The re-loaded app still does not work. I have no problem getting the older version of the app to load on my iPod, it just will not allow you to stream. The only option available whenever you launch is to update to the new version, thereby continuing the endless loop. Does your First Gen iPad allow you to stream? If so, there must be a difference between the iPad and iPod.
Yes, the iPad App can stream just fine and does not request an update. Not sure why the iPod version sir requesting one.

I would like to see Apple continue to support the products they sell. The 64gb iPod Touch I have was the best of the best when I got it. Now, 6 years later, Apple would have me throw it away and buy a new one. I hope, if you have children, you continue to support them beyond 6 years. What if Chevrolet decided to stop updating their automobiles older than say a 2010 model? Why can I not load the latest iOS on the iPod? I know I have no camera but other than that, what hardware differences are there?
There's many differences. Processor speed (800mhz vs 1ghz A5), available RAM (256Mb vs 512MB).
Even the current 5th Gen iPod touch is at the limit of supporting iOS 7 or 8. Its barely coping with it as it is.
Technology moves really fast. 6 years in mobile device time is like 40 or 50 in Car terms.
Do you expect Chevrolet to offer GPS and touch screen, or Gas Economy of today's Chevys on a '54 Camaro?

The discussion I am having with SiriusXM seems a bit more civil. They have at least told me they are referring my comments and request to the "appropriate department". I have not researched the origin of this forum, but I am guessing you are an employee of Apple. The answer you gave to me above vividly reflects the expectations I have from the company. I will attribute the curt response you sent to being a quick answer to the information I offered. After careful review and deliberation of the entire string, I am now responding without emotion and stating only the facts.

I'm sorry, I did not know asking a question was not civil.
For the record, very few people here are actually Apple employees. We are mostly volunteers. Users like yourself trying to help other users to best of out abilities.
I asked an actual question, as to what support you expected out of Apple. The device you own is simply too old, and its hardware is incapable of running the newest IOS. Most people replace their computers more often than every 6 years. I think its not unreasonable to buy a new iPod after 6 years.
