Ipod touch 2nd generation completely black and won't charge

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I had it connected to an aux cord, playing music, and on the charger and then it turned off. The ipod felt hot right by the charger port. The screen is completely black. I tried holding down the sleep and home buttons, charging the ipod for a very long time on my laptop in all the usb ports and in the outlet in the wall. The ipod just stays black. It doesn't say if it's charging and when I plug it into my laptop, it doesn't show up on itunes or my computer. Please help!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation videos in iTunes won't copy?

Hello! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation, and I've been trying to put some videos on it, but whenever I try to sync it with my videos on iTunes, I get a message that says ''__' Was Not Copied to the iPod "__'s iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod'. Any help out there? I've tried exporting the file from QuickTime as the iPod/iPhone version, but it still won't play on my iTouch when i sync it from iTunes. I would try using a third party video converter to make it hte correct format for this old iTouch, but I don't even know what the correct format is! The software version is 4.2.1. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

If it is an iTunes purchase you should be able to download the SD version.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. You have no iCloud since that requies iOS 5 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. If yo do not have a backup yo can't restoe from backup

IPod touch stuck in a loop and won't charge

My iPod touch was left overnight with a full battery and was down to 20% in the morning. I've since learned that this is due to my ipod being connected to the wifi all the time.
However, when I connected my ipod to my laptop to charge it up again, it started looping the same 2 screens repeatedly and just won't charge.
First it shows the screen illustrating that there's no battery left and the ipod needs to be charged, then the loading screen (the white Apple logo) appears for about a minute before the ipod shuts off again. This loop doesn't end no matter what combination of buttons I press, and disconnecting it from the laptop just shuts it off again. If I try turning it on, it just tells me there's no battery.
Any thoughts on what I should do with this? Thanks in advance

Hello. My iPod touch 2nd gen suddenly stopped and won't turn back on.

It didn't got wet ( checked the sign). I have tried EVERYTHING from soft reset to hard reset ( Plug the device with iTunes opened and keep Menu button and Power button pressed for at least 30 seconds, up to two minutes, for at least 3 times ) . This happened somehwere in the middle of month May, today I tried those things. When i plug it in to charge up the bottom side gets warm ( maybe the battery). The device is out of warranty ( 2 years old ).
I want to find if there is anything else to try or just go to a workshop and see if it is from inside. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to sync an Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes to download music?

I have been trying to sync my Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes and it says its completed, but then the music doesn't transfer to the device and I know I can't upgrade to IOS 5 so is it impossible to download music to it? I just bought it today used to $54 so I am growing incredibly frustrated.

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

What exactly happens when you try to update the iPod? What does the error message say?
Also, are you sure yo have a 2G iPod?
See:

I ask since a 1G can only go to iOS 2.x via iTunes and highest is 3.1.3 via

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to. what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't turn on.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't turn on, except when I plug it in. When it's plugged in, it works fine, but when I unplug it, the screen turns black. The secont i plug it in again, it shows the apple logo as if i shut it down. When unplugged, it is unresponsive, i've tried everything with the home button and power button, doesn't move, it's just black. I've reset the Ipod, I know it is not a software issue. Sometimes it works, but as soon as i push the sleep button it doesn't turn back on till plugged back in. The battery's bad, but it can still last up to 30 minutes. I don't think it's worth buying a new battery, may as well buy an Ipod 5. (pretty cool)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
