Older iPod touch and ibooks
version os 4.2.1 and ibooks seem to be a problem. can you help?
thank's
- The 2G iPod can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. It does not have the hardware to support a higher iOS version.
- 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.
- You can only download the current version from the App store.

I have the older ipod touch and i was wondering can it download version 4.3?
No.
It has to be 3rd or 4th generation.
What generation do you have?
Look on the back of the iPod Touch for one of these numbers.
iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367 -
I have a second generation Ipod and it was delivered to me without an operating system how do I download one on it
Hello Michael.Suarez,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the iPod touch is showing an iTunes logo with a cable, then it is in recovery mode and will need to be restored to the factory settings. To get step-by-step instructions on how to do this, please follow the article below.

Older ipod touch and new mobile me calendar
I have an older touch that can only run IOS 3.xx. I just updated my mobileMe calendar and it won't synch appointments. It says I need IOS4. Is there any way besides 'hand' synching using iTunes to keep appointments synched?
You might be able to do it if you can generate/sync you calendar with a Google calender and set up the iPod to use an exchange account for Google. Google exchange account syncs via wifi and is supported by iOS 3 and later. See:

2nd generation ipod touch and ibooks
Last year I downloaded the Nook app and was able to purchase and read books on my ipod. I recently purchased an ebook and iTunes said that I needed to download ibook. I have not been able to find an ios app that will allow me to download ibooks. Can I circumvent this and just use the Nook app that worked so beautifully just last year? Update says that I have the most current ios app.
I accidentaly deleted iBooks on my itouch 2G a few months ago and lost a lot of books in that way.
I got it back by downlaoding the latest version of iTunes, there you have a list of previosuly downlaod apps on your itouch. Sync your itouch first. When that is done, go to the list again, there is an option to install the app(in this case iBooks)and it downlaoded within 20 seconds!
I got all my books back and I am very happy
I hope this works for you too! -
my ipod is a 16gb 1st gen model..
if so how much is the discount?Apple will only give you a 10% "recycling" discount if you turn an old iPod in when you purchase a new one. You are usually better off just selling the old one

I have 2 older iPod touches and 1 computer. It will reconize one but not the other. How do I sync music on both?
Try:
- 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.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

I believe that the apple company should consider the upgrading of older ipod touch and take action for us, customers, who have such devices and need an upgrading to newer operating system on an old version of ipod touch.
Many newer apps require iOS versions later than iOS 4.2.1 which is probably what you're using. It's all part of a vast conspiracy to get us to buy new stuff all the time.
You can determine requirements for the apps you want to buy by searching for them in the iTunes App Store: -
i am trying to put music into my 3rd gen ipod touch and older ipod shuffle but neither are popping up on itunes, what could be the problem?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode. I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account. Help..
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -
I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch. When I connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I make this older iPod show up on my iTunes?
Hi ChristianHelpplz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
Check your USB connections
Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different USB cable.
Restart your device
Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
Restart your Mac
Turn your Mac off and back on.
Update your software
Check for software updates on your Mac.
Check for an iTunes update.
Check your security software
If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
From:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!
I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

Reload older versions from iTunes on a computer, or buy a newer device.

New calendar and older iPod Touch
Since the "old" calendar will be de-activated next month, I will no longer be able to sync my first generation iPod Touch to the new calendar. I use the old calendar now on my intel iMacs, MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and my old iPod Touch. Everything works well, but there is no software download available to upgrade the older iPod Touch to sync with my newer stuff after May 5. Basically my iPod Touch becomes a music player; I need the calendar function and do not feel the justification of buying a new iPod Touch when I already have one that works well and cost a lot of money when I bought it three years ago. Why can't Apple just leave things as they are? We have the choice of which calendar we want to use, and they are taking that option away with utter disregard for those of us who have already spent our $$$$ for an iPod Touch and still need to be able to use it. I urge Apple to either offer a software upgrade or to just leave the old calendar turned on. Have a little respect for your customers.
You might be able to do it if you can generate/sync you calendar with a Google calender and set up the iPod to use an exchange account for Google. Google exchange account syncs via wifi and is supported by iOS 3 and later. See:

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.
Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.
