IPod Touch 2nd Generation not staying on

So my Ipod touch, second generation recently started turning off when ever I pause music. It started with the top on/off button not working, now its to the point that when ever I pause my music it eventually turns to the black screen with the apple and it then flashes until I plug it in to a power source. I've already tried to resetting it twice, which did not seem to fix anything. Is there anyway to fix this without sending it back to apple?

Resetting or restoring 2 times?

  • IPod Touch 2nd generation not being recognized / charging through iTunes

    I am having issues with my 2nd gen iPod Touch being recognized in iTunes or Windows.  I have tried multiple computers with no luck (Windows XP and 7).
    Here is what is going on.
    iPod is not recognized through computer or iTunes
    iPod doesn't charge through computer or a wall charger, however, will charge through a seperate speaker dock. (this seems odd that it will charge on a dock, but not through the wall charger or computer).
    Each time the iPod is plugged into the computer with Windows XP, I get a message that the USB device is not recognized.  I get no message when plugged into Windows 7.
    Here are the steps I tried to fix the issue.
    used multiple cables, 3 in all.  My iPhone 3gs works fine and is recognzied with all cables / computers.
    reset the device numerous times and re-started computers.
    Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled with no luck.
    I'm reaching out into the community to see if anyone has had similiar issues and looking for advice to solving this problem.
    Thanks for your help and responses.

    Slightly different contact configuratio in the dock might allow charging nly on the dock.
    If you can't straight out the contacts:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. However, it may not be worth it for the old 2G iPod.
    Apple - iPod Repair price      
    A third-party place like the following is less. Google for more.
    http://www.iresq.com/ipod-repair/ipod-touch-2.html
    but may not be worth it for a 2G
    But may not be worth the $69 plus shipping for the old 2G iPod

    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.

    Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

  • 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.

  • IPod touch 2nd generation will not connect to home wifi

    My ipod touch 2nd generation will not connect to the internet. I am using a BT modem and this is a new problem. Until recently, I had no problem with this connection and it will connect to BT Fon and BTOpenworld. I just cannot get it to connect at home any more. I also use a macbook pro and this is connected to the bt modem.

    You should post this in the iPod Touch forum.  This is the iPod Shuffle forum.

  • IPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 will not Restore/Reset

    I have an iPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 that has gone into disabled mode. The Apple instructions for putting my device into recovery mode are not working and I have a new computer that has never connected/synced with this iPOD before :-( . iTunes just keeps telling me it can't connect to the ipod because I need to type my password into my ipod. IPOD screen still just says disabled. I have tried to get it into restore mode so many times that the "power off slider" won't appear on screen anymore when I hold down the sleep/wake button. The screen just goes black. When I press the home button the disabled screen pops up again.  Do I need to take my iPOD to an apple store? The iPOD is named with my name and I have my ID to show the iPOD is mine so will they help me at the store? I have been researching for hours it seems and I just can't find further help on restoration/reset. Side note: was my daughters old iPOD and she does not remember what the password is. Ugh... teenagers! thanks ahead of time.

    No reason for an Apple store visit. It not an ID problem at all
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. 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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
