16g 2nd gen discontinued?

I went on to the Apple Store site and noticed that there the 16g 2nd gen iPod Touch is not offered, just 8g, 32g & 64g.
Have they been discontinued or will they come out with a 3rd gen model?

When I talked to an Apple telesales person on the 10th I was told that the 16 gb was discontinued.
Technically, if someone bought a 16 gb on the 8th before the 3rd gens were announced then they would have paid the same amount that the new 32 gb costs so they would not be paying "more" for a 32 gb. They would be getting double capacity for the same price. I honestly thought if they were going to get rid of one of the models it would have been the 8gb model...

Ipod 16g 2nd gen. had the waiting circle running for ages. the unit got hot. i reset it and the circumstances did not change. i also did a dfu mode. which stopped the spinning circle, but now the ipod is stuck on the apple. slide to unlock is stuck now.

ipod 16g, 2nd gen had the spinning circle running for hours. the unit also go very hot.
i performed a reset twice as well as a brand new reset to factory settings. I still got the spinning circle.
i also did a DFU. brought me to the apple sign, followed by a spinning circle and a 'slide to unlock' page that will not slide.
please advise.

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.

IPod Touch 16g 2nd gen, many problems

Ok, I got my iPod touch 2nd generation for my birthday, i've had it since the 12th of November. It hasn't worked smoothly since I pulled it out of the box. My computer is very new, and runs Windows 7 64 bit. I have the 64 bit version of Itunes in it's latest incarnation. It was able to sync everything once in a while, but when I went to sync it up later times the computer would A: Think it's a new iPod and want to erase all data to set it up B: Want to perform a restore (which it would subsequently fail at doing) C: give me a strange error with a long number code like -69999 or something D: just be unable to recognize the device or sync with it at all.
I first went to the Apple support website and did EVERYTHING on there. Uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple mobile devices, anything that had anything to do with apple. I reinstalled all of that and it didn't work. I did a restore using the settings on the iPod touch, then uninstalled everything again on my computer and redid it all. Still did the same things. I've tried every USB port on my computer (like 10 of them). After everything on the support site didn't work, I finally called Apple Support and spoke to someone for about half an hour. He had me run through various things that i did before, and promised me a new iPod because mine didn't work. Then my phone died and I had to call AGAIN and spent ANOTHER half an hour on the phone with someone who told me to do all the same stuff and then promised me a new Ipod. So i get the case number, the repair number and everything, send the thing off happily expecting a new machine that would finally work. Then apple says there's nothing wrong with my ipod and sends it back, (with 2 dead pixels i've noticed). Now iTunes wont even recognize it. It just says Itunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred (OxE800000A). I'm at my wits end, I've yet to even enjoy my birthday present since i got it and Apple Support seems to have failed me at every turn. Can someone please help?
Thanks

I think the tip here is "new computer". If your computer runs the Intel chipset, there is a firmware bug (Intel problem) that will give you preciously the problems you are experiencing. The particular chipset is the Intel P55. See this article for more information:

2nd gen ipod touch obsolete?

ever since earlier this year, I have been noticing that more iOS application updates are no longer being written for iOS 4. this wasn't a major concern until a week ago, when I started noticing that the number of updates that were incompatible with my 2nd gen ipod touch had gone from 4 to 13 within 8 days of each other. since there looks to be fewer and fewer apps that will run under iOS 4, I have gotten to wondering about my current iPod. A few months ago, my 2nd gen iPod Touch was diagnosed by the genius bar in SF. the employee who ran the tests told me that my iPod was having some hardware issues, and a replacement would cost me $99. I really didn't see the point in doing anything at the time, but, if I am not going to be able to use the iPod as I have been doing for the past 3.75 years, then it might be time to replace it. I know that apple will discontinue support for iOS 4 completely before too long, and I don't want to be stuck with an ancient ipod. I was stuck with an ancient ibook g4 for 7 years prior to getting my current MacBookPro. any suggestions or feedback would be greatly welcomed! thanks

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

IPod Nano 4Gb (2nd Gen) not detected by Windows or iTunes

I am hoping someone can help me with this as I am at my wits end.
When I plug my iPod into the usb port, it begins the charging process, but neither windows, nor iTunes will detect any new devices. I have tried the 4 R's (the fifth needs a connection with iTunes), putting it into disc mode, and even on 3 different windows computers, but no dice. To save the no doubt normal questions, The usb ports are 2.0, and brand spanking new, which i have tested sucessfully with other usb devices, so I know it's not the usb port. I have the latest drivers & updates installed, and the latest version of iTunes also installed.
Other potentially useful info:
The model is iPod nano 4bg alu 2nd gen
It's not new, i was given it as a gift by a friend who upgraded to the video model.
Though I can't be sure, I suspect that the dock cable isn't an apple product. Given that *very few* places where I live sell official iPod accessories, it is difficult for me to check.
Like I said, i really hope someone can help me, I really don't know how long i can go listening to my friends rather dubious music tastes...

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

2nd gen shuffle seen by windows, but not by itunes on other computers

Hi Everyone..
Im trying to help a friend out, I suspect his 2nd gen shuffle is hosed, but thought I'd confirm with others.
He's had itunes and this shuffle for a while.. worked ok. Stored it for a year or so, and now found that when we plug it into his laptop, Windows XP will see it as a usb drive (and I can transfer files onto it as a flash drive), but itunes doesnt see it.
In mucking around with it for some time, I finally installed a fresh copy of Itunes over the existing one and when it restarted I was told the shuffle was in Recovery mode.. so I reset it from within itunes. Upon restarting, itunes again doesnt see it. I then downloaded the reset utility and tried that, again, doesnt see it.
I installed itunes on my win7 desktop, my wifes 1st gen ipod touch is seen a-ok, but my friends shuffle is not.. again, I can use it as a flash drive on the win7 computer, but itunes does nothing.
Is the shuffle toast?
thanks,
cakes..

Not looking good if you ask me especially since the problem was persistent across two different PCs and the reset utility did not help.

Unable to download Apple TV 2nd Gen 5.1 software

So this is weird...
I've had the 2nd Gen Apple TV for a couple years now with no issues. I was very excited for the mirroring ability with Mountain Lion, downloaded and installed it today. But I couldn't mirror...
I looked at the required specs "minimum 5.1 OS on the Apple TV".... checked my Apple TV and it's running on 5.0.2 and when I run the software update on it, it tells me it's up to date.
So what's the deal here? Is the 5.1 a typo? Is there some trick to updating to 5.1?
Just to be clear here's my config's:
Mid 2009 MBP running on 10.8
2nd Gen Apple TV currently on 5.0.2
HDMI'd into a Samsung LN40... just a normal flatscreen LCD
and I've had no issue for years playing music to the Apple TV or running Netflix or Apple Store movies.

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download

Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Identifying iPod models
