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.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Screen Cracked

         My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation got a nice cracked in the screen. It still works fine the crack just bothers me. I have been reading up and i have heard alot of people took it into apple and the fixed or replaced it for free. I was just wondering if this is true. Or if there is another way to get it fixed without having to pay over 80 dollars. I don't want to try and repair it myself because I am not very confident in myself.

    That looks like an acceptable screen. you want one that comes fully assembeled with a frame and home button. There's numerous how to videos on youtube.

  • 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 (iOS 4.2.1) stops playing certain songs but screen remains.

    iPod Touch 2nd Gen 32GB
    iOS 4.2.1
    roughly 4.89 GB free
    During playback, the Touch stops playing on certain specific songs, but the screen remains as is (that is, doesn't go back to menu or black).  I suspect "bad blocks/sectors" on the memory chip, but have no way of checking.  Pressing pause and then play again doesn't help.  Skipping back to previous song and then forward doesn't help.  Skipping forward does not work (next song doesn't play).  This affects only certain very specific and recently added songs.
    I've tried Reseting (erasing all content) and Restoring from backup.  Problem still occurs.
    Next step is to Reset (erase all content) and setup as a new ipod.  Then reload music content.  All content is AAC at 192kbps or lower.
    Anyone have any thoughts?

    If the songs play OK in iTunes on the comnputer:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    try to reboot your ipod, to do this hold the power button for 5 seconds, continue to hold the power button and press the home button for 10 seconds (at about 8 seconds the ipod will turn off ignore that) after that realease the buttons and your ipod should return to normal. (this working on my ipod 4g when it went green screen) hope it works!!

  • My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen.

    My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen. I have restored it three times so far, but every time it turns off the problem returns. Since restoring yesterday, the battery life has been dramatically shortened as well. I have no idea what to do, as my iPod is out of warranty and this problem started for no reason what so ever. I also have no local access to Apple support. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've tried this. Though it brings temporary success, in the fact that the iPod functions until it is turned off again. Then the problem seems to return. I thought it might be a problem with the backup file, but I have since restored it completely (to have nothing but the basics on) and the problem is still there. 
    Thank you for the responses so far though. Hopefully, they can help others with a similar problem.

    I believe mine is also 4.2.1. I made an error when selecting the OS at the bottom of my posts and have no idea how I change it.
    *EDIT* - I have now managed to change my iOS, not that it makes much difference. I've heard people have been having trouble with iOS 4 on the 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

  • I just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with another how can i get my itunes back

    i just replaced my ipod touch 2nd gen with the same model and cant seem to get my iyunes back

    Don't understand question, Changing iPod shouldn't affect iTunes on the computer you sync with.  Plug in new iPod, it should take you through some screens of options asking how you want to setup the new iPod.
    Just did this when going from 7+ year old iPod video to iPod Touch 5th gen.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

    I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
    32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
    Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
    Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
    I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

    I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
    The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?
