I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

Apps do not sync from the store menu.

Are the apps in question selected to sync?

Hello Briana,
If you are stuck with trying to get the apps to update, check out the troubleshooting steps in the following article. I would also try and power off the iPod Touch and turn it back on.

Why won't my apps load on my ipod touch?

My apps aren't loading. All our info is current on our account. HELP!

What happenms when you try? Error messages?
What do you mean by "loading"?

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch, please help.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch.
I already downloaded some applications in itunes, hoping to sync it to my ipod touch. However, there is no button for Apps in my ipod touch.
And in the partitions of my ipod touch memory (music, photos, videos), there is no space for Applications.
Please help, thanks!

Oh this is quite easy to solve!
1) First connect iPod to computer
2) Launch iTunes
3) On the left hand side of iTunes, under Library, there is an Apps header?
4) When you click on that, you should see your downloaded apps?
5) A little lower down, you'll see your iPod under Devices, drag apps over your iPod's list (over the music, photos, videos area as you mentioned), you'll that that area is highlighted, release left mouse button to drop them apps!
6) Copying ensues ...
7) Check iPod
8) Back at iTunes, click on your iPod's name, look at the right side, you'll see a summary page right?
9) At the top of that page, one of the menu item is Apps, click on that and you'll see a replica of sorts of your iPod, unchecking apps (or selecting by checking) and then hitting Apply button below, will apply the changes you made onto your iPod.
10) You can also arrange your iPod from there if you like.
That was a lot of steps, but its pretty simple to perform, and the last few wasn't really neccessary, it does look more impressive to write a long list of steps however.

Why won't the App Store open?

I have a 2 month old iPad "3". Updated last weekend to OS6. At first everything worked fine. Then 4 days ago began having problems with Safari not opening pages unless I did reload. Then App Store won't open. Then iTunes wouldn't open either. Just white screen with spinner. Then message, Cannot connect to iTunes Store (which it says for both iTunes store & the App store). Yesterday App Store worked for about an hour, then was gone again. Today, completely gone. I can access it just fine on my iPod touch! Checked all settings. Time setting on automatic only gives me the spinner thing. Don't know if that's relevant. But all others Okay. Network okay, internet connection okay. Did restart, synced to my computer, still no iTunes or App store. Using Opera mini browser instead of Safari. I can't get the in-app purchase I made yesterday on my iPod - it won't open in iPad - still gives me the demo version. How am I going to use the app on the iPad? Very disappointed & worried.
Anybody know anything about this?? HELP!!!

Yes I am = I am having the very same problem.
I synced the mini with computer. Now I can search App Store but can't download. I tried to sign out of my account, which worked, and sign in to another account (read about this somewhere that it had helped), but now it won't sign into any account. Just say "cannot connect with iTunes Store".

Why won't the App Store on my iPod touch stay open?

Every time I open the App Store on my iPod it closes. It will stay open for a minute at the most. It won't ever stay open. :/ I don't know what to do.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Why won't the App Store let me download Mountain Lion even though my system meets the requirements?

Why won't the App, iTunes and iBooks stores load on iPad?

Every time I tap on iTunes, App and iBooks stores on my iPad, it hows all the spaces where images should be but the spinning grey icon dosnt go away and just does that (see below). I've tried quitting the app in multitasking and doing a full restore, nothing works.

I wish I had something else that you could try, but the only thing that I can suggest now is to go throught this website suggestions ... Can't connect to the iTunes Store.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
This is the very basic stuff in the first article, but it can link you to a bunch of other websites that get much deeper into the issue. It seems like you have to have certain ports open in order to access the Apple Stores. I'm not sure if that's your issue or not, but there is a plethora of things to read and try.
Maybe somebody else has another idea.

Why won't the iTunes store connect on my pc?

Just switched pc's. Reinstalled iTunes to the new pc. Want to sync ipad2 to pc, but unable to connect to iTunes store. Ran Diagnostic and the only failed option is finding a secure connection to iTunes store. Able to connect to internet thru explorer, so not sure why iTunes will not connect to iTunes store. Uninstalled and reinstalled software twice. Tried to sync ipad2 to the pc, got the message 'This ipad is already linked to another pc. If you continue all data will be erased and replaced with data from this pc.' I select yes, iTunes shows that the system is backing up, but then it freezes. Tried three times and it never gets past backing up, even after 50 minutes of backing up. Need help!

Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store Connection Troubleshooting
iTunes for Windows: Connection Issues when using Internet Filters, Accelerators, or Firewalls
iTunes for Windows could not establish a secure connection to the iTunes Store
iTunes for Windows: Possible iTunes Store Errors
for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you may need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store.
Hope this helps.

Why won't the iTunes Store allow me to make purchases and view my account information?

Hello,
I'm having several issues with my iTunes store account and was wondering if someone could help me. This is basically what happened...
Problem #1 - iTunes store will not let me purchase music:
I signed into iTunes (i.e. entered my Apple ID and Password). I looked up some music and pressed "Buy." A pop-up appears and says, "Are you sure you want to buy and download "Song Name?" As a response, I press the "Buy" button. Then another pop-up appears and says, "Improve Apple ID security - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose 3 security questions and answers" and it also requires my Apple ID and Password. I enter my Apple ID and Password and press the "Continue" button. Another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" (Note: I am already signed in at this point). So, I enter my Apple ID and Password again. However, the "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" appears again. I'm signed in, but the iTunes store apparently believes that I'm not. Why is this happening and how do I solve this?
Problem # 2 - iTunes store will not let me view my account information:
While signed in, I click the button at the top right corner of the iTunes store (i.e., the button with my Apple ID on it - [email protected]). Then I click "Account." A pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." So I enter my Apple ID and password and click the "Account Info" button (Note: I am already signed in at this point). Then another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." Once again, I enter my Apple ID and password, then press the "Account Info" button. Then, the same "Sign in to view account information" pop-up appears again.
Basicially, I can sign into my iTunes store account, but when I want to make purchases or view my account information, iTunes continuously asks me to sign in even when I am already signed in.
Also, it might be helpful to note the following:
- I want to change my account info because my old credit card expired and I now have a new one (and would like to change my payment info accordingly)
- Also, I changed my password in hopes that it would help solve these problems. However, this did not help in the least.
I hope someone can help me out because I do not want anyone else to access my account (and spend my money) due to its apparent malufunctioning. And thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
K.E.K.

I had similiar problems with my itunes account and after some searching found a response that helped me - perhaps it will help you also...
It has to do with the cookie settings in Safari (of all things!)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3559322?start=0&tstart=0
I had the problem where when I started up itunes I was constantly prompted for my password regarding something about "automatic downloads". No matter how many times I typed it in, the prompt would just keep re-appearing (I tried about 8-10 times).
When I tried to resolve the issue (based on another thread) by viewing my itunes account (in the top left drop down window where your user name is), I was getting odd messages about "make sure the date is correct", and itunes would not let me view my account.
By turning OFF the option to block ALL cookies in Safari, the problem(s) have gone away.
Open Safari - go to prefs - click on Privacy tab - make sure "block cookies" is set to "from third parties..."
Good luck.
