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 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.

  • Help!! ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) is running by itself!

    I just got a ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) from a friend.
    This ipod has some problem.. it is running by itself! When I on it, and for example go to Settings, it will just randomly go to a next selection as if responding to my selection but I never touch anything.. I've tried to reset to factory settings and it's updated to ios4.2.1 but still no use..
    anyone can help? greatly appreciated!!

  • No volume, Volume isnt showing up or working iPod touch 2nd gen version 4.2.1

    My volume isn't working and the volume bar isn't showing up when try to play my music. I turnt off my ipod touch 2nd generation verison 4.2.1 but the volume came back for a while but it stop working again. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I dont have the money to get this problem fixed.
    I restore my ipod and i am still having this problem
    Help please and thank you.

    If you revert to a previous version, 11.1.2 for example, it will work again. Older versions of iTunes, like 10, are available here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes
    Don't know if this is suppose to be like this and the iPod Touch 2nd gen is no longer supported, but I would find that a weird moment. I guess we might found out with the next update, if it works again.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Try:
    - 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.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen Battery Replacement?

    I have a 32 Gig Ipod Touch 2nd Gen, bought it when it first game out. Battery has been really poor lately and I took it to the Apple Store to see what I can do. They told me that they don't do battery replacements, just replace the whole unit. I said fine, until they came back from their computer and told me that it would cost me $250! I was pretty shocked, they just smiled and said, well they are trying to encourage people to drop their old units and buy new ones.
    Anyways, $250.00 to replace a battery that should cost no more than $50.00 as per any other battery I've every replaced is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. With that said, does anyone know of any options to get my battery replaced, a good place I can send it in to, I'd like to get a "GOOD" battery not some cheap unit that will die on me quick.
    Comment to Apple, I don't mind paying a little extra to replace the unit with a new battery but $250 is absolutely absurd, and to hear a comment on a perfectly good unit that Apple is charging a lot to encourage people to buy newer gens is very upsetting. I was eventually planning on getting a 64Gig version but at the cost, it's just not worth it to know that these items are just disposible once the battery dies! I hope you consider changing your policy in the future to something more reasonable. However old it is, any other product I have costs me a few dollars to replace the battery and I get good use out of it for a very long time!
    Thanks

    In the USA, Apple would charge $79 plus shipping for battery replacement:

    This place will charge $35 plus shipping

  • Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
    I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
    iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
    I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
    I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
    I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
    On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
    So my questions are
    1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
    2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
    P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
    ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
    CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
    VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
    Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

    Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version?  I would delete the download and try again.  You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

  • Update iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem updating my iPod touch 2nd gen to iOS 4.2. When I connect it to iTunes (version 9.2.1 as I'm still on OS 4.11) and click "Update" it returns an error message saying "This iTunes version is the latest version (9.2.1)" and no update will happen.
    I'm willing to believe this is due to the fact that I'm using Tiger, but surely Apple would want even users of older versions of their software and hardware to update their stuff, wouldn't they? Anyway, I hope there is a workaround for this, as I'm very keen on starting to use Airplay.
    Thx in advance for your help!

    "So basically I need to buy a new computer (as I'm pretty sure my G5 cannot be upgraded to Snow Leopard) in order to update my iPod touch to the latest iOS version?"
    No. Can your computer not handle Leopard?
    "That seems a bit over the top, doesn't it?"
    NO. Quite normal that newer products require newer software. Happens constantly across the entire industry.
    " And essentially this means that Apple is withholding the benefits of iOS 4.2 from what I believe to be a substantial group of Tiger users. Doesn't seem fair, does it?"
    Not even a little unfair at all. It is completely and totally normal, average, everyday.
    You want the latest technology and features, you need the latest equipment and software. Nothing the slightest bit unusual about this.

    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 (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?

  • 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?
