I have a 2nd generation ipod, but can't load any new games because they require a newer version of software (which isn't available on the 2nd gen

Hello, I have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch and can't get any new games to load (because the 2nd generatiom requires new software, which isn't available). Is there a way to get older versions of games to load on the ipod?
Thanks

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 releases, 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 don't know what generation of iPot touch I have. If I am unable to download my paid apps because my iPod is too old, I'm not going to be pleased.

    Sorry, there is no upgrade for your model based on what you've posted. See below:
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

  • HT4059 I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I am trying to download ibooks onto.  It is version 4.2.1.  The app says it requires 5.0.   Is there an older version I can put on the ipod so I can read books?  And same with the kindle app.

    How can I get the ibooks onto a 2nd generation ipod touch since it requires 5.0 and the version on the ipod is only 4.2.1?   Surely, I should be able to read books on the 2nd generation ipod, right?

    "Really?  "
    Yes.
    "Is there any other way to access books on the ipod 2nd generation? "
    No ibooks.
    You can try a kindle reader.

  • Skype works, but can't load any websites via Chrome,Firefox and Safari

    I am on Lion and I have been facing this issue since a week now.
    I have 2 laptops connecting to the same wifi router. The other laptop is running Windows and browsers are able to load websites without any problem on that. But on my mac, I can run Skype, but browsers dont load any websites. Even I cant operate the Mail application, it opens but doesnt download any emails.
    Since Skype is working I am sure the internet and my wifi are fine. I am guessing there is some issue with DNS. Am I correct ?
    Although I dont know what to check to confirm whats wrong and how to rectify this problem. Has anyone faced and solved similar issue before?

    mail would fail if the mail client is trying to resolve the mail server ie:   mail.yourdomain.com
    if you want to test dns you can
    open a terminal>
         nslookup www.apple.com
    and to test dns via google public dns
         nslookup www.apple.com 8.8.8.8

  • How do I stop the downloading of ALL 11 EPISODES of Downton Abbey?   I can't watch any of them because they are frozen in PROCESSING.

    I purchased Season 3 from iTunes and "downloaded" it.  When I went to watch them, I found they were not fully downloaded, but just a small bit of each episode.  As if each was holding a place for the rest of the episode to be downloaded.
    I started watching these, but after each episode, it is as if the iPad info-structure rearranges itself.  My GENERAL settings tell me I've used next to none of my 5 GB storage space.  But when I try to watch a second episode, it tells me I have run out of space.  A few times I was able to find a page that I could EDIT & DELETE the episodes i had already watched.  So I deleted the earlier episodes and was able to finish downloading the next one.  At an agonizingly slow pace.   It took at least half an hour to download a 47 minute video.
    Now I can't find the setting page where I was able to EDIT and delete the episodes I have seen.  I have been reading the iPad Secrets Manual, trying to find out what is going on.  Not the free LITE manual, but the paid manual.  It should have been called the LITE manual, as it barely skims the surface.  I have probably messed up my settings trying to figure out what is eating up my hard drive and battery.
    Can anyone recommend a good manual that is written for a new Apple user - one that is not written in geek speak.  And can anyone suggest how I can get these to finish downloading?

    Thank you

    If you are seeing 5 gig of storage, then are you looking at Settings > General > Usage > Available (in the iCloud section) ? If you are then that shows how much space that you have available in the cloud, not on the actual iPad (TV shows don't use any of your iCloud allowance).
    How much space do you have available on your iPad - it should be shown at at top of Settings > General > Usage, and in Settings > General > About > Available. It looks like the Downton Abbey episodes vary between about 1.8 and 2.7 gig each in HD format, 500 to 800 meg in SD format.
    To delete an episode from a series, then select the series on the TV Programmes screen in the Videos app and if you swipe across the episode's name you should get a Delete button appear on it. If they are stuck in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app and you want to delete them to stop them downloading, then try swiping across the name of it in that tab and see if you get a Delete button

  • Have upgraded to monthly subscription, but can't load Muse files to my own domain

    When I tried to load the Muse files for my website, developed during the trial period, to my own domain, I discovered that wasn't an option.
    I have upgraded from trial sub to month-to-month sub.  The "Trial period ends in (x) days" no longer appears at Muse start.  But when I try to publish, I'm still limited to .businesscatalyst.com
    I haven't found an option yet to publish to a regular, non-"businesscatalyst.com" domain.
    Do I need to uninstall my Muse software and re-download it?  Do my existing .muse files remain intact?
    thanks....

    Hello,
    Using File>Publish option it only allow you to publish the website on Business Catalyst.
    If you are looking to publish/upload your website on a non-Business Catalyst host the you have two options :
    Either use File>Upload to FTP host option and use the FTP credentials for your host and then click on OK to upload it to your host server.
    Or you can use File>Export to HTML option where you can save the output files on your desktop in a folder and then upload them using some third party FTP client like Filezilla etc.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod shuffle. I lost my earphones few days back. Now I want to purchase one with songs control in the earphone. I asked Apple customer center, they told Apple has stopped manufacturing those. Please help me in getting one.

    I want to buy iPod shuffle earphones with the songs control in it.

    To overcome your doubts, take a look at these third party headphones that show that they are compatible with your iPod shuffle.

    Hi,
    Have you configure a DHCP role on your Virtual machine? To consider the DHCP conflicts issue, please first disable it or give it a pool limitation.
    Then, let's check the DHCP client on your Windows 8.1 computer, if the status is stopped, please manually start it to check the results:
    After that, please try to renew a ip address on your computer:
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    Can we get this issue fixed?
    If not, please post back the event below for our research:

  • I am currently using Firefox 3.6.27. I would like to update, but not to "the latest and greatest." How can I view a list of all the versions of Firefox which are still available, choose the one that I want, and download it?

    Not applicable.

    The only versions you update to are 3.6.28 (which will be dropped from support in a few weeks) or Firefox 11. I'd recommend either 11, or at least start planning for it. Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to 11, I can try to help.

  • Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

    Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
    If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
    Many Thanks

    - These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    - However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
    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.

    Hi
    Have just purchased my first imac. I have a 2nd generation ipod that now is not recognized in itunes. It still works with my old pc, which is at the end of its life. I am not very good with technical details so if anyone out there can help please could they tell me in idiot terms! My daughter just thinks that the ipod is too old (a little like me)!!!
    Many thanks

    The Nano should still work with your new Mac.  What happens when you plug it in? what shows up on the iPod's display in iTunes?
    WIth the iPod still connected to the Mac, try and reset it.
    How to reset iPod
    Does the iPod still appear in the Finder?

  • 2nd generation iPod touch doesn't turn on or respond to anything I've done so far. Any suggestions ???

    I have two 2nd generation iPod touch's and both just stopped turning on, they don't respond to anything. I've tried everything I know of (hard resets,soft resets,pluging them to a wall charger and computer) and still haven't made any progress. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me ??
    Thanks for your help.

    Seeing that your iPod has been through a lot of rough handling, there is a chance that it is at the end of its life. I recommend taking it in to an Apple Store and getting it looked at.
