2nd generation iTouch won't update to iOS 4. currently running 3.1.3

Help, I want to update my older iTouch for my kids to play on (and leave my iPhone alone), but most of the games in the app store require iOS 4+ and when I sync with iTunes, it tells me that I am running the most up-to-date verson. Is this true?

That sounds like it is a 1st generation iPod. Does it have external volume controls? If no, it is a first gen, and can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    You cannot.  ios 5 is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen ipod touch

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation won't update to iOS 5

    My sister has an iPod Touch 3 and it won't update to iOS 5. Everytime I check for an update, it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version". The apple website even says 3rd gen is compatible. Any help?

    More than likely, the iPod is a 2nd generation one, in which case iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 to identify which model your sister owns.
    (8GB or 16GB - it's 2nd gen. If it's a 32GB Touch you definitely need to check the linked page.)

  • HT4962 I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOS and it no longer seems to be recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. I want to update my sync settings but can't do this without being able to select the device. Any suggestion

    I have an Ipod touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOs and it is no longer recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. This means I can not change synch settings - any ideas on what I need to do ?

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • My 2nd Generation iTouch Wont Turn On, Even While Charged

    My 2nd Generation iTouch repeatedly turns off and displays the apple logo when plugged in, then immediately shuts off moments later. I dont understand why its doing this, only started today after signs of no problems. I cant connect the itouch to itunes because it wont turn on fully, only displays the Apple logo for a moment then shuts off, then restarts it back at the apple logo. Help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

    My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
    However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
    I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
    Any ideas?

    Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

  • Ipod Tough 4th Generation Apps Won't Update

    Hello,
    Just got the message to update some apps on my ipod.  Now it won't update to IOS 7, which is fine, but I've never had a problem with it not being able to update the apps.  It says it's no longer compatible.  I'm assuming that this is because the new apps are for IOS 7. 
    The find my phone is pretty important and I'm wondering if the fact that it won't update will hinder it from working properly.
    Also, the garageband & pages will not update as well, and I find it very handy to use it to put down ideas on my ipod and then transfer it to my computer.  Will the fact that it won't update cause compatibility issues with the computer as well, since I just updated it to Mavericks?
    Is any body else having this problem?
    Thank you for your responses.

    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    after that download the ipsw corresponding to your ipod. usoing link below
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/18/ios-7-ipsw-direct-download-links/
    After download hold the ipods home and power button for 15 seconds. itunes will detect an ipod in recovery mode. hold the option key and click restore. finder will pop up and find the ipsw via search and click on it and choose it.
    this should work

    My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
    I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
    The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
    Main questions:
    What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
    solvable problem(s)?
    Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
    ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
    thanks, Sim x

    i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
    i didnt think graphics could change via software updates
