Upgrade 2nd gen ipod touch to iOS 5

Is it possible to upgrade my 2nd generation i-Pod Touch to the newer iOS 5 system? Please advise.

Sorry but it is not possible. iOS 4.2.1 is the last version a 2nd-generation iPod touch can run.

Processor upgrade 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen. Help!

I have a pavilion DM4 2191us and I would like to upgrade try a dead laptop's i7 3rd gen processor on my hp so i can diagnose if the problem is truely the processor or not. I do not know if the i7 is compatible with my laptop. The dell website says that these could be the possible i7 models
Intel® Core™ i7 (3940XM)
Intel® Core™ i7 (3840QM, 3740QM, 3540M)
The socket i have is compatible with website you linked and all these processors are compatible with my socket (988b rPGA) http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20(rPGA988B).html
This lady from intel suggests that you check if the bios is compatible with your cpu type https://communities.intel.com/thread/49613 How would I go about to do that?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is the Service Manual:
Manual
Page 1 has the compatible processors. No 3rd gen i7 is listed. The Intel HM65 chipset will support some 3rd generation i7 processors (see below) but you cannot assume that chipset support translates to support by the HP motherboard.
i7-3517UE, L3 4 MB, Turbo 2.8 GHz
i7-3555LE, L3 4 MB, Turbo 3.2 GHz
i7-3610QE, L3 6 MB, Turbo 3.3 GHz
i7-3612QE, L3 6 MB, Turbo 3.1 GHz
i7-3615QE, L3 6 MB, Turbo 3.3 GHz
In fact, I do not recognize any of the listed processor as ever being used in an HP laptop. The other thing I will say is it is extremely unlikely if you are facing a no-post situation that the fault is the processor. Not impossible, but very unlikely. Beep codes are very unreliable. Almost certainly the issue is the motherboard, not the processor.

Is it possible to upgrade internal HD on 2nd Gen Blackbook??

Is it possible to upgrade internal HD on 2nd Gen Blackbook?? I spoke to an apple reseller & he told me that 160 is as big as u can go on the macbook. is this true?
thanks

This is the drive http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=377
The 250 GB drives were like this when they first came out and they are better priced and easy to find now. You can check here OWC MacBook Ram and Hard drives for ideas of what can be bought easily. You may have comparable stores in australia. One other thing is size restraints. Below are the sizes you need to watch for. There are some drives that are 13mm high. They won't fit. It has to be 9.5 mm.
English
Height: 0.374 ±0.008 inch
Length: 3.94 ±0.010 inch
Width: 2.75 ±0.010 inch
Weight: 0.26 Pounds (±0.10 lb)
Metric
Height: 9.5 ±0.20 mm
Length: 100.2 ±0.25 mm
Width: 69.85 ±0.25 mm
Weight: 0.117 kg (± 0.082 kg)
I figure 2 to 4 months and they will be easier to get. Right now they are very hard to find. Thanks for the it is appreciated.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

- Unsync all music and resync
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch. Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
Please help! This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
Thanks,
Carl

HT4972 Upgrade iPod touch 2nd gen with ios5

I am trying to upgrade an older iPod touch with iOS5.1.
When i connect to iTunes it says current version of software (4.2.1) is currently installed.
Can I upgrade my iPod touch 2nd gen with ios5?

No, that model cannot run iOS 5 normally without resorting to hacks.

I am upgrading from a 2nd gen ipod touch to a 4th gen ipod touch. Will I have problems syncing my new ipod to my existing itunes library/account?

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

ITouch 2nd Gen - Upgrading from OS 3.1.2 - OS 3.1.3

Is this possible -- when in Itunes all that I can upgrade to is OS 4.02? I do NOT want OS 4.02 on my 2nd Gen ITouch. I just want 3.1.3 (so I can use the new Netflix app along with a few other apps that require at least 3.1.3).
I called Apple and they told me it wasn't possible. I'm sure there is a way.
Thanks much!
Christina

Hello! Thanks for the link, that was such a fast response. I downloaded the file: iPod2,13.1.3_7E18Restore.ipsw -- and I went through the instructions of hitting Shift-Update -- but received this error when finished: The Ipod "Christina's Itouch" could not be updated. An Unknown error occurred (3194). At first I thought it was because I had the older Itunes app.. I upgraded to 9.2.1. Still the same.
Any thoughts?

Differences between 1st Gen + upgrade and 2nd Gen?

Hi all. I was looking into purchasing a new iPod touch, but before I do so, I was wondering if there is any difference between getting an iPod touch 1st generation and purchasing the software upgrade and simply purchasing a 2nd generation? Reason being that I can get a 1st gen much cheaper than the $10 that it would cost to get the software upgrades, so if I can do that it would be great.
So is it a seamless upgrade or will there be some small differences between the two? Thanks in advance for the replies!

Updating a 1st gen Touch to 2.1 is the way to go if you don't care too much about the primary differences, where the 2nd gen Touch has the speaker, external volume control, and slimmer at the edges. I've had both and am glad that I have updated to the 2nd gen Touch.
Note that the 2nd gen Touch does not have the same charging circuit as previous iPod models, so if you have 3rd party chargers that rely on the 12V (firewire) pin on the iPod's dock connector, those won't work. For the 2nd gen Touch you need to have "Made for iPod" designated charging accessories which use the 5V (USB) pin of the connector. Chargers don't specify which pin of the connector they use, so if you go with a 2nd gen Touch be sure that any accessories you buy for it are designated specificatly for the 2nd gen.

2nd gen 8G iPod Touch, upgraded to iOS4, now wifi doesn't work

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch and I upgraded to iOs4 a few hours ago, and now my wifi won't connect no matter what I do. I've restored the whole iPod twice. I've renewed the lease on the wifi connection for our home network. I've done just about everything that I have found on the internet to try and help and nothing works.
I select our home network and type in the password and it "connects". But if I try to do anything online, it immediately says that it's not connected. It works otherwise, but I mainly use it for apps, and most of those apps need an internet connection. It's starting to seem like a very pretty paperweight.
I've seen that others have had similar problems, but has anyone found a fix for this yet? I can't afford to just go out and buy a new iPod, especially since the new operating system is what made it break

And I've done all of the steps on this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
