4.0 and 2nd gen ipod

does anyone know the advantages that the 3rd gen iPod will have over the 2nd gen when 4 is released, and are any of the features worth the cost of replacing a second generation ipod?

the 32gig and 64gig models will be able to use multi-tasking. see http://www.apple.com/iphone/preview-iphone-os/.

I currently have an iPhone 4s, ipad2 and 2nd gen iPod touch connected to a dock. Can I control the iPod using my phone or iPad if I have iTunes open on laptop?

The Tango app might be of some help with that:

Can I use the same sync cord for my 1st Gen and 2nd Gen iPod?

I have to replace my sync cord (house fire) and I wondered if I could buy just one cord to sync both my iPods? I have a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen.

If they both use the same type of cord, 30-pin or lightning, then yes, you can. There is no difference to the internals of the cords, just the connectors. Just match what you need.

What is the difference between the 1st GEN and 2nd GEN IPOD TOUCH

Does anyone know the changes?

In addition...
The 2nd gen will accept headphones with microphone.
The 2nd gen has a volume control up/down button on the case.
The 2nd gen has bluetooth capabilities which in theory will be enabled with the iPhone 3.0 software update.
The 2nd gen can be obtained in a 32GB model as well as the 8GB and 16GB models.

1st Gen and 2nd Gen - help me?

Ok so i'm confused here...
The 1st gen and 2nd gen iPod touches both have the same 128mb of RAM yes...
So why is it that the 1st gen is apparently incapable of running iOS 4?
Yes, i understand that multi-tasking, and wallpapers(?) are too memory-intensive for the devices with such a small amount of RAM.
But come on, surely something like folders isn't totally 100% impossible for the 1st gen??
I know that the second gen is running @ 121Hz faster than the first but i would've thought that folders require the use of the memory over the processor?

I make no judgements about whether these devices are iOS 4 capable or not. Nor do I offer an opinion about the policy of which devices do, and which do not, upgrade. Nevertheless, it is Apple's policy, and I unfortunately I don't think you're gonna get the answer you seek here... Sorry.
You could try a Genius Bar or AppleCare, but only if you seek a Monty Python-style ‘Argument Clinic’...

2nd gen iPod Touch - screen - contrast ratio issue?

hello
i was wondering if anyone else have this problem / issue
what i notice in the 2nd gen ipod touch compare to the the 1st gen touch
is the the differences in contrast of the screen
1st gen ipod touch appears to be darker
and 2nd gen ipod touch lighter or "washed out"
the black in the 2nd gen doesnt appears to be black black, if anyone knows what im talking about
and when comparing to the magenta or blue 2nd gen also appears lighter
mind you i have set both brightness setting to FULL bright and NO Auto-brightness
i can understand that there is off course difference in LCD but the difference is quite noticeable
if anyone else have this issues please voice your concern I hope im not the only one out there.
i would ideally prefer the screen contrast to be in between the washed out of my 2nd gen ipod touch and the 1st gen ipod touch
and is there a way to fix it?
cheers

Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1. It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up. The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time. the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file. Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.

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

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 and DLO FM transmiter prob

Help
I have a 20g 2nd gen Ipod (works great, updated to ver 2.3) and I just bought the DLO mini transmitter. The problem: ipod controls freeze when connected to the DLO transmitter (ipod continues to play music) but I loose ipod control function. I need to disconnect the ipod to switch to the next track.
Depending on the station I think the sound quality is quite good but the loss of ipod function is a real bummer. Should I try switching into disc mode? Would that help?
thanks
Patrick

I just did a test, to confirm that it does work for me.
I deleted all songs from my 2G shuffle. Then, I manually added ONE song. I picked a song that I knew only had one version in my iTunes library, not a song with more than one recording. I noted the play count for that song, in my main library and on the shuffle (as shown on iTunes window). I ejected the shuffle. I played the one song on the shuffle until it finished and started to play for a second time. I paused playback, and reconnected the shuffle.
When the shuffle appeared back in iTunes, the playcount (both in the main library and on the shuffle) had advanced by 1.
Would it be possible to do the same test with your shuffle and your iTunes installation?

What does apple plan to do for the people with 2nd gen ipod touch who want to have facebook and other apps now only compatible with ios 5?

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

I can't see songs on 2nd gen ipod classic and no there is no "on this ipod"

I cannot access contents of ipod 2nd gen classic. Summary - music - movies etc photos - info and the blue button DONE. The ipod is full and I can't upload podcasts. Every one who helps, and others asking this question are all told to click "on this ipod" but that is not an option among the itunes pull down menus.
I fear Apple inc wants to force me away from my perfectly functional 2nd gen ipod by not supporting it properly in itunes.

Remove something from the iPod then.

What question? You've simply made a few random statements, the meaning of which appears to be lost in translation (to me anyway!).
You need to be more specific.
Do you use Sync to manage your iPod? If so, make changes in your iTunes Library, that will remove some media from the iPod at the next Sync, thus leaving room for the Podcasts.
Then connect the iPod to your iTunes Library and look on the iPod/Podcasts pane. (I assume that your reference to "on this iPod" is related to this step.) Do you mean this?...
or, if you have the Sidebar turned on, this....
Whichever screen you have, click on the device, and then look on the Podcasts pane and choose the option to Sync Podcasts to your iPod. You may need to click on Sync (if you made your choice after iTunes has reached the Podcasts step).
If this does not address your issue, try alittle less drama and a bit more information about which steps you have made, and what did not happen that you expected to happen. Then we might get somewhere.

Fear not, it is properly supported.

HT1719 I have a 2nd gen. iPod shuffle that I got from my grandson,and want to load music, or delete songs. I don't have the software for it. Can I still get that?

I have a 2nd gen. ipod shuffle that I want to load music onto, but only have the shuffle. can i get software for it?

Hi, my son has a second generation shuffle (the first type of aluminium clip-on one) and the current version of iTunes "talks" to it just fine. iTunes is a free download from Apple. That's all the software you need.

I have tried many pairs (at least 10) of earphones/headphones sets, that all work on other players, but mysteriously loose the left input when using my iPod. I have tried a restore, but I do not see a difference.
Thank you for your comment.

I Have a 2nd gen iPod and it will not sync with the new update of iTunes is there a fix coming for this or not I'd hate to have to buy a new iPod if I don't have to

Have you tried syncing manually using the manual method included in
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Was the iPod previously synced to another computer/iTunes library?
Next wold be to retore from backup.
iOS: How to back up

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.

I have a 2nd-gen iPod from 2002 and recently broke the AC power adapter. Specifically the removable AC plug section. Is there a way to get a replacement?

Have you tried Googling for it yet? There are numerous third party service centers and repair shots that offer replacement parts and such for all models of iPods.
