I have a 2nd generation iPod that only displays an image of the cord, and an arrow to connect to iTunes. I've done this and it says it needs to be restored. Tried that but I get an error: 1611. Any suggestions?

I have a 2nd generation iPod that won't do anything but display the Apple logo for a brief second then an image of the cord suggesting it should be connected to iTunes. I tried to restore it via iTunes but I get an Error: 1611. It does nothing else. I tried turning off using both buttons...nothing. Any suggestions?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

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.

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1. When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?

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.

I have a 2nd generation iPod....I have switch on the OFF position and it will periodically turn on (thus draining the battery) by itself. How can I fix this?

I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle. Recently, after I turn switch to OFF position, it will turn on (green light flicks on) by itself periodically and obviously battery gets drained. How can I fix this?

I don't know of a way to fix an issue with the switch, if it's a hardware issue. You can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, to see if there's some software glitch.
However, I often leave my shuffle with the power swtich in the ON position. When you are not playing music, the shuffle goes into a "sleep" mode after about a minute. You'll notice that you need to press the Play button twice to get it to play again; the first press wakes it up. In my day-to-day experience, I don't notice any difference in battery life between the shuffle being OFF and ON (and not playing), even if I leave it ON overnight. And keeping it ON avoids needing to constantly move the tiny swtich, and saves it from wear and tear.
So, you might try just keeping the power swtich in the ON position, and pausing playback to "turn it OFF."

I have a 2nd generation IPOD TOUCH How can I upgrade the software so I can use newer apps

After so many years, all technology becomes obsolete. For mobile devices this cycle is even quicker. That iPod is now 5 years old and there have been many hardware advancements since then.

You will not lose your Apps. They can be reloaded onto your new iPod Touch.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Hello there! I have a 2nd generation Ipod and right now I cannot use a lot of app because of its old software. Is there a way to solve it?

Only by purchasing a newer model iPod.
To more easily find compatible apps for your 2G
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete songs (Delete in gray)?

I have two 2nd generation iPods and iTunes will no longer let me delete music from either one. If I select a song, "Delete" is gray in the menu and cannot be selected. What's happened? New iTunes not compatible?

In order to manually remove music from the iPod via iTunes, you need to have the Manually manage music and videos option checked from under each iPod's Summary tab.
See this article for more details.

What does this mean: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"? I tried reinstalling, but I get an error message saying something about permission to launch services.
