Why is apple already ending support for Ipod touch 2G?

Why i was really looking forward to my ipod updatiing forn 4.2.1 to ios 5.....Apple *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The software is too old basically. Or in other words, the model is too old and isn't capable of running the software. I know it would be nice for everyone( all gen) to be able to have it. Luckily I have a 4th Gen.

  • Is It Goinig to be an HEBREW support for ipod touch 2g

    Hello,
    I would like to know if it is going to be an HEBREW support in version 2.2 in ipod touch 2g.
    In israel there is an hebrew support for ipod touch 1g.

    I would like to know if it is going to be an HEBREW support in version 2.2 in ipod touch 2g.
    You are just talking to other users like yourself here. Nobody can possibly know the answer, and Apple itself never provides advance info on such feature additions.

    Not from Apple.

  • Greek language support for ipod touch?

    why the greek language is not included in the supported languages for ipod touch?
    why there is no greek keyboard nor a speller?
    is it so hard to do it?
    the greek language is not important?
    as fur as i know apple has also a market for ipod in greece as well as other products...
    but no greek language support in the ipod... why?

    yes this is also true,
    as fur as it goes for displaying text in greek  the results are pretty good.
    but when it come to writing...this is a totally different scenario...
    unfortunately you have many other options apart from writing greek of curse.
    to conclude and this is something that keeps bugling me,
    maybe I am wrong,
    but i think that the OS the ipod touch runs is based OSX 10.4 (tiger),
    if not mostly the same OS.
    if the above assumption is correct in some whey..and by having in mind that the support for many languages is already realized for the above OS
    is interesting to notice that the support of this already realized languages is limited in the platform of ipod touch ( concerning writing and spelling).
    how knows...

  • Why doesn't my imovie project for ipod touch go to my computer's iTunes when i hit the option "share with iTunes"? I need iTunes to have the project so I can format it in a video converter. Can anyone help?

    I downloaded Imovie to my Ipod touch (I don't have a Mac computer/laptop) so that I can edit a project for school video assignment. I have editted the video, but I can't figure out how to make it go to Itunes. I need it there so that I can put it into a video converter for projection to my class. The problem is, I don't know how to get Itunes to recognize that there is a project made. Imovie (at least the mobile version) has a "share with Itunes" feature, which I found. When I use this feature... nothing happens on the itunes end. Does anyone know why this is and have a solution?

    This is what the iMovie Help says:

    Is that the procedure you've been following?

  • FTP app and Flash support for Ipod touch -- coming soon?

    I'd like two things for my ipod touch that I don't have now:
    * an FTP app, to enable me to update web sites on the go
    * browser support for web sites that use Flash
    Can anyone offer an informed opinion of when the FTP app and/or Flash browser support will be available? And am I being impatient, as the SDK is still so new?
    A related question: what's the best place of staying current with what's available for the ipod touch?

    This is a user-to-user site so no one really has an "informed" opinion and speculation is prohibited.
    You are being impatient because applications will be distributed through the new Apps Store which won't be available until June. That will also be a good place to see what is available.
    Flash availability for the iPhone/Touch is in limbo currently, until Adobe/Apple can come to some kind of understanding I would not look for it on the iPhone/Touch.
    Do a search for "Flash" over in that Search Discussions box to the right and you can catch up on the discussions regarding Flash.

  • Multi-language support for iPod Touch keyboard

    "There might be an app for that" sounds good, but trying to find anything on the Apple site is a nightmare. I'm simply looking for a multi-language touch keyboard application for my iPod Touch.
    I type quite a bit in German and need to easily switch between English (Qwerty) and German keyboards.
    Does anyone know of an App for this? If so, could you please post the URL?
    Thanks

    It's built in to your iPod Touch. See page 30 of the User Guide.

  • Why isn't 4.3 available for Ipod Touch 2nd Generation?

