I erased my 2nd gen ipod touch, can it be restored, apple shop are saying no , some parts can not be downloaded. is this correct

Sorry new to all this.
I was re-selling my ipod touch 2nd generation so i erased all contents and setting ... was this correct ?
The new owner is telling me she cant get it to work. she has taken it into the apple store and they have told her that parts that were erased ca no longer be downloaded.
Is this correct ?
Have i been an idiot ? lol

That sounds correct.
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
See the following for more easily  finding compatible apps
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

  • HT201272 I have a 2nd gen ipod touch and had to restore it from back up. When I did that, I lost a lot of apps that I had previously purchased and now they will not re-install. How do I get the apps to install on the ipod now?

    Please help Obi Wan, you're my only hope.

    So you are saying that you purchased it by:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
    How long ago did you purchase it?
    Did you purchase it on another computer?
    Contact iTunes:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us

  • My 2nd gen ipod touch will sync to my computer yet my music i just bought will not go onto the ipod

    anyone else have this problem if so tell me what you did to fix it

    There are no error messages and yes the iPod is signed into the account that the music was purchased from but what happens is I sync my iPod and it tells me all my music is on there, but it is not in the library and if you search one of the purchased songs it shows up on the iPod. And everytime I click on the song that comes up after searching it takes me to my library for about 5 seconds then puts me at the home screen

  • Ok. So my 2nd gen ipod touch is frozen at the Apple logo screen. Ive tried doing the sleep and home button, conecting it the computer and running it dixk mode and restoreing it and nothing works.it wont get unstuck. Is it just plain dead?

    Is there a soulution to where i can keep this one?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    It is very likely that you will have to restore the iPod.

  • Downloading HD videos on a 2nd gen. iPod Touch?

    Hey guys!
    I'm having some difficulty downloading some newer HD videos on my 2nd gen. iPod touch (Legend of Korra episodes if you must know). Two of them aren't downloaded on, one of them I have no clue why, and the other "The Voice in the Night", cannot be played on the iPod (even though the other ones can). I'm wondering if I can change the video so I can download it onto my iPod without buying it again.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    The other episode is "The Revelation", and it just won't download for no reason (iTunes doesn't notify me that it won't either).

    Should work fine, it is a USB power adaptor.

    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

  • 2nd gen iPod Touch - can earphones with mic be used?

    My daughter just got a 2nd gen Touch. She wants to buy some apps that use a microphone for input. I realise the 2nd gen doesn't come supplied with inline mic earphones (as opposed to the 3rd gen, which does), but can she buy any brand of earphone with inline mic and expect them to work?
    Or does she need official Apple ones?

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch with the 3.1 software loaded. I don't see a menu available to pair a Bluetooth stereo headset. Is this capability available on the 2nd gen ipod touch?

  • Can I put iOS 5 on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

    Hello, I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I cannot get any apps because I have an older ios. Can anyone help me?

    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.

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

    2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

    Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
    Then try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong
