indicator in 2nd gen Touch?

    I got a used Nike+ kit last week. Everything worked fine, calibration right on. Did a warm-up walk tonight prior to running. When the walk was finished, it said my walk was 0 miles, pace was 0, and burned 0 calories. When I got ready to run, the iPod could never find the sensor. I have turned Nike+ off and on, put the sensor into sleep and "revived" it...all kinds of stuff.
    Since it is a used sensor, I'm wondering if the battery has gone. I didn't see a low battery sensor, though, which makes me wonder if the 2nd gen Touch displays one.
    All advice is welcome.

    Sorry, didn't notice I was on the Nano forum.

  • Bought Nike+ for 2nd gen touch, doesnt sense it, help please

    I bought a new Nike+ sensor for my 2nd gen touch and right out of the box it wouldnt work. It told me to walk around to activate the sensor, but i can walk for 10 minutes and nothing, so i decided to ask the people that actually know something about ipods... thanks
    p.s. tried to wake it up, tried settings and calibrations, and checked for software updates

    Did you happen to activate the touch to work with the sensor? You have to turn it on in Settings > Nike + iPod.
