IPOD TOUCH 2ND GENERATION

I AM LOOKING FOR A CHRISTMAS/BIRTHDAY GIFT AND THEY WANT A 16GB 2ND GENERATION IPOD TOUCH. BESTBUY HAS GOOD PRICES BUT WHERE CAN I GET NEW CHEAP TOUCHES?

Hi irhgorhog!
I actually just spent the weekend helping a friend connect their new iPod to iTunes and found that it would not connect unless we downloaded the latest version of iTunes – iTunes 8.  Have you tried this? 
As far as your iTunes purchased items being missing, I would suggest reaching out to Apple Support directly for proper assistance.  I hope this helps! 
Thanks,

    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 want to purchase games from the app store like Temple Run but it says I can't.Is there a way to update this ipod?

    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 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    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.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation wont turn on or show up on itunes or charge help!

    my ipod touch 2nd generation version 3.1.3. all o0f a sudden had stopped charging and will no longer show up in itunes.when i tried charging it that day it wouldnt charge and now its dead. i tried charging it back up and wont charge and when i try to turn it on it only shows the apple with black background and turns off again.any suggestions please text (574) 344-6625 or email [email protected] or [email protected]

    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.

  • 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,
    Sigma119

    - If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:

    - 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.

  • Will there be any updates for ipod touch 2nd generation

  • 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.

  • Ipod touch 2nd Generation can't download Apps?

    My nephew was given a ipod touch 4th generation, and so he gave me his ipod touch 2nd generation; after resetting the ipod and setting up an account on itunes, as well as authorising my computer, this ipod can not download apps like angry birds, however it could before! Please explain why this is and how i can fix this?

    The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
