Ipod Touch 2nd Gen distorted speaker and headphones

When i play music on my ipod touch through the inbuilt speaker, there is just disortion. When i play music through the headphones, i can hear the music from thr right side, not the left. to hear music from trh left side i have to turn the volume up fully, the music is low and is disorted. also, when there is nothing playing i hear disortion in the left headphone, when i touch the screen to do anything the disortion changes and becomes worse.
its not the headphones, because the work fine in other divices

Ipod Touch 2nd gen. Backlight and App Problem

I bought an iPod touch 2nd gen. from a friend and it worked completely fine. But today, my iPod's backlight just randomly shut off. I can see the apps and everything works perfectly fine, the screen is just very dim. The iPod is jailbroken. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!
Also, another problem I am having is with apps. Some apps that I have had previously installed on my iPod and then deleted will not reinstall along with new apps I wish to install. I have tried installing them from iTunes on my computer, but that doesn't help either. If anyone has any answers to any of these problems, please help me.
THANK YOU ((:
I do not know what operating system the iPod currently running on.

Exact same problem. I bought my ipod touch 2nd gen last december.I have always kept it in a plastic case for protection. Then the other day the button wasnt responding very well, I thought it was because the case wasnt fitting correctly. So today the button stopped working completely. My local retail store elcorteingles¿ i live in spain? are useless, theyll tell me to call apple, but because my 90 fredays are up i have to pay probally which is stupid considering my ipod is still under warranty. I also have never dropped my ipod ¿it cost allot of money so obviously ive been looking after it)
So I gues the best option is take it to your local retail store (if their usefull) or in my case ill have to send it away for maintanance.

QUICK ANSWER.Apple iPod touch 2nd gen. Digitizer and LCD replacement help.

Hi,
I bought a digitizer from amazon and a LCD from there. And I got them today. When I installed my LCD I got a white screen, but restored ( I didn't have my digitizer on) so I tried to touch my LCD when it said slide to unlock, but nothing unresponsive and it still is. I put my digitizer on but I only had one screw that holding down the battery. And i connected it and nothing. Took it out, now I googled why it dos t work and it said "logic board" how do I know if it's broke. iPod touch 2nd gen 8gb

LCD stands for Liqued Crystal Display and isn't the problem.
the digitizor has a meaning in which i just forgot and
why in the world are YOU replacing the stuff???
hope i helped?!

IPod touch 4g - No sound (Speaker and headphones)

So my Mum drops my iPod into a toilet (long story), and no it will not play music through the speaker, or through the headphones. There is also no little volume bar thing in the "now playing" section, the volume buttons do sweet F.A, and when you press the square button and slide across to the volume bar, there is not cirlce showing me what the volume level is at. I have only ever seen this behaviour when it is plugged into my docking station, and it still plays music through that, so my conclusion is that it thinks there is always something plugged into the docking port. How can I fix this? Or how much will it cost to get fixed? (I have had it less than a month, no insurance, water damage)

Hello. My iPod touch 2nd gen suddenly stopped and won't turn back on.

It didn't got wet ( checked the sign). I have tried EVERYTHING from soft reset to hard reset ( Plug the device with iTunes opened and keep Menu button and Power button pressed for at least 30 seconds, up to two minutes, for at least 3 times ) . This happened somehwere in the middle of month May, today I tried those things. When i plug it in to charge up the bottom side gets warm ( maybe the battery). The device is out of warranty ( 2 years old ).
I want to find if there is anything else to try or just go to a workshop and see if it is from inside. Thanks in advance.

Try here.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar oa an Apple store. The appointment is free.

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen screen is cracked!

I had my Ipod Touch 2nd Gen for 6 and a half months. Yesterday, I sitting at my computer and I heard something fall. I turn to find out it was my ipod touch. I lifted up, not seeing the crack. I put noticed it when I put it in the light. Its one big one and then three long, but small ones. I did my research to see what I can do. Apple doesn't cover accidental. I know that. I was check around websites. Is it worth getting the screen fixed? Or should I just get a new one? I asked my family and they can't give me a answer.

It depends on how much it costs to get it fixed. If it is a good bit of money to pay for a fix, then you might want to get a new 3rd Gen. They have faster performance.

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.)

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)

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 !

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

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.

My ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gb won't boot! (I did hold home and power)
