HT4972 What if you have a second generation iPod touch? How do I get iOS 5 or 4?

Ive had this iPod for a while just used it for music but now that I was trying to put apps on it I couldn't because I needed something called iOS 5 or 4.3 so I looked it up and it said I couldn't get that so I was wondering what am I supposed to do now

Neither of those are compatible with the second generation iPod touch. If you want to use those applications, get a newer device.

If you are using iTunes on Maverick OSX 10.9 then syncing of contacts and calendars has been removed. The replacement is to use iCloud instead.

Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

HT4972 Both my iPod and computer (mac) say that iOS 6.1.5 is the latest software available. I have a 4th generation iPod touch, how do I get it to update to iOS 7?

. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

I have a second generation ipod touch that will not update past version 3.1.3, when i check updates it says it is up to date but im quite sure i should be able to get at least a 4.2 ios update. If someone could please help id really appreciate it!!

I have made sure that my ipod is second generation, and i have tried to resotr it twice to fix the problem. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it. I went to the apple store in metrotwn and the gentlemen didnt even look at the ipod, just told me that it was maybe to old of a generation to support updates. Funny thing is my boyfriend had it before me and he updated it past 3.1.3 no problem.

- Are you sure you have a 2G iPod and not a 1G? Yucan can itell the difference here by the shape of the black antenna cover on the back of the iPOd.

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.

Second generation ipod touch and problems with headphone jack.

Hello!
I have a second generation ipod touch that is experiencing headphone jack problems. Everytime that I plug any sort of headphones in all it does is make weird noises and only let me hear background parts of the music. I have even tried replacing the headphones that i was using and it still does the same thing. The only way to hear all of the song is to push the headphones to the left and hold it there otherwise nothing works. I even talked to some of my friends that have the 2nd generation ipod touch and they have the same problem. Is there an issue with the 2nd generation ipod that people are not informed about?

No.
My 2G, passed along to my brother now, is just fine after nearly 3 years of daily use and it's share of hard knocks.
I didn't just "get lucky" either .
A search of this forum will show that what you've described does happen but it's not common.
You need a 3rd party , like iPod Doctor, to tell you and your friends what happened and how to avoid it in the future.
I doubt it will make sense to repair a 2G iPod since it can no longer be updated but ask anyway.

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.

If you have a 1G iPod you can update to as far as 3.1.3. Yu get hat paid update here:

You can identofy your iPod here:

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can update the 2nd generation iPod touch to iOS 4.2.1

HT4972 So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?

An iTunes library you previously downloaded those versions to, or a backup of that library.
