Does Apple plan to discontinue support/update for 2nd Generation iPod touch as latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1?

I have 2nd Generation iPod touch and latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1. Most of the Apps on iTunes now require iOS 4.3 at minimum. Isn't it outrageous that Apple is not supporting such iOS update for older iPod? Is there plan to discontinue such support?

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch too and I currently have 24 Apps that I cannot update. Unlike you however, I hold the App developers responsible for the fact that they (the App developers) are not supporting iOS 4.2.1.
It is the App devloper who decides to modify their App so that it then requires a particular version of the iOS. Since a developer can have a free and a paid version of an App, it begs the question why don't they have the older and newer versions.
I now check the requirements for an App before I click on update. If it still only requires iOS 4.2.1, then I can update. If it requires a higher iOS, the I simply don't update it. One good thing is that by now, most of the older Apps are quite stable and bug free, so the update is usually to give something extra. Since I cannot update the App, I simply forgo the "extras".

How to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
possible??

4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

SMS update for 2nd generation iPhone?

I've got a 2nd generation iPhone, and I've been waiting for the ability to MMS text since it was announced in June, and it's the end of August... does anyone know when the update will be available?

If AT&T lives up to their "usual support," it may be end of Summer next year. I love the iPnone, but HATE AT&T. It stands for "Always trouble telephone compny." Hijacking to use on Verizon is looking REALLY good right now. AT&T ***** and always has and the only reason I have an account is because of the iPhone. I had Verizon for years and never had a problem and this past winter when the ice storm hit western Kentucky and lower Illinois, the only wireless that worked was Verizon. I know because my granddaughter has iPhone and her mother has a BB. Her dad also had AT&T, but was able to get my granddaughter to her friends house and she call me from her friends Verizon phone. It was the only system working. I think AT&T is aware that when the contract with the iPhone is up they will lose over 1/2 of there wireless customers.

Update. 2ND generation ipod touch.

Can i update a 2nd generation ipod to IOS5 ? I know that below "about" in "general" there is suppost to be a thing that says update but my ipod doesn't have that. And, when i go to itunes it doesn't let me update it. Help !! Please !

I hope I didn't find you too late, Krrishlnd or anyone else interested, but when I inadvertently updated some apps beyond my 2nd generation iPod's iOS 4.2.1 capability, since I also have a new 3rd generation iPad, and my iTunes dutifully tries to update those apps beyond my iPod's capabilities--or if an app's "improvements" are worse than the previous version, I go to the trash on my Mac's desktop and open it. Yes, my iTunes normally catches the apps in question, and will state that the app is incompatible with my Touch, but occasionally an app slips through. In your Trash, unless you empty it regularly, you'll find iTunes' discarded previous versions of your apps. In fact you may find several earlier versions of the same apps in question, if it has been an unusually long time since you've emptied your trash. Newer Mac OS 10.X doesn't routinely empty the Trash like OS 9 and earlier used to do on shutdown and restart, so there's hope here. The discarded apps have abbreviated names you'll probably recognize, all with .ipa extensions at the end. They aren't overwritten when iTunes updates your iOS devices; iTunes just removes them and places them intact in the Trash.
What I do is make up a new folder (call it something like "iOS apps recovered from Trash" or whatever you like), either on my desktop or on an external harddrive, and select pretty much every app in my Trash (look for the extension .ipa) and haul them out of the trash to the new folder. From there (you can't open or use files directly from in Trash--your computer will just let you know you can't do it), just double-click on the older version of the app you want to reinstall on your 2nd generation iPod Touch. Your iTunes will ask if you want to replace the newer version with the older one. Click OK and then plug in your iPod Touch and let iTunes update it. I've restored apps back to working versions when app authors have mistakenly released newer versions too buggy or incompatible (despite being advertised otherwise) with my iPod Touch on several occasions using this method. If you create the folder on your desktop, the selected Trash's contents empty into it. If on an external harddrive, the originals remain in the trash--you may empty the Trash now that you've made the back-up folder.
If you have previously discarded the Trash contents, your only option now is to search on the Internet for archived copies of the apps in question. Just make sure your antivirus software is up to date, since one never knows where these apps have been...
I hope this helps. This method has spared me many headaches over the past couple of years. Hope your kid, in the mean time, hasn't yelled at you so loudly you have had to take away his/her iPod for bad attitude. Good luck.

Ios updates to first generation iPad ? Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

ios updates to first generation iPad ? Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

That's not so good! I found 5.1 was fairly stable but since upgrading to 5.1.1, Safari crashes frequently and it totally refuses to read some PDF's that have been readable in iBooks previously.
My local Apple Store said the problem was that my IPad (2 years old) is obsolete and I should buy a new one!
I know people have complained about IOS6 because of the mapping - but I would welcome anything that made it crash less!
Maybe related but I used to charge the battery every three days (I just use it for email & web in the evenings). Since the upgrade, I have to charge every day. 3 hours use tonight and it's down to 20%.
I've completely disabled iCloud (again a shame because I really liked the syncing with my iPhone4s) and the only two apps that are ever active are Safari & Email.
Any ideas? Should I just accept defeat, eBay this one and buy a new one?

So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

I must voice my total dissatisfaction here.
My iPod touch 2nd gen is less than 3 years old - it can't run the latest iOS, My G5 tower at home can't run the latest OS. I am a .mac user (I have been since it started) but I can't migrate to iCloud and the .mac service is being deprecated. Everything is considered too old to update.
Well - I can update in fact - if I buy a new Mac and a new iPod. This means essentially throwing away my old Apple hardware (again - I have 8 old Macs in the basement). I'm pretty sick of finding myself in this situation. I run both Macs and PCs - one of my development PCs here is still running WIndows 98 very well!
So what I am likely to do is cancel all my Apple services and mothball all my Apple products, as I can't really afford the luxury of upgrading all my hardware (over £2500) just so my calendars and contacts will sync across my devices. I'm likely to migrate to Windows to do this. Painful.
Shameful behaviour from Apple in this age of concern over excess consumption and excess waste production. You've lost (another) long-term Apple devotee and evangelist.

Will there be an ios update for ipod 2 gen ?

will there be an ios update for ipod 2 gen ?

I doubt it since it has been over a year since Apple released an update for the 2G iPod. A 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
A 1G to iOS 3.1.3.
