Upgrading software from 2.2 on a 2nd generation ipod touch

I have a 2nd generation IPOD touch and its saying its upgraded to the correct software which is 2.2, but I know it can upgrade to 4.0. There are some apps I want to use on it, but cant because the software is not upgraded high enough. Any advice on how I can get it upgraded to the latest software that it can take? I tried to restore it, but that did not work.
Thanks

It is easy to tell a 1G form a 2G from the shape of the antenea cover, the black plastic in the upper left of the back of the iPod.
A 1G can go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here

How to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
possible??

4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

WiFi on 2nd generation iPod Touch times out

The WiFi for my 2nd generation iPod Touch is connected, but the internet is either excruciatingly slow, or times out every time I try to use it. I have a full signal and I've tried resetting the network settings as well as the iPod setting, but neither has made a difference. How do I fix this without spending money?

I took it into the Apple store and was told it could be a hardware problem, and (of course) I'm out of warranty, so tough cookies. How does something like this happen? I haven't dropped it or spilled anything on it. All I've done is listen to music, download apps, play games and surf the internet -- why am I told "tough luck," because it decided to stop working after two years of gentle usage? Ugh. Hope this serves as a warning to others: Apple products are not really worth the pricetag if they give out after 2 years, so be weary.

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

You also may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:

HT4059 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I am trying to download ibooks onto. It is version 4.2.1. The app says it requires 5.0. Is there an older version I can put on the ipod so I can read books? And same with the kindle app.

How can I get the ibooks onto a 2nd generation ipod touch since it requires 5.0 and the version on the ipod is only 4.2.1? Surely, I should be able to read books on the 2nd generation ipod, right?

"Really? "
Yes.
"Is there any other way to access books on the ipod 2nd generation? "
No ibooks.
You can try a kindle reader.

HT4972 2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many of the Apps now available in the App store. Is there any way to find out which apps will work with 2nd generat

2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store? Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

Messaging app that works with 2nd generation ipod touch

I recently downloaded imessenger to my 2nd generation ipod touch but it was hours later and with the help of this forum, that I discovered it is not possible to use with my iOS. Does anyone know of a texting app that I can use?

You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

When i was waiting for an hour for itunes to grading my 2nd generation ipod touch to a 4.2.1 and it was about done, it suddenly said the network connection timed out and that made the upgrading a fail. Why does it do that? and what does it mean?

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Will iOS5 become available for 2nd generation iPod Touch?

I thought iMessage would be the perfect solution for texting while I am abroad, only to find that 2nd generation iPod touch isn't compatible? That's ridiculous. Anyone know if it will become available??

same as for iphone3G which is hardwareside comparable to the 2nd gen touch.
iOS5 needs 256MB of Ram to start with, as well as certain features in the CPU that were not available before the iphone 3GS and the iPod touch 3rd gen.
So your device is now maxed out . Enjoy it as it is.

Ibooks for 2nd generation ipod touch

I have my daughter's old 2nd generation ipod touch and would like to use it for books and music only. The only problem is I can't get ibooks to download to it. Any suggestions?

Well you cant download books because the ibook app needs ios 5 and the 2g doesnt support later version of ios. The latest is 4.2.1.
But you can download and hear music on there.

Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(
