No. iOS 4.2.1 is the highest iOS update available for the 2G iPod Touch.

  • 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.

  • I have the old ipod touch, can i upgrade to the new one and just pay the difference?

    I have the ipod touch 2 and i bought it used a couple of months ago from Apple. I want to tak it in to apple and return it and get the new Ipod Touch and just have to pay the difference, is this possible?

    Apple has a recycle program, but it will only give you 10% of a new iPod. Your best bet is to sell the existing iPod and use the proceeds to purchase a new unit.

  • 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.

    What battery life are you getting?  Is it short when you are using the iPod? When it is sleeping?

  • 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
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Or sent it to Apple

  • I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

    This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

  • Does it make sense to buy an iPod touch 5th gen. 64 gb with iOS 7 and upgrade it to iOS 8, or spend a few bucks more and buy one with iOS 8 already installed?

    Does it make sense to buy an iPod touch 5th gen. 64 gb with iOS 7 and upgrade it to iOS 8, or spend a few bucks more and buy one with iOS 8 already installed?

    The iOS update us free so I would get the less expensive one.
    If you are getting a used one make sure this is done before you purchase it. Otherwise it may still have the Activatin Lock on

    If you still have problems after restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem.  If you have an Apple store nearby make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

  • I have an ipod touch 2g 8gb but now its hd is only 6gb

    I have an ipod touch 2g 8gb but now its hd is only 6gb
    Why it happened?

    This is correct. It is nothing new or unusual. It is the way memory is reported.
    Also the operating system uses up some of the memory as well.

  • How high can a iPod touch 3G be upgrade in the iOS

    How high can the iPod touch 3G get upgrade in the ios

    5.1.1. If it's an 8GB model, it's probably a second generation, not a third, and can't be updated past 4.2.1; if it happens to be a fourth generation model, 6.0.1.

  • Ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen

    ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen and logo scree. and does not startup suggestions why ?

    After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
    - resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod, first from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod.  If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode.  If still unsuccessful try placing it in DFU mode.
    for recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    For DFU mode:
