I have an iPod touch (2nd gen) unable to download iOS 4.3

does this make it obsolete in trying to download new apps such as words with friends?

Ipod touch 2nd gen can onl ygo to 4.2.1, which means that you can only use apps that are compatibel with ios 4.2.1 or lower.
Some apps will not be compatible, some will

  • I have an iPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying a new iPod touch?

    I have an IPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying another IPod touch? I have an iPhone4 which I love but don't want to get rid of the IPod touch.

    No but they usually have one every year. If I had know Id get a free ipod 2 years ago when I bought mine if I got a macbook I wouldve ditched the PC and purchased a macbook and got an ipod as well, it was more of a sarcastic remark and heads up for future possible promotions that seem to be routine, than an actual statement.
    PS: if your looking to upgrade and dont know what to do with your old one Id recommend recycle program apple has- 10%off purchase of a new one when you recycle old ipod touch with apple.

    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Try when connected to another network
    - Update via iTunes on a computer.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

    my ipod touch 2nd gen has white screen how do i fix this?

    try to reboot your ipod, to do this hold the power button for 5 seconds, continue to hold the power button and press the home button for 10 seconds (at about 8 seconds the ipod will turn off ignore that) after that realease the buttons and your ipod should return to normal. (this working on my ipod 4g when it went green screen) hope it works!!

  • I had to restore my iPod touch 2nd gen, and cannot reload iOS

    My iPod Touch 2nd gen stopped showing up on my computer and syncing. So i had to restore it to factory and now cannot reload the iOS all i see is the arrow saying plug it in to itunes (it is) itunes cannot see it and i can't fix it, sync it or find where to get the ios to add it again. Please and thank you for any and all help

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • HT1320 hey i have an ipod touch 2nd gen and its a little cracked and half the screen isnt touch screen anymore how do i fix it

    hey i have a 2nd gen ipod touch and its a little cracked and half the screen isnt touch screen anymore what do i do

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New iPod Touch 2nd gen unable to connect to my network

    Please let someone on here be able to help me... please. Dx
    I just got my new iPod touch today, plugged it in, put some music on it, tried to connect to my network after it picked it up... and... it won't connect.
    I've tried everything I can think of! It wasn't encrypted before, so I encrypted it. I tried using WPA, WEP, and WPA 2... NONE OF THEM WORK.
    I've tried resetting, banging my head against the wall, resetting the network settings on my iPod... everything I can think of.
    Is there a way to fix this? Please say yes.
    Ugh.
    One other thing, when I turn it on, go under the network and go under more info or whatever (the blue arrow) under DHCP no IP address shows up. Is that normal?
    No, I haven't tried another network yet.
    And I am entering the right password for the network.

    Yes, Grace, there are fixes for this. Unlike some people who think there is a "bug", I think you can get this connected.
    Router: Check your router for the following settings:
    DHCP- On
    MAC filtering - off
    SSID - on
    Encryption - set it to WPA or WPA2 (note, these are not turned on by default)
    DNS - obtain from ISP automatically
    On the iPod side:
    Go to the network connection you have, tap on the blue arrow, tap on forget this network.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and do that.
    After your iPod restarts, go to WiFi and type in your Network name. Chose the encryption that matches what is setup on your Router, enter your password. (Note: if you choose WEP, choose 128 bit and enter the hexidecimal key when if prompts for a password)
    If you have successfully logged in, you will have a check mark next to your network name. Tap on the blue arrow and look at your settings. You should have your Touch's IP address, subnet mask for the network, the router IP address, and the DNS address(es).

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

    my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download

    Are you  sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. apps that will not download, higher ios version needed

    I have an ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. I recently tried to download some apps and received a message that said I need a higher ios version (like 4.3 or higher). I know there used to be apps that worked before but I deleted them. When I tried to re-download them again they say they won't work. Options?
    Thanks

    Import the older versions to the iTunes library from your computer or a backup of it, or buy a newer device, or give up.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

    Sounds like Apps have been restricted.  Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen software downgrade?

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen. 8GB. It's current version is 4.2.1. I upgraded using my brother's mac. My mac can no longer update it's own software therefore not allowing me to update my iTunes to iTunes 10. I was wondering if there is a way for me to down grade my iPod so that I can use it on my own computer. I have already tried downloading iTunes 10, but can not run the program because of my computer's software being so far behind. I do not want to have to purchase another computer, I just want to know if it's possible to downgrade my iPod touch. If anyone has possible solutions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Upgrade the OSX on the Mac.  If it is an Intel Mac then the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade disk will do a full install. Otherwise you need the Leopard disk.  You can purchase it from Apple for $129 but you have to order it via phone since it is not listed in the on-line store.
