2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
Then try:
- 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.
- Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

  • 2nd gen ipod touch doesn't wake up regularly to receive email

    How can I get my 2nd gen iPod Touch (using ios 4.2.1 Build Version 8C148) to 'wake up' regularly to receive email (from my gmail account)? When the screen blanks (locks) while the wi-fi is on, it appears to also turn off wi-fi (I assume to conserve battery charge) until I unlock the screen, & therefore doesn't check for email every so often - I have to unlock screen & check manually. I want to know if there are iPod settings (I feel I looked over all possibilities, but could have missed something) or an app that can enable my iPod Touch to check for email every 10 minutes (while the screen is locked & there's enough charge in the battery) & if I receive one or more emails, generate the audio notification. [I tried several search phrasings on this support site & saw nothing similar to my request for assistance]
    Thanks.

    The only setting is to have Push turned on in the Settings>Mail. However, your problem may be related to Google stopping Push for Gmail

  • Will a gamestop 6002-7331 charge a 2nd gen ipod touch?

    Does anyone know if a gamestop 6002-7331 wall charger will charge a 2nd gen ipod touch.  The other info on the gamestop charger is:
    Input: 100-240VAC 0.5A 50/60 Mz 
    Output: 5VDC 1000mA

    Thanks, lllaass!  You've made my day!
    I wanted to give my older 2nd gen ipt to my preteen granddaughter but wanted to be sure she'd be able to also charge it without it being connected to the computer via usb.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch sleep/wake button will not work

    Like the title says, the sleep/wake button (top button) doesn't work on my 2nd gen ipod touch. In short, I can't put it into sleep mode (I have to wait the one minute), turn it off to save the battery, take screenshots, or even reset it (without iTunes, anyways).
    I don't have any guesses on why it's not working. It just stopped working one day. I don't see water damage (via the water damage detector in the earbud jack), and I don't think I dropped it in a way that would harm it (unless dropping it on carpet counts).
    I should also mention that randomly, one day after school, I was messing with it, and the button worked. I think the battery had died, and I managed to turn it on then. It worked for a few hours (I charged the battery), and then it went back to not working.
    The warranty's up (and I'm broke), so I can't repair it. I also want to point out that the problem started not long after the warranty expired. What, at this point, is my best option? Should I just save up for the newest model? Or would it be cheaper and more efficient to save up just enough for a repair? Any other options I should consider?
    Thanks in advance.

    As I said, you can move on to Restore. Backup everything then Restore as New. Restoring from backup would just copy whatever software issue you may have. But it sure looks more and more like a hardware problem. Take a close look at the button to see if perhaps some dirt particles are stuck there.
    You can also make an appointment with a Gnius at the nearest Apple store to have it diagnosed. Apple does not fix iPods, they just replace them with refurbished units, so it won't be cheap. Prices are here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You can Google for third part repair hops or do-it-yoursel kits.
    Good luck.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch - Factory restore not working

    I'm trying to factory restore my 2nd gen ipod touch.  I figured I could simply choose the factory reset in the setting and it would do it's thing.  Now it says it needs to connect to iTunes in order to complete the process.  However, when I plug my phone into my (windows) PC, iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It makes the normal sounds and starts charging, so I know the PC recognizes that it's connected, but iTunes will not.  now, I can't do anything on the ipod - it just sits there like a brick,   help!

    Tap Settings > WiFi > your network name (or at least the one with the check mark). Tap the little blue > next to the name. Look at Device IP - if it starts with 169.x then your router has not issued you an IP address
    You also should have "Renew Lease" and "Forget this Network" buttons. Try pressing Renew Lease to see if you then get a valid response from your router.
    If this doesn't work you can try these things:
    1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug back in). If this doesn't fix it, try disabling security to rule that out.
    2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
    There is more troubleshooting info [in this support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398].
    Hope this helps.

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

  • 2nd gen iPod Touch - can earphones with mic be used?

    My daughter just got a 2nd gen Touch. She wants to buy some apps that use a microphone for input. I realise the 2nd gen doesn't come supplied with inline mic earphones (as opposed to the 3rd gen, which does), but can she buy any brand of earphone with inline mic and expect them to work?
    Or does she need official Apple ones?

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch with the 3.1 software loaded. I don't see a menu available to pair a Bluetooth stereo headset. Is this capability available on the 2nd gen ipod touch?

  • Downloading HD videos on a 2nd gen. iPod Touch?

    Hey guys!
    I'm having some difficulty downloading some newer HD videos on my 2nd gen. iPod touch (Legend of Korra episodes if you must know). Two of them aren't downloaded on, one of them I have no clue why, and the other "The Voice in the Night", cannot be played on the iPod (even though the other ones can). I'm wondering if I can change the video so I can download it onto my iPod without buying it again.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    The other episode is "The Revelation", and it just won't download for no reason (iTunes doesn't notify me that it won't either).

    Should work fine, it is a USB power adaptor.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch problems

    ive factory reset my 2nd gen ipod touch andit seemed sucessful until it came to loading the i pod back up where it is now stuck on a black screen with the apple logo with a loading counter underneath which has appeared to have frozen. what can i do?

    Try restarting the iPod touch by holding the home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo dissappears and then reappears.
    If that doesn't do it, try restoring the iPod from recovery mode.
    WTH.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrading IOS 8 my Ipod Touch doesn't charge.

    Since the upgrade to IOS 8 my ipod touch doesn't charge directly with the charger. It's not the cable or the charger. The cable works fine when I connect the ipod touch to my computer and start itunes, if I turn iphoto it still doesn't charge. And the plug works with the former ipods.
    Any suggestions?
    My ipod touch is 5th generation and I bought it 2 months ago. Even on the day of upgrade(before), it was charging with the charger.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