    I bought the 8G IPod Touch for my daughter as a Xmas present in November 2009.  Now, less than 18 months later, I understand that Apple is refusing to provide the most up to date software version (ios 4.3) for this version of their product.
    I would like to know from people who know the right answers:
    i) whether this is correct
    ii) whether there is any technical constraint in this model that prevents 4.3 running on this model
    iii) whether Apple plan to provide any of the features of this upgrade in future software releases, particularly the Home Sharing function.
    iv) whether this is simply a blatant attempt to force people to update their hardware?
    Thanks

    Apple only keeps iOS updates available to the current and previous generation devices. Part of this is due to older models may not be able to deal with all the features of a new iOS. I believe it is a blatant attempt to get people to upgrade, but wait until the holiday season before upgrading because this is when Apple tends to start sale of the next gen iPods.

  • Is the "Apple Composite AV Cable" for Ipod touch a charger or power adapter

    What I mean is that if it's plugged in all the time while playing it (on my stereo), is the battery being used (charger) anyway or is it directly getting the power from the power adapter therefore not using the battery therefore not using/draining the battery cycle (as a battery as a limited number of cycles in it's life). Perhaps it's not a charger/adapter thing but a Ipod Touch conception thing. If I use 24h a day the adapter, am I using the battery cycle or not? Who can answer me this for sure (Apple?)?
    Also on a similar note, can I connect the Ipod touch on another PC to charge it (through the dock/USB cable) but without synching it (I know only one PC can synch but if I want to recharge the Ipod at my girlfriend's place on her PC without Itunes can I?)

    Anyone else has an idea on the issue of if the Ipod touch uses the power adapter/charger as direct source of power and not through the battery? If the battery is now fully charged and the Ipod is playing (and plugged in) is only the adapter working or is also the battery?
    remember the good old days when electronics could work with the adapter or the batteries of the time (non-lithium). If you didn't have a battery in it would work. Even if you did have a battery in, the adapter would be the source. I currently have a 20g Iriver and it displays a "plug" symbol when plugged in and playing and not the battery symbol which lets me to believe the battery is not being used.
    I am concerned that if a lithium battery as lifetime of 500 cycles for example, and I use 5 hours a day the player (plugged in all the time) that 1 cycle will be done within 5 days even though I wasn't actually away from the power outlet. Of course I will use my Touch often away as well but overall by using 2h a day away and 3h a day plugged in, if it's the battery working all the time, my battery lifetime will be decreased by a lot.
    Any ideas? Any way to ask Apple officially? email address? form they will respond to?

  • Why dont they make IOS 5 for ipod touch 2nd generation

    this is crap they shouldn't stop updateing the ipod touch 2nd generation like what they did to the first. i dont want to keep buying a new ipod touch every year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Like any other device that uses software, the older hardware cannot run the newest software.
    This is completely normal in every way.
    You do  not have to buy every year.  The 3rd gen was released two and a half years ago and can run ios 5.
    How many years should it be?

  • HT4898 Why is Apple downgrading sync support for Mail with iCloud?

    In the past, if I didn't move forward when Apple moved forward, all that happened was that I did not have access to new features.
    This time, with the demise of MobileMe and the introduction of iCloud, if I don't move forward I lose features, but even worse, even if I do move forward, I still lose features.
    In particular, the lack of syncronization under iCloud of Mail's Rules, Accounts, and Smart Mailboxes means that on our several machines I have to manually do updates multiple times, which of course leads to multiple mistakes.
    In my view, what Apple has done has the look and feel of customer abuse, something usually attributed to another large tech company.  I can't avoid losing functionality, whether or not I move forward with Apple.
    The word disgraceful comes to mind.
    Is there a good reason for Apple's policies that concern Mail-feature synchronization?  I'd like to hear them.

