Ipod Touch Gen 2 update issues

Trying to transfer music from my itunes on my computer to my ipod touch, however it says that my Ipod is not up to date for these transfers to take place and needs version 8.2 or older. How do I go about updating my ipod for a newer update?

What firmware revision on the iPod do you have (setting>General>About>version)? What computer operating system do you have and to what level (service pack number)? What revision of iTunes is installed on the computer?
The 8.2 would seem to apply to the iTunes revision but that is very old.

  • Ipod Touch Gen 2 App Update Issue :(

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch gen 2, recently it has stopped updating my apps. When I click on "update," it will ask me for my password, the it'll say "waiting" with the little bar, then the icon will return to normal, but no update has taken place and the App Store icon will show the original number of updates. I have turned the wifi on and off and rebooted many times.
    If I do a restore from iTunes, do I lose all game progresses?
    Help please.

    Can you update the apps pn your computer?
    Your game progresses are part of the backup data. In order to save them before you restore, back up manually by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "backup". A backup without a sync process will be performed. See what else is part of the backup here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    Saving data and restoreing "as new ipod" is also described here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

  • I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

    What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

    And what is the wording of the error message?

  • My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer.  Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1  iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"

    On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
    Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
    You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
    What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
    My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to update ipod touch gen 2

    Is there anyway to upgrade the software on the ipod touch gen 2, its up to date on the software but need a newer one is it possible to get newer software to get more games and apps to work. Any help would be great.

    The CPU in that device does not have enough internal RAM to support any iOS above 4.2.1
    But, there are still over 60,000 alternative vintage apps available that will work on it.

    I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

  • IPod touch gen 4 error 1602

    I have iPod touch gen 4.

    I browsing abaout error 1602. it said, cause software update and firewall.

    mm.
    maybe is problem hardware?
    if problem hardware approximately what is a part problem?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps. If you're using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue isn't resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting and another computer isn't available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above don't resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. You may resolve this error by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. Learn more about troubleshooting security software.
    Could be a hardware problem since:
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Ipod Touch Gen 5 will not show up in Itunes but it shows up under "My Computer" help!

    I have a new Ipod touch gen 5. It shows up under my computer but not under devices in the side bar like it should with Itunes 11.

  • IOS 6 for iPod Touch Gen.1/2

    Hi,
    I have an old iPod Touch(probably Gen. 1 or 2).
    Can I or do I need to upgrade it to the latest iOS 6?
    What advantages will I get from the iPod Touch(Gen. 1 or 2) if it is upgraded to iOS 6?
    Thanks.

    Neither the 1st, nor the 2nd generation Touch can be updated to iOS 6.
    1st gen can go as high as iOS 3.1.3
    2nd gen can go as high as iOS 4.2.1
    (And I think 3rd gen can only go as high as iOS 5.?? but I'm sure one of the other regular contriboutors will contirm or correct me.)

  • Ipod touch gen 2

    i recently had to do a factory reset on my IPOD Touch gen 2, and can not load anu of the games that were previously on the touch.  every app says I need to have version 4.3 or higher. 
    what is the deal with this?

    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.

  • Just bought an iPod Touch without january updates

    Hi,
    Two days ago, I bought an iPod Touch 8GB in the Apple Store of the 5th avenue. I asked if the firmware included the january updates and the Apple salesman told me all iPods were up to date.
    Unfortunately, this was wrong. I paid full price for an iPod Touch without the updates, and I can't find any link to customer assistance for such an issue on apple.com. Since I already left NY, I can't go to an Apple Store, too.
    Anybody knows what to do? I find it really amazing that 1 month after the updates, such a problem can occur.
    Thanks

    Hello, 
    Try giving AppleCare in France a call and explain the situation. Keep calm and ask if it's possible that you send in proof of purchase in return for credit on your iTunes account for the difference:
    (Metropolitain) (33) 0825 88 80 24 (DOM-TOM) (33) 0825 77 00 35
    Let us know how you get on.

  • How do you fix a jailbroken ipod touch gen 2?

    How do you fix a jalibroken ipod touch gen 2?  My son's itouch has the apple skull on the mai screen and won't do anything.  Thanks-

    ALl we can say her in this Apple forum s to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd.  Yu can try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Otherwise you will have to go to elsewhere.  Jailbreaking voids the warranty and Apple will no longer help.

  • Please Help! Ipod Touch Gen 5 stuck in restoring mode.

    I purchased a Ipod Touch Gen 5 32gb for christmas and i just brought new songs from itunes and i plugged my ipod in to update the songs, itunes came up with a message saying "itunes has detected ipod in restoring mode, you need to restore ipod before you can use itunes." So i clicked restore and after 40 min it said completed but again the message came up. After restoring it about 5 times, nothing changed. I disconnected my ipod from my pc and it just has the image of the itunes symbol and the usb cord. I have the lastest itunes verson. Ive tried everything but nothings worked and i dont want to jailbreak it. Please help!

    Try:

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - 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.
    - 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.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.
