Can't update my 2nd gen ipod touch from 3.1.2 to anything higher

I'm trying to update my ipod. During the update download it says my connection timed out after a 100% complete download ?
I just wan't my ipod updated to the new firmware so I can download newer apps.
Please help.
Thank you

Thank you. I will have to try that next time. I was able to finally get it to work by downloading the update seperatly to my computer. In iTunes before clicking the update button I held down the shift key and it let me choose my previously downloaded file. That finally worked instead of letting iTunes download it then error out ?? Oh well it works now. Thanks again for the tip, I really appreciate your response.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.

    Are you sure that you have a 2G iPod? Check here:

    I suspect you have a 1G iPod. Those can only go to 3.1.3. You can get that here:

  • 2nd gen ipod touch doesn't wake up regularly to receive email

    How can I get my 2nd gen iPod Touch (using ios 4.2.1 Build Version 8C148) to 'wake up' regularly to receive email (from my gmail account)? When the screen blanks (locks) while the wi-fi is on, it appears to also turn off wi-fi (I assume to conserve battery charge) until I unlock the screen, & therefore doesn't check for email every so often - I have to unlock screen & check manually. I want to know if there are iPod settings (I feel I looked over all possibilities, but could have missed something) or an app that can enable my iPod Touch to check for email every 10 minutes (while the screen is locked & there's enough charge in the battery) & if I receive one or more emails, generate the audio notification. [I tried several search phrasings on this support site & saw nothing similar to my request for assistance]
    Thanks.

    The only setting is to have Push turned on in the Settings>Mail. However, your problem may be related to Google stopping Push for Gmail

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch connect to new Accessories

    How can I connect my 2nd Gen iPod Touch to a NEW iHome Player which only has a lightning (male) plug?  Apple's $30 adapter is backwards. This implies NO old gen iPods will work with NEW accessories. Is this correct? 

    The iPhone comes with a one-year warranty at no cost. Anythime before that warranty is expired you can purchace an additional one year of coverage.

  • HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??

    i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

  • 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?
