2nd Generation Ipod Touch Uses

Greetings
I want to buy a new iPod mp3 player (for less than 100$) and am not interested in playing the game of participating in persistent product obsolescence = Having to purchase a new iThing every 2 years for continued iOS update relevance.
2nd Generation iPod Touches are becoming quite affordable for me, especially if you can fix something easy like the digitizer. This may be intriguing to me.
I have read countless forums about people who are very upset about losing the ability to be engaged with the AppWorld due to their product iOS becoming obsolete. I AM NOT fueling that fire and have already learned about all that.
What I want to know is what DOES work on an obsolete iPod Touch 2nd Generation.
I use a PC with iTunes for my music, and would like to load my music from my PC onto this iPod Touch consistantly.
Is it safe to assume that despite being an old iOS, it still can function the following:
- an iTunes/mp3 player
- videos
- internet via wifi
- others?
Thanks

There are still some apps that work with iOS 4.2.1 and a 2G iPod

Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
Thanks,
dukegirl90

I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
Will this happen with the iHome?

2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook

Hello all,
So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.

2nd Generation iPod Touch Downgrade

Hi, I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1, and I am wanting to downgrade to iOS 3.1.3 or earlier, simply to speed the device up and I have this iPod more because I collect them, and to me it's more authentic with iOS 3 or 2. I am receiving the iTunes error 1646 when trying to restore with the older firmware (I have the firmware on my computer as I used to back them up, I backed it up when 3.1.3 came out). Thank you in advance

That's a shame, this iPod could still be useable if it were on older firmware. I guess it's to do with people downgrading for jailbreaking which I DO NOT want to do (I don't jailbreak any of my devices)

2nd Generation Ipod Touch Sync issue with Apps.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch and Itunes says that I have 6 apps that need to be updated. But when I go to the Itunes app area and try to update it says there is not updates. How do I determine which apps are causing the issue? What can I do to reset the number? Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks! Dave

My guess is that those Apps require iOS 4.3 or later, which a 2nd generation Touch cannot install.
So the notification in iTunes (programme on your computer) will say there are updates to the Apps, because there are. However, since your iPod cannot use them, if you look at the App Store App on your iPod, those Apps won't be (shouldn't be) listed. Occasionally, I think they do get added to the notification number showing in the Apps Store icon on the iPod. I currently have two Apps like that.
Important:
What you should not do must not do is update the Apps in your iTunes Library (on the computer). If you do, then your next Sync of the iPod Touch to your iTunes Library will remove the App from your iPod and you will lose the App.
My advice is that you ignore the notification number in your Apps Store App icon. It is no longer accurate or even meaningful. Instead, go to the Apps section of your iTunes Library and click on the X updates Available message. That will take you to the Store and list the updateable Apps. Unfortunately, you will need to check each one individually for it's Requirements. If it now requires iOS 4.3 or later - or an iPod Touch 3rd generation running iOS 4.2.1, do not download it. I think that now, every update will require iOS 4.3 or iOS 5, so there will probably be no Apps that you can update. If you do find one, you can update just that individual one by selecting Update as shown below.
I'm in the same boat as you:
Unfortunately, far too many people simply rant on about this, so that it's impossible to get together and lobby Apple to modify this so that those of us with older iPods can continue to use older versions of the Apps. They (Apple) appear to have forgotten that if an existing customer is not in a position to replace their aging iPod with the latest one, then that customer may no longer be able to use an App - thus losing the App's designer his/her customers.
I can see that their thinking is obviously; "the customer will buy a newer iPod because they want to have the latest iPod/they want to continue to use their Apps".
Hhhmmm! Not in the real world!

Upgrading software from 2.2 on a 2nd generation ipod touch

I have a 2nd generation IPOD touch and its saying its upgraded to the correct software which is 2.2, but I know it can upgrade to 4.0. There are some apps I want to use on it, but cant because the software is not upgraded high enough. Any advice on how I can get it upgraded to the latest software that it can take? I tried to restore it, but that did not work.
Thanks

It is easy to tell a 1G form a 2G from the shape of the antenea cover, the black plastic in the upper left of the back of the iPod.
A 1G can go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here

HT4972 Why 2nd generation IPod Touch is not allowed to update with newer IOS?

