IPod Touch 2nd Gen borked after failed OS update in iTunes

My iTouch was working fine with my PC (Windows 7 64bit) and iTunes (9.1.1.12).
I was upgrading the OS on my iTouch 2nd gen to the latest version (3.1.3???) via iTunes and the update failed after ~5 mins. The iTouch will now no longer turn on, I have tried resetting (hold sleep and power) but nothing I do can get the iTouch to power on.
Connecting to windows I get "Unknown USB device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
Updating the USB device driver to the apple driver usbaapl64.inf I get "This device cannot start".
any advice would be appreciated.

I have received a new iTouch in the post , worked fine with OS 2.1.2.
I need to update to OS3 so I installed iTunes on a different computer (laptop) with Windows 7 (32 bit) ... and ... the same thing happened. Update ends with notification of a device in restore mode, restore fails twice, and on the second time the PC no longer recognises to iTouch and can't install the drivers, the iTouch itself will no longer turn on.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen. / iOS 4.2 update, NO AirPlay!!!

I updated my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. this morning to iOS 4.2, and found that there is no AirPlay icon in ANY of my media apps (including the native players). There is also NO "text search" in Safari. I checked the "About" section on my Touch and it says I am indeed running 4.2. What gives??? Did 2nd Gen. users get left out again???

I have 2 second generation iPod Touches and they both have Airplay.
Not sure what you have for Airplay?
Apple TV?
Airport Express?
or some type of compatible powered speakers that can use Airplay?
You need to have on of the above for the Airplay to show up I believe but not positive.
I have 3 Airport Expresses hooked up to 3 different stereos throughout the house and the garage.
When I open up my playlists and choose a song to play, then I am given a choice of what Airport Express I want to play to after hitting the Airplay button on the right of the volume bar.
So, mine works.
Not sure why yours isn't.

Can you get an ipod touch 2nd gen working after a short circuit?

I was replacing the screen on my 2nd gen iPod touch, and when I was trying to lift the screen (not the glass, the display) out I accidentally and stupidly touched two chips (I think)on the board in the bottom left (the top two of the set of three brown and silver ones) together with a metal ended screwdriver, it made a quiet high pitched noise and then I couldn't turn on the display ( by pressing the lock button) , I would've turned the iPod off before hand but the touchscreen didn't work at all so I couldn't and looking back at it I really should've just waited until the battery died. But I didn't :(. Please help.

thanks, i actually checked it this morning and it was coming on to the low battery connect to power screen but the screen looked all messed up, i dont know if this was because of the short circuit or because of when i tried to take the screen out after i had short circuited it, either way i have to replace it anyway as it already had dead pixels, the reason i as this is because i dont know wether the other screen will work normally if i put it in, i dont want to fit it to find out it doesnt work.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen. sync after restore

Authorized new hard drive for iTunes. Did backup then restored from back up, transferred previously purchased library to iPod Touch. Following restore, all purchased music, downloaded CDs AND games remained on the iPod Touch. Good so far.....then tried to sync device so all downloaded CDs would go out to the iTunes library, but got the message "iPod Touch is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase his iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library." Don't want to lose the games and downloaded CD songs but sounds like that will happen if I click "Erase and Sync". Any suggestions on how to keep the games, etc.? Should I just ignore the message? Will that cause other problems? Thanks!

- Transfer non-iTune purchassed muic to the computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- After everthing is on the "new" computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iod from that backup.

My iPod touch 2nd gen. won't show up on my iTunes but it shows up on my computer

I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch and I havent loaded songs for it or updated its software in a long time and I tried to do that today and my iPod won't show up on iTunes, but it shows on my computer. Any suggestions?

Ipod touch 2nd gen Still camera fail??

So i have this crappy computer as a temp while my better one is getting fixed. I plug in my ITouch and nothing happens.... it doesn't charge.... it does nothing....except, on the computer screen it says that the new hardware is being installed. I wait and then it says fail to install still camera and i can't connect my ITouch to my computer... though i just tried it a couple times and it says "still camera installed successfully" then 2 minutes later it says the same as above... any one else have this problem?? or is it just this sad computer?
P.S. I hate Vista....let that be known ^^

Those KB articles probably won't help. I have the same problem with my 4G iPod and my XP computer. I was on the phone for two hours today with Tech Support. They couldn't solve the problem but promised to get back to me in a few days. Just for diagnosis: open up Device Manager > Scanner and Cameras (or similar in Vista) with the iPod connected. Do you have the Digital Still Camera listed with an "!"? If so, read the error. Is it Code 38? If so, it's the same problem I have. While you are there, you could try to Uninstall the Still Camera and then do a scan for new hardware to reinstall it. Didn't work for me, but perhaps it will for you.

IPod Touch 4th gen froze after new Facebook update...

My iPod 4th gen was purchased last Christmas. I don't have a computer atm so I originally hooked it up to a friend's computer to get it going. Last night I went to update my FB app, and upon starting the app it would not load. As instructed by FB I deleted the app and reinstalled. This caused the iPod to freeze completely. I restarted it (Power + Home) and then it wouldn't load past the Apple logo. It actually froze on the logo startup screen. Resetting at this point resulted in the same occurrence. After leaving it alone for a while it finally turned off, but now when trying to turn it back on it is asking to connect to iTunes like when I first bought it. As I said before, I don't have a computer right now so I haven't connected to iTunes since I got it. Have I just successfully screwed myself and lost everything? Will I be able to recover anything upon connecting to iTunes? Or am I prematurely freaking out? Any help is MUCH appreciated!

U will have to c when u get your on iTunes that happen to me and I freaked out and it shut off and went back to normal when I turn it back on mine didn't say iTunes again so just try to get it om iTunes and c..

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.

After updating my ipod touch 2nd gen, almost all my apps won't sync

My daughters each have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and after they both updated their iPod touches, they could no longer sync or install most of theie apps they'v ehad for years. What do we do now since they can no longer place apps on their ipod touches?

After upgrading iPod Touch 2nd gen some apps sync over and others do not

After upgrading my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to OS 3, skype and TextFree Unlimited sync over, but 9-Toolbox, Gas Cubby Lite, fring and TooDoo do not. They show up as installed in iTunes, but do not sync onto my iPod Touch. Is this because the apps themselves have not been updated to work on OS 3, or could there be a syncing problem?

OK..last post on this item. I found this post by ipodtouchuder1517 that explains how to move your icons around, ie page 2 to 3, etc
All is well again and I shall now resume checking out the new features my $10 purchased!
Page 18 of the manual:
"Customizing the Home Screen
You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock
icons along the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home
screens.
Rearrange icons:
1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.
3 Press the Home button to save your arrangement. "

Nike + app missing on iPod touch (2nd gen) after restore

Memory errors prompted a wipe and restore of my 32GB iPod touch (2nd gen) system. The restore and subsequent reapplication of the 3.x upgrade produced a system without Nike+ software.
I've had considerable issues with the reliability and accuracy of the software in the past, but now it simply isn't there.
Has anyone else seen this and does anyone know how to restore that application? (Since it is not available in the app store.)
Thx

Well, i have the same problem, but when i go to settings the nike app it just doesn't appear, so, i'm not able to turn it on. Is there any other way to download the nike app?

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

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

IPod Touch (2nd gen) not recognized by computer and iTunes

When I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, running Windows 7, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my iPod. Everything worked before with Vista.
When I plug the iPod into the computer the iPod does turn on put the battery doesn't charge and the iPod does not show on the Device Manager.
I have gone through and uninstalled and the reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application support. With no positive result. In fact I have done it twice.
In going back to make sure everything had installed I have noticed several things.
The Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes folders and Common Files are located in Program Files(x86) There are also copies of the Bonjour, iPod, Common Files, and iTunes folders are also located in the Program Files folder. Are these file locations correct?
Also, I have read somewhere that there should be usbaapl.cab, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl.sys files. I can't find any of these file. Are these files necessary?
Any help will be appreciated.

greetings rkonrv and welcome to Apple discussions !
it seems your have seen this KG then.
maybe this tip by Beebopp (though a little off topic) will provide some pointers:
+This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.+
+Here are the steps:+
+1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"+
+2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account+
+3. Single left click on START+
+4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)+
+5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)+
+6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)+
+7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)+
+8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties+
+9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab+
+10. Single left click on " Update driver "+
+11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista+
+12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown+
+13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "+
+14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.+
+15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.+
+16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.+
+17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.+
good luck !

IPod touch 2nd gen can no longer buy any songs

I realise the answer to this is because the iPod touch 2nd gen is too old but I want to check. It runs ios 4.2.1 and my wife wanted to buy a couple songs via the iTunes app over wifi. Everytime she tried to buy a song after inputting her password it went through the motions but just as it changed from waiting under downloads it then vanished and didn't download. I thought it was a problem with her account but the ame song downloaded fine on her iPad running 5.1.1 and also on our laptop in iTunes.
I realise many apps are no longer compatible etc but to not even be able to download songs now is pretty disheartening. Yes we can buy on the laptop and sync but essentially the wifi on the iPod touch is a bit useless now. It might as well just be an ipod now!
Cheers

For purchasing problem

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

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 releases, 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.
