2nd Gen. Touch Low Battery Issue.

I recently got a 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch from a friend and i plugged it in with a low battery showing then loading the apple logo then resets to a blank screens then back to the low battery and repeats.

- After connecting to a charging source for an hour, try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Does iTunes see the iPod? If it does, restore the iPod via iTunes.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so y can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem. Likely a dead battery.

Sensor low battery indicator in 2nd gen Touch?

I got a used Nike+ kit last week. Everything worked fine, calibration right on. Did a warm-up walk tonight prior to running. When the walk was finished, it said my walk was 0 miles, pace was 0, and burned 0 calories. When I got ready to run, the iPod could never find the sensor. I have turned Nike+ off and on, put the sensor into sleep and "revived" it...all kinds of stuff.
Since it is a used sensor, I'm wondering if the battery has gone. I didn't see a low battery sensor, though, which makes me wonder if the 2nd gen Touch displays one.
All advice is welcome.

Sorry, didn't notice I was on the Nano forum.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal?

I just bought my new ipod touch. I found the battery life is quite short. Every day i have to charge it twice. Now I am keeping to use my ipod touch as less as possible to manage charging it once a day. This is really not compared to a regular phone, which you probably can use 3 or 4 days to recharge again.
The so-called dock adapter inside the box is quite tricky! I thought it is the power adapter. Normally when you buy a cellphone, it comes with the power adapter. But for ipod touch, you have to buy power adapter separately! I even don't know what's the use of this 'plastic' dock adapter. i called Apple and asked "You call this plastic piece an adapter!". It's a little funny!
During my first week using my ipod touch, it got stuck or crashed TWICE, two times! One time is when it downloaded an email with a 8Mb attachement.
In addition, I feel quite confusing with so many accounts with Apple, such as Apple store account, iTune account, iChat account, MobileMe account, and even this discussion forum account. Now I have 3 Apple IDs!
The use of MacBook is so far so good.
This is my experience with Apple's products!
Welcome comments and sharing your experience! i just couldn't help keeping myself silent.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal
Yes and no. Even in normal usage, Safari and videos can kill the battery in 4 - 5 hours, whereas music with the screen and WiFi off should last for 22 hours. Most iPT's can last for days in sleep mode, even with WiFi left "ON".
My previous iPod Touch had no battery problems -- the charge would only drop significantly when being used, not while sleeping. Now I have a replacement iPod Touch (the previous one couldn't install the 2.0 Update), and this one won't even last overnight in sleep mode.
Here's what I did in my last test: Turned all the WiFi services off -- Push: OFF, Fetch: OFF, Location Services: OFF, Ask to Join Networks: OFF, WiFi: OFF. Fully recharged the iPT, disconnected it and left it shut down overnight. Booted it up the next day, full battery (Okay so far). Next, I left the iPod Touch in sleep mode for the entire day (8am - 6pm), still full battery (Great!). At 9:00pm, turned on WiFi (and none of the other items mentioned above), used Safari for about 15 minutes, battery went down one notch ~ 90%. (Still normal) Put the iPT into sleep mode, but this time with WiFi left "ON". Woke up the next morning, and the battery plummeted to 10% in about 5 minutes. (NOT GOOD AT ALL).
My previous iPod Touch would have still had 90-80% battery the next morning. And while I would generally suspect the 2.0 Update being the culprit, everyone else I know has been running 2.0 without any problems -- no installation problems, no battery problems. I've been cursed with both issues in two separate iPods.
(I should also mention. I have not yet had a chance to install any media or applications on this iPod Touch, so there's no chance an errant application has somehow triggered a battery drain. This is just a plain iPT with the 2.0 Update and a restore of my Safari bookmarks.)

Both 1st and 2nd gen touchs losing video/music

I have a first gen touch and a 2nd gen touch that are both losing music and video periodically. They are both set to manually manage music and seem fine when plugged in. After hitting the eject button in itunes sometimes they are wiped sometimes they are fine. They only work after doing a restore at which point you have to put everything back on. Both itunes and the ipod software are up to date. Is there any way to fix this?

I have the same question
1) ATV gen2 = good at netflix, issues with everything else
2) ATV gen1 = good at playing movies, music, works well with apple remote, no Netflix
i just set them both up thinking the best solution is to just flip between them with my universal remote, but that remote controls both at the same time even though only one is visible. Interestingly, the Gen3 remote doesn't mess with the Gen1 ATV.
So how do we make it so that our universal remotes can control EACH ATV without both at the same time?

2nd Gen Touch & WiFi & Hidden SSID networks

I have tried to read all of the (many, many) existing threads on WiFi issues with the new iPod Touch -- frankly this ought to be a HUGE embarrassment to Apple.
Let me add to the list of problems -- the many strikes against this otherwise quite lovable device:
It doesn't play well with networks that use hidden SSID, so-called "closed" networks. All of the known existing problems with Touch 2Gen and ordinary WiFi networks (failure to join automatically, needing to have the device reset before joining, needing to turn off/on/off/on the wifi on the device before joining, etc. etc. etc.) -- are replicated and worsened when attempting to join and remain connected to a hidden-SSID network (yes, even one running on Apple's own wireless router!).
The worst is that, very often, one has to repeat going through the entire process of entering the network name and password -- as if the network had been 'forgotten.' (Although, it can be proved the iPod hasn't 'forgotten' the network, as the device will remember details such as a Static IP to associate with the network -- it just forgets to join it in the first place!)
Apple, Apple, Apple!
Are you determined to make me stop buying your products in the future?
Do you intend to fix the very buggy WiFi on this device?

