IPod Touch 2G - any messaging apps??

Hello all,
I bought an iPod Touch 2G for my daughter as a Christmas present and she loves it but she wants to be able to send messages to either my iPhone4 or my wife's iPhone 3GS.
All the apps I have tried need iOS 4.3 and our iPod Touch only goes up to iOS 4.2.1 so its really frustrating!
I know nothing about jailbreaking, the benefits or even where to even start! All I know is it invalidates your warrenty which for this iPod has expired
Does anyone know of a messenging app that uses 4.2.1 ?
If not, is jailbreaking it an option? If I can get iOS 4.3 on it then apps like Viber or Touch can then be installed
Appreciate any help you can give me

Yes,. it now requires 4.3 or later.

jenny-b, just make sure that that you do not update the version of Viper in your iTunes library. If you do update to current version then and have to restore the latest version will not install on a 2G

TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues. Go here to straighten it out. Be forewarned that it's a pain.

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

It shouldn't be. You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID. So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

If I reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so how do i get the bought one back ???

If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?

- A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
- A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod. If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
- If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

The app store on my brand new ipod touch offers me majority apps that cannot be used on my software. how do i find apps that will work with 6.1.5? this is frustrating, especially when purchased brand new.

Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.

My daughter forgot her passcode on her iPod touch. Any ideas?

My daughter forgot her passcode for her iPod touch. Any ideas ?

Well if she backs up her iPod regularly, she is in luck. You can restore the iPod, then choose a backup to use after it is done restoring. Information on doing this is available here:

Hope this helped!

HT201210 keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
There are problems both drive errors and USB errors. I don't believe it.
I have a hunch the drive is starving for power.
USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V. Not all do.
USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA. Not all do.
USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more. Some violate that.
USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that. Especially disk drives.
My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1]. Does your drive have the option for external power? If so try it. Following up on wtx's comment; USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power. Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification: A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest. I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

Music vanishes all the time from iPod touch using the iTunes App...

Hi
I am often not near a computer and prefer to purchase music for my iPod Touch from the iTunes app on the Touch itself. This has worked fine for many months. I believe my iPod is a 3rd gen. However lately I suddently noticed that some music purchased recently was completely missing from the iPod, even some songs purchased as part of an album just vanished... the rest of the album songs were still there, but a couple of random ones had just gone.
Now, every time I try and purchase and download something from the iTunes App (I literally just tried it again) it just doesn't appear in the purchased playlist.. or anywhere on my iPod in fact.
Essentially, I've wasted my money on buying songs that just don't appear. I've also noticed that the music search chugs a lot these days, as if there's some sort of background problem.
I recently upgraded the software (with multitasking etc) but the problem hasn't been fixed.
This is a really frustrating issue, and I have purchased several songs twice and got nothing! So really keen to see if anyone has seen it before and if they can please help me?
I've tried deleting apps, restarting the iPod... when I try and sync with the PC, the purchases are nowhere to be seen. It's all a bit disappointing really!
I'm on a 64Gig iPod touch and have 41 Gig showing as available!
Please help, I've searched for hours and got nothing on this specific issue.
Thanks

hmmm nobody can help me? Is this because nobody wants to tell me I've wasted my money?
