I downloaded the latest itunes, now my 2nd gen ipod touch hangs up during sync process at backing up. Am I just out of luck? I've tried the uninstall/reinstall several times.  Thanks.

I understand it's "obsolete", so do I have any hope of continuing to use it or will I be forced to buy a later model?

Try running 'CMD' as Administrator    (CMD will get you to a DOS prompt)
Then type in  -->   Netsh Winsock Reset
Then reboot your computer and then try syncing...  this worked for me last night.

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.

  • HT201272 I have a 2nd gen ipod touch and had to restore it from back up. When I did that, I lost a lot of apps that I had previously purchased and now they will not re-install. How do I get the apps to install on the ipod now?

    Please help Obi Wan, you're my only hope.

    So you are saying that you purchased it by:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Is iTunes signed into the same iTunes account that purchased it?
    How long ago did you purchase it?
    Did you purchase it on another computer?
    Contact iTunes:

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

    2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

    Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
    Then 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.
    - Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

  • TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store.  No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up.  I've restarted my computer twice.

    I downloaded the latest Itunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but now I can't access the Itunes Store.  There's no error message, it just keeps "accessing" but never completes.  How can I fix this?

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,

  • I have a ipod classic 5th gen 30gb, if i download a movie or song from the current itunes i use with my ipod touch will it play? or do i have to get another type of itunes, if so which one?

    i have windows 7 and a2nd gen ipod touch and i just aquired an ipod classic which is a 5th gen from 2005 with a 30 gb capacity. can i download a video movie or episode and songs from the current itunes i use for my ipod touch or is there a different one i should use? please help.

    You can plug the iPod into the same iTunes library as your iPod Touch and sync whatever content you like to it. There is no limilt to the number of iPads, iPhones, or iPods you can sync with one iTunes library, account, or computer.  How you sync one device will not affect the syncing preferences of the other.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

    I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
    Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
    1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
    2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
    3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
    4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
    If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch - do I need to use Google calendar now?

    I've updated my Mac to OSX 10.7.2 but I've not upgraded to iCloud, because I have a 2nd gen iPod touch.
    As I've read Apple has not including calendars support for these, do I need to use Google calendar now?
    I had Mac's for 15 years and even subscribed to MobileMe
    If they're dumping my 2 year old bit of kit it's a poor show, I will keep it going as it still does a job for me, it's a shame I'll may have to move away from apple and I guess iTunes too.

    That I know I've read that but unless someone comes up with a work around, before then, I'll move to google or yahoo calendars.
    I'm Mac through and through, a total fan but like alot of people these day I'm having to cut back, yes it's nice I'm not paying the mobileme sub anymore but I can't justify buying a new ipod or stretching to an iphone.
    Maybe I having to grow away from Apple.

  • HT1353 Can I download i OS 5 onto my 2nd generation iPod touch? I would like it to link with iCloud from my iPad 2 for music. Is that possible please?

    Can I download i OS 5 onto my 2nd generation iPod touch? Is it possible to get my iPad music via iCloud onto the iPod 2nd generation? If yes, please can you tell me how? Thanks

    You can download purchases from itunes as long as they still carry them.  they may not be available forever.
    All of your music and everything esle should be on your computer and backed up with your regular backup copy of your computer.
    You can download most itunes purchases on ipad, ipod touch and iphone.
    I see no reason to have an ipod and an iphone.
    If your ipad/iphone/ipod crash you would have to restore using itunes on your computer.
    I would not reccommend using an iphone ipod/ipad without a computer. 

  • Downloading HD videos on a 2nd gen. iPod Touch?

    Hey guys!
    I'm having some difficulty downloading some newer HD videos on my 2nd gen. iPod touch (Legend of Korra episodes if you must know). Two of them aren't downloaded on, one of them I have no clue why, and the other "The Voice in the Night", cannot be played on the iPod (even though the other ones can). I'm wondering if I can change the video so I can download it onto my iPod without buying it again.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    The other episode is "The Revelation", and it just won't download for no reason (iTunes doesn't notify me that it won't either).

    Should work fine, it is a USB power adaptor.

  • Movies converted for AppleTV won't sync to 2nd gen iPod touch with iTunes 8

    I have about 40 movies that I converted to "Apple TV" format with Quicktime Pro. They all play fine on my Apple TV. But only one of them will sync with my new 2nd gen iPod touch... and that one was converted by someone else for me to Apple TV with iSquint!
    iTunes tells me the remaining videos cannot be played on this iPod. ***? They play in iTunes, they play on the Apple TV... what's the difference with the iPod?
    So now I'm having to completely reconvert all my movies to iPod format with the function in iTunes 8 "Create iPod or iPhone version" but this is PAINFULLY SLOW!!! One video on my brand new 3.06Ghz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo took FOUR HOURS
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone else find a faster way to fix it???
    HELP!!

    It just does.
    You can do it quicker using other tools.
    For instance I have a hardware device called Turbo.264 which shifts the conversion off the computer and is much quicker.
    You can read all about it here :-
