How to get IOS 5 on ipod touch 2g

I have an ipod touch 2g and want ios 5 on. I know it is not compatiable for ios 6 but i'd like ios 5 as i can not get facebook apps because i only have ios 4. How do i download it on my ipod?

Your current iOS version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version. You can check if there is an update available for it by connecting it to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on the Summary tab clicking the Check For Updates button.
If there is an update, then before your start the update process first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.

  • How to get iBooks on Ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1

    Ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1 but can't install new iBooks as it is supported from iOS from 5.0.
    But my iPod can't be upgraded from iOS 4.2.1.
    Please suggest how to proceed on this.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Unless you downloaded and still have an older compatible version of the iBooks app somewhere (e.g. on your computer or on a backup) then you won't be able to use the app - only the current version of each app is available in the store.

  • How to get back stolen Ipod Touch?

    JUST lost my Ipod touch. well I was at the park..we had "practice" today(dancing) & well I brought my brothers. brother was touching it & left it on top of my bag. there were these 2 girls one was bout my age(12) & one was like probably 9? later brother walked home but I stayed awhile then when I was bout to go home I notice it was gone..had a fear they(the girls) took it but also thought my brother took it. so went walking & brother came & I asked if he had it & he said no. went back & asked instructor & others. I trust they wouldn't take it..so one of an older guy friend looked for it but couldn't find it. Instructor said that if he found it he would keep it til I come again. SO I am pretty sure they took it. I have my tracking device on.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • How to get apps for ipod touch 3g

    I have ipod touch 3g. Recently i  have restored it without backing up. Other words, i lost all apps that i had. So, now i cannot install any apps because all of them have the newest IOS. Where can i find apps with old IOS for ipod 3g?
    Thank you.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    For the apps you had:
    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.

  • How to get music off ipod touch 5 and onto new hard drive

    Help.
    My PC crashed. I have an itunes acct. I was able to back up most music to external hard drive - except that which was more recently purchased by son through his ipod touch 5 (that he got for Christmas.)
    I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive...
    I have a new laptop. Itunes is not yet installed on it.
    I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs...
    Is this right?
    Or do my libraries still exist?
    I would really feel most comfortable if I could just get the songs off of his IPod and into back up before I install ITunes on the new laptop.
    I can always re-import the songs back into Itunes, can't I?
    I am not too computer savvy - please consider in reply.
    Thanks all!

    "I see that ipod touch 5 will not open as an external storage device in order to download and back up songs to external hard drive or flash drive..."
    Correct.  The iod touch is not a backup/storage device.
    "I am afraid that if I do install the Itunes - then he plugs in his Ipod to sync - he will sync to an empty folder - thus erasing his songs..."
    Also correct.
    "Or do my libraries still exist?"
    Your library will only be where you put them.  You shoudl always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
    Copy everything from the backup copy to your new computer.

  • How to get Facetime on iPod touch 4 (Dubai Model)

    My iPod Touch doesnt have facetime icon(app) as it was bought in Dubai where facetime was banned. I have updated, restored, but cant get facetime back (I am  am using in India where there is no BAN)
    So is there anyway of getting FACETIME ,i know there is Tango, Skype, Fringe, free apps which are absolutely amazing, but what about Facetime?

    If you bought your device in a country that does not support FaceTime, you can't add it back by restoring. The ipod will be identified during the restore process and the installation of this app will be blocked.

  • How to get Column Browserfor  iPod Touch to work in  iTunes 11

    The Column Browser for an iPod Touch device displayed correctly in iTunes 10 but now seems disabled in iTunes 11. 
    Is there anyway to enable the Column Browser for an iPod Touch device in iTunes 11?
    I use the Column Browser extensively for the Device management.
    The iPod Touch is configured in iTunes to Manually Manage contents.
    By the way, the Column Browser displays for my iPod Nano Gen 2 in iTunes 11.

    So fiend, you have iTunes 11, WIndows 7 and are able to conjure up a column browser on your iPod classic using Ctrl+Shift+B?
    What is it that you're doing 'right'?
    Hhhmmm! My apologies, but since I believed we had already covered this point, I read your comment as does not work in iTunes - not "does not work on iPod Classic in iTunes". Two different things. Possibly, my confusion was your use of the word "lame". It implies that you believe I'm stupid. (Don't worry, I know I'm not!)
    I thnik we have established that the column browser cannot be displayed on the Classic when it is connected to iTunes. But I think you'll find there is an alternative. See my response to Community_User at 4:07 this afternoon.
