IPod touch 2g Crashes

Hi I have had my iPod touch for 2 years with out apple care and for some reason every 5 minutes my iPod touch would flash a white screen and then just die. I know apple cant do anything because I am out warrenty =( any suggestions?

Yep. That is exactly what I am thinking and I am certain that it is. You do have several Options at this point.
1. Take it to an Apple Store for service
2. Send it out to an independent repair shop which are all over the internet
3. Or buy the right battery and install it yourself (This one is a tough one and do not recommend it unless you are extremely comfortable doing so. Several websites show how to do this job).

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

    I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

    This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
    It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
    I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.

    My iPod touch keeps crashing.  Apps, Camera, settings. Everything. It just started after I installed the last update. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Restarts are not helping.

    Try restoring the iPod, first using a backup and if that doesn't help then as a new device.

  • 1st Generation Ipod touch  keeps crashing/going into stand by mode 3.1.3

    I have a 1st generation ipod touch that I recently restored to the newest firmware 3.1.3. My problem is that after this restore and subsequent restore attempts is that the device keeps clicking off to a black screen when I use wifi or transition from different desktop screens. The device does not completely crash as once the screen goes black I can hit the home button an slide to unlock. I have found that if I disable wifi this problem does not occur. I have tried to both reset and restore with no success. Any suggestions or ideas?

    If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing - can't open any apps

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that is barely over a year old.  About a week before the warranty expired, the power button quit working.  I arranged to send it in for repair but was hesitant because when I sent my nano in, I received a refurbished one that quit working properly a few weeks after the 90 day warranty expired.  I really didn't want to get a refurbished Touch so I decided to live the problem.
    Now, suddenly, after working fine all day, all my apps keep crashing - I can't even use the settings app to try and activate the assistive touch (I read that this might help me resolve my problem).
    Since the power button is broken, is there anyway to do a reset? 
    As an aside, ths problem with the power button breaking seems to be widespread.  It really ticks me off to spend a few hundred dollars on an item only to have it break within a year.  I think there should be a recall and Apple should replace the obviously defective iPod Touch with brand new ones. 

    Ended up plugging it into itunes where I updated to the newest version.  After about 1/2 an hour of doing all the updating, install and synch, it is working fine.
    I'm still frustrated about the broken power button.  I am going to try to collect data on this issue just to show apple it's a problem they need to address.

  • IPod touch Mail crash

    Im having the exact same problem.. everytime i try to look at mail it crashes... and then when i try to delete my account info and try again... it crashes again... so i go back into mail under settings and all my info is still there... is there anyway to solve this

  • After iOS 4 update on iPod Touch, iTunes crashes when iPod is connected.

    I just updated my iPod from 3.1.3 to iOS 4, and after all of that, when I plug in my iPod Touch 2G [version 4.0 (8A293)] to my laptop, iTunes crashes. A window pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working," and then iTunes closes automatically. When I do not already have iTunes open and I connect my iPod, iTunes will open and then close a few seconds later with the same pop up box.
    I tried seeing if it was a syncing or connecting issue, so I turned off automatic syncing and the problem still exists. Therefore, I think it is a connection issue.
    *Note: When I was updating to iOS 4, I left and came back to my computer with it running on idle. Could that have had an effect? If so, how can I just redo everything?
    **Another note that may be helpful is that while I do still have all of my music and videos in iTunes (which works totally fine with no iPod attached), the videos and music is NOT on my iPod. But, my apps all work fine on my iPod.
    I would really appreciate any sort of help I could get for this problem. I was really looking forward to the OS update, but now I am disappointed because of this major problem.
    THANK YOU for your help!

    I would try moving the existing iPod backup file to a safe locations and let iTunes make a whole new one.  The location of of the backup file is:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • IPod touch random crashing

    I just upgraded from a 3G 40GB iPod to a brand spankin' new 16Gb iPod touch, and I'm noticing some random weirdness with it. First a few details:
    *- At this moment I have 969 songs, 1 video, and 4 photos loaded on my iPod touch, leaving 3.9GB free.*
    *- I bought the iPod last Sunday, and it came loaded with firmware 1.1.1.*
    *- This morning I updated the iPod to firmware 1.1.2 with no issues.*
    Here's what I've noticed so far:
    a) If you create a new playlist directly on the ipod itself (using the On The Go list), it sometimes randomly crashes and resets back to the home screen. I'll be sorting the music list by artist name, and it usually happens when I tap on their name, followed by the name of the album/CD. One time when this happened I noticed that the name of a song was "blinking" (best way I can describe it). The text was "blinking" left and right, followed by the ipod resetting itself back to the home screen.
    b) I've noticed that after a while, tracks that were were encoded directly from a CD with Apple Lossless Compression lose the ability to seek using the seek bar (tap once on the screen while a song is playing to display it). The pointer on the bar will move to the desired location, but the song keeps playing at it's present location. Tapping the last track/next track arrows doesn't do anything either (you'd need to tap them twice). Doing a reset by holding down the power button on the top of the player and sliding the slider fixes it for a short while. I haven't tried this yet with the 1.1.2 firmware installed, so I don't know if this particular bug has been squashed.
    c) I've had it crash once while selecting a song from the artists playlist. Hasn't happened again yet since updating to 1.1.2.
    d) I have had random crashes using the youTube feature. I haven't tried it yet with firmware 1.1.2 though, so I do not know if this bug has been fixed yet either.
    Overall I like the iPod touch. I like the features it has and it's a nice replacement to my dead 3G iPod. What I'm not liking is now unrefined the firmware seems to be. Everything I'm seeing points to a firmware problem Vs. a hardware problem.
    I would greatly appreciate it if someone from Apple's ipod dev team would look into the issue. I do not want or need a personalized reply; rather think of this posting as a bug report. I have been allowing iTunes to send crash reports, but I have no way of knowing if this exact error is being reported.

    Well, on my way home today I was using my iPod in my car (I have it directly connected to my stereo system using a Belkin Auto Kit (which, by the way works fine with the iPod Touch)), and I noticed something else.
    Initially I thought the issue with the seek bar not working was limited to songs I had ripped from CD's in my collection using ALC compression. It looks like it's also affecting songs I have downloaded from the iTunes store too.
    I tapped the rewind button (the "|<<" button), and it wouldn't rewind the song back to the beginning. So I tapped it again, and it went to the previous song. I happened to be pulling into my driveway so I stopped the car, picked up the iPod and started playing with it. Sure enough the problem came back. I tried seeking using the slider. No go. the "|<<" and ">>|" buttons weren't working right again either.
    I unplugged the iPod from the auto adapter and gave it another go. Same issue.
    That was about 2 hours ago. I just tried using the iPod a few minutes ago and it's still doing it.
    I just did a soft reset a moment ago by holding down the power button and then powering down the iPod. It's working fine again.
    In four years I think the most I ever reset my older 3G 40GB iPod was around 8 to 10 times TOPS. I'm well past that with the iPod touch, and I haven't owned it for more than a week.
    I think Safari has crashed on me once or twice, but to be honest I cut that app a lot of slack. There's a lot of badly designed web sites out there that have even crashed & locked up my Palm Treo 700WX phone to the point I needed to do a reset on it. I'm being a bit more critical over the issues I'm finding because they're part of the basic functionality of the device.
    Simply put, the issues I'm experiencing are small and annoying, but they should have been caught before release. Granted things sometimes slip through the cracks, but if you consider just how visible the issue is, it's even more surprising that it wasn't caught in testing (hopefully it was tested before release?......).
