My Mom has an ipod Touch 2nd gen. Working fine one night. Put on charger; next day dead. 'Ive researched and tried everything. Fully charged. Let sit for 5 months to run the charge out. Tap it firmly against padded surface. Press and hold buttons for x amount of time. Itunes won't recognize. Deader than a door nail. What can I do?

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1386 ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync with Windows 8 laptop

Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop? It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Have you:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

HT1923 My iPod touch 2nd gen couldn't sync with itunes an unknown error occured then I tried shutting it off and now it won't turn on or off

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen When I plug it into the computer it says iPod can not sync because of an uniknown Error 0XE8000065. I tried turning it off but it seems frozen on a black screen. Now it won't turn on or off.

Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

Hi,
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

Sounds like Apps have been restricted. Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch. Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
Please help! This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
Thanks,
Carl

Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?

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.

IOS5 on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

Will it ever happen, or is my iPod Touch 2nd Gen now just a useless hunk of junk that won't work with modern apps, which all seem to need iOS5?

Guys like you crack me up, really....
I mean c'mon... Do you really expect Apple or any other company to spend money to support obsolete technology? Do you think that Ford, GM, or any car makers still have parts for cars made in the 1920's? Its the same thing with personal electronics with one HUGE exception: Personal electronics become obsolete much, much faster than cars do.
And what's really sad is that it is obvious to the most casual observer than guys like you don't have the time or the inclination to actually do any research before you whip out the plastic, and its also obvious that because you don't have the tiniest inkling as to how quickly technology changes, you get all bent out of shape when you finally realize that you are behind everyone else.
Oh, and while we are talking about obsolete stuff, I have a 30gig 5th gen iPod Video, a 2nd gen Touch and a 30 gig Zune, all of which I resurrected from the dead. They all work fine and not one is currently supported by their manufacturers.
I also have a 32 gig 4th Gen Touch and an iPhone 4. The 30 gig iPod gets used in my truck, I use the Zune when I ride my Harley Sportster so I can listen to FM radio when I want to, the 32 gig Touch goes with my touring trike 'cause I use a Griffin FM transmitter to stream through the bike's FM stereo, and I use the iPhone for making phone calls..
Now really, isn't technology, even if it is obsolete, just freakin' wonderful?

Why is my wifi on my ipod touch 2nd gen not working?

Can someone help with the wifi on my ipod touch 2nd Gen? Yesterday it suddenly stopped connecting to anything wifi. No settings were changed. The only thing I did was go to itunes for the first time in well, forever. I always use it on my computer to go in itunes, not my ipod. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could still get on Safari after that but I don't really remember. At some point in the evening it stopped connecting. I can't get on Safari, my mail won't refresh, it would connect to the app store, nothing. Sometimes a message does pop up saying there was a problem connecting to the server. I can't figure this out, internet on my computer is running perfectly fine. My ipod wifi is on, airplane mode off. When I go into my settings it shows my network and that it's connected. I haven't connected it or synced it to the new itunes. I actually haven't downloaded the update yet. Ipod is up to date though without the new sync. Can anyone help me out? I'm very confused.
Thanks

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. apps that will not download, higher ios version needed

I have an ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. I recently tried to download some apps and received a message that said I need a higher ios version (like 4.3 or higher). I know there used to be apps that worked before but I deleted them. When I tried to re-download them again they say they won't work. Options?
Thanks

Import the older versions to the iTunes library from your computer or a backup of it, or buy a newer device, or give up.

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)
