Can my 2nd generation itouch be upgraded to ios 6

I am trying to install facebook to my iTouch but it says i need to upgrade to ios 6..   can that be done with this 2nd generation model / 32GB?

See below:
It doesn't appear you can, and you must have a Touch 3rd Gen if you are running 5.1.1.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • Can I restore 1st generation data to 2nd generation iTouch?

    My teens 1st gen iTouch was stolen but good thing is a recent sync and backup is on her Mac so we have everything. I just got her a 2nd generation iTouch and before I do anything I wanted to ask as I know I can easily mess this up.
    When I hook it up for the first time and I assume it asks to restore or treat as new what should I do to ensure her purchased music and apps get put on her new iTouch?
    Thanks for helping an old guy out here to look good to save his daughters iPod data. :O)

    Thank you for the reply. I also found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    At the bottom of the article it has:
    Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup
    If you upgrade or otherwise replace your device with a newer device, you may be able to restore the previous backup to the new device. For upgrading from the original iPhone to iPhone 3G, see these instructions. You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device.
    Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new device, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
    I will try your suggestions and am sure all will be fine.

    I have a 2nd generation itouch.  Is there any way I can sync it to my MacBookPro 10.6.8 without purchasing either a newer itouch or an iphone?

    No problem. It will sync fine. You do not need to do anything special.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Help setting up 2nd generation  itouch

    Just got a used 2nd generation itouch. When trying to set up itouch it says we need 10.1 itouch or newer.  I have downloaded the 10,3 put it still gives me the same message when trying to set it up.  Please help.

    I am having the same sort of problems as you - and I have not been able to resolve my problems as yet. The document which was referred to earlier might be helpful, but I have not been able to get this to work, and Apple don't seem to offer any real Postfix support. I can get outgoing mail to work but incoming mail is always rejected for one reason or another (550 nu such mailbox is the usual problem).

  • 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.

  • ITouch 2G upgrade to iOS 4.2

    I have the 2nd generation iTouch running IOS 3.1.3 and not able to find a way to upgrade it to IOS 4.2.   I have tried iTunes "check for updates" but it keeps saying that there are no updates available.   Model: MB376C.   Without upgrading, there are very limited apps available.   Thanks!

    Sorry, you actually have a first generation unit, and 3.1.3 is the highest possible.

  • I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6...?

    I can't update my apps after upgrade to iOS 6

    Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
    Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
    Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!
