    you need at least iPod touch 4th generation to go higher than 5.1.1

     

    1 generation goes up to 3.1.3

    2nd generation goes up to 4.2.1

    3 generation goes up to 5.1.1

    4th and 5th generation go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the (current) latest version.

    So basically its redundant then as i cannot download any apps as most say it needs update IOS 4.3

    I wanted to add facebook and instagram for arguments sake. I have the older versions of the software but as i have more than 1 device on my itunes i only seem to have 1 itunes library

    so i must have 2nd gen itouch if i have 4.2.1

    thanks for your reply

    I for one will NEVER buy another apple product. I cannot believe they did not build in some sort of support for gen 2 itouch's. People can spout off about moving forward but here I stand with a perfectly functioning Itouch and it's only good for a music player with no updates from here on out or a brick as far as buying apps. See ya apple, I am off to buy a Android product.
