How do I find apps for 2nd gen ipod

I've been trying to download games for my son on this ipod touch but almost every game needs iOS 4.3 or higher! I just bought this thing- how can I download older games for him?

It's probably like looking for software for my G4 computer. You have to hunt around in a slow and methodical process and realize that fewer and fewer people develop for older platforms. Right now about 95% of my software is no longer being updated for my platform. You just stick with the old stuff. Make sure you have it backed up because developers sometimes remove old versions from download.

How do I find Apps for 2nd gen Touch?

Recently I replaced my 2nd generation Touch with one of the same version from the Apple store because the battery died. Now I'm having trouble finding Apps that work on it. Most won't download and I get a message that says ios outdated. Any suggestions on how to find Apps that work?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

A way to get apps for 2nd gen ipod touch?

Well i posted before on this issue, i got my ipod screen replaced and i restored it, once i got it back i attempted to redownload all my apps from my purchased section of itunes, they all downloaded attempted to transfer to my ipod and only a few like 5 installed. Upon some research majorioty of the apps i bought and had updated to require ios 5 or at least above the max 2g 4.2.1. So now im out games i bought, and im not going to replace a perfectly fine ipod just because a requirement changed. I did not have any backup or previous sync as was using a new install of windows and itunes so nothing was backup. I was never notified on app update and to accept or decline it as they didnt ipdate from my pc files or from my ipod. Its the only way they can be downloaded from itunes and no way to download the old version that is compatible on my touch. I would of went to apple support but the get started button on the support screen is broke and when clicked does nothing, no loading signs just a broken button. This did not work with firefox or google chrome nor does it work with explorer. So beside i've been ripped off on my apps, apparently they dont want me contacting support, def feel like a valued customer

Trying to get the old versions of the apps, i paid for the apps and they previously worked with my ipod without a warning i no longer have a compatible device that can use these apps as the requirements changed, if i had a backup of the older versions i would have used them.
If u paid for something and it worked and then all the sudden u could no longer use it because some small change that you had no choice to do or not to do, and then ur money was spent on useless items ud be happy? I cant use facebook, unblock me, angry birds, or over half my apps and some that have no reason to be updated to iOs 5 as there are super simple games/apps.
Also since the support button does not work I'm trying to get the attention of a moderator or someone who can help me get some where.

Twitter App. for 1st Gen. iPod Touch

I recently was having problems with the Twitter App. on my 1st Gen. iPod Touch and so decided to delete the app and re-download it again, like I had done a week earlier. During the download an error message popped up stating that I need ios 6 or later to download the app. Apple had updated the Twitter App on March 10th and I tried re-downloading March 14th, however a week earlier I was offered the opportunity to download an earlier version of Twitter. I am currently only able to use Twitter via Safari. Does anyone out there have a solution to get the official Twitter App. (And no "Buy a newer iPod stuff"!)
Cheers
ps IF ANYONE FROM APPLE MANAGES TO SEE THIS CAN YOU PLEASE OFFER THE OPPRTUNITY TO DOWNLOAD LATER VERSIONS OF APPS FOR 1ST GEN IPOD TOUCH

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

Apple did not say why did not allow this option for iOS 3.1.3/1G iPod.
Apple does not monitor these forums. To make a suggestion to Apple:

TS1702 how do I find apps for the Ipod version 3.1.3 for the Ipod touch in Itunes?! Is there no more apps for the first gen Ipod? I've tried and tried and googled and can't find a single app that will install on this old Ipod. Please help!

I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.

ANY radio app for 1st gen iPod touch?? Even with Wifi!?

Firstly, I know the 1st gen ipod touch does not have a radio receiver..this is not my problem.
I've been looking for an app that I can listen to the radio on..even through wifi...but am not finding any that will work with the 1st gen. For example, I download TuneIn radio which I have on my itunes, blackberry, and tablet...but it is only compatible with newer generations of the ipod touch. I am on version 3.1.3 which I believe is the most up-to-date.
In short, I'm absolutely fine to use wifi to listen to the radio, but simply can't find an app (ideally a free one) that will even let me sync the app from my itunes to the ipod.
Suggestions would be very welcome!

Try my web app. I have over 100 stations of all genres. Just enter the following URL in Safari and tap on the orange music icon on top right. Also, you can add a Home screen app icon for easy future access.

Is there a system check app for 2nd generation iPod touch

I have an 8 GB iPod touch which I guess is just gneration 2 and not 3. Is there a system check app that will work on this iPod? Also how do apps shut down on this Ipod. On my newer 4th gen iPod you have to make them wiggle and then click the red "X".

You have a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.
I know on no system check app
As you found out, the 2G/iOS 4.2.1 and earlier do not support multitasking and then do not have the recently used app show up when you double click the Home button.
To shut down a n app just click the Home button to get to your Home screen

I deleted the applications on my 2nd gen iPod accidentally, now I can't download anything because everything's updated and the newest software isn't available for 2nd gen iPods?! What's the point of buying apple devices then?? They're meant to last long.

So basically, am I now suppose to throw the device away??
I was really disappointed in Apple when I found out that 1st and 2nd generation iPods cannot be updated. So my device is pointless now?
Or is there any kind of solution?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
Your iPod still plays music, gets and sends mail, surfs the web and does other things. to. It is old by electronics standards.

Buy a newer iPod. No, it's not stupid, iPod touch 2nd gen can only go up to 4.2 due to hardware restrictions.

How do i save apps for a crashed ipod

I tried to update my ipod touch to 5.1 from 4.1 earlier today. I thought it had worked after a few hours but i guess it had to start over. I tried to update again but it said backing up. it would back up for 10 minutes then go back to the screen where it said update or restore. i did this a few times and the last time it said there was an error. Now my ipod touch is stuck on a screen with a charger cord with an arrow pointing to an itunes logo. it cant get off this screen. I don't know if i backed up all my stuff. It said backing up a few times but it never fully updated or told me it had backed up all my data. I went to itunes on my computer and went to devices. on capacity, softwere version and serial number it says n/a. I can't update but i can still restore. i don't want to restore b/c i will lose my data and since i don't know if it is backed up, or tell if it is backed up, i can't get my apps and music back. i want to know if there is a way to save my apps and other data. I can't leave the screen with the charger and arrow and itunes logo. i can't sync with itunes either. all i can do is restore. i am fine with restoring if i can get my data back.
Is there a way to check if i backed stuff up?
Can i still back stuff up if i haven't?
Can i save my apps and other data?

You have been syncing and backing up on a regular basis, haven't you?
Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices
