I need help with my Ipod touch 2nd gen!

I was upgrading my ipod and it went through the whole thing, then just as it was about to be done, there was an error and my ipod has been stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen ever since. I have tried to restore it multiple times, but it keeps having an 3194 error, but my itunes is up to date and i dont know what to do anymore.

  • I need help diagnosing my iPod Touch 2nd Gen

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen (8 gig) that I won from work over a year ago. There is no warranty and I was hoping to get this fixed myself, if at all possible.
    Last weekend I was visiting my parents house in pretty hot weather. I meant to take the iPod out and put it int my pocket, but had forgotten it, of all places, on the dashboard of the car.
    I can imagine it got way over 100 degrees and it was there for at least 3 hours time.
    After that incident the iPod would not turn on. When pressing the top power button, the Apple logo would appear, but after a few minutes it would shut itself off. The normal "on" button in the bottom middle had no effect at all on it.
    When I finally got home I tried doing all the steps I was able to do on my own.  Restore, reset, recharged…. ect.
    The current status is that the iPod works great…. when plugged into syncing mode from my Mac at home. When disconnected though, it will only stay on for about a minute before shutting itself off and never being able to show more than the Apple logo when pressing the top power button. 
    I have an external recharger that connects directly to a wall socket that also will not let the iPod stay on. Just seems to work when synced to my Mac. Battery power says it is fully charged.
    Very long explanation but I was wondering if anyone has run into this themselves, and if so what did you do to fix this? I am wanting to believe it is a dead battery but wanted some insight from others before taking any action.
    Thanks all for reading this.

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

  • Help With Faulty iPod Touch 2nd Gen

    I recently brought a ipod toch 2nd gen 16gb model and 2-3 days later the screen just died i guess i took it to a apple retail store in manchester trafford centre U.K and they told me that there is no power going to the screen well it was totally dead and they said ring up and arrange a appointment and they can then replace it there and then for me or fix it if it can be , they would have done it but i was a came late 10 minutes before it closes down and the paper work also needed to be done. So does that mean that i wont have to wait and they will replace it for me without me waiting a awfull long time i have 1 year warranty it expires on the 15th October 2009 , so my point is will they replace it there and then.

    If you only had it for 2-3 days, demand a new one not a fix for that one. They should replace it on the spot. Make sure and bring your packaging and all accessories that came with your 2g touch so they have no excuse not to give you a new one.

  • Need help with my ipod touch 4th gen

    My name is whitney last year i bought a ipod touch 4th gen  . And everything was working fine until i had recently updated it to ios 5.0.1 .  Ihave internet connection and can view the browser but  when i try to view the app store it either keeps loading the page, or it says  cannot connect to itunes store or  the browser has timed out . I am getting very frustrated about this as last month my ipod was working fine with everything until i had updated it and  had to restore it and the problem still persists. And it wont let me verify my icloud account either it also times out and says verfification failed . If anyone out there can help me out i would appreciate it .

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    anyone can help? greatly appreciated!!

  • I need to downgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen Mc model back to 3.1.3 because that is what my default firmware was when i first bought it. iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod, is there a way maybe if apple can reset my ipod touch back to 3.1.3?

    is there a way if apple can reset my ipod touch 2nd gen MC model back to 3.1.3? because iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod and i cant deal with also i cannot afford a new ipod at the moment. also 3.1.3 was my default iOS when i first activated my ipod touch. I bought it in December in 2009

    "You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
    This will not work..
    A restore will always install the latest available software.
    Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

  • I need help with my ipod touch 4th generation??

    Okay I have an ipod touch 4th gen and it is permanently disabled and I put it in restore mode connect it to
    the computer and close to the end of the recovery it just turns on and messes up the recovery. I've tried
    everything I know to do to fix it and it won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this. Also it is dented on the
    back, maybe something inside got messed up and is making it do this. i just need to know how to fix this.
    Whether it be opening it up and replacing some parts or what.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Im having problems with my iPod Touch 2nd gen. It's disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. But when I do that, iTunes wont detect the iPod.I have put the iPod in USB- mode, and by that I mean I have tried connecting with holding the home button Help?

    It's disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. But when I do that, iTunes wont detect the iPod.I have put the iPod in USB- mode, and by that I mean I have tried connecting with holding the home button when connecting the USB. Help?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I need help with my Ipod touch 4th restoring to factory settings

    I have posted several posting because I need help but somehow everybody seems to ignore the subject or they just don't want to go there. I wonder why.
    Anyways, I'm in critical bind. I still have iTune 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6. However, when I try to synch my Ipod to my Mac I get a message that I need to restore my Ipod to factory settings.
    The thing that I'd like to know if I restore to factory settings if I could select which verions iTune I could select. I have 10.7 installed and also have a copy in TM.
    I don't want to use iTune V.11

    Ana
    I appreciate your input, but you still haven't told me how to restore the iPod w/o getting V. 11. So far for what I read it says that if I choose to restore back to factory settings that it will install the latest version of iTune. Is there any way that I can overide this? According to you, it sounds like I could but still you haven't share with me how to do it
    Illlaass
    Here is the thing I have iTune 10 installed but when I tried to synch the iPod is when I get the message that I have to restore it to the factory setting. I'm willing to go along with it provided that I can select iTune 10.7. I have it installed in my backups.

  • I need help with my ipod touch not syncin with my laptop

    my ipod touch does not show up  on itunes(devises)or charge on my laptop.i have windows 8 and this sight doesnt have a resolution for windows 8.it shows up on my file explorer(it has a ! next to it and says a program i downloaded is not allowing or resticting my ipod  from being reconized on my laptop.can some1 plz help me its drivn me crazy and ive tryd all the other solutions and none of it works.i have too charge it on my xbox and can not download any movies or music.Tnx!

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    What is says for Win 7 also applies t Win8.
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Also, connect to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod computer problem.
