IPod Touch 2nd Generation iOS4 Problems

Okay, I have an iPod touch 2G 16GB, since upgrading to iOS4 my ipod's suffered numerous crashes, it started off whilst playing games but has now decided to do it when listening to music also.
Basically what happens is the screen will flash white and then the display disappears turning the device off. Then when I try to turn it back on it won't work, not even hard resets work. I have to wait hours before tryin another 4 or 5 times before it gets going again.
The device hasn't been jail broken, I've restored it and reinstated everything but I'm at a loss here.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Dann

I am having similar problems, except it doesn't take hours it just returns me to my home screen. Also many apps won't even begin to play. I have updated some of my games and things with versions they claim are iOS4 compatible but they still have issues from time to time. It's very obviously a iOS4 problem or just a problem with every app available at the moment. Either way I think we can say this is a huge FAIL on apple's part to bring this out either to early or at all. I was planning on getting a new Iphone 4 but after these problems I can see why a lot of people are starting to buy Droid and I will be looking into buying one of those too.

IPod touch 2nd generation memory problem?

I bought a used iPod touch 2nd generation from Gamestop. The back of the ipod says it's 8GB. But when I connect it to iTunes, it says 6.5GB. I tried restoring it and everything. Is that normal?

100% normal!! The iOS takes up part of that memory so it is normal to be 6.5GB.

IPod touch 2nd generation music problem

Ok so my iPod touch music suddenly wont work through speakers. The notifications and clicks work but the music will not play through my speakers. The volume slider appears when I plug in my headphones and music works fine but when I remove my headphones the music will not play through the speakers. Earlier I played a video through a website and it worked fine. Now the volume rocker wont even work.
Tried reset and restore and it is fully updated. It is not under warranty so this is my only option.

You said you restored the iPod. If you only restored the iPod from backup. try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If that does not solve ythe problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Speaker Problem

So I've had my Ipod touch second gen for over a year now and i had to replace it once because the power button got jammed. Now I have a new one (which I got exchanged) and my warrenty is over now, and now my speakers are messed up. I cannot increase or decrease the volume. The volume sign for speakers show up and it just frozen with zero squares but when i play a sound it's insanely loud. I can't change the volume and it is really p i s s i n g me off. If I plug my headphones in everything works fine but when i disconnect them the sound is at max and cannot be changed. If i try and go to music or videos my ipod freezes and glitches out. If i go to the sound settings my ipod shuts off. If i am listening to a song with my headphones on it works but as soon as i disconnect it, its freezes and shuts off. I have rebooted, resetted, and even restored it as a new ipod and from my backups. I can't do anything now. My warrenty is gone and apple said they will not let me purchase warrenty now that its expired and they won't even fix it even if there is a cost. THIS IS SO CRAP! Any help please?

100% normal!! The iOS takes up part of that memory so it is normal to be 6.5GB.

There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,

- If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:
iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
- Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery. However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing- A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google from more places.

Try downloading apps on your iPod (not on your Mac or PC). Apple now permits downloading "last compatible versions" of some apps.

Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete... then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
WOrked like a charm.
Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

If I update my iPod Touch 2nd generation's iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3 what problems will appears?

I need iOS 4.3 to play new games but I afraid because I don't know it won't be too slow.
Please help me. Thanks!

iOS 4.2.1 is the highest level that still supports the iPod Touch 2nd Generation so this isn't possible.

Problem updating my ipod touch 2nd generation

I have a ipod touch 2nd generation and in itunes it says its software is updated to iOS 4.2.1. But when i try to download apps it says i need iOS 4.3. but it says its up to date what should i do?

Those applications can't be used on a second generation iPod touch. You need to get a newer device or give up.

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.

My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Froze And Is Trying To Install ALL Of My Apps!

A few hours ago my ipod touch 2nd generation froze, and then it took about 15 minutes to unfreeze. Now it's working very slow. I soon realized that it's trying to istall ALL of my apps I've downloaded since I got my ipod. I had to attempt to shut off the wifi so it would stop. right now over 25 apps are on Pause. I don't want to restore my ipod because I last did a backup about a few months ago. My computer is out of memory, and it's a very slow computer. I recently send an email to apple because of an issue I had with two missing itunes store purchases that it deleted off of my ipod when I connected it with itunes. They never emailed me back and it's been over 24 hours. Could apple be attempting to send me back ALL of the things I've purchased and downloaded with my account? If they are, IT'S NOT FUNNY

- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
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.

Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:

i tried a couple more but i lost the links of them.
when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!

Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!
