Ipod Touch 2nd gen won't sync, show up, or charge

The title says it all. An ipod touch of mine (8g 2nd gen touch) will not turn on, respond to any button commands, show up in itunes, and barely charge. My wall charger's light will light up (indicating it is charging), but it will not do anything. I'm pretty sure there have been many questions like this, but im lazy and can someone help me in this specific case?
thannks.

i have tried there, but its not that kind of problem. believe it or not i have a decent share of experience with ipods and am great at programming and other electronics. the screen is totally black. no connect to itunes, or battery low. black black. its really weird.

  • HT1386 ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync with Windows 8 laptop

    Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop?  It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync Nike+ Running

    I just bought Nike + iPod Sensor because it says it is compatible with 2nd Generation iPod Touch, but when I try downloading the app it says it is not compatible with my iPod Touch. The 2nd generation iPod Touch won't let me download past 4.2.1 to the new 5.1 which the Nike + app says I need. Any suggestions?

  • My iPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync music from my computer.

    I connect my iPod to iTunes and it says "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)."
    Photos, apps, movies, and such can all be changed and synced, but audio files can't. I can put a song on the iPod and iTunes will that it's been added, display it amoung my other music, but when it doesn't actually appear on the iPod itself.
    All my software in update-to-date, I've tried using different cords to connect my iPod to the computer, and I've restarted the iPod several times.
    Is there something wrong with the iPod? How can I fix this?

  • My iPod touch (2nd gen) won't sync.

    When I try to sync it, I get an "unknown error".  I am attempting to sync on a new computer (windows 7) , so I know that it does not contain my music library.  The thing is, I don't care if my songs are deleted.  I just want iTunes to recognize the iPod so that I can add podcasts and songs that were backed up.  What can I try to fix this problem.  I was thinking of doing a factory reset...any other suggestions?

  • IPod touch 2nd g won't sync with iTunes

    My iPad 3 syncs with my MacBook 2007, Lion only, through iCloud but now my iPod touch 2nd g won't sync at all through iTunes. So does this mean it can no longer sync with my computer? The "sync iPod" under edit in iTunes 10 latest version is dimmed and won't sync.
    I suspect I have to give up the iCloud and live manually.
    Apple used to just work. Now I feel I'm swimming in the land of MS.

    Hi LittleBear,
    Can you describe your problem further? Are you getting any error messages in iTunes? Just appearing to sync as normal?

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • After upgrading iPod Touch 2nd gen some apps sync over and others do not

    After upgrading my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to OS 3, skype and TextFree Unlimited sync over, but 9-Toolbox, Gas Cubby Lite, fring and TooDoo do not. They show up as installed in iTunes, but do not sync onto my iPod Touch. Is this because the apps themselves have not been updated to work on OS 3, or could there be a syncing problem?

    OK..last post on this item. I found this post by ipodtouchuder1517 that explains how to move your icons around, ie page 2 to 3, etc
    All is well again and I shall now resume checking out the new features my $10 purchased!
    Page 18 of the manual:
    "Customizing the Home Screen
    You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
    icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
    screens.
    Rearrange icons:
    1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
    2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.
    3 Press the Home button to save your arrangement. "

  • IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

    Sounds like Apps have been restricted.  Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen won't sync or download podcasts

    Hi, all! I get that the ipod touch 4th gen won't update to ios7, but this has made podcasts unusable I'm unable to download new podcasts or sync them to my computer because I'm told the podcast app isn't updated. Is there anything I can do or do I basically have an unusable ipod where podcasts are concerned?

    Why happens when you install the last compatible version of the podcast app and sync?
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
    Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch.  Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
    Please help!  This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
    Thanks,
    Carl

  • IPod Touch 2nd Generation won't sync photos anymore

    Hi all,
    My iPod Touch 2nd generation is running OS 3.1.2 on iTunes 9.0.2, Mac OS 10.6.1. It recently automatically removed all the photos from my iPod Touch and won't let me sync them anymore. I go to the Photos tab on iTunes and the albums/events I want to sync are selected, but when I hit the sync button, I can read the status on the iTunes window stating it's syncing music, then contacts, then whatever, and when it comes to photos, it just flashes "syncing photos" for a millisecond and keeps on going. No error messages, nothing. At the end, no photos are on my iPod and the memory status bar on iTunes shows I have a certain GB of music, apps, other, but no photos.
    I've tried to sync all everything from iPhoto just to give it a try, with no luck.
    Any ideas?
    I've tried to restore my iPod, it works for the first sync, but when I connect the iPod the second time, it removes all the photos again.
    Thanks
    Tadeu

    uncheck the Photos Sync and hit Sync. Let it finish. Then go back and check it again and hit Sync. See if that works.
