2nd Gen iTouch Screen/Headphone port problems.

Ok, so my sister has a 2nd gen iPod Touch that was immediately put into an Otterbox case to protect it. It's been a few months and now when she plugs in headphones, the screen flickers on and off if the headphone plug is moved around. I don't know what the heck is the problem and that darn Otterbox protects that thing. Any ideas? Thanks.

You have a hardware issue there that would need to be serviced to fix. The socket may need to be replaced. If you are out of warranty, I would suggest a third-party repair shop. It will be cheaper than Apple.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Could it be this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit...

The backlight on my 2nd gen itouch has quit... I restored the restored the software, but it didn't help - I'm sure its a hardware problem. Does anyone know what the fix for this might cost? Thanks
I couldn't see any other similar questions until this posted just a second ago - in case in helps with the diagnosis, the backlight does come on intermittently, which made me think it was a software problem, but now I'm just not sure.

I would make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Applew store. It is free except for your time. Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished 2G for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place may be less expensive: Here us one. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

Solitaire City on 2nd Gen. iTouch

I've got Solitaire City on my 2nd gen iTouch. Here's my question for the group. When playing a game and you move a card from the field to the "home row", a bell sounds. On my iTouch I hear a crackle when the bell sounds. I'm just wondering if anyone else hears the same thing, or do i have a screwed speaker.
I hope to hear from others.
Thanks

- Purchase and install version 3.0 of the iPhone/Touch software from the iTunes Store.
- Go into Settings>General and set Bluetooth to On.
Note: The only Bluetooth devices that the Touch will currently sync with are stereo speakers and headphones (NOT headset/mic combos such as you would use with a cell phone).

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

2nd Gen itouch syncing

2nd Gen itouch: I am using Outlook Express on my PC & wish to continue doing so.
Succesfully synced music, photos & bookmarks but will not sync address book. I have tried using Outlook, this does not work and have followed all insructions in manual. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help?
Not here I'm afraid. This is the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum, which has nothing to do with syncing iPod touch (not iTouch) to Windows PCs.

Can i put iOS5 update on my 2nd gen. itouch?

i have a 16 gig, 2nd gen itouch. can i get the iOS5 software update on it? if so how. and if not, will they make it available anytime soon?

Probably not, if memory serves, iOS5 is only available for iPod touch 3rd generations on up.

IPod Touch 2nd gen 4.2 update volume problems

I just updated my 2nd gen ipod touch and the volume no longer works. The volume buttons dont work, when I play music or a video theres no volume bar underneath the play/pause control. The volume will only work when I have headphones plugged into the ipod but when I unplug the headphones the volume bar disappears. Any solutions???

I have 4.2 also. I was having sort of the same problem. My problem was the volume bar appeared but in some apps it was useless. Visit settings sounds you should see the volume slider. Under that it will say change with buttons. Make sure it says on. Hope this helps.

Ipod Touch 2nd gen. Backlight and App Problem

I bought an iPod touch 2nd gen. from a friend and it worked completely fine. But today, my iPod's backlight just randomly shut off. I can see the apps and everything works perfectly fine, the screen is just very dim. The iPod is jailbroken. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!
Also, another problem I am having is with apps. Some apps that I have had previously installed on my iPod and then deleted will not reinstall along with new apps I wish to install. I have tried installing them from iTunes on my computer, but that doesn't help either. If anyone has any answers to any of these problems, please help me.
THANK YOU ((:
I do not know what operating system the iPod currently running on.

Exact same problem. I bought my ipod touch 2nd gen last december.I have always kept it in a plastic case for protection. Then the other day the button wasnt responding very well, I thought it was because the case wasnt fitting correctly. So today the button stopped working completely. My local retail store elcorteingles¿ i live in spain? are useless, theyll tell me to call apple, but because my 90 fredays are up i have to pay probally which is stupid considering my ipod is still under warranty. I also have never dropped my ipod ¿it cost allot of money so obviously ive been looking after it)
So I gues the best option is take it to your local retail store (if their usefull) or in my case ill have to send it away for maintanance.

I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod touch having huge problem during update, please help

I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod that has been working fine till now. The device asked for a software update and downloaded the necessary software. During the update process; however, something happened and the computer started not recognizing the device now. On the device screen there is a symbol asking for me to connect the cable to itunes but even if I connect it to the computer, the device is not recognized. Resetting the device didn't solve the problem. Could you please help?

Hello!
Tried DFU mode? This stands for Device Firmware Update and/or Download Firmware Upgrade.
This is how to put your device into DFU:
1. Connect to A computer with iTunes open, Turn off (Whilst still connected)
2. Hold Home + Sleep/wake together for 10 seconds.
3. Let go of sleep wake BUT keep holding home for 10 seconds.
This shoould result in a message on your PC/Mac screen. Follow the steps and it should work. Let me know of the results.
