  • Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

    I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

    oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen not connecting to mail now-any anwers?

    My iPod Touch 2nd Generation can no longer connect to my email (formerly MobileMe account). I am running iOS 4.2.1
    Why can I not suddenly connect to my email? It asks me to create account with MobileMe, which I already have. Every time
    I try to put in my Apple ID and password (long in use, NOT new), it says it already exists (no fooling?). It becomes a big endless
    loop and no matter how many times I repeat the activity, same answer. I even restarted the iPod, to no avail. Any answers?
    thank you for your help.

    MobileMe has been discontinued and replaced by iClould. Did you transition to iCloud? However, the 2G iPod is no supported by iCloud.
    To seup mail on youre 2G see:

  • IPod Touch 2nd Generation not staying on

    So my Ipod touch, second generation recently started turning off when ever I pause music. It started with the top on/off button not working, now its to the point that when ever I pause my music it eventually turns to the black screen with the apple and it then flashes until I plug it in to a power source. I've already tried to resetting it twice, which did not seem to fix anything. Is there anyway to fix this without sending it back to apple?

    Resetting or restoring 2 times?

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to itunes

    My daughter's ipod touch (2nd generation) is not being recognized by itunes.... The cords are fine (they recoginize my iphone) but we can sync her ipod to her library because of this. I have tried updating itunes, turning the ipod off and back on, reseting the ipod settings, and restarting the computer. SO FRUSTRATED!

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Do you have another computer to try?
    Does the iPod charge?
    If you look at the dock connector in the iPod does anything look abnormal like bent contacts? I suspect an iPod problem.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation wont sync with iTunes on Windows 7

    Ok. I am going to make this quick. I just bought a new ipod off amazon from Apple. its a 35Gb 4th Generation ipod touch. I am able to sync my itunes library sometimes. Only SOMETIMES. I have about 1200 song on it now. But evertime i plug my ipod into my PC. iTunes comes up, but freezes up. itunes works fine when the ipod is not connected, but when it is, it freezes up. I can leave it for about 5 minuets and it will unfreeze and i will be able to use itnes, but itunes wont show my ipod is connected. AT ALL. I did the diagnostic, but that freezes up to. Only sometimes will it sync. I updated to the latest version. I think this is either a issue with itunes or the ipod. because my brother has the new nano, and his syncs perfectly fine everytime. Only on my account on windows 7 with MY $300.00 ipod touch will it not work. Anyone help me out here.
    This is what i have done so far:
    Reset ipod via sleep wake and home key while connected < no fix
    Ended any process in the background of windows, that may affect itunes < No fix
    updated to latest itunes version and ipod version < No fix
    That's all i could think of. This evidently is sync issue.
    ANY HELP?

    Does it charge?
