2nd Gen. iPod Restored and dead?

I restored myIpod fully after it became unresponsive to click wheel commands. Now, the only way to get the screene on is to toggle witht he hold switch. 'Reset' maneuver does not work and I'm generally at a loss for words. I've had numerous iPod problems with different models before but this is a new problem and the product is only a month and a half old.

you did a reset? YOU PUSHED AND HELD the menu button and the middle button AT THE SAME TIME for 10 seconds? this may take a few trys and it works best if hooked to power.

  • I can't see songs on 2nd gen ipod classic and no there is no "on this ipod"

    I cannot access contents of ipod 2nd gen classic.  Summary - music - movies etc photos - info and the blue button DONE.  The ipod is full and I can't upload podcasts.  Every one who helps, and others asking this question are all told to click "on this ipod" but that is not an option among the itunes pull down menus.
    I fear Apple inc wants to force me away from my perfectly functional 2nd gen ipod by not supporting it properly in itunes.

    I don't understand what this means.

    Remove something from the iPod then.

    What question? You've simply made a few random statements, the meaning of which appears to be lost in translation (to me anyway!).
    You need to be more specific.
    Do you use Sync to manage your iPod? If so, make changes in your iTunes Library, that will remove some media from the iPod at the next Sync, thus leaving room for the Podcasts.
    Then connect the iPod to your iTunes Library and look on the iPod/Podcasts pane. (I assume that your reference to "on this iPod" is related to this step.) Do you mean this?...
    or, if you have the Sidebar turned on,  this....
    Whichever screen you have, click on the device, and then look on the Podcasts pane and choose the option to Sync Podcasts to your iPod. You may need to click on Sync (if you made your choice after iTunes has reached the Podcasts step).
    If this does not address your issue, try alittle less drama and a bit more information about which steps you have made, and what did not happen that you expected to happen. Then we might get somewhere.

    Fear not, it is properly supported.

  • HT1296 I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch and it does not sync with the new iTunes please is there a fix coming?

    I Have a 2nd gen iPod and it will not sync with the new update of iTunes is there a fix coming for this or not I'd hate to have to buy a new iPod if I don't have to

    Have you tried syncing manually using the manual method included in
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Was the iPod previously synced to another computer/iTunes library?
    Next wold be to retore from backup.

  • HT201272 I have a 2nd gen ipod touch and had to restore it from back up. When I did that, I lost a lot of apps that I had previously purchased and now they will not re-install. How do I get the apps to install on the ipod now?

    Please help Obi Wan, you're my only hope.

    So you are saying that you purchased it by:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
    How long ago did you purchase it?
    Did you purchase it on another computer?

  • How to sync contacts to 2nd gen iPod touch?

    I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and have just moved from MobileMe to iCloud on all of my other devices which are supported.  On the iPod Touch I now should be able to sync contacts and calendars only via iTunes, since it will not work with iCloud.  All is well with calendar syncing.  However, even though I have the appropriate boxes checked in iTunes to sync contacts, I get "no contacts" on the Touch.  What might I be doing wrong?  Thanks!

    Thanks, I had seen that support article.  It states that although the Touch will not sync with iCloud, both calendar and contact data will continue to reside locally on the device.  In my case this is true, and can sync locally with iTunes, for iCal, but not for contacts.

  • Can I put iOS 5 on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

    Hello, I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I cannot get any apps because I have an older ios. Can anyone help me?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    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.

  • 2nd gen iPod Touch - screen - contrast ratio issue?

    hello
    i was wondering if anyone else have this problem / issue
    what i notice in the 2nd gen ipod touch compare to the the 1st gen touch
    is the the differences in contrast of the screen
    1st gen ipod touch appears to be darker
    and 2nd gen ipod touch lighter or "washed out"
    the black in the 2nd gen doesnt appears to be black black, if anyone knows what im talking about
    and when comparing to the magenta or blue 2nd gen also appears lighter
    mind you i have set both brightness setting to FULL bright and NO Auto-brightness
    i can understand that there is off course difference in LCD but the difference is quite noticeable
    if anyone else have this issues please voice your concern I hope im not the only one out there.
    i would ideally prefer the screen contrast to be in between the washed out of my 2nd gen ipod touch and the 1st gen ipod touch
    and is there a way to fix it?
    cheers

    Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
    I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1.  It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up.  The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time.  the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file.  Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
    Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch, 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8 - Any Point in iCloud?

    I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, and a 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8
    I've used .Mac/MobileMe since 2008 and I have all of my documents on iDisk. If I upgrade to iCloud, what is going to happen? I know all of my stuff will be in the cloud, but will I be able to access it in any way with this equipment?
    In short, is there any point in me upgrading to iCloud?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need Lion to run iCloud, if your MacBook can't be upgraded to Lion, it can't run iCloud.
    ICloud does not replace iDisk, which you could continue to use until it is retired in June 2012 (with or without upgrading to iCloud)

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch stuck in restore mode

    My Friend recently gave me his 2nd gen ipod touch that he no longer uses as a gift, i decided to restore it so i could put my music on it and remove all the apps that were on there because i wanted more space for music, while restoring i came across a problem, an error message popped up and said, "The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored, an unknown error occured (2003)." i have the latest version of itunes installed and ive tried everything mentioned in the following article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307219, this ipod was fully functiong before i attempted to restore it and now its stuck in restore mode and will not work at all, i do not feel like paying to talk to an apple representitive to help me with a problem that shouldn't be happening in the first place so if someone could help me here that would be greatly appreciated.

    Well i had kinda the same problem. I pressed the wake/sleep button and the home button for 10 seconds. Then it shuts down. You connect it to iTunes and says this iPod was in restore mode, and continues or starts again. Hope can help!
