ITouch 2G upgrade to iOS 4.2

I have the 2nd generation iTouch running IOS 3.1.3 and not able to find a way to upgrade it to IOS 4.2.   I have tried iTunes "check for updates" but it keeps saying that there are no updates available.   Model: MB376C.   Without upgrading, there are very limited apps available.   Thanks!

Sorry, you actually have a first generation unit, and 3.1.3 is the highest possible.

  • Can my 2nd generation itouch be upgraded to ios 6

    I am trying to install facebook to my iTouch but it says i need to upgrade to ios 6..   can that be done with this 2nd generation model / 32GB?

    See below:
    It doesn't appear you can, and you must have a Touch 3rd Gen if you are running 5.1.1.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • TS3694 getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my itouch. All PC software is currect, I have disconnected all USB ports and even turned off all security and still get a 3014 error. I got this after I upgraded to IOS 10.7.0.21

    I am getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my iTouch after upgrading to 10.7.0.21. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.My PC is current with upgrades, I have unplugged all USB connections and I have disabled my firewall security.

    Did you try this:
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    Are you sure it's a 3rd Gen? If it's an 8GB or 16GB model then it's a 2nd Gen and 4.2.1 is the latest

  • Just upgraded to iOS 7 and messages are showing up on multiple phones within our family.  We all use the same iCloud account. I believe this happened the last time there was a major iOS upgrade but I can't remember what the fix was!  Help!

    The four members of my family just upgraded to iOS 7 last night.  We now find that we are receiving each other's text messages.  It's possible that during the installs, a few members may not have "unckecked" the multiple phone numbers they can be reached on.  I know that I had to uncheck my husbands work mobile number and work email address as they came up as choices for contacting me.  So now I am receiving some of my daughter's text messages on my phone - she's not impressed!  My husband is receiving my texts etc...  It's a mess!  I appreciate any help anyone can offer!

    I had this problem last night as well.  Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine.  When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal.  However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved.  I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about.  Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW).  To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options...   One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone.  I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings.  The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time,  and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings.  Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information.  When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account.  Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up.  This resolved the problem for us.  I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed.  So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.

  • After upgrade to IOS 8.3  iPad Air no longer connects to iTunes

    Today I upgraded my Macbook Air to Yosemite 10.3 and my iPad Air to IOS 8.3
    After upgrading the iPad I was asked to connect it via cable to iTunes in order to allow for wireless sync.
    When plugging the cable in, the iPad starts sending endless alert beeps and the top line of the screen is shaking. On iTunes the error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." appears with every alert beep from the iPAD. No matter how often the OK button is pressed, the message appears rightaway again.
    I made a full backup of the iPad Air before upgrading to IOS 8.3 but I am very reluctant to reset the iPad as the same error might come up when connecting the iPad after reset to iTunes and then I would not be able to restore it at all.
    Does anyone had a similar experience and/or is there any known workaround?
    Many Thanks for any suggestion.
    G.W

    Thanks for your further consideration, much apreciated. I tried a different cable, different port and did reboot and soft reset. I also did reset of settings on iPad, just in case.
    As  I can with no problems use the same USB cable and USB port with my iPhone to connect to iTunes, the issue must be somewhat with the iPad Air and iTunes on my Macbook Air. I also can connect the iPad with the same USB Cable to iTunes on a different Macbook with no issues.
    I think, best is to do a full backup on a different machine and then setting back the iPad to initial state, followed by a restore.
    This I can (hopefully successfully) do with iTunes on a different Macbook.
    Many thanks for you kind support.

  • Iphone 4 since upgrade to ios 5.1.1 no longer works with made for itunes, iphone devices.

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 my Iphone no longer works for playing music thorugh my Apline car unit, My Logic 3 clock radio, and a Next made for ipod device.
    I can sync through ITunes on the PC and can also play videos through the HDMI adapter.   My wifes iphone 4s and the kids  hand me down iphone 3s still play fine through these made for Itunes , Ipod , Iphone devices.
    I want to downgrade back to the prior IOS  I had before Apple encouraged me to install this bugged one.   How do I go about getting a legit non jailbroken prior IOS version installed on my Iphone?
    Is Apple aware of this issue , as I have seen blogs about this it is affecting other people?   Will this issue be resolved with ios 6?
    Can I get the beta ?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Agreed. Same thing here. Just bought a late model Alpine INE-S920Hd and it is all kinds of broken. I think this is happening because Apple shifted the music and video. Totally buggy. Bluetooth refuses to work properly, too. A2dp keeps stealing the audio from Pandora in the Alpine interface. The ipod controls dont work at all.

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

  • HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

    Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

    No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
    Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

  • Caller id not working after upgrade to IOS 8.

    I have an iPhone 5 which I upgraded to IOS 8.  After the upgrade the caller id does not shows the person's name (which I have on my Contacts) on the screen.  Now I installed IOS 8.1.1 but the problem persists.  This happens also on an iPhone 5S from my office.
    Any recommendations?

    Do not pay attention to the previous comment.  Sometimes names are shown for numbers stored in IOS address book or Exchange and sometimes (most of the time) not.

  • IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.
