Ipod touch 2nd generation goes from apple logo to low battery symbol when trying to turn it on.  Won't show up in itunes either.  Is it a dead battery? Help please.

Hi, I have a 2nd Geration iPod touch.  The ipod will NOT go past the apple logo when turning on.  After about three minutes of waiting the screen will go blank.  So, I push the sleep/wake button and the low battery symbol appears, indicating that the ipod is being charged.  After about three minutes the ipod goes to sleep.  Wake up and the red battery shows up again but this time the apple logo appears after about three minutes and stays on for 5 minutes before going to sleep again.  When you wake it up it is on the red battery again. and the process repeats. The battery symbol never increases from the low mark.(no matter how long I charge it.)  It also gets a little bit hot after a while.  The ipod will NOT show up in iTunes either.  Please help thank you.

If not successfl then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Maybe a battery.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stuck on Apple Logo loading up screen.

    I have looked at many posts and nobody has found a solution which suits me.
    My IPod gets stuck on the Apple Logo Loading screen when I turn the IPod on. Many say to reset the IPod, and so I do, and before long it dies, meaning it is unable to complete the reset.
    When I plug it into the computer it dies not long after it stays on the logo screen, but when it is plugged into the wall it will just stay on the apple logo screen for ages. So could it be the IPod itself that isn't working?
    ITunes cannot detect the IPod because the PC cannot detect it, and the reason the PC cannot detect it, is that the IPod has to be loaded and ready.
    So I am running out of ideas, the nearest Apple Store is miles away.
    I had it as a Christmas present this year, so its not that old.
    The Apple Mobile Device service is fully working.
    Any advice would be grateful, thanks!

    If not then I would take it in for repair.

  • IPod touch 5th generation (replacement from Apple Store) - yellow tinted screen

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation replacement from the Apple Store, and the display is slightly yellow compared to "new" or floor models. There are also some areas where the yellowing is more obvious than others. Is it possible to get this replaced at an Apple Store?
    I have read other posts where the yellow tint goes away within a week or so. I have had this problem for months.

  • Ipod touch is continuously flashing from apple logo to lock screen

    I have a apple ipod touch and it is continuously flashing from the apple logo to the unlock screen.  I can not get it to unlock cause it goes bak and forth. I am in the process of downloading all the updates to itunes so I am hoping that it will somehow fix my issue, but Im doubtful. Has anyone else experienced this and got any advice?  Ive tried restarting it and that doesnt work. I cant turn it off because I cant get the power off slide to come up. Any help would be great.

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
    - If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation fully charged apple logo comes up but freezes before it turns on

    i have a 1st generation ipod touch and i borrowed it to a friend for a while. she deleted everything that was on it when she gave it back to me. but now i'm trying to put it back onto my computer and it was dead now when i try to start it the apple logo comes up like it normally would then the wait symbol appears over the logo and it freezes and will not turn on. I tried to put it into dfu mode and it won't go into that either. has anybody else had any experiences with this and fixed them? please let me know. or do you all think i should just retire this one and buy a different ipod?

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    You can upgrade your iPod on itunes to the most recent software it willl support. Anything past that won't work on your device.

    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.

    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 daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it.  It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
    However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

  • HT1430 i recieved an ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now its stuck on a screen showing an adaptor with itunes music symbol on it. I do not know where to go from here.

    I recieved an apple ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now it is stuck on a screen with an adaptor showing with the itunes music symbol at the top of the screen.

    Restore...
    Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

    Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
    I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
    1. with the help of any android app
    2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
    3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
    I did try some of the options:
    1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
    2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
    Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
    Thank you!

    If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:

    If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
