My ipod touch currently has ios 4.2.1 and is model mc086ll.If anyone knows how to install a newer operating system,please tell me.
iPod touch, iOS 4.2
No, you could not. To find apps compatible with your device, see:
Find iOS Apps Compatible with Older Devices
and
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps
(Note that I am affiliated with that site, and some pages contain ads).
The hardware (on 128 MB of RAM) on the 2G supports no higher than 4.2.1.
See if there is a earlier compatible version of the apps available:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
I bought a ipod touch 2gen but it's stuck on ios 4.2.1.Many of the new apps are incompatible with my ipod touch.Could you manually put in an up-to-date cpu and ram?