Why 2nd generation ipod touch not allowed to update its OS to IOS 5 or later? This limitation made that IPod more or less useless as updated apps cannot be installed.

Be sure to backup your current apps. They can not be downloaded again, Earlier iOS apps are becoming increasingly difficult to find. You may want to look at VintApps, new in the Apple app store, that makes this much easier.
https://www.facebook.com/VintApps313
Although there are thousands of available apps to choose from, they will definitively not be the latest greatest.
I wrote my 99 cent app specifically to help solve this kind of problem. I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."

How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps. It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3. How do I get that on this ipod? This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch. I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

How can a 2nd generation iPod Touch access the Cloud?

I am a MobileMe user with a 2nd generation iPod Touch and a Macbook. I do not have an iPhone. I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5 and want to upgrade my iPod Touch to ios5 so I can be ready to switch to the cloud when MobileMe expires for my email, calendars, contacts, etc.—but nothing happens when I plug the iPod Touch into my computer. Can I download ios5 some other way? If not, how will I be able to access the Cloud when MobileMe quits?

You can only upgrade 3rd Generation and 4rth generation iPod touches to IOS-5, sorry, see this page on the compatability: http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html

Update. 2ND generation ipod touch.

Can i update a 2nd generation ipod to IOS5 ? I know that below "about" in "general" there is suppost to be a thing that says update but my ipod doesn't have that. And, when i go to itunes it doesn't let me update it. Help !! Please !

I hope I didn't find you too late, Krrishlnd or anyone else interested, but when I inadvertently updated some apps beyond my 2nd generation iPod's iOS 4.2.1 capability, since I also have a new 3rd generation iPad, and my iTunes dutifully tries to update those apps beyond my iPod's capabilities--or if an app's "improvements" are worse than the previous version, I go to the trash on my Mac's desktop and open it. Yes, my iTunes normally catches the apps in question, and will state that the app is incompatible with my Touch, but occasionally an app slips through. In your Trash, unless you empty it regularly, you'll find iTunes' discarded previous versions of your apps. In fact you may find several earlier versions of the same apps in question, if it has been an unusually long time since you've emptied your trash. Newer Mac OS 10.X doesn't routinely empty the Trash like OS 9 and earlier used to do on shutdown and restart, so there's hope here. The discarded apps have abbreviated names you'll probably recognize, all with .ipa extensions at the end. They aren't overwritten when iTunes updates your iOS devices; iTunes just removes them and places them intact in the Trash.
What I do is make up a new folder (call it something like "iOS apps recovered from Trash" or whatever you like), either on my desktop or on an external harddrive, and select pretty much every app in my Trash (look for the extension .ipa) and haul them out of the trash to the new folder. From there (you can't open or use files directly from in Trash--your computer will just let you know you can't do it), just double-click on the older version of the app you want to reinstall on your 2nd generation iPod Touch. Your iTunes will ask if you want to replace the newer version with the older one. Click OK and then plug in your iPod Touch and let iTunes update it. I've restored apps back to working versions when app authors have mistakenly released newer versions too buggy or incompatible (despite being advertised otherwise) with my iPod Touch on several occasions using this method. If you create the folder on your desktop, the selected Trash's contents empty into it. If on an external harddrive, the originals remain in the trash--you may empty the Trash now that you've made the back-up folder.
If you have previously discarded the Trash contents, your only option now is to search on the Internet for archived copies of the apps in question. Just make sure your antivirus software is up to date, since one never knows where these apps have been...
I hope this helps. This method has spared me many headaches over the past couple of years. Hope your kid, in the mean time, hasn't yelled at you so loudly you have had to take away his/her iPod for bad attitude. Good luck.

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.
