After updating my ipod touch 2nd gen, almost all my apps won't sync

My daughters each have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and after they both updated their iPod touches, they could no longer sync or install most of theie apps they'v ehad for years. What do we do now since they can no longer place apps on their ipod touches?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

If I reset my iPod touch 5th gen. will all my notes, pictures and apps be erased forever?

My mother set up iCloud on my iPod without my consent and she set it up so that I have all my little sister's apps, notes, pictures, and contacts. How can I get all my old information back without deleting all the stuff on her iPod 4th gen.? I already deleted the iCloud account. Do I have to reset anything in my settings? I do not want to start out fresh with all my info gone. I need my notes, pictures, and contacts soon! I really need help, please!!

You can import the photos to a coouter and sync them back to the restored iPod. However, they will be in a new album, not the Camera Roll album
You can email the Notes and then cut and paste them to Notes in the restored iPod

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..Thank u for your help.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer usable? Is this what is store for all Apple products?

I am very disheartened with Apple. I have loved the iPod touchs up until now. It seems the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer download apps that work on the 4.2.1 iOS. I was just selling my wife on Apple products and now this has shut her and I down on all Apple products. I hope I am wrong but is Apple partaking in planned obsolesence? If so, planned obsolesence is not marketing and I will be looking at other brands when it comes to electronic devices. If not, how do you download apps for an iPod touch 2nd gen running a max iOS of 4.2.1? Thank you.

Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store. It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices. And you can download them right to your ios device. Many are free.
Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
Be sure to keep backups of older software. Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

How do I delete ebooks in Archives on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

The ebooks I've downloaded are listed in my iPod Touch 2nd Gen Archives. Since they are mostly Library books they cannot be read again.
1. How do I delete these books?
I do not have Wi-Fi, but use the Library to download books.
I sync my iPod Touch 2nd Gen with my iMac Snow leopard OSX 10.6.8
My current downloads are through Kindle software (Amazon), others with Eucalyptus...
Bringing up my acct through iTunes and clicking Kindle... NONE of the many books in ARCHIVE on iPod Touch are listed in the iTunes Kindle icon, nor is the Eucalyptus icon shown in this box. However, Eucalyptus is shown in the list of software icons.
It's no big deal if this Archived Listing on iPod Touch Gen 2 is not taking up any memory, but if it is, I'd like these books to be deleted.
Thank you for your advice. Frances

That answer is where the problem comes in....
They are NOT AUDIO books, they are just plain normal e-books, for reading.
They do not show up on any lists on iTunes.
I would suppose that only someone who downloads ebooks from the Library would know
how to delete books from the Archives on iPod 2nd Gen. Audio books are handled differently.
Thank you for trying. Frances

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
So my questions are
1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version? I would delete the download and try again. You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen (iOS 4.2.1) stops playing certain songs but screen remains.

iPod Touch 2nd Gen 32GB
iOS 4.2.1
roughly 4.89 GB free
During playback, the Touch stops playing on certain specific songs, but the screen remains as is (that is, doesn't go back to menu or black). I suspect "bad blocks/sectors" on the memory chip, but have no way of checking. Pressing pause and then play again doesn't help. Skipping back to previous song and then forward doesn't help. Skipping forward does not work (next song doesn't play). This affects only certain very specific and recently added songs.
I've tried Reseting (erasing all content) and Restoring from backup. Problem still occurs.
Next step is to Reset (erase all content) and setup as a new ipod. Then reload music content. All content is AAC at 192kbps or lower.
Anyone have any thoughts?

If the songs play OK in iTunes on the comnputer:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Help restoring iPod touch 2nd gen to OS 3.1.3

I have an ipod Touch 2nd gen that had been updated to OS 3.1.3. I haven't had many problems with it. The last time I had to restore it was when iTunes 9.1 was new and I downgraded back to iTunes 8.
I keep getting a message that there is purchased items on the iPod and do I want to transfer them to the Mac if not then it will be deleted from the ipod. I click on "don't transfer", but the next time I try to sync I get the same message.
I tried restoring the ipod and it keeps insisting that I should "restore and update" and I don't get a "restore" option. I don't want to update to OS 4.
The odd thing is iTunes apparently keeps tossing the iPod2,13.1.3_7E18Restore.ipsw and iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw into the trash without my permission.
I tried updating from a backup copy and this time it let me click "restore" but then apparently it phoned home to Apple and it said the ipod was "not eligible" to restore to OS 3.1.3.
I tried turning off the internet connection and then it refused to restore at all. >:(
The only thing that I can think of is that iTunes is either 1. trying to force me to buy an update I don't want or 2. that it thinks I have to update the iPod Touch because I bought an iPhone 4. >:(
I really preferred the days when we could just run a standalone ipod updater. Does anyone know of a way I can force the ipod Touch to be restored either to the original iOS 2 or the updated iOS 3 (which afterall I did pay for !)?
Thanks.

You cannot restore to OS 3.1.3 simply because Apple has stopped signing that particular firmware. What happens is for every firmware your device creates unique keys knows as SHSH blobs. For you to be able to update or restore to that firmware Apple checks those blobs and signs them (ticks them off). However if Apple has stopped signing them which it has for OS1 OS2 OS3 O4.0 & OS4.1 you can no longer go to those particular firmwares. Currently Apple is only signing OS 4.2.1 firmware so you can only restore to that one.
Note- There is one final hope for you to restore to 3.1.3. Google SHSH blob extractor.

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?

I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?

Not sure what you are atlaking about.
Lose what mui from what ipod.
Your music should be on your computer. Sync it to your ipod.

Ipod Touch (2nd gen) drawing too much power, disable USB?

Earlier today, when my iPod Touch (2nd gen) was syncing with iTunes, it disconnected and this error message popped up:
Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device darwing too much power has been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing to much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again.
Now, my Ipod will not sync or charge. I've tried connecting other USB devices (cell phone, wireless mouse and ehd) and get the same message. I've tried a few suggestions online like: restarting/shutting down the computer, restarting the IPod, resetting the SMC, PRAM and NVRAM. None of these worked. I've connected my iPod to my roommate's iMac and it connected with no problem. Is there anything else I can do before using the Genius bar?

You have a MacBook problem since it happens with all your USB accessories. I suggest you post in the MacBook forum. I do not have a MacBook so I have no ideal about the problem.
