Troubles with ITunes for 2nd Generation Ipod Touch.

My boyfriend bought me a new 2nd Generation Ipod touch for Xmas and I installed Itunes on my computer. It worked, but when I try to transfer songs over to the Touch it wont allow me, and shows a circle with a cross in it. I have it on manually sync music to Ipod touch and still it doesn't work. I tried using the itunes help menu but it failed me and didn't work either.
Could someone please help me? I have Windows XP, and the computer type is LG I believe. Any helpful info can be sent to [email protected] or too this thread. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Will iOS5 become available for 2nd generation iPod Touch?

I thought iMessage would be the perfect solution for texting while I am abroad, only to find that 2nd generation iPod touch isn't compatible? That's ridiculous. Anyone know if it will become available??

same as for iphone3G which is hardwareside comparable to the 2nd gen touch.
iOS5 needs 256MB of Ram to start with, as well as certain features in the CPU that were not available before the iphone 3GS and the iPod touch 3rd gen.
So your device is now maxed out . Enjoy it as it is.

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".

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.

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.

What is the newest OS for 2nd generation ipod touch?

I am looking at buying an iPod touch 2nd Gen just for music purposes. I am mainly going to use it with SiriusXM app. First I wanted to know what is the newest iOS for the ipod touch? Second, I wanted to know if anyone has a 2nd gen ipod touch and is using the SiriusXM app?

Just note that if yo are getting a 3G iPod make sure that your get a 3G. A 2G and 3G look the same on the outside except for the model number on the back
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

IOS4 for 2nd generation ipod touch

can current apps in my ipod works after upgraded to ios4?

Ok, i got my iOS 4 to install finally, after 2 restarts (Microsoft updates... idk if that did it) and a whole lot of try try again, I found something though, that might have did it.
When you are restoring, all the other tabs (Apps, Music, Movies, Podcasts.... Contacts) in iTunes, those for some reason get unchecked, so the restore is trying to add all the apps back and other media/information; while iTunes sync options are not selected. Basically, i think what is happening is, the restore says install, but iTunes sees the "not selected to be synced"-no install, the two contradict the other, so you wind up with useless app icons, and no music/multimedia.
How I solved it, was I stopped the restore, told it I wanted to start anew ipod, then reselected that I wanted to sync Music, Apps, etc. to my ipod, then, apply- but I either stopped it, or let it fail, then I went back to my restore button, and re-uploaded it from were it was last backed up. Now I have a fully functioning iPod Touch os 4, and i think all my apps but 2 (may need to uninstall, then reinstall, or just wait for the updates for these to make them compatible), and i have all my old media, info, and app data back. Hope this helped... I also my just have had sheer luck with this as well. Good luck though.

Is there a system check app for 2nd generation iPod touch

I have an 8 GB iPod touch which I guess is just gneration 2 and not 3. Is there a system check app that will work on this iPod? Also how do apps shut down on this Ipod. On my newer 4th gen iPod you have to make them wiggle and then click the red "X".

You have a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.
I know on no system check app
As you found out, the 2G/iOS 4.2.1 and earlier do not support multitasking and then do not have the recently used app show up when you double click the Home button.
To shut down a n app just click the Home button to get to your Home screen

2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook

Hello all,
So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.

When i was waiting for an hour for itunes to grading my 2nd generation ipod touch to a 4.2.1 and it was about done, it suddenly said the network connection timed out and that made the upgrading a fail. Why does it do that? and what does it mean?

HT1353 Can I download i OS 5 onto my 2nd generation iPod touch? I would like it to link with iCloud from my iPad 2 for music. Is that possible please?

Can I download i OS 5 onto my 2nd generation iPod touch? Is it possible to get my iPad music via iCloud onto the iPod 2nd generation? If yes, please can you tell me how? Thanks

You can download purchases from itunes as long as they still carry them. they may not be available forever.
All of your music and everything esle should be on your computer and backed up with your regular backup copy of your computer.
You can download most itunes purchases on ipad, ipod touch and iphone.
I see no reason to have an ipod and an iphone.
If your ipad/iphone/ipod crash you would have to restore using itunes on your computer.
I would not reccommend using an iphone ipod/ipad without a computer.

2nd Generation Ipod Touch Sync issue with Apps.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch and Itunes says that I have 6 apps that need to be updated. But when I go to the Itunes app area and try to update it says there is not updates. How do I determine which apps are causing the issue? What can I do to reset the number? Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks! Dave

My guess is that those Apps require iOS 4.3 or later, which a 2nd generation Touch cannot install.
So the notification in iTunes (programme on your computer) will say there are updates to the Apps, because there are. However, since your iPod cannot use them, if you look at the App Store App on your iPod, those Apps won't be (shouldn't be) listed. Occasionally, I think they do get added to the notification number showing in the Apps Store icon on the iPod. I currently have two Apps like that.
Important:
What you should not do must not do is update the Apps in your iTunes Library (on the computer). If you do, then your next Sync of the iPod Touch to your iTunes Library will remove the App from your iPod and you will lose the App.
My advice is that you ignore the notification number in your Apps Store App icon. It is no longer accurate or even meaningful. Instead, go to the Apps section of your iTunes Library and click on the X updates Available message. That will take you to the Store and list the updateable Apps. Unfortunately, you will need to check each one individually for it's Requirements. If it now requires iOS 4.3 or later - or an iPod Touch 3rd generation running iOS 4.2.1, do not download it. I think that now, every update will require iOS 4.3 or iOS 5, so there will probably be no Apps that you can update. If you do find one, you can update just that individual one by selecting Update as shown below.
I'm in the same boat as you:
Unfortunately, far too many people simply rant on about this, so that it's impossible to get together and lobby Apple to modify this so that those of us with older iPods can continue to use older versions of the Apps. They (Apple) appear to have forgotten that if an existing customer is not in a position to replace their aging iPod with the latest one, then that customer may no longer be able to use an App - thus losing the App's designer his/her customers.
I can see that their thinking is obviously; "the customer will buy a newer iPod because they want to have the latest iPod/they want to continue to use their Apps".
Hhhmmm! Not in the real world!
