2nd generation iPod touch doesn't turn on or respond to anything I've done so far. Any suggestions ???

I have two 2nd generation iPod touch's and both just stopped turning on, they don't respond to anything. I've tried everything I know of (hard resets,soft resets,pluging them to a wall charger and computer) and still haven't made any progress. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me ??
Thanks for your help.

Seeing that your iPod has been through a lot of rough handling, there is a chance that it is at the end of its life. I recommend taking it in to an Apple Store and getting it looked at.

  • 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on

    My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on.  I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen.  When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either.  I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged.  There is no way it could be dead.  It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
    - Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore 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.
    - Next see if recoverymode  will make the iPod visible.  For recovery mode see:

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch won't turn on no matter what, the last time I turned it on the screen went blue and just completely shut down and it hasn't worked since December 2013, i have connected it to iTunes and did the thing with the home button.

    Is their anything else I can try?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 2nd generation ipod touch wont turn on. The screen blinks but the apple icon doesn't show up.

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I got from a friend. I drove all the way across the country (three day trip) and it worked perfectly. It was in a hard case and has no damages to it. I haven't dropped it or gotten water on it at all. But for some reason the screen wont turn on. It blinks on and off when I plug it into the charger (and theres like a soft clicking noise that I hear when the screen blinks) but the apple logo wont show up. And it doesn't seem to actually be charging. It doesn't seem to actually die all the way either.... It's weird.. but I know no damages have happened to it so I don't know what to do. I've tried to reset it (pressing and holding the home and power buttons) but that wont work either. Help?

    Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

    Hi, I've reset my 2nd generation ipod touch. However,the connect to itunes graphic appears on the screen but when I attach to my powerbook it doesn't show up either in itunes or finder. I can't be the first to have experienced this problem. please could someone advise me.

    What iOS do you have on the iPod?
    Did it every connect to your computer with that iOS?
    The latest iOD for the 2G is 4.2.1 and that required a Mac with 10.5.8 or later.
    Have you tried:
    - another USB port and cable
    - iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch.  Lately the screen will not light up and also at times while typing it returns to the home screen (such as in facebook. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried any of the usual 5 R's for troubleshooting.  See here for more information.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    If none of those resolve the issue (including restoring the device back to factory defaults), the backlight issue is likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • 2nd Generation Ipod touch stuck in recovery. PLEASE HELP!

    My 2nd Generation Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. At least i think it's recovery mode, the connect to itunes thing comes up and won't go away when I try to turn it on. I am willing to restore it but Itunes won't let me. When I press restore, an error comes up that says "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted." I have NEVER had any problems with this ipod before, except that it's a natural piece of crap, but yeah, it has worked completely fine until today when it randomly turned off (it may have died) and is now in recovery mode. It is not jailbroken or modified in any way. Also where Itunes usually gives you your ipod information I get this;
    Name: Ipod
    Capacity: n/a
    Software Version: n/a
    Serial Number: n/a
    Please help me....

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • 2nd Generation iPod Touch won't upgrade to iOS 4.2

    I just traded my old 2nd generation ipod touch with apple for one with a new battery. I sync it with itynes and am told to upgrade the IOS to 4.2. When I try, i get this message: The iPod "Bob's iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1). 
    I have also tried to update the software using my older MacBook with an earlier version of iTunes and get the same message.  I even complained to Apple and they sent me another replacement and I still get the message. I am told that you can upgrade the 2nd generation to 4.2 but it doesn't work for me. I have disabled my antivirus software and everything else I can think of. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I may be doing wrong?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch is frozen... help please?

    I went to turn my 2nd generation ipod touch off by pressing the top button, and it is now frozen on the screen that has the "slide to power of" bar across the top and the "cancel" bar on the bottom. I have tried to press both buttons but nothing seems to happen... and it will not restart at all. I also tried plugging it into itunes and it WILL charge but not turn on at all. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Hello, Welcome to discussions.
    If you have done both the methods in the article below which looks like you have. Plus you connected to a power source and it is not progressing past current screen. You have a couple options.
    1. allow touch to drain the battery, then reconnect and allow it to charge
    2. Make an appointment at your local apple retail store and or contact your iPod Touch support group.

  • Troubles with ITunes for 2nd Generation Ipod Touch.

    My boyfriend bought me a new 2nd Generation Ipod touch for Xmas and I installed Itunes on my computer. It worked, but when I try to transfer songs over to the Touch it wont allow me, and shows a circle with a cross in it. I have it on manually sync music to Ipod touch and still it doesn't work. I tried using the itunes help menu but it failed me and didn't work either.
    Could someone please help me? I have Windows XP, and the computer type is LG I believe. Any helpful info can be sent to [email protected] or too this thread. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

  • Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

    My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
    Thanks,
    dukegirl90

    I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
    Will this happen with the iHome?

  • 2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook

    Hello all,
    So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

    Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.
