2nd gen screen not as bright

I just got a new 2nd gen iTouch and the screen has a slight yellow/grey cast to it. Spent an hour at the apple store and although their demos are bright like my first gen (whites and blues are true), the new 2nd gen they pulled out of a box for me to compare also had the duller cast to it. There is no screen cover on, and we looked at both software versions-no difference-it's the unit itself. Has anyone else noticed this when going from a first gen to 2nd gen? Do some batches have better color than others?

This is normal. Apparently it was a conscious decision by Apple to make the colors "warmer". It is mentioned in this review from Macworld:

  • Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) Does Not Recognize Songs

    My Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) does not recognize the songs that are loaded on it. When I turn it on after a full charge the green light stays on for about 5 seconds then turns off. When I press play, the colors flash orange and green indicating there are no songs loaded. I've tried all the recommendations and also seen that people with similar problems have not been able to resolve the problem as well. I've seen some cases where the use of the Ipod Rest Utility is recommended however I have Vista on my PC and there is no version available for that o/s that I could find. Does anyone have any other suggestions. Thanks.
    Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen)   Windows Vista  

    I changed the iPod to Disk mode and it just blinks orange while it is connected to the PC. It says that it is synched on the PC screen but I thought the blinking orange light means that it isn't. I took it back out of disk mode. The original problem still exists...when I turn it on, the green light stays lit for 5 seconds then there's no light at all....when I press play the lights alternate orange and green indicating no music is loaded which is wrong since it shows all my songs that are loaded when it is connected to my PC. What a mess.

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4)

    My new iPod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4). Get error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". It works just fine with my iMac (g4). If iTunes is open the shuffle is just not recognized. Have tried my shuffle on a friend's PowerBook (Intel based) and it works fine. His new shuffle behaves exactly like mine on my powerbook. All other uses with USB ports appear fine - flash drives etc. I did initialize a new flash drive with 128 bit encryption before the 1st attempt to initialize my new shuffle.
    Help! Thanks

    Does it show in Apple System Profiler's USB tree? Have you tried connecting it (through its dock) to another computer?

  • My VadoHD 8GB 2nd Gen is not dectecting my laptops

    Hi Support Team,
    I am pretty much intense because my VadoHD 8GB 2nd Gen is not connecting any of my Lapto
    ps.
    Before it used to detect easily on my MacBook Pro and downloads the videos easily. Right now after using around 3 months, its not detecting and I can not download any of my videos. I can take the video and play back on it but can not download on my machines. I have already tried connecting in Mac, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 but not working at all.
    This is so weird. Please help. I have to download my trip videos.
    Thanks,

  • HT1430 there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

    What you do mean a lock icon?
    On the whole screen or just in the status bar where it shows "iPod" and Time/Battery?
    If the icon's there everything's ok. The feature was removed in iOS 6, anyways, the icon should be only in the lock screen.

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) - Does not work with Component AV Cable

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Today I bought the component AV cable at the Apple store (along with a universal dock). Connected it correctly to the TV and:
    1. No picture (screen is blue, as though nothing connected); no sound (whether video or music)
    2. Whatever video is playing on the actual iPod gets stuck - as though it is on "pause", with the difference that you can push "play" and "pause" and the only thing that does is change the "play" or "pause" icon from one to the other or vice-versa--video will not actually play
    3. Setting Widescreen to "on" or "off" has no effect
    4. Tried connecting it to an old iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) - also no sound.
    Please advise!

    Alex_K
    Try changeing your TV out setting, found in the (Settings) of your ipod. Following Paragraph found in the iPod User manual (Page 98): http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
    "Use these settings to set up how iPod touch plays videos on your TV. For more
    information about using iPod touch to play videos on your TV, see “Watching Videos
    on a TV” on page 39.
    Turn widescreen on or off: Choose Video and turn Widescreen on or off.
    Set TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL.
    NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards. iPod touch displays NTSC 480p/PAL 576p
    when attached to a TV using a component cable, or NTSC 480i/PAL 576i using a
    composite cable. Your TV might use either of these, depending on where you bought
    it. If you’re not sure which to use, check the documentation that came with your TV. "
    Hope that helps,

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen screen is scrambled

    I have a 2nd gen Ipod nano and the screen is either blank or scrambled.  I tried to reboot it by holding down the menu and center button simultaneously and that had worked in the past but not this time.  Before I would get the Apple logo on the screen but nothing now. 

    Have you tried any of the standard 5 r's of troubleshooting yet?  If so, and the issue still persists, your iPod's LCD is damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen screen is cracked!

    I had my Ipod Touch 2nd Gen for 6 and a half months. Yesterday, I sitting at my computer and I heard something fall. I turn to find out it was my ipod touch. I lifted up, not seeing the crack. I put noticed it when I put it in the light. Its one big one and then three long, but small ones. I did my research to see what I can do. Apple doesn't cover accidental. I know that. I was check around websites. Is it worth getting the screen fixed? Or should I just get a new one? I asked my family and they can't give me a answer.

