Why on my ipod 2 gen not load higher ios then 4.2.1

why when i want to go higher ios on my second gen ipod will it not let me go higher i want to put new apps on it i have seen no reason not to allow it

A 2G iPod Touch can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1.  iOS 5 is only compatible with the 3G and 4G iPod Touches (as well as the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S).

    Because tha is how yo get photos taken by the iPod into the computer.

  • Why is my itouch 4 gen not charging

    Why is my itouch 4th gen not charging? It also says charging is not supported with tis accesory.

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....

  • Why is my iPod 4th gen so laggy?

    Why is he iPod 4th gen. So laggy all of a sudden? It seems to be linked to iAd somehow. Maybe I have a virus...

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

    Why isnt my godaddy imap email not loading messages?

    I'm having the same issue, but slightly different - since upgrading to Mountain Lion the Inbox folder doesn't come across.  If I right-click on the account and select "Get Account Info", the 'Inbox' folder does not appear in the Mailbox list.  I've got a support email into GoDaddy but haven't heard from them yet.
    Hey - sorry - I just realized this is an iPhone discussion group.  Can't figure out how to delete this post.

  • ITunes store not loading with iOS 7 on iPhone 4S

    iTunes store not loading with iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.
    I have tried reset network connections
    I have restored
    I have backuped
    I have erased all content
    I have rebooted
    I have DFUed.
    I have also the same issue with iTunes on pc, with -50 error.
    Is this an apple server error?!

    Thom_d, you mean your 4s work smoothly? my 4s also 32gb look to be more laggy especially playing asphalt8, infinity blade2, etc... the graphic will stop for few second while you racing.. Are you sure you didn't encounter this kind of problem? About battery life, it only last for 5hours without 3g services(only using wifi). Pretty shock saw what you mention above.

    Just wondering why my comments on Facebook do not show via iOS. Is there any setting I need to make on my iPhone 5,I love this phone. Thanks

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • IPod 4th gen not connecting to wifi?

    Ok, so here is what happened,
    I have had this Ipod since December 2010 I believe, haven't had any major wifi problems with it until now. the wifi has always been on and off I guess, but right now its off like never before. My mom decided to change the wifi password (ended up changing it back) and now the ipod will now connect to the wifi. I have another ipod of the same model (been around for the same time, don't ask, long story) and once the wifi password was changed back, that ipod connected just fine with no problems, didn't even have to re-input the password (same with my iPhone 4). but this ipod that im having trouble with isn't connecting. on the settings, itll say the name of the wifi as if its connected (no wifi bars) but when I go to the wifi settings, it just shows the loading spinning symbol next to the wifi name, and then it will show the same symbol next to "choose a network...", and then it just keeps doing that. It does not say "unable to connect" or anything like that. Ive reset the network settings, ive forgotten the network at least 5 times and have re-entered the password also. ive turned my ipod off a couple times, connected it to iTunes, the whole lot of it. I don't know if its just the wifi (seems considerably weaker since the password was changed, and it was pretty weak to begin with) or what. I can answer any more questions to help find a solution.
    And I can not upgrade the wifi, apparently its as upgraded as it can be. But the other two devices still work, but this one ipod is just not connecting. also, the ipod is updated.

    Yes, it connected to another network, for some reason it wont connect to mine. I'm right next to the router, but my other devices work, so I don't know if its the network or the iPod. I took it to a store (home button was broken) and they were able to connect it to their Wi-Fi, so I guess it isn't a problem inside the iPod. But, as I said, the three phones in my family all connect, CPU connects, other iPods connect, Xbox 360 connects, my sister's laptop connects, and my tablet connects.... I just got the iPod back from repairing the home button and I reset it (wasn't able to before, assistive touch home button wouldn't let me reset) and it still wont connect. Its weird, because the Wi-Fi bars under the Wi-Fi settings will be shown blue as if its connected (It wont have the check next to it, it will only show the loading spinning symbol; I've left the iPod open and it just keeps loading, it wont say unable to connect, and obviously it wont connect) however the bars are not next to the word "iPod" at the top of the screen. also, in the man page of the settings, the Wi-Fi will not say "not connected", it will actually say the name of my Wi-Fi as if it were connected, but there is not actual connection.
    Thanks, hopefully I wont have to restore it... really don't want to do that.

  • IPod 5th gen not charging

    Hello guys. Today I connected my iPod 5th gen to the charger and I noticed it wasn't charging. This started today. Someone please help me. I appreciate every tip and help I recieve.

    Hey Suhey, first inspect the charging port, your looking for foreign debris, lint, dirt etc. anything that could be blocking an electrical connection, if you see something try to carefully remove it. Just be careful not to touch or bend or damage the pins. If you must use a wooden toothpick to remove any foreign debris from the port and inspect the port for visible damage, cracks, missing pieces, etc. If not the issue, then try a different cable. The lighting cables have a history of breaking, shorting out. They will look just fine, but not work. If not the issue with the new cable try a different charging device. If still not working, attempt a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds +/-, then release both buttons.  If you can still turn on your iPod go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still not charging connect to your computer and make backups of the stuff you have on your iPod then Restore from Backup last resort, Restore to New. If that doesn't work try letting your iPod drain completely, go dead then attempt to charge. If still not working, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.
