Go back to the article you asked this question from, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.
The second generation iPod touch can't be updated past 4.2.1.

I my ipod isn't letting me swipe in on the lock screen, and for now, i've given up on that, and i just got a new laptop. So what i'd like to do is not worry about getting in my ipod, but to plug it in my computer and get my music off of it.

You don't have to purchase it again, but you do have to download it. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

My iPod isn't letting me change the song on it's regular format, please help?

Ok, I was playing my music but when I went to change the song, nothing would move on the screen. It would contine on with the song/album but the screen remained frozen. I have no idea what's going on, it's fully charged, I haven't dropped it (It's in a case even if I did happen to), and it hasn't done this before. If I click the home button I can move around on my others apps with no problem, it's only the music that's acting up. Any tips on what to do? Thanks - XXX
Also (Not sure if this is imortant), If I search the song and play it, everything continues playing an all, but it's like I can't click on anything (This is a bit difficult to discribe)

This is an iPod touch, correct?

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible?

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible? Then when i plug my iPod onto iTunes it says it's fully updated.

You don't say which version of iPod you have but apparently it's fully updated to it's capability yet not to the level that newer iPods can go. Some apps do require the latest IOS level.

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music. If I try to play a song it will just skip it and then if I go back to try again it will be greyed out. I can play all my music on iTunes on my computer but only about 10% on my iPod, and the 90% I can't play includes many songs and albums I've bought directly from iTunes. I've tried re-syncing the missing music from my computer but it won't let me, I can't even delete the remaining music. Please help. Thankyou.

The grayed-out sone indicated that the songe files are corrupted.
Try:
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

No.

My computer isn't restarting or shutting off and it says that it's because my Mail app isn't letting it, but the app isn't even open. I need help!

My computer won't let me restart it or shut it off because it says that my Mail app is open, but in fact, the Mail app WILL NOT let me open it, and I tried closing it from the little app bubble itself, nothings working!
I can't access my Mail, or even shut down my computer or restart it.
Does anyone know anything that I can do?

Try seeing if its in the force quit menu
Menu bar/Apple logo
select force quit
and see if mail is in the force quit applications, if so select it and force quit it.

My ipod isn't recognized by itunes

My ipod isn't being recognized by my itunes account. Every time I plug in my Ipod, nothing happens. My ipod doesn't have the connected screen and doesn't charge, and my computer basically doesn't acknowledge its existence at all. I've tried restarting my computer many times and have reinstalled itunes twice to no avail. Please help!

i do not know if this works, but i found this in another post:
I Have An Answer!!! After numerous hours of going through these posts, spending hours going through the trial and error of fixing, an answer has finally appeared!!
This blog http://echeng.com/journal/2006/09/23/itunes-7-broke-my-ipod-nano/
Has a solution of changing the disc format thing me jig here it is:
Start -> Run -> compmgmt.msc
Drill down ‘Storage’, highlight Disk Management
Plug ipod in. Wait.
Make sure the computer management window is the topmost window. If you don’t, you won’t be able to get in there and change the drive letter of your ipod. The ipod will disappear out of the computer management window once itunes rejects it, or accepts your acknowledgement that it’s rejecting it.
Then I think i right clicked on the volume (or something) and changed the drive letter.
Just to make sure windows remembered my change, I ejected the pod and plugged it in again. Looks like it was mapped to the letter I had specified. Don’t know if this setting will hold after a reboot/cold boot.
You may want to scroll through the comments- For vista instead of run go straight to control panel, system and maintenance scroll to the bottom and create and format hard disk partitions, plug ipod in put it as G and hey presto!! hope this works for others.... before syncing with ipod if all this works you may want to download music rescue (brilliant and reliable used it a few times!) and copy all your music from the ipod after formatting.
Really hope this helps someone out there as it did me and looking forward to hearing if it has.

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

My ipod isn't recognized by any computer & itunes, and desplays a sad face.

i have had my ipod mini for eleven months and this is the first problem i have had with it.
i went on a vacation to flordia, and while i was there my ipod crashed. i had dropped it once a few days before the crash, but it continued to play my music after i dropped it.
when i go to turn it on the apple logo appears, then the depressed ipod.
my ipod isn't recognized by any computer or tunes. when i plug it into my computer, the 'do not disconnect' screen doesn't even appear. all that happens is the apple logo screen, then the depressed ipod screen, then a recharging screen appears that is stuck on the lowest point possible.
i have already tried the "five R's" and everything else in the support pages, and so far they have helped me none. all they do is bring you around in huge circles, and you end up on the page you started on.
i run a windows xp, and have everything fully upgraded.
i know, i know, many of you are having similar problems, but could you please only post if you have an answer, thanks.

I know!!! It worked just fine one day, computer recognized it and i could add or remove songs at me leisure, but now I can't even charge it on a computer becasue it doesn't exsist to it. I also tried the five steps, but you can't restore the settings on it if the computer can't find it. Finally I had my sister bending the charge piece in the ipod just for it to show up, I restored it and it didn't make a bit of difference! I lost all 800 songs on it but I still can't charge it or add songs. If you find anything out, let me know!!!

My iPod won't let me delete certain songs from the device

I'm not sure why, but there are certain songs that I've bought that my iPod won't let me delete. You know when you swipe over the song and red delete button shows up? That just isn't happening for certain songs on my iPod and I can't figure out why. There's probably a simple solution hut I'm not exactly great when it comes to technology so I'd really appreciate it I any one could help me out!

- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
