At one point, I upgraded to an iPad 2. That said, my old ipod touch seems to be going to waste, dispite the hardware being in good shape. I thought i would keep it around for music and podcasts. Its been reset, and because it only has ios 4.2.1, and can't upgrade to 5, it no longer has the ability to download the podcast app which requires version 5. Is there a way around this? Can i get an older version of the app?
Little help?
You can still synced podcasts to the 2G iPod like before. Then go to your Music app in the More part.
I don't believe there was ever a version of the standalone Podcasts app compatible with iOS 4 or ealier.
I find it rather sad that an ipod classic, though abondoned by apple at this point, can still play podcasts. But this one can't. I understand products cant be supported forever, but it seem weird that they would not have an app pack or alternative firmware for older products to keep them useful. But thanks for the info. 🙂
Huh?
It can certainly play podcasts.
Why do you think it cannot?
Illaass explained this.
I figured this out, it didnt occur to me that back then, it was not a seperate app. 🙂 problem solved.
A 2.Gen iPod touch can also do other things... like playing music or launching apps. Do whatever you can do with it, if you want more buy a new one.
What to do with an older ipod touch?
