Restored Ipod touch 2nd generation running ver.4.2 unable to reload apps. Say I need iOs 5 to complete. called apple tech line no luck. They say it should work.
I have a Ipod Touch 2nd generation. My ipod froze and would not let me restart it. I restored my Ipod but now I can recover my apps. My ipod says I need to upgrade to iOS 5. I have software 4.2. Contacted Apple tech support I was told I should be able to download them. How can I get upgrade and get back my pre-purchased apps.
It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch, which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and no later. Not only that, but the apps you are trying to install have been updated and now require a higher version of iOS that is not supported on your iPod Touch. If that is the case, you are out of luck, unless you buy a newer iOS device or can recover the older versions of the app that didn't require a later version of iOS. The older versions of the app could still be in your Trash Can/Recycle Bin.

I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?
You can update it to 4.2.1
Open itunes, connect ipod. If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update. -
Wi-Fi - iPod Touch (2nd Generation)
How many hours of wi-fi you can use on a iPod Touch (2nd Generation)?
Usually, you can get more than 3-5 hours out of your battery, if its fully charged, when using wifi, before you should start thinking about letting it rest. Then again, it depends on whether or not you are browsing and pulling up pages with ALOT of heavy web content. Videos can drain the battery, too, so watch out for them. I myself have the same iPod as you, and mine is very reliable as far as the battery goes! Hope this helps.

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.
MimiIt means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.
All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

I have an iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and it's running iOs 4.2.1.
Is there any way I could update it to iOs 4.3 or later? With 4.2.1 theres no good games nor apps to use! If I go to an Apple store could I update it? At my school we use iPod touch (2nd Generation) and it's updated to iOs 4.3.
"Is there any way I could update it to iOs 4.3 or later? "
No. Sorry.
"f I go to an Apple store could I update it? "
Still no.
"At my school we use iPod touch (2nd Generation) and it's updated to iOs 4.3."
No it is not. This is not possible, Ipod touch second gen cannot run anything higher than ios 4.2.1 -

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?
So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow. -
IPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 will not Restore/Reset
I have an iPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 that has gone into disabled mode. The Apple instructions for putting my device into recovery mode are not working and I have a new computer that has never connected/synced with this iPOD before :-( . iTunes just keeps telling me it can't connect to the ipod because I need to type my password into my ipod. IPOD screen still just says disabled. I have tried to get it into restore mode so many times that the "power off slider" won't appear on screen anymore when I hold down the sleep/wake button. The screen just goes black. When I press the home button the disabled screen pops up again. Do I need to take my iPOD to an apple store? The iPOD is named with my name and I have my ID to show the iPOD is mine so will they help me at the store? I have been researching for hours it seems and I just can't find further help on restoration/reset. Side note: was my daughters old iPOD and she does not remember what the password is. Ugh... teenagers! thanks ahead of time.
No reason for an Apple store visit. It not an ID problem at all
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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. -
I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

IPod Touch 2nd Generation won't sync photos anymore
Hi all,
My iPod Touch 2nd generation is running OS 3.1.2 on iTunes 9.0.2, Mac OS 10.6.1. It recently automatically removed all the photos from my iPod Touch and won't let me sync them anymore. I go to the Photos tab on iTunes and the albums/events I want to sync are selected, but when I hit the sync button, I can read the status on the iTunes window stating it's syncing music, then contacts, then whatever, and when it comes to photos, it just flashes "syncing photos" for a millisecond and keeps on going. No error messages, nothing. At the end, no photos are on my iPod and the memory status bar on iTunes shows I have a certain GB of music, apps, other, but no photos.
I've tried to sync all everything from iPhoto just to give it a try, with no luck.
Any ideas?
I've tried to restore my iPod, it works for the first sync, but when I connect the iPod the second time, it removes all the photos again.
Thanks
Tadeuuncheck the Photos Sync and hit Sync. Let it finish. Then go back and check it again and hit Sync. See if that works.

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.
The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working. The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down. On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in. Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works. I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?
Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Can I enable Battery percentage on my iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 5.1.1 without beig jailbroken?
You can enable battery % on ipod touch 4g without jailbreaking it you can use backup bot for itunes. Thats how i enabled it on mine. Step 1: goto http://www.icopybot.com/ibackupbot_setup.exe download and install it if you have windows. Step 2: Next create a backup of your device in iTunes and then CLOSE iTunes (or else you may run into problems later on) do not lock the backup with a password. Step 3: Open iBackupBot. Click the backup you just made Next click "Path" to sort by Path. Step 4: Look for Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist and double click it. On the registration screen that comes up, hit cancel. Step 5: Find <dict> and create a new line after it. Then add this:
<key>SBShowBatteryLevel</key>
<true/>
Step 6: Hit CTRL + S or just the save button at the top left corner of that editor window. Now close the window.
Step 7: Right click that same backup you just edited
Step 8: click restore
Step 9: Done! If you don't see the changes, reboot your iPod.
Enjoy I hope you found this useful! -
My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Froze And Is Trying To Install ALL Of My Apps!
A few hours ago my ipod touch 2nd generation froze, and then it took about 15 minutes to unfreeze. Now it's working very slow. I soon realized that it's trying to istall ALL of my apps I've downloaded since I got my ipod. I had to attempt to shut off the wifi so it would stop. right now over 25 apps are on Pause. I don't want to restore my ipod because I last did a backup about a few months ago. My computer is out of memory, and it's a very slow computer. I recently send an email to apple because of an issue I had with two missing itunes store purchases that it deleted off of my ipod when I connected it with itunes. They never emailed me back and it's been over 24 hours. Could apple be attempting to send me back ALL of the things I've purchased and downloaded with my account? If they are, IT'S NOT FUNNY
- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