    It depends on how much it costs to get it fixed. If it is a good bit of money to pay for a fix, then you might want to get a new 3rd Gen. They have faster performance.

  • Airport Extreme 2nd Gen - can not retrieve or assign an IP address

    I had two 2nd gen Airport Extreme base stations. One connects to the internet, the other bridges the network to my office where I have wired devices connected. The office base station was no longer allowing me to connect to my USB drive for time machine backups, but all of the wired devices were routing to the internet properly.
    I purchased a new base station (5th gen), bringing my total to three extreme stations and two express base stations (one express for an old wired network printer, the other for streaming music).
    The old main base station is moved into the office, and the new base station (5th gen) becomes the "main" internet access point. I reset both devices and they install without a hiccup. Ditto the new express stations - they connect without having to reset them. Everything works as it did before the upgrade.
    I take the old office base station (the one that would not allow me to backup via time machine) and do a factory reset. It reboots, the light flashes yellow (not surprising). I hook an old macbook (10.6.8) up to the old base station (and turned off the wifi) using a wired ethernet cable the ethernet port is assigned an IP address (10.0.1.2) via DHCP. My other macbook pro (10.8.5) running the latest AirPort Utility sees the old base station using wifi (under other wifi network). I select the old base station it automatically connects it to my new base station stating:
    "This Airport Extreme will now be set up to extend <my new 5th gen AirPort Extreme base station>"
    I change the default name and click next.
    Now when the old office base station boots it will not connect to the network - it still flashes yellow. It will not assign itself an IP address, the macbook plugged into the ethernet port (using dhcp) shows (under network settings):
    "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet."
    (the 169.... number)
    Now the funky part. I manually set the wired ethernet's IP4 configuration (IP, subnet, router and dns server) on the old Macbook running snow leapord (10.6.8) - remember the wifi is turned off - and bingo - I am connected to the internet. All the while my old AirPort Exreme continues to blink yellow. If I manually assign an IP address to the AirPort Exreme's light turns green.
    Clearly the old device is working. The ethernet port works, the wifi works - routing traffic from the wired ethernet through my home network and out to the internet. My AirPort utility on all my macs can see the base station, and can configure it (via wifi). I have even tried (via wifi) downgrading the firmware to 7.6.3 and then to 7.6.0 and the back up to 7.6.4. The only thing it will not do is give retrieve an IP address, or assign an IP address to wired devices.
    Any ideas?

    I attempted to see/access (via the Disk Utility on my iMac) two drives already connected to my AirPort Extreme, but could not.
    These drives are shared "network" drives, which Disk Utility cannot access. Disk Utility will only be able to access a drive if it is connected directly to a Mac.
    If you need to format the drive(s), partition them, etc., you must do so with the drive connected directly to the Mac, then move them to the USB powered hub location at the AirPort Extreme.
    These drives are available through the Finder and are used for Time Machine
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the AirPort Extreme, but some users seem to be able to make this work.
    1) Can I see/access USB drives (properly fomatted and visible/accessible in the Finder window) attached to my AirPort Extreme (2nd gen-firmware version 7.6.2)via a powered USB hub?
    Probably. Some users find that one powered hub will work for them while another might not. To "see" the drives, you must first click on the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder. Then, if the drives are formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), each drive will appear as a folder. Double click the folder name to mount the drive on the desktop.
    2) Can I use my iMac (running Lion 10.7.4) to create a concatenated disk set with USB drives (of varying size) attached to my AirPort Extreme via a powered USB hub?
    The drives will all appear as separate drives, which must be accessed separately. If you were thinking of trying to start Time Machine backups on one drive and have them continue automatically on another drive when the first drive is full, that will not work.

  • IPod shuffle(2nd gen) is not recognised by Windows XP

    I instaled iTunes software from the website
    and transfered the songs to the iPod.
    When i unpluged the iPod and turned it ON, the green light on one side is glowing continuously.
    I neither responded to any of the button press.
    When I plugged it in again, the system was not able to recognise the device.
    Do help me resolve the issue.

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by XP or iTunes

    Situation:
    2nd gen nano with Nike+ will not appear in Device Manager nor charge. In essence, the XP pro computer does not see the nano at all. However, Nike+ still works, the nano still works in an iHome clock radio and it will beep when connected to a dock.
    Troubleshooting:
    * 5Rs attempted - however, since the PC Device Manager will not see the nano, I can't issue any restore commands.
    * even with nano in disk mode, PC does not see it
    * older first gen nano still works properly with same iTunes environment.
    Has the USB on the newer nano gone bye-bye?
