4.0 update to my 2nd Generation iPod Touch reset all my games and notes etc

Did anyone else have this problem? My Notes and all of my apps were reset as though I just downloaded them. I lost important info. There must be a back-up file of everything somewhere and I would like to have help looking for it. Thanks! ;0)

Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and check if the backup listed there is from the time before the upgrade. If yes, restore from that one by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "restore from backup". More details about restoring can be found in these two help articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • How to install the iOS4.3 update on my 2nd generation ipod touch

    Hi, I just bought a 2nd generation ipod touch and am trying to install the Facebook app. It wont let me becuase "This app requires iOS4.3." Can someone help me out? Thanks!

    Unfortunately the highest possible iOS for the 2nd generation iPod Touch is 4.2.1.

  • How does one get past not updating on a 2nd generation iPod touch?

    My iPod touch 2nd gen. is stuck on the iOS 4.2.1 update and I'm just wondering if there's some way to get past this so I can get higher updates?
    I know it's not supposed to but is there anything I can do?

    "My iPod touch 2nd gen. is stuck on the iOS 4.2.1 update "
    That is correct.
    "I'm just wondering if there's some way to get past this so I can get higher updates?"
    no.
    "I know it's not supposed to but is there anything I can do?:"
    Still no.

  • 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.

  • 2nd Generation Ipod Touch Uses

    Greetings
    I want to buy a new iPod mp3 player (for less than 100$) and am not interested in playing the game of participating in persistent product obsolescence = Having to purchase a new iThing every 2 years for continued iOS update relevance.
    2nd Generation iPod Touches are becoming quite affordable for me, especially if you can fix something easy like the digitizer. This may be intriguing to me.
    I have read countless forums about people who are very upset about losing the ability to be engaged with the AppWorld due to their product iOS becoming obsolete. I AM NOT fueling that fire and have already learned about all that.
    What I want to know is what DOES work on an obsolete iPod Touch 2nd Generation.
    I use a PC with iTunes for my music, and would like to load my music from my PC onto this iPod Touch consistantly.
    Is it safe to assume that despite being an old iOS, it still can function the following:
    - an iTunes/mp3 player
    - videos
    - internet via wifi
    - others?
    Thanks

    There are still some apps that work with iOS 4.2.1 and a 2G iPod

  • Apps on 2nd generation iPod Touch crashing

    The apps on my 2nd generation iPod Touch are increasingly slowing down and/or crashing.  The local Apple store rep said a) apps updated for 4th generation iPods overtax my 2nd generation hardware and therefore b) I must buy a new iPod.  Is anyone experiencing this problem?  Does Apple really expect me to buy new hardware every time its software upgrades automatically render my hardware obsolete?

    Did you already try to reset your ipod by holding your sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing this, but it can cure some glitches.
    Usually apps not meant for your iOS version can't be installed on your device. I tried this on my ipod, you can select the apps for a higher iOS, but they won't install.
    If resetting does not help, set it up "as new device" without using the latest backup, in case you would be reinstalling damaged files. How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

  • Why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on anymore ?

    why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS1382 I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch with a screen that doesn't ligbI8 hiijhbvvcfghhcbbjht up and at times it returns to the home screen while typing such as in facebook.  Any suggestions?

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch.  Lately the screen will not light up and also at times while typing it returns to the home screen (such as in facebook. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried any of the usual 5 R's for troubleshooting.  See here for more information.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    If none of those resolve the issue (including restoring the device back to factory defaults), the backlight issue is likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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".
