Ipod Touch 2nd generation Sharp edges on bottom
Hi all,
I love, love my 2nd generation ipod touch. As recent college graduate I used it everyday and everywhere. My question is... has anyone else experienced sharp edges alongside the bottom of the dock charger? When I constantly hold the ipod touch in my right hand, vertically, my right hand pinky finger constantly gets rubbed up against the dock charger underneath the bottom of the ipod touch. It has always been an issue, but I am not one to complain.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Thanks.

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

- 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.

Will there be any updates for ipod touch 2nd generation
i have the ipod touch 2nd generation and was wondering if there will be any updates or any fixes for that generation of ipod?
iOS 5 will definitely not support the 2nd-generation iPod touch. They list the supported devices at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html

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. -
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:

I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?
You can update it to 4.2.1
Open itunes, connect ipod. If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update. -
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 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

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. -

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,

HT2052 iOS Software Update for iPod touch (2nd generation)
I am not able to use previous apps on my iPod touch 2nd generation or even install new apps cause of this issue. I find it very messed up that Apple is inputting these restrictions, because they want people to buy the latest versions of their gadgets. Not everyone finds it necessary to buy every new version of every technology or even have the money to do so. It is just really disappointing...
There is nothing unusual about this at all.
As with any tv, computer, dvd player, car,etc the older hardware is simply not capable of running the latest software.
This is normal.
The second gen was released over 4 years ago.
