HT1353 I have the 2nd generation IPOD touch.  I have always been able to use apps such as Facebook and Pinterest.  However now it says I must have IOS 4.3 update requirement bit when I check for updates on ITunes when hooked up to computer says updates co

My IPod touch 2nd generation always was fine with apps such as Facebook and Pinterest but now they say it needs updates IOS 4.3 but when hooked up says updates are complete and now I can't use some apps like Facebook.

To my knowledge the second gen iPod touch cannot update past 4.2.1.  App developers are probably requiring newer versions of iOS for their newest apps.  Sorry, but your device is becoming incompatible.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is the 2nd generation ipod touch compatible with ios5?

    Is the 2nd generation ipod touch compatible with ios5?

    No, it is not.
    EOL should end with iOS 4.2

  • Will Apple someday make iOS5 available to the 2nd generation iPod Touch?

    I know that iOS5 will only be available to 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touches. Is it possible that Apple can develop a slightly down-graded version that has some of the new features so that users with 1st and 2nd generations can enjoy them?

    I believe the "slightly down-graded" version of iOS 5 would be iOS 3 or iOS 4.

  • I have the 2nd generation ipod touch and my screen went black and wont do anything what could be wrong?

    Have you try to:

    > Plug it to your computer?
    > Hold the Power button to turn on?
    If so and none work, you may need to replace your battery.
    iPod Owners
    Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPod purchase with the AppleCare Protection Pan for iPod. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and classic), $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
    Source: http://www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
    NOTE: If you do get the battery replaced yourself, becareful when removing the screen because there is a special cable connecting to the iPod itself and the screen and its very fragile. If that break, then you also need to replace the screen as well.

  • Is there a reason why you cannot update further than a 4.2.1 on the 2nd generation ipod touch?

    I have an iPod touch that is 2nd Generation. I have seen that you cannot update past a 4.2.1. I want to know why. Why can you not update further?
    I feel many Apple users get very disappointed in the way the system works. They pay so much for the products and it only gets them so far. it is ridiculous.
    I will NOT proceed to buy Apple products if I am going to continue to be disappointed when promised so much.

    I understand where you're coming from. It's really frustrating, because without the latest iOS version its hard to get practically every app because Apple says that the iPod's version is incompatible or that we don't have the newest version. It hard because I feel like I'm not getting the most out of my iPod. But maybe Apple will be able to fix things later on down the road.

  • How much is the 2nd generation ipod touch

    how much is the new ipod

    apple does not sell ipod touch 2Gs any more but you can find some on ebay or some other buy/sell website.

  • I recently bought the first generation ipod touch, but it doesn't work. I've tried restarting over and over, i've tried switching cables too. The apple logo stays on the screen and freezes, it then shuts down and repeats. My laptop doesnt recognize it.

    Please help
    I bought it through a mutual friend.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    - Next reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    and try making a backup again. If you can't then there is no way of getting the info off the iPod unless data recovery company can do it. Not cheap.
    - If photos are in an existing iPod backup (iTune>Preferences>Devices  for iTunes backup or an iCloud backu) then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • TA48312 update for ios on 2nd generation ipod touch

    Please help!
    I'm in need of an IOs update for the 2nd generation ipod touch.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance, jbeaugh

    Look on the back of the case. A 2nd gen iPod will have a 2008 Apple trademark on the back. 3rd gen will not. 2nd gen devices cannot be upgraded past iOS 4.2.1
    That 3.1.2 would be your iOS version. Plug your device into iTunes and on the device About screen you will have the option to update your iPod. Hopefully this was what you needed. Good luck.
