Since my ipod touch 2g isn't compatible with ios5, where can i get ios 4.2.1?

It says that ios 5 isn't compatible with ipod touch 2nd generation... I just got a new computer and need to update my ipod to version 4.2.1 but I don't know where to get it?

Just follow the updating instructions here:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
With the iPod connected to the computer, clicking on update/check for update in the Summary pane in iTunes will get it updated.

  • I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC.  I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it.  How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

    I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC.  I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it.  How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?  I have also tried may suggestions on the apple support site and none have worked.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    You need iTunes version 11+.

    Yes but it might be too slow for some purposes.  Google for the instructions for setting upu your win 7 comnputer as a wifi hotspot.  I Googled for:

  • Ipod touch is no longer compatible with Gear Box??

    I turned on Gear Box with Ipod touch attached and having been avoiding update notifications, decided to go ahead and let it update ios 5 thingy.  Once updated via my laptop connection I put it back in the slot on the gear box and now I get a message on the Ipod that Gear Box no longer recognizes Ipod Touch.  Tried it a few times, but just won't work.  The Ipod works on the battery only.   And of course it happened on Sat night so no support via phone.  Any help will be appreciate.
    Trish

    Thanks to Gear 4, not the Apple phone support, my Ipod touch is now working with Gear box.  You have to do a hard reset once or twice and then turn the Gear 4 system on, turn your Ipod touch on to music, and insert it into the dock.  It should work then.  If not, I suggest you contact Gear 4.

  • My iPod touch (4th gen) suddenly went blank, and I can't get it back on!

    I was listening to music and downloading songs from the iTunes Store on my iPod touch (4th gen) when suddenly the screen went blank. The music I was listening to was still playing in my headphones. When I unplugged the headphones, the music oddly continued playing from the built-in speakers, instead of pausing like it normally does when you remove the headphones without pausing. I think the music finally stopped shortly after I plugged the headphones back in.
    Since this happened, the iPod has not responded at all when I press or hold buttons. The screen has remained blank and turned off. Surprisingly, iTunes still recognizes the iPod when I connect it to my computer (Windows Vista laptop, if it matters) and tries to sync. Since iTunes is very poorly written, it almost always freezes at some point before I can successfully finish syncing, but this was happening before my iPod blank-screened, so it isn't related to the problem.
    What's wrong with my iPod, and how do I fix it? Will I need to have it repaired? Thanks!

    My terrible HughesNet connection screwed up, and I ended up posting this twice. Please go here for the thread you should reply on: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3178195
    Thanks!

  • Ipod Touch Video Out not working with IOS5?

    I normally could play video just fine from my Ipod to my TV and Exercise machine via the ipod plug in on the bottom...however since IOS5...video will play for  secs. on the TV then TV goes blank....sound works and the IPOD Touch displays the normal "Vidoe out" screen mode that normally shows when the video is being displayed on the TV.  any ideas?  any way to revert back to the previous OS?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    What cable are yu using and what is the source of the videos?
    Have yu tried another app that supports TV out?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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.

  • TS2634 My Ipod Touch fell and cracked. It works but, can I get it fixed?

    My Ipod Touch fell on cement and now, It is not looking in good shape..It cracked. So, i was wondering if i could find some answers. Can i get it fixed or do i need to buy a new one and lose all my progress?

    If it works, make a backup. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now (assuming you have iOS 5.0 or later; if not, let us know).
    Technically, you don't need to buy a new one. You get a discounted rate for an out-of-warranty replacement iPod since this type of damage is not covered under the warranty. For exact pricing, see: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You do not lose your progress if you have a backup.

  • My daughter tried to open a game on her Ipod touch and the screen went white and I can't get it to do ANYTHING...I've tried holding the sleep/wake button and it does NOTHING, still only a white screen.

    My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If that doesn't work, try a Restore:
    From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
    There's more that you can do.  Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
    By the way, I always allow "push."  That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it.  However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing.

  • How come I can't access the app store on my iPod touch? There is no icon and I can't get to it through the iTunes icon. My iPod does have the latest software.

    See question above.

    On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
    The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
    I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
    Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.
