Can 2nd Gen iPod run on newest iOS?

Was given a used 2nd Gen iPod Touch, can't download any apps because it says I don't have iOS 3.2....how do I update my iPod to get the newest apps?? And if I can't do that....how do I know what apps I can download???

I have the most updated iTunes I believe (10 dot something I think---not on the same computer right now).
My computer has Windows Vista on it.
I looked at updating a 1 G ipod, but the ipod I was given already has those updates...meaning either A) it is a 1G and was updated or is a 2G. It has the all silver back if that means anything.
Well, to solve all my problems I just asked for the most updated ipod touch for Christmas. Until then...all I can do I guess is download my cd's to this ipod.
Thanks though!!

  • 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.

  • Cannot update 2nd gen ipod touch to ios 4.0

    I have a 2nd gen ipod & cannot update to ios 4.0 which I need to download & replace some apps which were deleted in error.  Have tried twice - first time it timed out & 2nd time there was an error msg which threatened to delete all content from the ipod.  have tried updating itunes on the pc.  Help!

    When you update your iPod, iTunes must remove all content from the device in order to proceed with the update.  Once the updated has been successfully installed, it then resyncs everything from your iTunes library back over to it as it was before.
    So as long as all of your content that is currently on your iPod is still in your iTunes library, you should have no worries proceeding with the update and letting iTunes temporarily remove and resync your content.

  • Can I put iOS 5 on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

    Hello, I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I cannot get any apps because I have an older ios. Can anyone help me?

    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 released, 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.

    Nothing.  The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life.  If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

  • 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.

  • I've searched to no avail for this problem. Similar posts but none that tell me what to do. I can't add or delete any bookmarks on my iPad 2 running the newest iOS. I know how it's suppose to work, it just isn't working!

    I've searched to no avail for this problem. Similar posts but none that tell me what to do. I can't add or delete any bookmarks on my iPad 2 running the newest iOS. I know how it's suppose to work, it just isn't working!
    It started after the major update to iOS 7.
    I can't believe that this is so hard to do. It's just not letting me. I can add a bookmark to the home screen just fine, just not in a bookmarks folder anywhere I try.
    I've used Apple products since 2001 and have always loved how intuitive they are. But the Safari browser since iOS 7 has been the worst I've experienced. At least right in the beginning after that update.
    I'd really appreciate any help that doesn't just tell me how it's suppose to work...I know that.
    My iPad 4 is not affected with the problem and works as it should.

  • Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

    I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
    This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
    When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
    OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
    Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.
    david.

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
