Ipod touch 2nd gen will not turn on or restore

hey guys, so i have a Ipod touch 32gb 2nd gen. It suddenly just stopped working it turned off so I thought I just needed to charge it. But after leaving it to charge for a few hours i tried turning it on but nothing happened. When I connect it to my computer and hold the lock and home button itunes prompts me to restore it but when I try to restore all i get is a white screen on the ipod and a error 21 on itunes. I have tried many methods to remove that error 21 but nothing has worked. So now I have a non responsive ipod that will not turn on or restore help please!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

IPod Touch 4th Gen. will not turn on!

My iPod touch 4th Generation will not turn on. I've only had it since September and have barely used it. I plug it into my computer and it doesn't charge, it doesn't turn on even with a low battery symbol... my computer doesn't even recognize it as being plugged in. When I plug a 3rd generation in, it charges and is recognized by my computer, so I am almost 100% sure it's not a problem with my computer.
I've tried holding down both the home key and the power key at the same time and nothing happens...
Help please!

Welcome to the discussions,
does it charge using the adapter? If yes, charge it for at least 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

Hi,
So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
What happened:
I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
Any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

- Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
Next try DFU Mode

- Then try a different computer
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod touch 2nd gen will not connect to my wifi giving me incorrect password

Friday when i went to school when i came back and i turned wifi on it asked for my password and it told me incorrect password even though i am 100% sure it is correct. I went to my dads house over the weekend and used wifi there, and when i came back it would keep telling me that i had the incorrect password. My brother also has a 2nd gen itouch with ios 4.1 and same as me and his will connect just fine. I have tried several things and none seem to work. I have not tried updating my ipod or restoring it for several reasons. Does anyone have a fix?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod touch (2nd Gen) will not play my music!!

I have restored my iPod touch to factory settings and made iTunes sync my music all over again... and it still won't play my music.
The music does appear in the music app, however, as soon as I try to play a song, it just pauses it and then it goes back to the playlist.
Unfortunately my iPod will not upgrade past iOS 4.2.7... it's a very old iPod, but I don't need a new one!! Please help me how do I solve this?

What happens when you try to load those songs (drag and drop in iTunes) from your iTunes music library to your shuffle?

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen will not update.

iTunes tells me that it is up to date using iOS 4.2.1, but I want to update to iOS 5. How do I update my iPod Touch? Is my iPod no longer compatible with Apple? Every time I check for updates, iTunes tells me that my iPod has no further updates. I have made sure that my MacBook is up to date with all of the latest Apple software. Does anyone know the problem?

That's annoying...So, apple makes new devices and operating systems for them and if your device is no longer compatible, you have to spend another 200 dollars on something that will become obsolete in a year...I have a computer that has been keeping up with current technology for 8 years. It's still compatible with all of it's software and all of the upates. If Apple can't make universal updates, I consider that a failing.

Ipod touch 2nd gen will not sync with computer or i tunes

Hello bigbthomson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod touch is displaying that it is disabled and to connect to iTunes, then please see the information in the article linked to below.

My Ipod touch 2nd gen will not sync for some reason to itunes. I've tried almost every possible solution I can find on the internet. The ipod charges fine when connected and Windows also recognizes it as a device but itunes refuses to. What should I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. Your answer crossed my mind but I havent downloaded songs in a while so I never paid attention to whether it was syncing or not. However, in my sync history I see that it successfully synced 3 months ago....