    What is the point in speculating? All it does is lead to misinformation being put out, a lot of which ends up being taken as fact by those who don't realise it is just speculation. Speculating on unproven facts does not lead to understanding. If you don't know the true reason for something, how can you understand it?
    I should not have picked up on the word, speculate, which you introduced in your first reply to me.  These are called Apple Support Communities, after all, and so I was hoping there was a reader somewhere who knew more about the tech world, in particular Apple's world, than I do, and was also someone who could shed light on why Apple has taken the path it has taken.
    And Apple aren't saying you can't speculate at all - just not here, on Apple's official forums ... . We're Apple's guests on these forums so  ... you abide by the rules.
    So, I checked the Terms of Use, and of course, you are correct. Apple wants no criticism of their policies on the Apple Support Communities forums.  The ASC forums are operated on Apple's dollar, and hence they have the right to manage the forums as they see fit.
    The "agreements" we sign every day to use various digital services (or banking services, for that matter) are not negotiated understandings.  They are of the form, "our way or the highway".
    Exactly, and if you don't agree with it. Don't use it. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. MobileMe and iCloud and all the other services Apple offers are optional. Nobody has to use them.
    I'm disappointed that you used the gun-to-your-head argument, because it stands out as sophmoric, especially in the light of your other observations.  Today's corporations do everything they can to insulate themselves from legal actions of disgruntled customers.  Some of that is understandable because of the litigious nature of our society.  But the one sided agreements, tantamount to sign and we play, otherwise we take our ball and bat and go home, are in fact a de facto coercion to sign.  Were we all to say, No, to such agreements, our society would have to return to the pre-transistor era.  In order to live in our modern society, we have to sign.
    I went right to the top months ago, but as is common with the stereotypical large corporation, and now Apple, I was totally ignored.
    Just because you didn't receive a reply, doesn't mean your email was not considered. ...
    And making requests via email to a CEO isn't like a drive-thru restaurant where they take your order and immediately do as you asked (shareholder or not).
    As a matter of logic, the fact that someone does not answer one's letter does not mean that the letter was not read or considered.  As a matter of probability, however, it is quite likely that the letter was ignored or read and ignored, especially since CEO's of large corporations have a staff to handle things like this.  I wrote to Cook because it was reported that he paid attention.
    And thanks for educating me on the difference between a CEO and a drive-thru restaurant.
    Well, in keeping with the ASC Terms of Use, I'm not supposed to be talking about any of this.  So with due deference to the Terms, over and out.

  • Should Apple add an AVRCP for ipod touch 2G and 3G with bluetooth

    Should they add this serial port in a new update so some bluetooth headphones will function correctly? (AVRCP stands for Audio Video Remote Control Profile) i.e. MotoRokr S9 or S9 HD (this is what i have). The Play/Pause and Next/Previous buttons do not work.

  • HT1349 Does apple replace batteries in the ipod touch even if you dont have the warrenty?

  • Why does Apple need to charge for feature updates, but Sony doesn't?

    Ok, so I know all about the subscription-based accounting reasons for why Apple has to charge a nominal fee for firmware updates that provide new features to the iPod touch (but not iPhone).
    I don't have a problem with this fee, and personally think its quite reasonable, and am happy to pay it.
    However, I'm curious as to why Apple has to charge for these updates, but Sony doesn't - and I've not been able to find a reason.
    Since the release of both Sony's PSP and PS3 video game consoles, Sony have frequently released firmware updates that add many minor and some very significant new features to both consoles, as Apple have done with the iPod touch.
    However, Sony has never charged for these new features. Does anyone really know why there's this difference?

    You better believe that any company doing business in the US has to follow US laws. You don't get to just say, oh well we have our headquarters in another country so we can do what we want in yours. Hehe I am pretty sure diplomatic immunity doesn't come with selling something in the US. The accounting reason is a sham. Apple knows that their customers are desperate for "coolness" and will sacrifice features and customer service and pay for that privelege.
    What really gets me is that I already bought the January update. The only thing 2.0 adds is the "priveledge" of paying Apple to buy applications. So of course I bought the 2.0 update because I am an idiot and now my audiobooks will not play. Will they support it no. I buy an update from them, it screws up my ipod and then I can't even call or email to get some help. Instead I have to travel an hour to the nearest Apple store. I recently bought my first iPod but after all the horrendous experiences I have had with their lack of support and idiotic "geniuses" at the genius bar, I will never buy another apple product. Which is too bad because they have the most elegant and fun to use interfaces. However, I would rather have something a bit less elegant but that I can get service on without a 3 hour time commitment on my part.
