I want to Sync music from my PowerBook 4 to my Ipod generation 7 but it says I need to update Itunes to 10.7 but when it finishes updating and i go back to itunes nothing has changed and Itunes is not updated.

In order to install iTunes 10.7 or later you need OSX 10.6.8 or later. A PowerBook can install up to OSX 10.5.8
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but any new iPod won't sync with iTunes on Mac not using an Intel processor.

Your 1st gen iPod Touch will not run iOS 4. It can only run iOS 3.1.3. This means that some apps will not run on your iPod Touch.

Apps on 2nd generation iPod Touch crashing

The apps on my 2nd generation iPod Touch are increasingly slowing down and/or crashing. The local Apple store rep said a) apps updated for 4th generation iPods overtax my 2nd generation hardware and therefore b) I must buy a new iPod. Is anyone experiencing this problem? Does Apple really expect me to buy new hardware every time its software upgrades automatically render my hardware obsolete?

Did you already try to reset your ipod by holding your sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data doing this, but it can cure some glitches.
Usually apps not meant for your iOS version can't be installed on your device. I tried this on my ipod, you can select the apps for a higher iOS, but they won't install.
If resetting does not help, set it up "as new device" without using the latest backup, in case you would be reinstalling damaged files. How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device

I have a 2nd generation ipod, but can't load any new games because they require a newer version of software (which isn't available on the 2nd gen

Hello, I have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch and can't get any new games to load (because the 2nd generatiom requires new software, which isn't available). Is there a way to get older versions of games to load on the ipod?
Thanks

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

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

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.

Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
Thanks,
dukegirl90

I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
Will this happen with the iHome?

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
Many Thanks

- These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
- However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
I know of no list/seach method to find those apps
