Q: So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

So basically reading here all of us that have a 2nd generation ipod cannot update the software - I thought I had a 3rd generation one until I just did some research and it appears like others ive been sold a 2nd gen one am really annoyed, we personally cant go buying new items just because there is more upto date ones out.   Ive been trying to do the software upgrade to the 4.2 I think it was and it just will not download! Am very frustrated!  Come on apple sort it out

So why is it that on this page  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437   it says itouch gen 2 with ios 4.3 or higher is needed for air play. This tells me gen 2 should be capable of being upgraded to 4.3.

Not true. 4.3 is for streaming compatible websites and 3rd party apps, which it states in the description

Thanks for the reply, but I have no idea what you mean. My situation - I would like to send music from my itouch gen 2 to apple tv, but from what I have read it seems I have to have at least ios 4.3, and 4.3 is not compatible with gen 2. Is there any hope for my using my itouch for apple tv? Thanks.

As I said that is not true. You can use airplay with music and videos stored on your iPod as well as Youtube using 4.2.1. You just need 4.3 to airplay from a compatible 3rd-party app (i.e. Vevo, IMDB) or website.

If you are not seeing the airplay logo, make sure it is enabled on your Apple TV and that both devices are on the same network. Verify you are on 4.2.1

If you've done that and still nothing then something on your network is causing an issue.

That's how they get more money out of our pockets..

I'm a pc user and will never turn to an mac computer

the only Apple production I'm using is the Ipod only for music. I won't ever buy anything from apple other than an Ipod.

In the long run Macs last longer so you're usually spending more on a PC

Technology evolves, doesn't mean your device(s) stop working and no one is forcing you to upgrade

We got a brand new ipod 2nd gen for her xmas present 3 years ago.I personally dont like and dont own any apple products as i think they are ****,she wants to watch sky tv on her ipod so we tried to log in with my sky account and guess what you have to have 4.3 so she cant watch it.My friends all have iphones and have been trying to convince me to get one as they say they are the best but after this it confirms my susspitions 5that apple are not the dogs bollox just bollox so i will not be getting one.Pc better than mac,tablet better than ipad,android better than iphone,droid x better than ipod and pears are better than apples so screw apple i was right in the first place.

Do you actually have a question? You would find this on any platform, you can choose to upgrade if you want new features/software or can continue to enjoy what you have.

Cant enjoy apple is crap

OK, enjoy your Windoze, android toys.

Thank you will do and the same to you too

Apparently millions disagree with you. I'd rather have something that is usable. Anyway, if you don't like it no need to be on an Apple forum

and millions agree enjoy your appooh

That's funny. I think you should learn how to spell, and use proper sentences. It's hard to take you seriously.

Please don't respond.
