hello...........
i am suppose to update my 2nd generation ipod touch(ios 4.2.1) to 4.3
and lot of games required 4.3 and above
please give the solution.............soon................

You can't. The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS higher than 4.2.1. You have to either:
- Live with not being able to install a lot of newer apps/app updates
- Purchase a newer model iPod

  • TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

    If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
    When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

  • 2nd Generation iPod touch ios update

    I have an iPod 2nd generation iPod touch. Its been un-used for 2 years. When I plug it in to the computer it says theres an update availible. (It currently has ios 2.2.1) The update wont work, it says there is an unknown error. I have tried on three different computers and I have been through all of the online support. Nothing has worked. Any ideas of what i can do?

    What is the complete wording of the error message? Usually an error number is also given.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch+iOS 4.2.1=problems

    Hi!I have a 2nd gen iPod touch which has iOS 4.2.1 I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy microphone headset. Since I have iOS 4.2.1 on the iPod, it skips tracks, stops in the middle of the track and starts to play another one or just simply puts itself into FFW or stops while in my pocket. I'm using the device with this Samsung Galaxy earphone/mic combination for a long time, however I had no problems with it under earlier iOS versions. The shuffle for shake option is switched off in the settings of the iPod. Why is my iPod still going crazy in my pocket? Even when the screen is locked?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.
    If you still have the problem then you may have a problem with the headphones. Maybe a bad connection or intermitent short/open.

  • How do I update 2nd generation ipod touch

    I am new to the ipod touch and can't figure out how to update my 2nd generation ipod. When I tried to update through itunes it didn't work. Do I have to pay for it or something? Is this the only way to update it?

  • Cannot update 2nd gen ipod touch to ios 4.0

    I have a 2nd gen ipod & cannot update to ios 4.0 which I need to download & replace some apps which were deleted in error.  Have tried twice - first time it timed out & 2nd time there was an error msg which threatened to delete all content from the ipod.  have tried updating itunes on the pc.  Help!

    When you update your iPod, iTunes must remove all content from the device in order to proceed with the update.  Once the updated has been successfully installed, it then resyncs everything from your iTunes library back over to it as it was before.
    So as long as all of your content that is currently on your iPod is still in your iTunes library, you should have no worries proceeding with the update and letting iTunes temporarily remove and resync your content.

  • My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

    The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
    I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
    Any help would be apprecated.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

    I'm trying to update my 2nd generation ipod touch to ios 4.2.1 so I can get some games and stuff for my daughter. I saw on apple suppport that it was available in the itunes store, but cannot find it. Any ideas or help?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device.

  • How to update 2nd gen ipod to install apps?

    how do i update 2nd gen ipod to install apps? i have no clue what operating sys this is or where to find it. the version is 4.2.1 if that means anything.
    i just got it for my son & he wants to be able to text me w/ this device. any help is appreciated

    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.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch.  I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1.  When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message.  Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
