HT1353 Ipod Touch Trouble

I have a second generation ipod and I'm trying to get a messaging app but it says 'update required' 'this app requires a 4.0 iOS?? How do I get an iOS?

Update the iPod. To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

  • IPod Touch Troubles: Tried Various Fix Methods and None Work

    Well anyways, when I first bought my iPod Touch there was a problem regarding this, but was resolved in a matter of hours. Now the same problem cam back, and keeps coming back every day. Onto the problem. Now sometimes when I try to turn my iPod on, it won't turn on and the only way to get it working is to put it into recovery mode. While in recovery mode there is no way to restore or update my iPod (even after entering DFU mode) the only way to get it working from this point is to let the iPod "cool-down" by a long term of inactivity and hoping for the best when I press the power button. Another problem with it is that sometimes while using the iPod it freezes up on a song, or while I'm using the touch screen to navigate. The freeze sometimes displays a blank white screen and this also forces me into putting the iPod into restore mode and the only temporary fix is the one I mentioned earlier. Sometimes it even freezes when I connect/disconnect it from the computer. So DFU mode restore doesn't seem to work when I can actually get it to restore and so doesn't regular. The iPod itself isn't jailbroken or hacked or anything, just having major bugs. Now I bought the iPod at around December at a Target and I'm still looking for the receipt. Is there anything I can do to solve these problems, or Apple could do about them? (My next bet was bringing it up to the Apple Store and hoping they could do something) Please respond, and thanks for the help.

    It's time to have your iPod serviced.
    You can set up an appointment with a Mac Genius (http://apple.com/retail) or call AppleCare.

    Your problem is very likely cased by the jailbreak. Jailbreaking means tha you will not get any support from Apple including from this Apple forum.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize Ipod Touch 4g

    I purchased my daughter a brand new Ipod Touch 4G last weekend.   When we connect the new Ipod Touch to my daughters computer, Itunes won't recognize her Ipod Touch.   However, I can attach her Ipod Touch to two other computers and it recognizes without problem.
    When I plug in the Ipod touch to her computer, it makes a noise indicating it has recognized something is plugged in but nothing is recognized in Itunes.
    And what is more strange is her computer will recognize four other Apple devices without problem (an I Phone 4G, an I Phone 3G, an I Pad 2 and a Ipod Touch 3G).
    I have completely gone through the recommended Ipod Touch Trouble Shooting steps 4 times now and have no success with the Ipod Touch recognized on my daughters computer.   I have completely removed all the Apple software (Bonjour, Itunes, Apple, etc.) and reinstalled.     I have even removed the anti virus software and it didn't help.
    I have also tried to completely erase the Ipod Touch holding down the Sleep Walk button and Home Button for 10 seconds.   After plugging in to her computer when indicated, I get an error message that the reset was not successful.
    It is so strange that her computer recognizes 4 other apple devices without problem and her Ipod touch is recognized by 2 other computers without problem.   There has to be a specific reason that it won't work on my daughters computer.
    Any suggestions beyond the Ipod Touch Trouble Shooting link?

    - First try placing the iPOd in recovery mode and resoring via iTunes on the computer: For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808- Then it is time for an appountment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  Sounds like you have a defective iPod.

  • What ebook reader can I use for ipod touch ios 5.1

    Hi,
    My ten year old grandson has an apple ipod touch 3rd generation (32gb) that he plays on and I would like to install an ereader app to it but every app I've found so far needs an ios of 6 or greater and his is 5.1. What happened in the year or so that he cannot use this thing. Do we have to fork out 2 to 300 bills each year just to keep up with apps? I'm retired, tired and just plain to old to find another job this late in life. If anyone knows of a site I can download an ereader I would heartily appreciate it. Thank you.+
