2nd generation ipod for mac

someone please refresh my memory. i seem to remember that apple made two different versions of ipods then, one for windows and one for macs. and that the one for windows shipped with musicmatch software on it. here's where my memory gets fuzzy. i seem to remember that macs could use either one but that for windows users they had to get the correct one. or was it the other way around? i may get one of these things. incidently i have a mac.

bump.

Tip - You can still get epub ebook readers compatible with 1st, 2nd generation iPods for Project Gutenberg etc.

Although iBooks, Kindle, Nook, Stanza and Overdrive are no longer available for devices limited to iOS 3.1.3 and 4.2.1, you can still find ebook readers that work with the older iPhone or iPod Touch. Actually, there are several, but here's a free one I tried out:
BeyondPrint Reader
There is no need to get an Adobe ID if you want to use it only for Gutenberg public domain books. After you've installed BeyondPrint, launch Safari and go to http://www.gutenberg.org/ to search for a book. Then download one in the epub format. It will present you with a pop-up where you can choose BeyondPrint.
I'm hopeful that it will work with the DRM-protected books from the public library.

Here's an update to my last post I tried out a second epub reader called iDCL Reader. It is very similar to the BeyondPrint Reader. Both are versions of the Bluefire reader.
I was very curious to see if it could open epub files from my local library, the County of Los Angeles Public Library. They use a popular system called Overdrive, and the current version of their iPod app is not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. So after making sure that my old, working version of the Overdrive app was backed up, I deleted it from my iPod and launched Safari. I navigated too the Library's website, logged in to the Overdrive section and checked out a book (Homage to Catalonia, by George Orwell).
Sadly, it did not give me a pop-up window for downloading as the Gutenberg site did. Just a nasty error message. On to the next step.
I went to my Windows PC, and downloaded the book, which opened in Adobe Digital Editions, the reader app for deaktop machines. Then I opened iTunes and dragged the epub file to the file transfer area of the iDCL Reader. Then Synced the iPod.
And yes, it worked! You can read Adobe DRM-protected library eBooks without the official Overdrive app. Too bad it's not seamless the way it is with the Project Gutenberg books.

Are there any downloadable games still out there for 2nd Generation iPod?

I am searching for games that will download on an older iPod. Purchased two 2nd generation iPods on Ebay and am having trouble getting any games that are compatabile. Are there any still out there. Purchased these for 2 grandchildren. Help. Not only are there games, how do I download them. Can I do it from my computer? Can't find any in the app store on the iPod itself or have I just not looked hard enough.

They are there, but it's not easy to find these days. At least your iPod touch can run iOS 4.2. My old original iPhone can only run up to iPhone OS 3.1.3...
I used to be able to go into an app category in iTunes (on the computer), and sort the listing by release date, newest to oldest. Then, I could go to the end of the list, and the older apps/games would be the ones that worked with the older hardware and iOS versions. However, this method does not seem to work well anymore. The lists do not appear to go back far enough, so the apps at the end of the list are still fairly new.
I found an app recently. It's called VintApps. You can go to the App Store using iTunes on the computer and search for it. It costs 99 cents. I can set it to "filter" based on iOS limitation (and other factors). I can then browse in app categories (in the app), and it shows me lists based on the criteria. Selecting an app from the list provides its description. This lets me find apps that work with 3.1.3 (or 4.2 in your case)
Because older devices are slower (with a small screen), what I do is use VintApps on my iPhone to find something that looks interesting. Then, I use iTunes on my Mac to find that app in the App Store. If it looks good, I get it there (using my computer's iTunes) and sync it to my iPhone.

Will iOS5 become available for 2nd generation iPod Touch?

I thought iMessage would be the perfect solution for texting while I am abroad, only to find that 2nd generation iPod touch isn't compatible? That's ridiculous. Anyone know if it will become available??

same as for iphone3G which is hardwareside comparable to the 2nd gen touch.
iOS5 needs 256MB of Ram to start with, as well as certain features in the CPU that were not available before the iphone 3GS and the iPod touch 3rd gen.
So your device is now maxed out . Enjoy it as it is.

Ibooks for 2nd generation ipod touch

I have my daughter's old 2nd generation ipod touch and would like to use it for books and music only. The only problem is I can't get ibooks to download to it. Any suggestions?

Well you cant download books because the ibook app needs ios 5 and the 2g doesnt support later version of ios. The latest is 4.2.1.
But you can download and hear music on there.

HT1353 Can you download radio to the old 2nd generation ipod nano? There is no category for downloads, only stuff bought from iTunes.

My 3rd generation ipod nano has blanked out on me. I have a 2nd generation ipod, was able to download my music from my iTunes library on it, but it would not download radio programmes from my download library. There is no category on the ipod for downloads, is this because it doesnt accept them?

It depends on what you mean by radio programs exactly. Where were they originally downloaded from? Do they appear in the music category of your iTunes library?

Troubles with ITunes for 2nd Generation Ipod Touch.

My boyfriend bought me a new 2nd Generation Ipod touch for Xmas and I installed Itunes on my computer. It worked, but when I try to transfer songs over to the Touch it wont allow me, and shows a circle with a cross in it. I have it on manually sync music to Ipod touch and still it doesn't work. I tried using the itunes help menu but it failed me and didn't work either.
Could someone please help me? I have Windows XP, and the computer type is LG I believe. Any helpful info can be sent to [email protected] or too this thread. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

TA48312 update for ios on 2nd generation ipod touch

Please help!
I'm in need of an IOs update for the 2nd generation ipod touch.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, jbeaugh

Look on the back of the case. A 2nd gen iPod will have a 2008 Apple trademark on the back. 3rd gen will not. 2nd gen devices cannot be upgraded past iOS 4.2.1
That 3.1.2 would be your iOS version. Plug your device into iTunes and on the device About screen you will have the option to update your iPod. Hopefully this was what you needed. Good luck.

Does Apple plan to discontinue support/update for 2nd Generation iPod touch as latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1?

I have 2nd Generation iPod touch and latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1. Most of the Apps on iTunes now require iOS 4.3 at minimum. Isn't it outrageous that Apple is not supporting such iOS update for older iPod? Is there plan to discontinue such support?

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch too and I currently have 24 Apps that I cannot update. Unlike you however, I hold the App developers responsible for the fact that they (the App developers) are not supporting iOS 4.2.1.
It is the App devloper who decides to modify their App so that it then requires a particular version of the iOS. Since a developer can have a free and a paid version of an App, it begs the question why don't they have the older and newer versions.
I now check the requirements for an App before I click on update. If it still only requires iOS 4.2.1, then I can update. If it requires a higher iOS, the I simply don't update it. One good thing is that by now, most of the older Apps are quite stable and bug free, so the update is usually to give something extra. Since I cannot update the App, I simply forgo the "extras".

Can i trade in my 2nd generation itouch for a refurbished ipod nano?

Can I trade in my 2nd generation itouch for a refurbished ipod nano and still get the 10% discount?

Apple says:
Recycle your iPod at the Apple Retail Store.
Bring your old iPod to an Apple Retail Store and receive a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod.*
Note the word 'new" before iPod. I would say no but I would call/go to an Apple store and ask.
