Ipod touch 2nd gen not connecting to mail now-any anwers?

My iPod Touch 2nd Generation can no longer connect to my email (formerly MobileMe account). I am running iOS 4.2.1
Why can I not suddenly connect to my email? It asks me to create account with MobileMe, which I already have. Every time
I try to put in my Apple ID and password (long in use, NOT new), it says it already exists (no fooling?). It becomes a big endless
loop and no matter how many times I repeat the activity, same answer. I even restarted the iPod, to no avail. Any answers?
thank you for your help.

MobileMe has been discontinued and replaced by iClould. Did you transition to iCloud? However, the 2G iPod is no supported by iCloud.
To seup mail on youre 2G see:

  • Ipod touch (2nd gen) not connecting to itunes on mac air

    I have an old iPod touch (2nd gen) and want to sync it with my macbook air, but it will not show up on my mac or in iTunes. When connected it is charging so there is nothing wrong with the cable but i do not know why it is not showing up on the macbook.
    any suggestions on what it is and how to fix it will be greatly appreciated.

  • 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 not turning on or charging

    I've had my 2nd gen iPod Touch for a good couple of years now, but recently it has just stopped working completely.
    I can't turn it on, and when after 2 minutes of charging (on both the USB cable and my DAB radio docking station) it gets extremely hot at the bottom. It is also not appearing anywhere/being recognized if I plug it into my computer, so I can't restore it in any way. It hasn't been dropped in any way, but stopped working after losing battery power and turning off.
    I expect it's somewhat of a lost cause due to it being an older gen model, but I would be grateful if there were any solutions available before I take it to my local Apple store next week.
    I wouldn't think it was to do with the age though, since I also have a 3rd gen iPod Nano which after a good 6 years or so works perfectly. But, my ask for help still stands, thanks in advance.

    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, like a bad battery, and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to itunes

    My daughter's ipod touch (2nd generation) is not being recognized by itunes.... The cords are fine (they recoginize my iphone) but we can sync her ipod to her library because of this. I have tried updating itunes, turning the ipod off and back on, reseting the ipod settings, and restarting the computer. SO FRUSTRATED!

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Do you have another computer to try?
    Does the iPod charge?
    If you look at the dock connector in the iPod does anything look abnormal like bent contacts? I suspect an iPod problem.

  • IPod Touch (2nd Gen) not charging properly and apps won't update

    Hi, I'm not really sure if or how these problems can be linked, but I thought I'd put them together just in case...
    My first problem is that my apps aren't updating properly.  When I try to apply the updates, I get the "waiting" come up but then it just resets having done nothing, sometimes needing me to switch my iPod right off and on again before I can use the app again.  I tried connecting my iPod up to my computer to apply the updates through iTunes and it seemed to work, but none of them actually updated.
    Having connected to iTunes and tried to sync everything, I also got an error message saying that the apps couldn't be synched due to not being able to determine what apps were on my iPod.  However, they were all sitting there looking like they had synched.
    The second part of the problem is that my iPod doesn't seem to be charging properly anymore.  The battery doesn't seem to be lasting as long as it should and I've noticed that sometimes when I'm charging it, I get the symbol come up that means it's running from the mains, when it should actually still be the symbol to show it's currenty charging, so I'm wondering if the problem is that it's not charging properly some of the time rather than the charge isn't lasting long enough.
    If anyone's got any ideas how to resolve any of this I'd really appreciate it
    Thank you

  • IPod touch 5th Gen. not connecting to iTunes over wifi

    Hi
    My iPod touch has suddenly, in the last few days stoped being able to sync with the contents of my iMac over wifi. In the options part when a Device is conected to iTunes, there is a check box which I always have ticked. I have unticked this box and resynced, then reticked this box and resynced, but this has not worked. The only was to get music on to my iPod which I have on my iMac is to connect it the old fashion way with a cable. 
    The iPad mini has stayed connected. Both Devices are running iOS 8.2. I don't know what has done wrong

    Thank you for your swift help. I think you should go to Level 11 just for helping me solve my problem.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen not syncing photos

    One of my ipod touch's albums to sync is iPhoto's "last import" album. It always updates the album every time I import new photos into iPhoto. However, it has stopped doing that. I have old photos in my album now instead of the most recent import. In "Last Import" on my iPod, it's showing me my import from two times ago, not the most recent. I've clicked SYNC in iTunes about 5 times, but it won't update. My music and podcasts are all updated, just not my photos.
