IOS 6 for iPod Touch Gen.1/2

Hi,
I have an old iPod Touch(probably Gen. 1 or 2).
Can I or do I need to upgrade it to the latest iOS 6?
What advantages will I get from the iPod Touch(Gen. 1 or 2) if it is upgraded to iOS 6?
Thanks.

Neither the 1st, nor the 2nd generation Touch can be updated to iOS 6.
1st gen can go as high as iOS 3.1.3
2nd gen can go as high as iOS 4.2.1
(And I think 3rd gen can only go as high as iOS 5.?? but I'm sure one of the other regular contriboutors will contirm or correct me.)

    how do i get an older ios version for ipod touch?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

    If you have the iPod Touch 4th generation then i'm sorry to say that your out of luck. It can only be downloaded on iPod Touch 5th gen. If you have the 5th gen iPod Touch then you go to settings > general > (second one from the top) Software update. and click instal for the one that says iOS 7!

  • ITunes Fails To Download iOS For iPod Touch In Recovery

    I have an iPod Touch 5 (without camera) that was messed with by someone and ended up disabled for 45 years. As waiting 45 years until I can put in the pass code is not practical, *snickers* I put the iPod into Recovery Mode and went to restore it on iTunes (latest version running on Windows 8), and it wants to update the software to the latest version with the restore. All is well and it starts downloading the around 1.4GB software download. My internet is fairly slow currently. It will get awhile in (about 70-80mb) and a message pops up saying that the internet connection timed out or some similar message appears. When I try again it completely restarts the download. I have tried about three times. I have also restarted the computer. How can I get it to download or even skip the update completely? I have 45 years but id like to get it fixed sooner. lol

    It is safe to use but frequently the iPod encountered an error and got the iPod in recovery mode and you have to restore the iPod to correct the error,

  • Which is latest version of iOS for iPod Touch?

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch.  I'm not sure which generation.  iTunes doesn't tell me.  Does anyone know how to find that out?
    I'm running iOS 6.1.6.  iTunes says I have the latest version.  I'm fairly sure this is one of the most recent generation iPod Touch models.  Are some models not allows to upgrade to iOS7?

    You have a 4G iPod.

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.
