How can I improve the performance of my iPod touch 2nd gen?

It is very slow!

- All you can do is reset the iPod,. Nothing is 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.
- Also periodically power off and then back on the iPod to free up memory.

HT4972 how do you update the ios on the ipod touch 2nd generation

Can someone show me how 2 update my ios

If it's running an iOS version prior to 4.2.1, it needs to be updated from iTunes on a computer. If it's running iOS 4.2.1, it can't be updated further.

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ? Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
Otherwise try:
- 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.

How do I delete ebooks in Archives on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

The ebooks I've downloaded are listed in my iPod Touch 2nd Gen Archives. Since they are mostly Library books they cannot be read again.
1. How do I delete these books?
I do not have Wi-Fi, but use the Library to download books.
I sync my iPod Touch 2nd Gen with my iMac Snow leopard OSX 10.6.8
My current downloads are through Kindle software (Amazon), others with Eucalyptus...
Bringing up my acct through iTunes and clicking Kindle... NONE of the many books in ARCHIVE on iPod Touch are listed in the iTunes Kindle icon, nor is the Eucalyptus icon shown in this box. However, Eucalyptus is shown in the list of software icons.
It's no big deal if this Archived Listing on iPod Touch Gen 2 is not taking up any memory, but if it is, I'd like these books to be deleted.
Thank you for your advice. Frances

That answer is where the problem comes in....
They are NOT AUDIO books, they are just plain normal e-books, for reading.
They do not show up on any lists on iTunes.
I would suppose that only someone who downloads ebooks from the Library would know
how to delete books from the Archives on iPod 2nd Gen. Audio books are handled differently.
Thank you for trying. Frances

How to i update my ios for my ipod touch to 5.0.1

I have another ipod touch and ipad with version 5.0.1 and I want to update my other ipod touch to the same version, so we can share all of our apps. However, I am forced to try to update to version 6.0.1 -
I cannot update to this version. I have tried countless times via hooking up the ipod to the computer and it says it will take 3 hours. Hours later, no error message and the update is not completed. I thought maybe I would try updating to vers 5.0.1 - but cannot find where I am able to do this.

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. There is a link to download 5.0.1.

How much will apple give me for my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Just wondering how much apple would give me for my old Ipod touch because i was thinking of buying the new ipod touch instead

You can trade in your older iPod Touch for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one, but that's it. You would be much better off selling it through eBay or Craigslist and using the proceeds from that to purchase a new one.

How can I get apple to warranty my iPod touch 4th gen? It has always had issues and seems to be a lost cause. Will not connect to wi-fi. It also has cracked screen, but that is not the issue.

It has a cracked screen also but that is not the issue. I am willing to live with the screen

Unfortunately, ANY signs of 'neglect or damage' automatically become the cause of any issues you're having. As in it doesn't matter if your screen was flickering before it was dropped, when they see the dent or cracked screen, that screen flicker was caused by the drop. Because they have no way to know if you are telling the truth (it's nothing personal, they just literally dont' know) so any signs of damage become the reason for your issue. The only way out of that is if you had taken in your iPad and, even if you didn't get it replaced, an apple employee can have documented that yes, that issue existed before the drop.
It's not fun, I know, but that's just how it is. Any signs of 'neglect or damage' and that 'neglect or damage' is the cause of your issues.

Is there a way to update my IOS on a Ipod touch 4th gen without Itunes

so is there anyway to do it? because i dont want to loose my ipods data. and itunes wants me to reset it since i havnt updated my ipod in over a year because i reinstalled my OS and now it does not reconise my ipod touch

If you still have iOS 4 then do this:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
When you restore the iPod from backup as the article says the iPod will also be updated
