TA48312 update for ios on 2nd generation ipod touch

Please help!
I'm in need of an IOs update for the 2nd generation ipod touch.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, jbeaugh

Look on the back of the case. A 2nd gen iPod will have a 2008 Apple trademark on the back. 3rd gen will not. 2nd gen devices cannot be upgraded past iOS 4.2.1
That 3.1.2 would be your iOS version. Plug your device into iTunes and on the device About screen you will have the option to update your iPod. Hopefully this was what you needed. Good luck.

  • Does Apple plan to discontinue support/update for 2nd Generation iPod touch as latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1?

    I have 2nd Generation iPod touch and latest iOS release for it is 4.2.1. Most of the Apps on iTunes now require iOS 4.3 at minimum. Isn't it outrageous that Apple is not supporting such iOS update for older iPod? Is there plan to discontinue such support?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch too and I currently have 24 Apps that I cannot update. Unlike you however, I hold the App developers responsible for the fact that they (the App developers) are not supporting iOS 4.2.1.    
    It is the App devloper who decides to modify their App so that it then requires a particular version of the iOS. Since a developer can have a free and a paid version of an App, it begs the question why don't they have the older and newer versions.
    I now check the requirements for an App before I click on update. If it still only requires iOS 4.2.1, then I can update. If it requires a higher iOS, the I simply don't update it. One good thing is that by now, most of the older Apps are quite stable and bug free, so the update is usually to give something extra. Since I cannot update the App, I simply forgo the "extras".

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Note The "May nned service" means a hardware problem.

  • 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.

    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 to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
    I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
    people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
    possible??

    4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
    3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

  • 2nd Generation iPod Touch won't upgrade to iOS 4.2

    I just traded my old 2nd generation ipod touch with apple for one with a new battery. I sync it with itynes and am told to upgrade the IOS to 4.2. When I try, i get this message: The iPod "Bob's iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1). 
    I have also tried to update the software using my older MacBook with an earlier version of iTunes and get the same message.  I even complained to Apple and they sent me another replacement and I still get the message. I am told that you can upgrade the 2nd generation to 4.2 but it doesn't work for me. I have disabled my antivirus software and everything else I can think of. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I may be doing wrong?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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.

  • I tried synching my 2nd generation ipod touch and it told me to update the software. Then it said "error 37" and could not complete updating but it has left me with an ipod that is not recognised by my pc and wont turn on or anything- just black

  • Ibooks for 2nd generation ipod touch

    I have my daughter's old 2nd generation ipod touch and would like to use it for books and music only.  The only problem is I can't get ibooks to download to it.  Any suggestions?

    Well you cant download books because the ibook app needs ios 5 and the 2g doesnt support later version of ios. The latest is 4.2.1.
    But you can download and hear music on there.
