Ipod touch 2nd generation help
Hello all,
I just recieved a hand me down ipod touch 2nd generation and is experiencing one major problem. Whenever I try to do anything on it, music, apps, etc, it will randomly shut itself off (the screen does an old tv gray line flash to the center thing before turning off), just to see the apple logo appear as a reboot on it's own. do not believe it was ever jailbroken (considering it's last owner wouldn't know how). it is on os 4.2.1, and the battery is depleting at a normal rate considering how old it is. I have tried turning off the wifi, blutooth, deleting all apps other than stock, reset all settings, and of course went into safe mode and not in safe mode to reformatt the thing in itunes more than once. Any ideas? It's too bad, because it is in good shape and works fine other than this one major flaw, and of course for the price of customer service and repairs, I might as well get a new one.
Thanks,
Nicholas.
All yu can do is to try the standard fixes:
- 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
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still hyave the problem you likely have a hardware problem.

I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country. -

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Also:
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.

since upgrading my iPod touch 2nd generation to (4.2.1) it keeps closing itself down and I have great difficulty turning it back on. HELP
Hi lllaass,
unfortunately that didn't work.
I turn my iPod on by using the bottons on the top and the front, I get the apple logo, the iPod comes on, then goes off (battery FULL)
Had no problems until the upgrade !!!!
So sure it's the software and not the iPod itself.
Thanks -
my ipod touch 2nd generation is no longer reconized in itunes when connected to my computer. I have tried different ipod cables and nothing works.
Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:
