No Computer Will Reconise My Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. And Itunes Wont Download On My computer..

ok so since about 2 weeks ago i have not be able to use my ipod touch. my cord broke and it died. took about 5 days for my cord to come in the mail.but when i got it my ipod wouldnt charge, or sync to my computer. i spent all day searching the web for answers. i uninstalled itunes 3 times, yes i checked apple mobile, spoted it started it restarted it. shut down my computer lots of times, used different usb ports and nothing. all i get is "This Usb Has Malfuctioned" i tried installing the drivers, but i got code 10 from windows and they wouldnt install. ive tried two other computers but i didnt have access to the adminastor account so i couldnt mess with any drivers. i force resotred it but when i plug it in nothing happens. and now i cant download itunes. everytime i try it freezes my computer and shuts down. so with no itunes i have no drivers and with no drivers i have no ipod. so does anyone know how to fix this or has had this problem before, because i have tried everything.

Did you try to remove all Apple related software and reinstall iTunes after that? This should give you all the needed drivers back. Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista and 7

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. apps that will not download, higher ios version needed

    I have an ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. I recently tried to download some apps and received a message that said I need a higher ios version (like 4.3 or higher). I know there used to be apps that worked before but I deleted them. When I tried to re-download them again they say they won't work. Options?
    Thanks

    Import the older versions to the iTunes library from your computer or a backup of it, or buy a newer device, or give up.

  • I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
    NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

    How can i get my music off of my email to my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPod 4th gen?

    Find an app to which you can save the attachment and which also uses file sharing
    iOS: About File Sharing
    or similar to get the music into your computer. Import into iTunes library and sync to the iPod. There is no direct way to get music into your iPod Music app besides purchasing  from iTunes or syncing from your iTunes library

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

  • Reset ipod touch (2nd gen) and now safari is missing. What now?

    Reset ipod touch (2nd gen) and now Safari is missing. What now?

    Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store.  It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices.  And you can download them right to your ios device.  Many are free.
    Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
    Be sure to keep backups of older software.  Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

  • IOs 4.2.1 from 4.2 on Ipod Touch 2nd Gen my car wont read my ipod

    I just updated the 4.2.1 update on my ipod touch 2nd gen. I recently had the 4.2 update and it worked perfectly with my car. Now my car wont read it. I am trying to downgrade to any other ios in order to listen to my podcast. All the options online are for previously jailbroken ipods and i had never jailbroken mine. can anyone help me.

    Thank you for your constructive response. I also have lost all my music after upgrading to 4.2. The official Apple solution is to sync again with the "computer you usually use to synch". That is quite impossible, since I am traveling away from home where the desktop is that is the usual sync connection. All I have with me is my MacBook Pro, which is also authorized for iTunes, but contains different music. The iPod Touch (2nd generation) shows about 4 gb of audio content, but starting the "Music" application gets a "no content" message.
    Let's cut the unhelpful posts about forum rules and user agreements and focus on help for what is clearly a common problem for those who have upgraded. Thank you.

  • Is it possible to sync an Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes to download music?

    I have been trying to sync my Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes and it says its completed, but then the music doesn't transfer to the device and I know I can't upgrade to IOS 5  so is it impossible to download music to it?  I just bought it today used to $54  so I am growing incredibly frustrated.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Please and thank you for any and all help

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen. and different Computer.

    Hello, I just found my old ipod touch 2nd generation, I plugged it on my mac (not the main pc of the ipod) and it says that there's a new update is availlable. If a accept to load the update, does my ipod will sync with my Iphone's library that's on my mac?? 'Cause there is some music I would like to keep and those songs aren't on my mac!
    Don't know if you understood but thanks for helping me if you do!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • IPod touch 2nd gen and newest version of iTunes?

    I updated my version of iTunes to 10.7.0.21, and my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.
    I also have a beloved and still-functional iPod Touch 2d gen, which is no longer supported. Even so, will I still be able to sync with/backup to, iTunes?
    Just wondering...

    Yes. You can still sync the 2G.
