Ipod touch 2nd ge keeps going black and locking itself whats going on?

Okay so I'm browsing my apps or listening to music and all of a sudden *click* nothing screens black...odd. So I press the power button and it lights up and says "slide to unlock." So I do it and *click* black. "sigh" Power screen lights up I slide to unlock and it says "slide to power down."     ???? Press cancel and I slide to unock. AGAIN and screen keeps flashing "slide to unlock and before I can even move my thumb it goes black again and then after a few times of that it stays on. So whats going on? It syncs up to iTunes and eveything just like confusing me and being a pain in the tucas?

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Call Apple Care.   You are still under warranty.  You also have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your iPod with no questions asked. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. 

  • HT1430 i recieved an ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now its stuck on a screen showing an adaptor with itunes music symbol on it. I do not know where to go from here.

    I recieved an apple ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now it is stuck on a screen with an adaptor showing with the itunes music symbol at the top of the screen.

    Restore...
    Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen 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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

    my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download

    Are you  sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

  • The time on my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) keeps changing

    I live in Columbus, OH, so the time on my iPod Touch should be 1:19 am (as of right now.) The time was fine before, but one day I noticed that it was an hour late. So I went to setting>general>date&time on my ipod touch to change it. The time zone said New York, so I switched it back to Columbus, OH. I then set the time back one hour to the correct time. But ever since then, the time zone and time go right back to New York, and the time is one hour ahead. Either I plug it into the computer and it changes (the computer has the right time), or when I open an application on my iPod Touch, the time changes back. And when I cut it off, it does this. Why won't the correct time stay?

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen got too hot and now it won't turn on

  • Will the replacement ipod touch 2nd generation come with headphones and a usb cord

    when i replace my ipod touch will it come with headphones and a usb cable

    Assuming it was a replacement request via Apple, no you will not.  It will just be the iPod unit itself.  You should have held onto the USB cable and headphones.

  • Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer usable? Is this what is store for all Apple products?

    I am very disheartened with Apple.  I have loved the iPod touchs up until now.  It seems the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer download apps that work on the 4.2.1 iOS.  I was just selling my wife on Apple products and now this has shut her and I down on all Apple products.  I hope I am wrong but is Apple partaking in planned obsolesence? If so, planned obsolesence is not marketing and I will be looking at other brands when it comes to electronic devices.  If not, how do you download apps for an iPod touch 2nd gen running a max iOS of 4.2.1?  Thank you.   

    Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store.  It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices.  And you can download them right to your ios device.  Many are free.
    Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
    Be sure to keep backups of older software.  Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

  • I've just updated iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 5 and it keeps crashing

    It just keeps going back to the Apple logo on the black screen and restarts.
    This can happen before any apps have been loaded, or when, it's quite indiscriminate.
    This renders my iPod a paperweight - please help.

    -Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - You may have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore
    - Also, if you can't fully turn the iPod off (that is required to place the iPod in recovery mode), let the batter fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset and restore again.

  • My iPod Touch 2nd gen keeps freezing up, how can I fix this? It will freeze for like a minute, then it goes back to normal, then in a few minutes it does it again.

    Question says it all.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    CAUTION
    Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to iTunes. See:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
