HT4972 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and I cannot figure out how to get ios 4.2.1

I can'tdownload games or pandora without upgrading and I cannot figure it out

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • I have "hidden" my devices/USB access and now cannot figure out how to get them back on so I can re-access the USB files.  How do I do this?  (Is it just me, or should this be a reasonably simple task that shoul NOT require a post to the Apple community?)

    Under "Devices," I have "hidden" my USB access and now cannot figure out how to re-access or "show" USB access again.  Very frustrated right now--this is a high-use feature for me and it should NOT be so buried somewhere that I cannot find it.  So much for Mac's "intuitive" interface.

    Well, you have also "hidden" what version of OS X you are using from anyone who might want to help you.
    You are probably using a newer version than I am, but I don't know that these things have changed.
    In the Finder, from the Finder menu > Preferences …, there should be a Sidebar pane to choose what is visible.
    Also in the Finder, Go menu > Computer (or type Shift Command C) will open a Finder window with any attached volumes showing.

    I recent recieved and Ipod touch model A1213 and i cannot figure out how to get apps on it. I have tried everything i can think of and when i try to update my ipod software it tells me that its already up to date. even though its only 1.1.5. How do i fix it?

    You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
    It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

  • HT4972 I have a 2nd generation IPOD TOUCH

    I have a 2nd generation IPOD TOUCH How can I upgrade the software so I can use newer apps

    After so many years, all technology becomes obsolete. For mobile devices this cycle is even quicker. That iPod is now 5 years old and there have been many hardware advancements since then.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont let me download apps onto it is thir anything i can do

    When i am trying to download it says that i dont have the upto date software but when i click on the update button is says i am upto date ?
    Does anyone know if this can be fixed or if it is due to the model being old

    If you are running iOS 3.1.3, it is very likely you have a 1st generation iPod touch. That is the highest iOS version it can handle.
    Regardless, you can find plenty of apps in the iTunes store which run on older devices. Here is my favorite solution for filtering compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    And here are some things other people have suggested:
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • HT4972 I have the 3rd generation ipod touch and it is saying that version 4.2.1 is the current version and there is no mention of ios5

    Apple says ios 5 works with the 3rd generation ipod but the highest os i have is 4.2.1?!?!?! help!

    If 4.2.1 is the latest version, then you have a 2nd gen iPod, not 3rd.

  • When I plug my i phone 4 into i tunes on the same computer that is used for the i pod touch it changes the e mail over to the i pod touch and i cant figure out how to get it back on the i phone account.  how do i fix this?

    Hi,  i need help.  When i plug into i tunes with my i phone 4 it changes the e mail account over to my daughters i pod touch account and i can't figure out how to separate the 2.  when i click on store,  it show up as my account but if i try to update an app or purchase anything it shows on the phone as her email and i need her password to do what i what.  it also puts her apps on my phone.  any advice would be appreciated.  thanks

    If you are being prompted for her Apple ID password when updating apps it means that there are one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID.  (Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them regardless of the settings on your phone.)  It's possible that you are inadvertently syncing her apps to your phone.  .  The only way to stop this is to delete these apps from your phone.  You may want to check which apps are checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing next time to be sure her apps aren't selected.
    To change the Apple ID used for purchasing, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the ID you want to use.

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

    i realy want it to be fixed its my life

    Have you try to:
    > Charge your iPod?
    > 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.

  • HT201210 my nephews ipod is in recovery mode and i cannot figure out how to get it out of recovery mode

    I am not for sureu as to which ipod touch that it is... But it looks like an IPhone 3g... It is recovery mode and cannot get it out.,.. I need some help...

    I have just created an @me.com email but none of my contacts from my iphone have been transferred into the account and don't really understand.  I have the icloud thing activated.  Please help!

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch and it shows to be connected to WiFi but will not access the internet, please tell me what i can do, because i use this device for work and it make things difficult that it will not work now. Please help, thank you!

    I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.

    Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router.  Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address.  To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
    It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I have a 2nd generation ipod touch and it wont update to version 4.2 why

    My iPod will say backin up in a little box and then it just stops backing up and freezes? why?

    See if moving the exsting backup to a safe location will allow a successfull backup since iTunes will create an entire new update file rather than modifying the existing one.  The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
