May I know if IOS 4.2.1 is the latest software update for Ipod touch 2nd generation?
I own a Ipod touch 2nd gen. I realise that more and more apps are unavailable for my Ipod and it cant be updated to IOS 5. May I know if IOS 4.2.1 is the latest update for Ipod 2nd gen?
Yes, it is.

HT2052 iOS Software Update for iPod touch (2nd generation)
I am not able to use previous apps on my iPod touch 2nd generation or even install new apps cause of this issue. I find it very messed up that Apple is inputting these restrictions, because they want people to buy the latest versions of their gadgets. Not everyone finds it necessary to buy every new version of every technology or even have the money to do so. It is just really disappointing...
There is nothing unusual about this at all.
As with any tv, computer, dvd player, car,etc the older hardware is simply not capable of running the latest software.
This is normal.
The second gen was released over 4 years ago. -

IOS 3.1.1 Software Update for iPod touch 1st generation failed.
The downloading process was stucked in the Thank You screen ("Your update is downloading... ") for more than 2 hours and not going anywhere, nothing was downloaded at the end. Anybody has the same issue before?
Reported to the help desk for more than a month, got a reply saying it is an ongoing issue and is still under investigation!
I use the same PC to sync my iPad and had no problem to update it with the latest iOS software.
What could be wrong?If, under "Requirements" it say ipod touch, then yes it will work.
If, under "Requirements" it say iphone, then no.
Look at the requirements. This is why they are posted in the product description in itunes. -
IOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
I have purchased this update from the iTunes store but there's no indication that it is downloading and the ipod is not updating. Verbatim, the screen in iTunes (including an incomplete second sentence) reads:
Your update is now downloading. This can take 30 minutes or more on a typical broadband connection.
Once the download is complete
Please do not disconnect your iPod touch until the update is complete.
I have allowed probably up to 90 minutes on several occasions to download the update but still see nothing. Current download speed at broadbandreports.com is 14 mb/sec.
If I try to repurchase the update, iTunes tells me I've already bought it, but clicking on the download option is no different.
Any advice much appreciated.Try disabling yur computer's security software. You can also contact iTunes:

what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?
Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution. -

Why dont they make IOS 5 for ipod touch 2nd generation
this is crap they shouldn't stop updateing the ipod touch 2nd generation like what they did to the first. i dont want to keep buying a new ipod touch every year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like any other device that uses software, the older hardware cannot run the newest software.
This is completely normal in every way.
You do not have to buy every year. The 3rd gen was released two and a half years ago and can run ios 5.
How many years should it be?