Have you (or anyone who replied on this thread) actually opened a support case with Apple?
I just got a new 2nd Gen touch a couple of weeks ago and have been having the same problems described by you and the others here in my office (which uses a hidden SSID + 128bit WEP). Usually, the connection is lost when the unit comes out of sleep and it won't come back until I do a reset of the network settings and re-enter all the connection parameters.
I have 2 other co-workers with 2nd gen units and they have the exact same problems (worse actually, since they are both farther from the nearest access point).
There are 2 other folks here who have 1st gen units and neither one has ever had any problems here in the building. So this does appear to be a 2nd gen only issue.
I installed the 2.2 update which didn't help or hurt, but I was having the problems with the older 2.1.2 software.
It would be encouraging to at least hear from someone that Apple has acknowledged this is a real problem. If there is some sort of workaround, that would be even more encouraging.
Thanks,

My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod

My 2nd gen touch no longer adds changes from my Outlook 2003 calendar during sync. I even deleted the calendar from the iPod & when I added it back, I still got old data. Any ideas?

Hi William,

Hope this helps you.

Airplay works for phots and video, but not music on 2nd gen touch

Upgraded to 4.2 on 2nd gen touch. I can send photos and videos/movies to AppleTV via Airplay, but not music. I can select AppleTV when playing a song on Touch and the music stops playing from Touch, but never plays from AppleTV. Audio works just fine for movies sent to AppleTV.
Anyone else experience this?
Support told me that this feature is not supported on 2nd gen Touch and I'd have to buy a new Touch. The Apple website says feature is supported. A second call to support and they said it is. ?????

Im having a similar problem where after a period of time I can get neither my iPhone 4 or iTouch 2G to see the Air Tunes speakers on my Airport Express base station. Always works fine from my computer's iTunes though. What I found works is powering off and rebooting the phone / iTouch (not just locking it). When it reboots go to your music and maybe you'll see the Apple TV or Airport Express icon appear now. Works for me anyways. After a while, they will "forget" and I need to reboot the phone again to find it. I think there are kinks in the 4.2 iOS that need to be sorted out.

Bought Nike+ for 2nd gen touch, doesnt sense it, help please

I bought a new Nike+ sensor for my 2nd gen touch and right out of the box it wouldnt work. It told me to walk around to activate the sensor, but i can walk for 10 minutes and nothing, so i decided to ask the people that actually know something about ipods... thanks
p.s. tried to wake it up, tried settings and calibrations, and checked for software updates

Did you happen to activate the touch to work with the sensor? You have to turn it on in Settings > Nike + iPod.

Where can I download an older version of ibooks for my 2nd gen touch?

My Ipod touch crashed, then when I tried to restore from a back up it said the back up was corrupt!
I now have no way of reading any of my books.
When I move my books from Itunes to my ipod I get a message telling me that I must install Ibooks to read any of my books. But as I have a 2nd gen Ipod i cannot download the new ibooks
Is there anyway I can download an old version of Ibooks or use another app to read them? I have tried installing kindle and stanza but they require a newer IOS.
I have installed ereader but it can't locate any books in my library...
I'm more than a little annoyed! Can someone help?

Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
Your iPod stopped working, did it?
and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

I was bored today, so I took a gamble on 3.1.1 on my 2nd gen Touch

So far so good. less than 5 minutes to download the update, 30 minutes to back up Touch, 8 minutes or less to update, and so far all is ok, even wifi. this makes the first time I've installed an upgrade since last year that I wasn't bitten by the same issues as most others,such as last year's "turn on/turn off/turn on" wifi in order to get it to connect issue. IF nothing strange happens in the next couple of days, I give it a thumbs up. However, I still have my wife's Touch to update....
PS: cold boot now takes the 31 seconds (for 2nd gens like mine) reported elsewhere. prior cold boot time was 22 seconds. Guess I'll try not to shut it off often.

I said: One of the more common bugs, both in iphones and touches, seems to be that smart playlists (the kind that compile tracks based on rules you set, like "most played" or "recently added") are not syncing correctly. Can you create a smart playlist (file > new smart playlist) based on these criteria, sync it, then see if the playlist on your ipod matches the playlist on itunes?
'Match the following rule': Media Kind is Music
Limit to "25" items selected by "most often played"
Leave 'match only checked items' unchecked
Check 'Live Updating'
Regardless of whether or not you're experiencing the ipod touch bug, you should see a playlist in itunes that works correctly. You'll get a list of 25 items that have the 25 highest play counts in your library. You can verify the list by comparing it to viewing the 25 first tracks in your library if you sort by play count.
After you sync this playlist with a properly functioning ipod touch, you should see a similar list on your touch (it might not be identical if you don't have all of your highest rated tracks in itunes synced to your touch). With the bug, and I've seen it on both touches that I've upgraded, you'll see a list of seemingly random tracks. Some of the tracks coming up on mine have zero plays, and the list isn't even sorting those random tracks in play count order.
As folks like to mention, everyone on here has problems with their stuff, so I haven't heard anyone say that this feature still works properly for them after the 3.1.1 upgrade. Let me know if you're an exception.

2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.
