I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

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!

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

  • Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?

    I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Doesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

  • Why won't the messages and facetime app work?

    I refuse to believe that the only fix for this is to do all the behind the scenes stuff to change out certain aspects of apps.  I would think that because messages and facetime come built into 10.8.2.  I believe that it is on apple's shoulders to fix this with an update or maybe just an updated messages and facetime app.

    I had my messages and facetime in a folder inside applications, once I copied and pasted the new apps into the folder and clicked replace, they worked just fine, maybe some of you have done the same thing!

  • HT5003 I have a first generation iPad. Why won't it update?

    I have a first generation iPad. But for some reason it won't update to IOS 5.1... Can anyone help me?

    If you are currently running iOS 5.01, you can update to iOS 5.1 over wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Why won't the wake and sleep feature work on my ipad

    I have a case that works but it doesn't

    You have Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock / Unlock set 'on' ? If you have and the cover is aligned then you could try a soft-reset and see if it works after the iPad has restarted : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why won't the sleep and wake button work

    the sleep and wake button has stopped working.

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

  • Why won't the Camera and Photos apps work? I can't access my photos or take new ones.

    I can no longer take new photos, or access my camera roll or photo stream from within the camera or photos apps.
    Several days ago I took an HDR photo and the phone became unresponsive on the "saving" dialog with the progress loop rolling. After 15 minutes, and multiple attempts at getting it un-hung, I forced a restart of the phone. Since then, whenever I take a picture, the app disappears and drops me on the home screen right after the "iris" graphic clicks on the screen. The same app crash happens when I simply try to look at previously saved pictures in either the camera or photos apps. Since then I have synched the phone, and performed a factory reset, and neither has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I get use of my camera back?

    I'm having the same problem, but am traveling for business right now so all I can do is restart the phone.  I don't live near an Apple store either, so I don't know how I'll get it fixed.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Why won't the latest version of adobe flashplayer work?

    I've successfully uploaded it several times now, yet any time Adobe Flashplayer is needed to view something (such as an ECard or facebook game) it tells me I need to upload it.  Anyone else have this problem???

    Be sure you are downloading the Flash installer straight from Adobe's site.  DO NOT EVER download from any other site!  There is currently a trojan going around that fools you into downloading a fake Flash installer.  See:
    http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?tag=flashback
    If you have downloaded the latest version directly from Adobe and it's not working, see the link Carolyn gave you.

  • Why won't the podcasts from my Itunes sync onto my Ipod 5th Gen 30gb video?

    Podcasts will not sync onto IPOD.
      Previous podcasts from a year ago, or so did, but the recent ones (i.e. Tron Legacy) will not. It tells me can't sync; some problem to do with my Itunes library. Was able to get TV episode to sync, but not the podcast. What is the deal?? In need of help!!
    THANKS

    Error messages:
    1. Some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "Derezzed by Daft Punk", were not copied to the iPod "Ba25's iPod" because they can not be played on this iPod.
    2. Five different videos (podcasts - TV and Film) were not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod "Ba25's iPod".
    I've had other podcasts sync onto my iPod from a few years ago.

  • Why won't my videos and App Store not work but webpages do

    It will load the webpages but not videos or the App Store. I thought it was my Internet but it works fine on my other phone and my Internet provider could not find a problem with the Internet.

  • Why won't the container and header center on the screen?

    I put together a very short file while trying to learn to code in CSS.  I'm baffled that the container won't center.
    Here is the code...
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>practice3</title>
    <title></title>
    <style>
    body{background-color:#2c344f; text-align:center; font-family: "Arial"}
    H2 { color:#963}
    DIV {padding: 15px; margin: 5px; background-color:#f8f7ee}
    IMG {margin:0 auto}
    div#header {width:780px; text-align:center; background-color:#f8f7ee}
    div#container{ text-align:center; width: 780px; margin: 0 auto}
    </style>
    <DIV ID="header"><img src="newbirdsonyellow.jpg" align="center" width="741">
    </div>
    </html>

    Why place a separate wrapper div into the document...?
    Short answer, better control.
    Consider the following scenarios:
    #1 I need to use 2 or 3 different background images on my page.  Until CSS3 gains better browser support, a  div can't have more than one background.
    #2 I want my body to be 100% of viewport while my content is fixed-width and centered.
    #3 If I use a fixed, centered background on my body, the background image slides off to the left when viewport is minimally resized.  Try it with the link below:
    http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/fixed-background.shtml
    #4 I have some APDivs in my layout.  To control them, I need to wrap them inside a relatively positioned division.  See disjointed rollover example:  http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Disjointed-Image-Gallery.shtml
    #5 I have some floated boxes in my content region. To control the space between them, I need to wrap them inside a fixed-width division that is smaller than my page. See CSS boxes example. http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/3-CSS-boxes.shtml
    These a just a few situations in which having a #wrapper is better than not having one.  Your mileage may vary.

  • Why won't the button on front of ipad work?

    The button on the front of my Ipad 2 doesn't work. When in an app, if I push the button, nothing happens. To end an ap, I have to power it off and then back on.

    Try the basics from the manual:  restart, reset, restore.
    If these fail, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
