On another topic, is there a quick an easy way to know if an iPod Touch is 1st or 2nd generation?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
2nd Gen has the external volume control (top left side)?
At least I think that feature was new for 2nd Gen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The 2nd gen iPhones had a slightly different shape - not sure if that's also true for the Touch.

Thanks. Yeah, external volume control and chrome rim on the front seem to be two obvious differences: [link]

Thanks for that link, Jon! I'm just hoping it'll work for me--my computer dates back before 2001, so it might not even have Secure Erase.

So Jon, why do you need to know? Are you interrogating an iPod Touch that claims to be 2nd Gen?
BTW, for the iPod Touch 5th Gen or higher, you'll just need to ask it what version it it. And for the 9th Gen or higher, it'll implant the information direction into your brain when you need it. And for the 17th Gen and higher, all your needs will be automatically tended to, so you'll never "need" to know what version it is, or anything else for that matter....

Are you interrogating an iPod Touch that claims to be 2nd Gen?
Basically, yeah. I ordered a refurbished one from the Apple store. I got it because I noticed that it did NOT say that it was first gen. (the refurbished ones are usually labelled clearly as first generation on the website and in the shopping cart). It arrived yesterday and -- surprise! -- it's a first gen. I called Apple, and they said I wasn't the only person that had happened to. They're letting me return it for a full refund including free return shipping.
Still, between that and my monitor problems yesterday, what was supposed to be a day of geektastic excitement turned out to be a day of techno-annoyance!

Not sure what you mean. Isn't that a utility you need to download?
