Ipod touch 2nd gen. Won't play videos anymore-all purchase on ITUNES

All of sudden my touch is not syncing any of the videos I purchased on ITUNES. I tried reset-nothing. I don't have the ability to convert via itunes-it won't highlight that option. These were on my ipod-some even purchased on the ipod then transfered. Once transfered they disappear off the ipod and stay on itunes and then I get an error saying format doesn't work. I was able to watch them when I downloaded direct into ipod.
I've seen similar post but nothing seemed to be exactly what I have. Can anyone help?

- Do they play on the computer?
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.

IPod Touch 5th Gen won't play videos in the camera roll?

I am trying to play videos I have in my iPod Touch's camera roll and it won't play them. What happens is that is shows its a video, shows the time in the video, when you click the play for the video it is paused, you can drag the slider through the timeline and it will go to that point in the video, but it won't play it will just be paused. I can hit the play button on the bottom all day and it won't play. I tried this on numerous videos and the same story. Now, I took these videos on my iPod Touch 4th gen over the past few years, and obviously put them on my 5th gen using the backup feature. These videos are of my daughter as a baby and I really don't want to loose these. Any idea on how to get them to play?

IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

Hi,
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

Sounds like Apps have been restricted. Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

HT1386 ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync with Windows 8 laptop

Why won't my ipod touch 2nd gen sync with my Windows 8 laptop? It worked last week, but not since latest Windows update on my laptop. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Have you:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch. Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
Please help! This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
Thanks,
Carl

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

IPod Touch 2nd Generation won't sync photos anymore

Hi all,
My iPod Touch 2nd generation is running OS 3.1.2 on iTunes 9.0.2, Mac OS 10.6.1. It recently automatically removed all the photos from my iPod Touch and won't let me sync them anymore. I go to the Photos tab on iTunes and the albums/events I want to sync are selected, but when I hit the sync button, I can read the status on the iTunes window stating it's syncing music, then contacts, then whatever, and when it comes to photos, it just flashes "syncing photos" for a millisecond and keeps on going. No error messages, nothing. At the end, no photos are on my iPod and the memory status bar on iTunes shows I have a certain GB of music, apps, other, but no photos.
I've tried to sync all everything from iPhoto just to give it a try, with no luck.
Any ideas?
I've tried to restore my iPod, it works for the first sync, but when I connect the iPod the second time, it removes all the photos again.
Thanks
Tadeu

uncheck the Photos Sync and hit Sync. Let it finish. Then go back and check it again and hit Sync. See if that works.

TS1398 My ipod touch 2nd gen won't connect to the internet :(

Whenever i try connecting, i put in the password and it says that it is unable to connect. I've tried turning both the ipod and the wifi off and back on again, I've reset my connection settings, I've double checked the password, I've done verything short of taking it to an Apple store and getting them to look at it. My brother bought this new gaming computer, and it was taking up a lot of the band width, making the internet really really slow. We also recently switched internet, from BT to Virgin, although everything was working fine until my brother got his computer. The other day, my ipod came up with a message saying that it couldn't connect to the internet, when it's been working fine five inutes earlier. This sometimes happened with our old internet, so I just did what I used to, and made my ipod forget our internet, and re-entered the password. This used to work, but this time, it just said that it was unable to connect. It's done this ever time I've put in the password since (about ten times a day -_-), een when there's no other electronic devices on, just my ipod and the router. All the other computers, laptops, and my btoyhers phone and ipod 4th gen are connecting fine, but my ipod and blackberry just won'connect. I've tried everythin I can think of, please help!

You can try:
- reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off an then backon your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Ipod Touch 2nd gen won't sync, show up, or charge

The title says it all. An ipod touch of mine (8g 2nd gen touch) will not turn on, respond to any button commands, show up in itunes, and barely charge. My wall charger's light will light up (indicating it is charging), but it will not do anything. I'm pretty sure there have been many questions like this, but im lazy and can someone help me in this specific case?
thannks.

i have tried there, but its not that kind of problem. believe it or not i have a decent share of experience with ipods and am great at programming and other electronics. the screen is totally black. no connect to itunes, or battery low. black black. its really weird.

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

IPod Touch 2nd Gen won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance,
P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

I mean MobileDeviceService not MobileMe, sorry.

IPod touch 4th gen no longer plays video on TV

Can anyone tell me exactly why I can no longer play ANY (personal, purchased, downloaded) videos or pictures from my iPod 4th Generation to my TV with the same cables I've been using for several months to do just that? I no longer have the "TV output" option in my "Video" menu either. Is this due to a software "upgrade?"

Try:
- A reset. Nothing will be 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.
- Next restore from backup va iTunes
- Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
