Ipod Touch ( 2nd Gen ) Drivers will not install on my computer! HELP!

We are trying to dump my 2nd generation Ipod and reload everything in it so that I can give it to my son to use- But the drivers are NOT installing in my computer, any ideas why?

What do you mean?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

IPod touch 2nd Gen unresponsive, will not power on or charge. Have plugged it into my iMac, but will not charge or power on... Any idea what it could be?

iPod was working without issues, this seemed to come out of nowhere... Again, does not seem to accept a charge, power on, etc....

HT4623 In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an updates choice. Anybody know anything about this?

In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.

I recently got an ipod touch 2nd gen i then realised i needed a computer and itunes to set it up. i dont have those so could i pop into an apple store and they would do it for me.

Ipod Touch 2nd gen add playlist not on ipod screen

My ipod touch 2nd gen does not have ''add play list'' on the play list screen and i can not restore or update, because it is no longer supported by itunes PLEASE HELP

Did you resolve this issue yet? I'm using a 1st generation iPod Touch [iOS version 3.1.3], and I have the same issue. And, when I sync a Smart Playlist from iTunes to the iPod Touch, it either does not show up as a Smart Playlist, or if it does, and I select it, it is blank. yet, if I search on the iPod Touch under genres, songs, etc., they are there.
What version iOS do you have on your iPod? Also, why do you need to restore or update? I doubt it will fix the problem. From forums I've read, many people have been having similar issues. Seems to be a bug in several of the versions of the iOS. In any case, the original back-up to restore/update your iPod Touch should already be on your computer via iTunes, unless you are trying to update/restore to some other version. I believe it can not go beyond version 4.2.1 for your iPod Touch. You can always do a web search for older versions of the iOS, these are called "ipsw" files. Let me know if this helps, and if you are able to resolve this issue.

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

IPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 will not Restore/Reset

I have an iPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 that has gone into disabled mode. The Apple instructions for putting my device into recovery mode are not working and I have a new computer that has never connected/synced with this iPOD before :-( . iTunes just keeps telling me it can't connect to the ipod because I need to type my password into my ipod. IPOD screen still just says disabled. I have tried to get it into restore mode so many times that the "power off slider" won't appear on screen anymore when I hold down the sleep/wake button. The screen just goes black. When I press the home button the disabled screen pops up again. Do I need to take my iPOD to an apple store? The iPOD is named with my name and I have my ID to show the iPOD is mine so will they help me at the store? I have been researching for hours it seems and I just can't find further help on restoration/reset. Side note: was my daughters old iPOD and she does not remember what the password is. Ugh... teenagers! thanks ahead of time.

No reason for an Apple store visit. It not an ID problem at all
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My ipod touch 5th gen 60GB will not respond to charge or turn on!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ipod classic will not turn on! I have tried plugging it to a charger. I have tried to press the menu and the center button at the same time and it dosen't work. Although my middle button is stuck and you have to press it hard it has always responded and worked when you pressed it.! Please help me I need this iPod to start working!!!

Very confusing post - Do you have an iPod Touch as listed in the header or an iPod Classic?
To Reset, you must press the menu and center button for at least 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON.
When you connect to a wall charger or PC, what do see on the iPod Screen?

IPod Touch 4th Gen. WILL NOT sync!!

When i try to sync my ipod touch to my itunes it skips the process and says:
itunes could not back up the ipod 'Renae's iPod'because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipod. Delete the backup for this ipod, then try again.
my ipod still shows up that its charging and comes up in my itunes but it wont sync.
i have already deleted the backup files for the ipod but it STILL won sync!!!!
The only thing that i can think of is when it was syncing earlier and my battery died and my laptop turned off.
-thats all that might have gone wrong.
Can someone PLEASE help me! i really want to sync my ipod and i have tried everything!!!!
deleting backup on the ipod did not help! so can someone else????

Did this happen after updating to iOS 5 or 5.0.1? Sometimes updates cause this type problem with some car systems.
You can try the standard fixes:
- 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

IPod Touch, 16GB, Generation 5, will not sync with my computer?

I purchased an iPod Touch, 16GB, Generation 5 from Wal-Mart. I've tried everything from re-installing iTunes to rebooting the computer and iPod. However, even after clicking Trust, it won't fully trust my computer as well as iTunes isn't recognizing it. For reference, I'm using a Windows 8, Dell PC, and iTunes is fully up to date.
It will download music from the store on the device itself, and iTunes recognizes when the purchases are made on the device, but it still won't sync it.

Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

After resetting ipod touch 1st gen, it will not register to itunes anymore. How do I fix this?

I reset my ipod 1st gen and all settings after it started getting finiky when trying to open apps and it wouldnt let me download apps from the store.

I dont know how to open my ipod through itunes nor how to install itunes onto my ipod again. On my ipod it shows the connect to itunes screen. Is my ipod bricked? What does this even mean and how do I fix this? I have windows 8 if that helps

While trying to sync my iPod Touch (2nd gen), it will only sync about 5-15 songs before saying "iTunes has stopped working."

I just got some new songs, and want to put them on my iPod. I connected it to my laptop, and iTunes opened and automatically started to sync my songs. It only synced the first 8, then displayed an error message saying "iTunes has stopped working." The only option was to close the program, so I did. I then tried at least ten more times, with the same results. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but nothing is working. Please help!

Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen Recognized but not Charging on new Computer

I have a 2nd generation ipod shuffle that has worked on previous computers. I have recently switched computers, uploaded itunes, transferred music, and imported playlists. I am able to connect my ipod shuffle to my new computer, recognize it, and add/switch/sync music. BUT after syncing, it doesn't charge anymore: the light goes from blinking orange to no light at all. When I plug it back into my old computer (or another computer), it charges (and works in general) without a problem.
I've tried resetting my ipod, using a different USB port, restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and even restoring my ipod completely. It still doesn't charge... any ideas???

Since it works on your old computer, the shuffle seems to be fine. If you are using the same USB docking cable with both computer, the docking cable seems to be fine.
The shuffle seems to connect and sync properly on your new computer, so I don't think it's a software-related problem with your computer.
The only remaining cause is the USB port on the computer. It's possible it is not providing sufficient power to charge the shuffle's battery. If this is a laptop, maybe there is a power-saving feature that reduces power to a USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted. A shuffle is a USB storage device, and iTunes unmounts the shuffle's disk after it completes syncing. I would look for a setting in your computer's Control Panels that may be related to such a feature.
Also, you can try setting the shuffle to Enable disk use. This setting (a checkbox) is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. When disk use is enabled, iTunes keeps the shuffle's disk mounted (the shuffle's light continues to blink orange after syncing is done), to give Windows access to the shuffle's disk. If my "theory" is connect, the USB port should then continue to have full power and the shuffle's battery should charge.
NOTE: With disk use enabled, you need to eject the shuffle in iTunes before physically disconnecting. After ejecting (clicking the small button to the right of the shuffle's name), you should see the shuffle's light become a solid color (green if fully charged), which means you can safely disconnect it.

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen won't sync music from my computer.

I connect my iPod to iTunes and it says "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)."
Photos, apps, movies, and such can all be changed and synced, but audio files can't. I can put a song on the iPod and iTunes will that it's been added, display it amoung my other music, but when it doesn't actually appear on the iPod itself.
All my software in update-to-date, I've tried using different cords to connect my iPod to the computer, and I've restarted the iPod several times.
Is there something wrong with the iPod? How can I fix this?

Have you tried here:
