  • Can anyone help me restore my ipod touch 2nd gen?

    Hi there. I am trying to update the software on my ipod touch but I keep getting an error code that states I can't restore it. Error code is 1-
    Any tips?

    Hi. Error code 1- indicates that you are unable to update or restore your iPod. To solve this problem you need to put your device into recovery mode. Before you begin ensure that you have some charge in your device.
    You should first disconnect your iPod from your computer and make sure it is turned off. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    When you next open itunes it will notify you that your device is in recovery mode and will ask you to restore it. It should all work after this.
    If your still unsure take a look at this  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Hope this helps, Ben

  • Problems with sound on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

    After the most recent update, the sound on my iPod doesn't work anymore. I restored it to original and it cured my battery problem. The sound meter came up right away, but disappeared right away. I can shut it off for awhile and the sound comes back, but disappears right away again. What is going on? Does anyone else have this problem? The sound meter is there, so it is not a hardware problem. Will a new update take care of this or am I just up a creek without a paddle? Any and all information is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I just updated my iPod software and now I have sound, but not thru the speaker. Just headphones work, which is OK. Problem solved for now.

  • My Game Center won't work on my iPod touch 2nd Gen. It let me sign up but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friends. I don't know why? Any help?

    My ipod touch 2nd Gen let me sign up to game center but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friend. I don't know if it's like this because it is old and slow, or what. Please help me figure this out. Thank You.

    Try:
    - Sign out of Game Center and sign back in
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Anyone got the new iPod touch 2nd gen to work with the fatman itube dock???

    Hi all,
    Recently for christmas I've bought a new iPod touch 2nd gen and it's awesome, everything is great about it - in my opinion; except for the fact that I tried to dock it on the fatman itube docking station and found it not to work. Before I used it I was aware that the 2nd gen is unable to charge on the dock however I didn't expect the speakers not to work too. All that happens is a message on the ipod comes up saying unable to charge with this accessory but doesn't put any sound output into the fatman, it just sits there blasting out it's own quiet internal speaker, and also strangely the remote DOES work too???
    I've read on the net that maybe resetting the ipod by holding the home+stand-by switch for 10 secs but this resets and does not fix the problem...
    There are many photos on the fatman website showing a ipod touch docked so it seems to be sold as working with it but who's to blame for this fault? Apple or fatman?? And does anybody know of a fix for it?
    Also I tried my mums ipod nano with the fatman - works fine, and my firmware on the ipod touch is nice and up to date with version 2.2 so I can't see anything else I can do. This was my christmas & birthday present and at the moment I'm quite annoyed that all I can do to it is stick a mini jack in the headphone socket - not ideal since there's no video output or remote control that way!!!
    Please give advice if there is any out there,
    Thanks,
    Mrghostie.

    This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
    APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • Video out on iPod touch 2nd Gen - with dock?

    Hi,
    So apparently you can watch videos on your tv if you buy the universal dock for iPod touch 2nd Gen?
    How does it work and do you get RCA cables with the dock or do you need to purchase them separately?
    Does the dock come with the USB cable or is that a separate purchase as well?
    Sami

    Hi,
    You only need the cable(s)-
    [Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAz OA]
    OR
    [Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4Njcw Mw]
    You can then put one of these inbetween in you wish but it is not required.
    [Apple Universal Dock|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4NzcxOA ]
    Comes with a remote but of limited functionality with Touch.

  • I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

    i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

    Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with.  Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
    Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

    I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
    32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
    Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
    Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
    I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

    I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
    The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

  • QUICK ANSWER.Apple iPod touch 2nd gen. Digitizer and LCD replacement help.

    Hi,
    I bought a digitizer from amazon and a LCD from there. And I got them today.

    will the apps that utilize the iphone's microphone, such as Shazam, be compatible with the ipod touch 2nd gen. once the new ipod earbuds, that includes the microphone, are released?

    I think this page has the answer. Apparently, yes, you can with an application called note2self.
