Can I still upgrade a 2nd gen iPod touch to 4.2.   version 4. Is it worth it?

Read that some don,t like it.  I primarily run HandBase on it to keep records.  I also own an iPad 1 running 4.3.2.

Yes. However, it does make the iPod a little slower. It is up to you.

  • If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

    I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

    Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

    I have removed all photos, music, apps and podcasts, but it still keeps freezing at the backing up stage.

    Don't know why you would.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod Touch won't upgrade

    Hi, I purchased my 2nd gen Ipod Touch in 2009 and since then I was able to upgrade to 3.1.2. A year ago when I tried to upgrade higher, itunes would take forever to back up. A small loading window appeared and it stayed that way for hours. Itunes crashed.
    Yesterday I was able to complete a successful manual backup of my ipod touch using the latest itunes software. This time itunes didn't crash and it lasted 15 hours.
    But when I clicked on the upgrade button again, the small window appeared and itunes froze again. Before doing this I also made sure to have 2.3 GB of capacity available and I got rid of my largest apps.
    Is it possible to upgrade to 4.0? I have read previous discussions and people don't have a problem with upgrading. 
    I use Windows XP and I downloaded the latest itunes.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch YouTube app can't search YouTube

    2nd gen iPod touch can't search YouTube through the YouTube app. I'd really appreciate some help in resolving this problem.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

  • 2nd gen iPod Touch - can earphones with mic be used?

    My daughter just got a 2nd gen Touch. She wants to buy some apps that use a microphone for input. I realise the 2nd gen doesn't come supplied with inline mic earphones (as opposed to the 3rd gen, which does), but can she buy any brand of earphone with inline mic and expect them to work?
    Or does she need official Apple ones?

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch with the 3.1 software loaded. I don't see a menu available to pair a Bluetooth stereo headset. Is this capability available on the 2nd gen ipod touch?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?

    Hi,
    Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?
    If Apple cannot help us, what is the alternative without us hacking the device?

    Even hacking it you cannot go further than the equivalent to 4.2.1. The only thing Apple could possibly do is add more RAM.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch - do I need to use Google calendar now?

    I've updated my Mac to OSX 10.7.2 but I've not upgraded to iCloud, because I have a 2nd gen iPod touch.
    As I've read Apple has not including calendars support for these, do I need to use Google calendar now?
    I had Mac's for 15 years and even subscribed to MobileMe
    If they're dumping my 2 year old bit of kit it's a poor show, I will keep it going as it still does a job for me, it's a shame I'll may have to move away from apple and I guess iTunes too.

    That I know I've read that but unless someone comes up with a work around, before then, I'll move to google or yahoo calendars.
    I'm Mac through and through, a total fan but like alot of people these day I'm having to cut back, yes it's nice I'm not paying the mobileme sub anymore but I can't justify buying a new ipod or stretching to an iphone.
    Maybe I having to grow away from Apple.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch, 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8 - Any Point in iCloud?

    I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, and a 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8
    I've used .Mac/MobileMe since 2008 and I have all of my documents on iDisk. If I upgrade to iCloud, what is going to happen? I know all of my stuff will be in the cloud, but will I be able to access it in any way with this equipment?
    In short, is there any point in me upgrading to iCloud?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need Lion to run iCloud, if your MacBook can't be upgraded to Lion, it can't run iCloud.
    ICloud does not replace iDisk, which you could continue to use until it is retired in June 2012 (with or without upgrading to iCloud)

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

    2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

    Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
    Then try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong
