If it has only a front camera it is a 5G. Can go to iOS 7

If it has both from and back cameras it is a 4G, Can go to iOS 6.1.5

If no camera it is either a 2G. Can go to 4.2.1, or

A 1G that can go to iOS 3.1.3


looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288,

To get working

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- Try another cable

- Try on another computer

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
