  • How to install the 'january update' apps on a second ipod

    I have two ipod touch and I recently bought in the iTunes Store the january update apps. On ipod one, which is connected with itunes on a mac, this smoothlessly installs. On ipod two, which is connected to a itunes on a win PC, I cannot get this upgrade to install. For both ipods I use the same itunes account.
    The itunes on the PC tells me that I allready downloaded the apps. This is true they reside on my mac. I than copied the 'itunes/mobile applications' folder from the mac to the windows: 'C:\Program Files\iTunes\Mobile Applications\iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa' location. Restart itunes and resynced. I get no complains but nothing happens, even restart of ipod does not help.
    Can anybody tell me how to solve this ?

    No, you can use it on as many as you own.
    We're actually (Chris CA) trying to get an answer from Apple on an official process for this.
    The problem lies in transferring and/or using on two computers you own with the same account...

  • How does one get past not updating on a 2nd generation iPod touch?

    My iPod touch 2nd gen. is stuck on the iOS 4.2.1 update and I'm just wondering if there's some way to get past this so I can get higher updates?
    I know it's not supposed to but is there anything I can do?

    "My iPod touch 2nd gen. is stuck on the iOS 4.2.1 update "
    That is correct.
    "I'm just wondering if there's some way to get past this so I can get higher updates?"
    no.
    "I know it's not supposed to but is there anything I can do?:"
    Still no.

  • 4.0 update to my 2nd Generation iPod Touch reset all my games and notes etc

    Did anyone else have this problem? My Notes and all of my apps were reset as though I just downloaded them. I lost important info. There must be a back-up file of everything somewhere and I would like to have help looking for it. Thanks! ;0)

    Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and check if the backup listed there is from the time before the upgrade. If yes, restore from that one by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "restore from backup". More details about restoring can be found in these two help articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

    My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps.  It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3.  How do I get that on this ipod?  This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch.  I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

    Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

  • 2nd Generation iPod touch OS 4.1 won't update or install apps. Help?

    Thank you for your time.

    Resetting your iPod should deleting the waiting and will probably solve your problem:
    Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT4972 Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch

    Hello Im JS.Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch. Thank You have a nice day.

    What update?
    iOS 5 is compatible with a 3G (as well as 4G) iPod. However, if you are stuck with 4.2.1 that indicates that you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to 4.1.2. See:
    Identifying iPod models
    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.

  • My 1st gen ipod shuffle, since the last update is seen as my ipod touch everytime I plug it in... any suggestions?

    My 1st gen ipod shuffle, since the last update is seen as my ipod touch everytime I plug it in... any suggestions?
    I have tried to clear temp folder, uninstalled, and reinstalled itunes version 10.5.1.42... ipod touch 4th gen is seen fine. But when I eject this and plug in my old shuffle... itunes still reports it as ipod touch.

    The only suggestion I have is to try and rename your device in iTunes to something else by clicking it's current name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and typing in a new one.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch.  I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1.  When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

    I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

    If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable).  A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
    This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
    There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.  And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.

  • How can a 2nd generation iPod Touch access the Cloud?

    I am a MobileMe user with a 2nd generation iPod Touch and a Macbook. I do not have an iPhone. I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and want to upgrade my iPod Touch to ios5 so I can be ready to switch to the cloud when MobileMe expires for my email, calendars, contacts, etc.—but nothing happens when I plug the iPod Touch into my computer. Can I download ios5 some other way? If not, how will I be able to access the Cloud when MobileMe quits?

    You can only upgrade 3rd Generation and 4rth generation iPod touches to IOS-5, sorry, see this page on the compatability: http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html

  • 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.

  • So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

    So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

    I must voice my total dissatisfaction here.
    My iPod touch 2nd gen is less than 3 years old - it can't run the latest iOS, My G5 tower at home can't run the latest OS. I am a .mac user (I have been since it started) but I can't migrate to iCloud and the .mac service is being deprecated. Everything is considered too old to update.
    Well - I can update in fact - if I buy a new Mac and a new iPod. This means essentially throwing away my old Apple hardware (again - I have 8 old Macs in the basement). I'm pretty sick of finding myself in this situation. I run both Macs and PCs - one of my development PCs here is still running WIndows 98 very well!
    So what I am likely to do is cancel all my Apple services and mothball all my Apple products, as I can't really afford the luxury of upgrading all my hardware (over £2500) just so my calendars and contacts will sync across my devices. I'm likely to migrate to Windows to do this. Painful.
    Shameful behaviour from Apple in this age of concern over excess consumption and excess waste production. You've lost (another) long-term Apple devotee and evangelist.
