i bought a ipod touch from a coworker and it wont sync up with my pc. i have reloaded itunes 5 times, checked my security which is allowing it through and had the ipod and sync cable checked at a local store. i think it has somthing to do with vista operating system, the ipod does not show up in devices and it continues to beep when it is plugged into the usb. this is my first ipod and so far am very frustrated .

  • IPod Touch Second Generation Can't, no.. Wont, Charge (the poor thing is trying)

    Hello friendly Apple Experts,
    I recently had an unfortunate incident when my iPod touch third generation went for a swim. While we waited for it to recover I dug my old iPod touch second generation out of storage (when it was put it into storage it had been completely restored)
    Initially it took several hours to even begin charging. It would go from Charging Logo --> Apple Logo (loading screen) --> Black Screen, and start over again. Eventually it was juiced up enough to get to the home screen. After this it reverted to it's normal three hours, or so, of charge time. At first it was running like it did when it was first bought, the battery life was still exceptional. So I synced it to iTunes and loaded it right up.
    However, a few days later we dug the other iPod out of the rice and it seemed to be working just fine. So I began to use both, one for travel, the other for at home. Unfortunately the second generation one was put aside for about four weeks and the battery completely drained. Since I had initially rebooted the iPod it had not been completely drained again. At this point, it has been plugged in for several days and goes in a continuous loop of: Charge Logo --> Apple Logo --> Black Screen and then back again. And on yet another sad note, the battery life for the third generation one has been affected very negatively by its little dip.
    To be honest I never wanted the third generation one to begin with, the only reason I bought it was because the second generation’s software became completely obsolete.
    Anyway, my questions are...
    What has happened to my beloved Second Generation iPod touch?
    Is there any way to fix it?
    and...
    Is there anything I can do to prolong the life of the Third Generation device?
    Thanks so much,
    A friendly Apple consumer.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • IPod touch second generation 4.2

    I have the old and outdated iPod touch second generation with the 4.2 on it and I currently only have the apps that come with it when it's at it's factory setting, and I would like to know how I can get apps that are supported for this operating system without going through the app store and clicking on every app until I find one that will work. Now I do know that's it's considered old but surely there is some way to get apps on this device. I mainly got this to put music, videos, and pictures on and I can do that through iTunes. However, I would like to maybe put Facebook, craigslist, free texting, and possibly a few game apps on my iPod simply because I hate bouncing back and fourth on my phone from text messaging to my Facebook or games or whatever else I may be doing.. Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll get some responses that will be able to help me out

    No dice. There are not that many god apps that currently available for the 2G iPod. There is also no way to search only for compatible apps.
    FB and a lot of other good apps require iOS 4.3 or greater.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

    Apple have never accepted trade-ins agains the cost of a new device. You will need to sell the one you bought and apply the proceeds to the model you want.

  • While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

    Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
    I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

    Good to hear you found the solution.

  • Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

    Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine.  I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem  is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - 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.

    For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried.
