I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

  • How can i get ibooks for my 2nd gen ipod touch 4.2.1

    I remember at one time haveing iBooks on my ipod but i had no use for it at that time so i deleted it from both my computer and ipod and now i need it but i cant install it because its requires 5.0.1 and i want to know if there is a way for me to download the older version of it or is there another way for me to be able to save a pdf file on my ipod without iBooks

    There are countless apps besides to read pdf, most probably better than ibooks, just search on that term in the app store.  GoodReader is a popular one.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch - Factory restore not working

    I'm trying to factory restore my 2nd gen ipod touch.  I figured I could simply choose the factory reset in the setting and it would do it's thing.  Now it says it needs to connect to iTunes in order to complete the process.  However, when I plug my phone into my (windows) PC, iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It makes the normal sounds and starts charging, so I know the PC recognizes that it's connected, but iTunes will not.  now, I can't do anything on the ipod - it just sits there like a brick,   help!

    Tap Settings > WiFi > your network name (or at least the one with the check mark). Tap the little blue > next to the name. Look at Device IP - if it starts with 169.x then your router has not issued you an IP address
    You also should have "Renew Lease" and "Forget this Network" buttons. Try pressing Renew Lease to see if you then get a valid response from your router.
    If this doesn't work you can try these things:
    1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug back in). If this doesn't fix it, try disabling security to rule that out.
    2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
    There is more troubleshooting info [in this support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398].
    Hope this helps.

    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

    You should never update without making sure that you have saved everything on your computer first.
    You should import all pics and vids before attempting any update.
    If you have failed to save the data, then it is gone

    See:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    Basically you will have to transfer its contents to the new computer and then restore the iPod and then resync. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library.
    BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch keeps force closing apps. what should i do?

    my wife gave me her old 2nd gen ipod touch when she got a new one. she cleared off all the data and did a factory reset. a couple of weeks goes by and my apps keeps force closing on me. its getting really annoying escpecially when i try to play games or go on facebook. i checked for updates and its has the latest 4.2.1. its not a space issue either; i have 6.83 gigs left. i really dont want to do a restore...can anyone give me any tips or advice on what to do about this problem?
    thanks!

    A restart does nothing to the data.  Try this first.
    A reset does nothing to the data.  Try this if  restarting does not help.
    If restart and restore do not solve it then restore from backup.
    If that fails then restore as new.

  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??

    i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

  • Can I view podcasts with a 2nd generation iPod touch?

    Can I view podcasts on a 2nd generation iPod touch?

    Ain't gonna happen.  The 2G does not have the necessary hardware to support iOS5.  The "Check for Update" process checks to see what version of Ipod you have.  If your iPod does not meet the upgrade requirements iTunes will tell you....

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.
