Update. 2ND generation ipod touch.

Is there any media player compatible with I touch 4.2.1 2 g

So does this mean we get a free upgrade to 4th Gen or 5th Gen? 😉

I really disagree with not being able to get apps that isn't my version of my ipod, If you going to make a new operating system leave the old versions for ipods that can't download the newer ones derp? Like *** why are you going to try to rip us off like that, If I wanted to get the new ipod I would so stop trying to make me get it. -.-

Few months ago i was able to download Facebook and FB Messanger now I can not due to the upgrade and only owning a gen2.

What a ripoff.

PairoDocs,

Thanks for the informative responses. I was able to rescue the old compatible *.ipa files from a system back-up and replaced them right in the Users:name:Music:Mobile Applications folder. Since the apps had been auto deleted from the Gen 2 iPod Touch I didn't know how to get iTunes to recognize the old versions for installation. Clicking on the *.ipa file did the trick. Thanks again for the helpful information.

Cheers,

Steve

Thank you PairoDocs for taking the time to address this question. I am totally Apple illiterate and your post helped me a bunch and it was easy to understand.

go to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ then scroll down in the ipod touch menu then you'll find

IOS 5🙂

Um I see what you are saying but this is a ipod touch 2g forum and 2g's do not have an update to os 5 and I looked at the site and it still doesn't have 5 it only goes up to 4.2.1 :/

So i'm still a bit confused. I always get lost when it comes to Apple products. What if you don't have a second devide like an iPad or a different generation of iPod touch? Would this still work?

can u help me i need to update my IOS on my 2 gen how do i do this😠

Which version of iOS are you running? If it is 4.2.1, then that is as high as a 2nd gen can go.

Hi Do you have backup of ibooks?

It is really disappointing me.... Hearing that 4.2.1 is the only upgrade my 2nd gen ipod touch could get.

I cant download any app from the app store!

It feels like the day i bought my ipod was the darkest day of my life because the next day itself 3rd gen ipod was available in the market!

Now i feel sad.

Cant do anything else... other than sharing my problem with you guys...

Now My ipod is really LIMITED!!!!

Yeah it is a real blow well I guess the only thing you can do is buy the new Ipod 5gen and that's exactly what apple is trying to get us to do it's all part of their scam to get us buying their new products.

All I have to say to apple is that I will not be purchasing any future products with them. What is the point of purchasing something and then latter not being able to use it to its full capacity because they felt that users with a second generation iPod touch weren't important. They don't even seem to at least provide a trade in program.
