Ipod touch 2g (8gb) upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.2, is this too big of a jump?

I have a 2g 8gb iPod touch that is currently running 3.1.3. I want to upgrade mainly because some of the apps I want now need iOS 4+ to run. I looked up how upgrades went for others with my same iPod and most said it went pretty well, especially if you were upgrading to 4.2. Is going from 3.1.3 to 4.2 too big of a jump to make in one upgrade?

Of course not.
Most never have any issue with any update.

IPod Touch won't update from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS 4

My second generation IPod touch won't upgrade from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS4. Everytime I plug it into the computer it tells me there's an update. I'll click theupdate and it will start backing up my files but it never gets beyond this point. What is the best way to fix this?

Significant Volume Reduction on Ipod Touch 3GS after upgrading to IOS 4.2

Hi everyone. I just would like to ask why there is a significant decrease of sound volume after my ipod touch 3GS was upgraded from 3.1 to IOS 4.2. Settings are the same and I haveven't changed anything, so I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Is there a way now to increase or recover the volume? I am planning to downgrade it back (if it is still possible) just to get back the huge volume of ipod touch 3.1. Thanks in advance guys.

I have had the same problem. I have put the same song on my standard Ipod and also my Itouch and the volume on the touch is considerabely lower when it plays through the Apple plug. When I play music through Pandora the volume is higher than the music that is uploaded. This has only happened since I updated to OS4. Any idea how to help with this?

I have an iPod Touch 4G 8GB and there's a few issues with it.

So. I've had this iPod Touch 4G 8GB for exactly 7 months and 4 days now, since August 1st, 2013, my most recent birthday. I got it from a local pawn shop, and it was used.* It was not fully configured when I got it, was extremely slow (even after a full restore) and had lots of scratches on the back and minor scratches on the front. It worked fine though, for my first iDevice. It came with no papers at all. But both the rear and front facing cameras worked fine, along with all the buttons, speaker, charging port and headphone jack. However, after a while, the device became more and more slow even after several hard resets and restores, along with the cameras slowly deteriorating in quality, even though I kept a case on it 24/7, kept it in my top control and always tried to use a stylus to reduce smudges. On March 1st, 2014, I dropped it. It cracked on the front, near the front facing camera, unfortunately, but it still worked fine. No unresponsiveness, no finger catching, nothing. Until March 3rd, 2014 (yesterday), that is. No real damage happened to the front other than the cracks, but the real damage was found, other than the fact that the rear view camera had these colored horizontal lines across the screen whenever I tried using it on the Camera app. No, this wasn't pixel glitches in general because nothing happened outside of the Camera app, and no, it wasn't just occuring specifically in the Apple Camera app, as I tested a few others. It also had trouble focusing, but I don't think that this happened mainly because of the fall, because it was safe inside the case, and it didn't land on the back. I also think it might have something to do with the fact that it WAS deteriorating in quality over the time I had it. It's not bad when I point the rear view camera at light, almost as if they're not visible at all. But in low light situations, it's quite dificult to get a good shot and I've been having to use the front facing camera to film. It seems to look very reddish in certain direct light shots as well. Also, it might be important to note that it also got scratched a lot more on the front and back (extremely bad on the back, I'm not kidding), specifically after the cracks occured.
Now, why am I telling you this? Well, I'm obviously not under warranty or Apple Care, but I'm curious to know if I'm eligible for a replacement, brand new or refurbished. I've read lots of stories on the website here recently about people's situations like this where they were able to get a new one for free/for a very low fee, and I'm curious. Here's some photos I took;
Oh, and I apologize for the low quality image pictures.

If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store

IPod Touch 2G 8GB wont turn on or connect to computer. Device Malfunctioned

My iPod Touch 2G 8GB will not turn on or connect to my (or any other) computer or accesory. I'm not sure but I believe my USB cord may have been damp from a recent flood.
When I plug it into a Vista computer, a popup reads "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it"
Do you have any idea what might have happened? I'm not positive the cord was damp, but if it was, does anyone know what it could have done to my ipod and is it salvageable?
I tried the standard home/power reset and tried plugging it into various accessories (car stereo, alarm clock dock) but nothing worked. THe screen is just black and hasnt changed at all.
If anyone can offer any input, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

IPod Touch w/ Software Upgrade, Minor Issue

I just returned the iPod touch 16g I purchased from Best Buy and got myself the correct version this time, the 8g with the software upgrade, they were out of the 16g. Anyways, it works fine, most of the timer, half to unplug and replug it in everytime I want to transfer a video file but I'm wondering why there isn't an automatic shutoff with the Touch since the original iPod has it included?
It's kind of ****** that Apple would release these firmware updates and not include automatic shutoff with the darned thing.

Do you mean like a sleep timer??

My ipod touch 2g 8gb has no battery, wont charge on my pc (Hp Pavilion g6 intel Pentium 2.2Ghz, 2 gb) or on my outlet 220W, and it wont turn on. What should I do?

Hi there fCdawg123!
I have an article here that can address this issue for you and give you some further troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
As you may note, this article was written for the iPhone, but the steps for troubleshooting will be the same for your iPod touch. This is the section that I believe will help you the most with this issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
