HT201210 Can a used iPod touch 2G be updated?

I purchased a used iPod touch 2nd generation for my son's birthday.  I tried to update it, but it gave an error message that it couldn't be updated.  Is this a normal problem?

The 2nd generation iPod Touch can be upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.

    Can I use ipod touch 5th to mirror my screen on Apple TV via Airplay with out wifi connection?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay
    With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
    * iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
    * Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
    To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

    Can i us my ipod touch 3/8g by drive-by-wire earphone(such as shuffle's) ?
    If i use it

    Check it out that earphone compatibility and it does not work with iPod shuffle (Gen3).
    Therefore, this is normal.

  • Can I use iPod Touch apps on the iPad Mini?

    I have purchased iPod touch apps and movies for my iPod and now would like an iPad Mini. Can I use all of my old apps to transfer them to my iPad Mini?

  • Can I use iPod Touch Wifi & Airtunes,without switching off Internet Sharing

    I've got an Aiport Express connected to my stereo to stream my music library via Airtunes. It is away from my computer and does not have an internet connection hardwired to it. I would like to be able to use my iPod Touch to connect to the Airport Express, which would then wirelessly connect to the Airport Card in my mac, thus allowing the Touch to share the internet of my main computer.
    Currently I can connect my Touch to the Airport card in my computer by turning on Internet Sharing, but when I do this, I lose the ability to stream my music to my Airport Express.
    Can I somehow configure to stream music from my base computer AND surf the internet on my Touch via the Airport Express' wifi connection?
    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks Scott, Was thinking that might be the case, but was hopeful.
    So, if I accept the fact that I can't use Airport Express to share internet that way, how about this related issue? I can connect my Touch by wifi to my computer's Airport Card by turning on Internet Sharing. However, when I do this I can no longer stream music from my computer's iTunes to my Airport Express connected to my stereo. The remote speakers disappear from the iTunes selection box. In order to get them back, I have to turn off internet sharing. And then Touch wifi stops working. Is there a reason that only once function would work at a time? Or do I have something configured incorrectly?
    Thanks!

  • Windows 7 - can't use ipod Touch

    I recently installed Widnows 7 on my Pc and have not been able to use my touch with it since. When I first plugged my ipod touch in it was recognized as a camera. I had this issue with Vista when I first bought my touch. The fix I used back then did not work this time. I then tried updated to iTunes 9 and it kept getting an error at the end and couldn't install. After completely uninstalling iTunes I was finally able to install iTunes 9. Now, when I plug in my touch I get the message that Apple Mobile Device Service needs to be updated. I am told to uninstall both iTunes and AMDS. I have done this a few times and keep getting the same message everytime I plug in my touch. I no longer see AMDS in my list of installed progams. HELP!!

  • Can i use ipod touch 5's charger instead of ipadmini's???I'm in hurry!!!

    I'm in hurry!!!!!!!

    Assuming the iPad mini is not the Retina display version yes you can use the iPod charger with it.
    If the Mini has a retina display it requires more power than the iPod charger can provide.  It still may charge, but will be very very slow.

  • Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    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.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
