IPod touch 8gb, model MB528LL version 4.2.1

I found my old iPod touch and was hoping to get it up to date to put some of the apps from my iPhone 5c that my twin 2 year olds like. Can I not get a newer version that would be compatible with those games? Or at least Pandora or Sirius XM app?

No, you can't.

I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

Ipod Touch 8GB Model a1213. Cant get to HOME screen?

My friend bought new in '08 a iPod Touch 8GB- Model a1213. Her son had always loade music but, he pasted away so, she was tried herself. Now her screen, when powered up, shows a Musical Note over a Disk, under that, shows the Plug that connects to bottom of iPod Touch. We cant get to home or any other screen. Thanks!

It sounds like the iPod is in Recovery Mode. You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to her iTunes library and restore it.

IPod Touch 8GB, Why so slow?

I have two iTouchs: one 8GB and one 32GB. I have them conected to the same wireless modem: the 32GB has no problem searching and downloading podcasts, apps and ebooks, and navegates normally; while the 8GB just hangs endlessly. What can be the problem?
iPod Touch 8GB has software version 3.1.3

It wasn't 20 minutes before I read your answer, when I hit upon your solution number one. Still, I'm very thankful for your assistance.
Now, I just want to coment something rather odd I observe: that, whenever the iTouch 32 (the one I already had) was surfing, the iTouch 8 (the slow new one) started to comunicate with the modem just fine! For instance, while I was watching some YouTube video on the 32, the 8 had no problem installing an app. Of course, it'd take more than my rudimentary knowledge of computers to explain that behaviour.
Again, cheers mate!

Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

HT1476 Help!!! Please!!! iPod touch 8gb w/camera (older model) won't charge :(

Have an older model iPod touch 8gb w/camera that will not charge. I know it's not the cord or the device we are using to charge it because ithas been working to charge it before and it charges all our other ipod devices.
An example of what it does.The battery will show that it needs to be charged in the upper right corner, it'll be red. So we will plug the iPod in to charge. Even if it's plugged in all night long, it doesn't charge. The green battery icon that used to be on the screen when it was plugged in, no longer shows up. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner doesn't change from red and doesn't show it's plugged in. I have tried to holdoing down the power and home button to reset the device. I'm not sure what else to try. Are there places to take your iPod for repair or should I contact apple? HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how in the heck can i updrade it to get better apps.

i have a i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how do i updrade it to get more apps

iOS 4.2.1 is the last version of iOS that a 2nd-gen iPod touch can run. If the apps you want require a newer version of iOS, then you'll have to purchase a newer-model iPod.
Regards.

Blue Screen when I plug my Ipod Touch 8GB(Late 2009)

My problem is when I plug my Ipod touch 8gb to my laptop(Acer Aspire 5632wlmi,intel core 2 duo processor T5200-1,60 GHz-533MHz L2 cache,1GBDDR 2,Up to 384MB NVIDIAGeForce GO7300 TurboCache,System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,all required updates are done),the windows system detects problem and windows shuts down to prevent damage to my computer,this error message appears in blue screen with the technical information of :
*Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
And error report content is:
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\Mini031610-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
Thanks In advance
Best Regards
PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.

You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:

It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

Replacement iPod Touch 8GB (2nd Gen) beggining to fall apart after two months!

