Ipod touch 2g not used for months, battery drained and taking way too long to charge

I had an ipod touch 2g that got wet a couple of months ago. They were inside a jacket pocket when the rain started pouring. After that, the screen only turn white when turned on. I just had the LCD replaced, but since i havent used it in months, the battery has been drained. I plugged it into my PC to charge for a couple of hours already, but its still not enough. The lowbatt icon is there, but iTunes still doesnt recognize it despite being plugged in for a few hours already.
Does it really take this long to charge an ipod touch that has been completely drained and not used for months? I'm worried there might be other problems besides the LCD when it got wet before. Should I have it checked again for battery charging problems? Or am i just being impatient?

I tried charging it through the adapter, still got the same problem. So i had it checked again and the battery apparently also needed to be replaced. Haven't had any problems with it since then!

I verified my email but ipod touch says not verified, I go to redo and its says already verified but Itunes still shows it needs to be verified

I verified my email but ipod touch says not verified, I go to redo and its says already verified but Itunes still shows it needs to be verified. I was in the process of creating a new Apple ID for my touch.

Please go to Settings>Itunes and App Store and log out of your Apple id and right back in again. See if this doesn't resolve this issue.

It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

My ipod touch is not being recognized by my computer and gives no feedback when I connect it to my pc

Hi... I really need some help from you guys. My ipod touch is not responding whenever I connect it to my PC. It gives no feedback. The battery image that is shown when I charge my ipod touch doesn't show up unlike if I charge it using the wall charger. I have used different kinds of ports and I ended up with similar things. No response! . However, I can still use my ipod and play music with it. The only problem is its syncing ability is gone. I have only used it for a year now and the warranty that came with it is expired. I hope I can get a good answer from you guys. ThanKs!!!

I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

Just upgraded to ios 6 and newest itunes (first time for 4g ipod touch I've had for years). After the restore, it no longer syncs when plugged in. My music is in itunes, but won't sync to my ipod.

Please help. I finally gave in to updating software because my apps wouldn't update without io5. I ensured all of my music and apps and pictures were listed on my iTunes so that when it restored it would all sync back. Well, my ipod is restored, and my pictures are moved over, but my apps are not. I guess I can go and re-install individually, but what is the purpose of having them on iTunes?? Also, NONE of my music is on my ipod and there does not seem to be a way to move it from iTunes.
Also, at the top right of iTunes where it has the spots for Library and iPod Touch. If I click on the iPod, the icon just disappears! iTunes used to have a column on the left side that listed my ipod and I could move things to it (like my music). Is this how the new version is or am I just missing something?
I am so frustrated right now after spending hours....

Ignore. I figured it out:)

Ipod Touch will not start up. Smells bad and feels hot.

I connected my Ipod Touch to a computer without ITunes installed just to charge it. Suddenly, my Ipod turned off and now feels warm and smells strange.

Hi,
Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod? Press/hold the home and sleep/wake buttons down until the Apple logo appears.
Hope this helps!

SELECT statement using XML data taking way too long.

Hi all, I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have an issue which I find hard to describe. The server that I am using contains two test databases which are (supposed to be) identical. They both have tables named EVENTS with identical fields. I am using XML data to query and update data to this table.
When I run the SELECT in one database, against the EVENTS table it takes a long time. The longest I've kept it running is 2:30 minutes. When I run it against the EVENTS table in the other database the results are almost instantaneous. I've created a test
query to duplicate this behavior:
declare @ValidXMLInput xmlset @ValidXMLInput = '<EVENTS>
<EVENT EID="8077" EDATE="2014-07-20 10:15"
USERID="GTJ789" LOCID="7016" STATE="0" />
</EVENTS>'
SELECT Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)'),Col.value('@STATE','INT')
FROM @ValidXMLInput.nodes('//EVENTS/EVENT') Tab(Col)
left join tblEvents on
tblEvents.EvIdNum=Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)') And
tblEvents.EvDate=Col.value('@EDATE','DATETIME') And
tblEvents.UserId=Col.value('@USERID','VARCHAR(8)') And
tblEvents.EvLocId=Col.value('@LOCID','VARCHAR(8)')
where tblEvents.EvIdNum Is Null
Basically, the above query returns all rows in the XML table that are not in the database table. The results are then passed on to other statements.The columns in the join are key fields for tblEvents and have a PK index for both tables (in each db).
Now the issue that I am having. When I use an EID in the XML data of any other value (as presented in the example above), such as '3477' the query runs fast on both databases; however, when I specifically use an EID of '8077' then the query slows down to
a point where it takes more than 2:30 minutes (after which I cancel the execution). This only happens with one of the databases.
For testing purposes I've created an XML structure with only one item. Both tables have approximate 111 million records. One table contains about 900K records with an EID of 8077. The other table contains about 930K records with this EID. There aren't many
differences in the data. The records with the EID of 8077 (the slow one) are for different dates, users and locations. I should also mention that although the data presented here for EID consists of number, provisions exist where the number may be prefixed
by a letter; hence the varchar designation.
My question to you all is: How can I start troubleshooting this issue? Should I be looking at indexes?
I had some doubt about this because the query is fast for other EIDs. Why would it get "stuck" with this particular one?
Any troubleshooting advice is welcomed. Thanks! Saga
Insanity is the prelude to discovery

Some thoughts:
Is there a hardware difference between the two databases ? E.g. are they on the same disk (array) ?
Is there anything else running on your server besides your SQL instance ?
Do you see spikes in I/O, CPU or both ?
Maybe there is locking on one DB that's not happening in the other.
You should check indexes and statistics plus compare estimated execution plan between the two DBs.
