TS3694 How do I update my older Ipod touch from 2.2 to 4.2? When I try to update from Itunes I get a -1 error code

Thanks for any help you can provid.e

A -1 error code often indicates a hardware problem, but it can also indicate an inability of iTunes to connect to the update server due to being blocked by security software on your computer. For help with that possibility, see:
Troubleshooting security software issues
If that fails, try updating from another computer. If that still fails, your iPod may have a hardware failure.
Note that if you have a first-generation iPod touch, it can only be updated to iOS 3.1.3, and that update is not free.

  • Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?

    Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?  After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios.  How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?

    iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

    - Try another USB port.
    - Try on another computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is  a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice?

    I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is  a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice or how do I use the bubble?

    Thanks, Stedman, that is helpful (I seem to be able to get past the "bubble" somewhat) but it is still there....I have, in the past, stroked across the music of choice and that was it...now the "bubble" with the choice name comes up and if I go all the way across I get a delete choice?  Can you help with this also or where would I go to research changes (I see there are 200!!!) in this upgrade?

    My ipod touch shut down for no reason. now when i try to turn it on again, it goes to the apple icon to the spinning wheel, then it repeats.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

    iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.  I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
    Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music.  I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
    ....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5...  never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

    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.
    - Unsync/delete all AB and resync
    To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My Ipod touch 2nd gen. was working fine but when I tried to charge from my PC the Ipod start getting too hot and the screen turn black and doesn't  work anymore.Maybe is burn?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation was working fine until I tried to charge again from my PC,when I connected the Ipod was getting too hot and smelling like burn cable,the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore. any ideas about what happen?

    You can try here:

    However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken.  Maybe a dead battery.  In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

  • Updating a older ipod touch

    I have a second generation iPod Touch that is in need of some serious updates! The computer that it was originally synced too is a dead computer but my device needs updates so how can I update the device since I can not sync it to the original computer? Is it true that if I plug it in to my new laptop it will get erased? I have something like 471 songs on it amongst other files i'd rather not lose. Can anyone tell me what to do?

    Yes, your iPod can only be used with one computer/iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, its contents will be erased and replaced with contents from the new iTunes library.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then connect your iPod Touch and when it appears in iTunes right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