Well my problem is plain and simple
My first iPod touch (8GB 2nd Gen) was working perfectly fine until one day it slipped from my hands and the screen shattered. I took the iPod in to Best Buy and they overlooked the serial number and looked up my plan (product replacement plan) and they took it in and sent it out. They promised me a refurbished or a new iPod touch. They said it should take only about 5 days but it took two weeks, but in all fairness it was around a busy holiday seasons so i can understand the holdup. My Apple warranty was already up when i took the first iPod in for a replacement so i just used my product replacement plan. 2 weeks later i recieved my refurbished iPod in the mail, how could i tell it was refurbished, well for one the back of the iPod was void of any scratches but there was no Apple or "iPod" branding?! They also did not include the headphones used with current and past models, they shipped headphones that were changed years ago to a new design, i tested the headphones, and they were broken. I just said oh well and when i went to plug it in with the "new" cord they included i noticed there were stains all over it and i had to disinfect them (..yuck!) it made me certainly rethink even using the headphones in the first place. One thing that seemed odd to me was that it included OS 3.0 since 2nd gen iPods only ship with OS 2.2.1 and after checking the settings i confirmed it was in fact a sencond generation iPod Touch. After about a week of use i plugged in my headphones and i could only hear through one side, i unplugged them and replugged them and the problem was resolved and i thought it was a fluke, so i just disregarded it but its been a month now and since last week no matter what headphones i use i always get sound from the left channel. I was honestly furious that after only 1 month the ipod it starting to fall apart in front of me. I inspected the iPod closely and noticed that if held a certain way the glass on the lower right coner of the iPod begins to move around. The home button has also failed to respond quite a few times. Then when one day the external speaker started to begin to become flaky and sometimes not work at all, i just said "thats it!" im currently resetting the iPod to factory settings and putting a test sound on it for them to listen to and see the problem. In fact when i received it there was already a test sound on it so i presume there was a problem with the jack previously? I am repackiging everything and am off to geek squad tommorow, if there is any other advice to offer please let me know. Ive treated the iPod like a child after the first one shattered and the device has never been dropped, the screen and the back cover are spotless (minus the small scratches on the back chrome cover just from normal use) the iPod has never been near water and i checked the iPod to see if infact water could have gotten in the iPod and the sticker was still sparkling white, i am sorry Best Buy ive been a customer for years and while do not mean to rant and complain it has only been to months and its already falling apart?! i am sorry that is just not acceptable.

I just got my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb replacement ipod in the mail two days ago. And i fell that my screen has cracked way to easily. I had my other ipod touch before this one for a year and a half and the screen had never been cracked. But my first two days with this "replacement" ipod has cracked twice. i am willing to take the blame for the first crack as i dropped it in the street and my case didnt do its job, but lasnight i put my hand in my sweatpants pocked only to find small peices of glass. i took out my ipod and there was the problem. a large shatter on the bottom near the homebutton. Seriously 2 cracks in 2 days with my REPLACEMENT after 360+ days and no cracks with my forsure APPLE ipod touch? I doubt my ipod touch screen is even made by apple.

HT4623 i have the ipod touch 8gb. i need to update the software 4.3. i try but don;t due that.

I HAVE THE IPOD TOUCH 8GB I NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE 4.3. I TRY BUT DONT FIX

If it's a second generation iPod touch, it can't be updated past 4.2.1. 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones are second generation.

Synching iPod Touch with iTunes latest versions messes up e-mail progams on the Touch; help

Twice now in the past week I have synched my 64GB latest model iPod Touch with the latest version of iTunes and it has completely messed up my e-mail programs on the Touch; I cannot get or send e-mails. I have to delete the e-mail accounts and then add them back in so that I can receive and send e-mails. What has caused this and how can I eliminate this from happening in the future when I sync? Thank you for your help.
carol

Yes, I find it strange, too but it has happened both times I have synched the Touch in the past week. iTunes was updated right before the first time this happened. I have Verizon for my e-mail and it would not work on the Touch but I was able to send and receive emails on my desk top. It is frustrating to say the least to spend time deleting and then adding the e-mail accounts to the Touch.

New ipod touch 8gb wont read on computer at all...not even in "my computer"

i bought an ipod touch 8gb today and brought it home and downloaded itunes then plugged ipod in...says its got full battery, but on 4 computers, it wont read on any of them using every usb port there was on each computer...ipod wont even show up in "my computer"....what is wrong? i have tried the updating drivers and reinstallling drivers and reinstalling itunes and even going down to itunes 7 and 8 versions but no matter what i do my computers will not read my ipod touch...yes the usb ports do work and are minimum 2.0 and system requirements are exceeded as i have expensive computers...what is wrong

I had the same problem when I bought my Touch 2 months ago. Here is fix I used:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090209182107AAR4juY
First (MAKE SURE YOUR IPOD ISNT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, AND ITUNES IS RUNNING!!) you have to reset it by holding your home and power button. Make sure you slide it to power off. Then as it powers on, hold the home button and connect your ipod to the computer at the same time. (DO NOT LET IT GO FOR ANY REASON) as iTunes loads it, it'll say that your iPod is going into recovery mode. Click ok, and restore it.
It worked for me. Hope it helps...
