Email for ipod touch 2g on iOS 4.2.1

I have an ipod touch 2g which has iOS ver 4.2.1..thats the max available for this device.Since there are no apps on the app store compatible with ipod touch 2g , it has been reduced to a music player only. I was wondering If I can still use the mail app and link my mail accounts,my concern since the os is outdated it may have security issues ( I heard similar things about vulnerabilities in the browser as well ).

email and Safari and existing app work fine. Just keep using what you can.

Sound Distortion (without earphones) for IPod Touch 4g (16gb) iOS 6.1.3

Hello,
I have a problem with one or more songs on my IPod Touch 4g iOS 6.1.3
Today I was listening to my music so I said why not I just update my music, add new info and add new music while I'm at it. So while I was doing that a song happened to come on that I liked so I decided to press repeat and continue doing what I was doing, so I just happened to look down at my IPod to see that some of the information on the song that I was listening to was incorrect. So I went into ITunes to correct the information while I was still playing the song, pressed sync then the next thing I knew when the song came back on it was distorted oh and I forgot to say all this happened (without) earphones, but anyway so when I heard that I deleted the song out of ITunes and re-synced my IPod to delete the song off of it, went back re-added the song back to ITunes and re-synced my IPod and it still sounds the same. Ok my problem isn't with the song it's self, my problem is I don't understand why when I play the song on other devices the song is ok and fine but when I play it on my IPod (without) earphones it's distorted and washed out but when I plug earphones in it's fine, and YES I DID reset my IPod and it's still happening and also when I play the song in ITunes on my laptop it's fine. Help!
P.S This has never happen before and It's brand new 1 month 1/2 old straight from APPLE.COM and also this song has been on here since I've had it so all of this is new and just happened today. 05/02/2013
Thanks,

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Are there Internet radio apps for iPod Touch 1st gen iOS 3?

Would love to make use of this 1st gen iPod Touch by accessing both commercial and Internet-based radio stations (like TuneIn Radio). But most require >=iOS 4
I've spent a LOT of time searching but it's a one-at-a-time process. Can anyone help?
Cheers and TIA for any advice.

I am not aware of any such apps.

Cannot verify email for ipod touch

the link to verify my email is not recognized any suggestions?

Thanks, g-smoke. I have applied for a Mexican credit card, which I should receive next Thurs.
In answer to your four things: 1) yes, my CC is a Visa 2) My credit limit is far higher than I've ever needed; plus I have no problems with non-Apple purchases; 3) I verified my security card with a call to the bank issuing my card; 4) iTunes store is available in Mexico (but not the music part.)
I have already called Apple USA, Apple Mexico, and my local Apple store. Apple USA and Mexico focused on the need to be very precise in entering all fields. I even changed my official address with the credit card in order to make it "fit" the Apple Mexico iTunes store format better. The Apple store technician here, however, agrees with me that there is an Apple inherent conflict between the fact that my credit card is USA based, but my billing address is in Mexico. The billing address being Mexican is a requirement per the Apple site information--and that is precisely what I have.
Thanks so much for the iTunes site. In all my perusals, I'd not seen that one yet. I sent them an email, and might get a response in another day or so.
I'd like to add that this problem is the reverse of one I had late last year with Apple USA. At that time, Apple refused to make an order for me because my billing address was in Mexico, and Apple seemed unwilling to believe that my credit card was indeed a USA credit card. (I was planning a laptop purchase for a USA trip--a perfectly legal item to bring into Mexico.) So, I walked into Apple SF, and had no trouble using the same credit card to buy a laptop off the shelf--not the configuration I'd wanted to special order, but. . . .
Also of interest--the company from which I bought the digitally transmitted iTunes card is, after investigating the issue, processing a refund to my account.

Ipod touch 2g w/ iOS 4.2.1 can't find apps compatible

I am really disappointed that it is so difficult to find current apps available for ipod touch 2g with iOS 4.2.1
it seems that apple should make it easier to find apps and make more current apps available for the older models. I am especially wanting google apps. Google voice, talkatone, google drive, google maps... but can't find any compatible with my ipod touch 2g

Hey, that's pretty cool. It's certainly better than my meager interface (iOSSearch). I'll probably link to it from my page, so long as you intend to keep it advertising-free.
Also, I can't see how the filtering is done. I think you should put in an information page with your search terms, because they are very specific and easy to mess up. I missed an oddball search term for quite a while, and I'm still not 100% sure I'm getting everything.
I see you decided to cough up for a custom domain! Pretty fancy.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

Hey just have a quick question that is ios7 coming on ipod touch 4g I heard that you guys didnt design ios 7 for ipod touch 4g so are u gonna design it or its never gonna come for ipod touch 4g

hey guys just have a simple question that i heard that ios 7 is not gonna come for ipod touch 4 they didnt design it for ipod touch 4 so are you guys designing it or its never gonna come for ipod touch 4g.
Thanks,

As posted on Apples website since early June, the ipod touch 5th gen is the ONLY ipod that can handle ios 7.
No other ipod has the required hardware.

Pls bring out ios 7 for ipod touch 4g pls sir......

Sir u requested to pls bring ios 7 for ipod touch 4g sir very exited for that but got depressed when read that ipod touch 4g not compatible with ios 7
pls pls pls sir
frm regards

The hardware on the 4G can't support iOS 7.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
Also, you are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself.

When does ios 7 come out for ipod touch?

when does ios 7 come out for ipod touch?

It's already out.
Give this a try:
Download iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.
Note that the update servers are under heavy strain today.

How do i get an older ios for ipod touch?

how do i get an older ios version for ipod touch?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.
