IPod 2nd gen on iOS 4.2.1 has no sound or wifi

Hi, I have an iPod touch 2nd gen on iOS 4.2.1 which has the following problems
1) sound does not play with or without headphones plugged in
2) if I try to play a song in iTunes it tries to play for one second then pauses and returns back to the playlist
3) games crash
4) no wifi routers appear (with or without hidden SSIDs, regardless of encryption on or off)
I've tried downgrading to iOS 4.1 and tried resetting, dfu, iTunes reset as a new iPod etc but no joy!
I also tried going back to iOS 2.2.1 which apparently is the most stable but that errored in iTunes
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Is this the wifi proble:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

  • Error -1 while updating iPod 2nd Gen to iOS 2.2 to 4.2

    Hi All,
    I had 2nd gen ipod touch and it had some touch screen problem. I went to apple and paid 99$ for replacement as my ipod touch was out of warranty.
    Came home plugged in the touch, itunes asked me to update to iOS 4.2. Currently I am having iOS 2.2 on the touch.
    When I tried to update, itunes downloaded the file, extracted it and threw me an error "ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)"
    I have tried all the steps found on apple sites but nothing seems to be working for me
    I tried steps like, updating itunes to latest version, Mac OS updates, restarting...
    uninstalling the s/w which are used to jailbreak some of my prev ios devices etc.,
    please help me
    Regards
    -Hari

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. That seems to be your case. ake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Update iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem updating my iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2. When I connect it to iTunes (version 9.2.1 as I'm still on OS 4.11) and click "Update" it returns an error message saying "This iTunes version is the latest version (9.2.1)" and no update will happen.
    I'm willing to believe this is due to the fact that I'm using Tiger, but surely Apple would want even users of older versions of their software and hardware to update their stuff, wouldn't they? Anyway, I hope there is a workaround for this, as I'm very keen on starting to use Airplay.
    Thx in advance for your help!

    "So basically I need to buy a new computer (as I'm pretty sure my G5 cannot be upgraded to Snow Leopard) in order to update my iPod touch to the latest iOS version?"
    No. Can your computer not handle Leopard?
    "That seems a bit over the top, doesn't it?"
    NO. Quite normal that newer products require newer software. Happens constantly across the entire industry.
    " And essentially this means that Apple is withholding the benefits of iOS 4.2 from what I believe to be a substantial group of Tiger users. Doesn't seem fair, does it?"
    Not even a little unfair at all. It is completely and totally normal, average, everyday.
    You want the latest technology and features, you need the latest equipment and software. Nothing the slightest bit unusual about this.
