IPod Touch 2nd Generation Updates

Did Apple stop making updates for the iPod Touch 2nd generation because the hardware's old?

Correct. You need to buy a newer model if you want the latest iOS.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation update error -1

    2nd gen ipod touch 2.2 trying to upgrade to 4.2.1 Used 2 different PC's both W7 and up to date. iTunes 11.0.1 Will sync fine on both, tells me update is available, and does the backup. Extracts the files then error -1. Tried downloading the file manually, same result. What to do next?

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "may need service" means a hardware problem.

  • I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.I want to purchase games from the app store like Temple Run but it says I can't.Is there a way to update this ipod?

    I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?

    You can update it to 4.2.1
    Open itunes, connect ipod.  If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update.

  • Will there be any updates for ipod touch 2nd generation

    i have the ipod touch 2nd generation and was wondering if there will be any updates or any fixes for that generation of ipod?

    iOS 5 will definitely not support the 2nd-generation iPod touch. They list the supported devices at the bottom of this page:

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    What exactly happens when you try to update the iPod? What does the error message say?
    Also, are you sure yo have a 2G iPod?
    See:
    Identifying iPod models
    I ask since a 1G can only go to iOS 2.x via iTunes and highest is 3.1.3 via

    My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
    I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
    The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
    Main questions:
    What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
    solvable problem(s)?
    Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
    ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
    thanks, Sim x

    i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
    i didnt think graphics could change via software updates

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation getting unknown error -1 message while trying to update to 4.2 disabled the security still get message any suggestions?

    While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

    Since Apple says:
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do I get the latest ios update on my iPod touch 2nd generation?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1.  I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system when I know that ios 6 has just come out.  This is frustrating because since the operating system is still ios 4, it is very slow and crashes frequently.  Since it is so slow, I have begun to use it less and less for certain things because it is so slow.

    "My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1. "
    That is absultely correct.
    " I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system"
    That is also correct.  Ios 4.2.1 is the latest available software for the ipod touch 2nd gen

  • HT4205 Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS  to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.

    Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS  to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.

    All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

  • HT1222 Is not possible to update my iPod touch 2nd generation  with the iOS 5??? is it only for 3rd generetion???

    Is not possible to update my iPod touch 2nd generation  with the iOS 5??? is it only for 3rd generetion???

    iPod touch 2nd gen can go up to 4.2.1.
    iPod touch 3rd or 4th gen can go up to 5.0.1 (and future updates).

  • My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it.  It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
    However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

  • Problem updating my ipod touch 2nd generation

    I have a ipod touch 2nd generation and in itunes it says its software is updated to iOS 4.2.1. But when i try to download apps it says i need iOS 4.3. but it says its up to date what should i do?

    Those applications can't be used on a second generation iPod touch. You need to get a newer device or give up.
