I bought an iPod touch 2nd generation and it won't let me download anything as it no been updated I know I cannot get the recent update but how do I get an old one ? , also it is not showing up in iTunes or my computer so I cannot put songs on can someone please help ??
The 2G can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. To find apps for the 2G
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
To update to 4.2.1
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?
The headphones will work with the iPod Touch. For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector. The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

Hello I have just purchased a 2nd hand Ipod touch 4th Gen, I cannot seem to delete the Apple ID in the message settings of the previous owner?
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then setup the iPod with your account.
If necessary, place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

What iOS do you have on the iPod?
Did it every connect to your computer with that iOS?
The latest iOD for the 2G is 4.2.1 and that required a Mac with 10.5.8 or later.
Have you tried:

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.
