Ipod Touch 32Gb 2nd Gen Ranomly Crashes?!? HELP!!!

Sorry for a double post, but it was in the wrong section.
Well I recently bought at 32Gb 2nd Gen Ipod Touch about three weeks ago, and it's amazing. It's pretty much everything I expected it to be. Well... there's only one problem I have with it. I could be listening to music, or watching a movie, or just browsing some pages on safari and then it would just randomly turn off. I mean, I can't be because of some external damage, can it? I haven't dropped it. I updated it to the 2.2 firmware, and I even restored it about three times now, but nothing has changed with it. It just keeps randomly restarting. When I restored it I didn't even add music, I had like three applications, Bubble Wrap Pro, Bubble Wrap, and Field Runners, then I went to browse a page on safari and it just randomly restarted... I thought that restore was pointless if it was just going to do that crap all over again... I use to think it was the album art, because I got that off the album art off google. Do they have to be a certain type of picture like .png or .jpeg? Well I deleted them all off and it still messes up? Just randomly restarts whenever I'm doing something. What's the problem with my Ipod!?? Do I have a corrupt file like a song, application or movie? Also whenever I connect it to my computer it says like "MD Crash Report," what is that? Does that have any affect to what's happening to my Ipod? I have a three-year warranty at Best Buy. I took it back and they were little help. They told me that I probably had a corrupt file. I think I do, but how can I find it? I have over 2,000 songs, so I have no time to look for one song that is corrupt, you know! And no I don't hold the sleep and home button... I know that's how to restart it. So can anyone help? Any ideas on how to fix it and what causes it to restart?
I've done a little research but not a lot of people have the same problem. Well thank you for reading!

If you've reset it 3 times and it still hasn't worked then it seems to me (although I'm probably wrong) like a hardware issue. After all, I doubt a corrupt song file could do that and if you only have 3 applications on it (all of which you have downloaded through the iStore right?) then I highly doubt it to be software related.
I'd take it back to the shop and ask for it to be repaired or better yet a new unit. Don't listen to their rubbish, you've paid for a 3 year guarantee so make sure you get what you want!
I think a corrupt song can mess it up a little though, right. But I just don't know how to find the corrupt song or application. Or maybe it isn't that? I really don't know. Can someone tell me for sure what the problem is? And yes, I get all my applications from the App Store. It's not jailborken either, and there isn't even a jailbreak for the 2nd Gen Ipod Touch...
So how am I suppose to prove to the "Geek Squad" that my Ipod is broken if it randomly chooses to turn off? I can't sit there for fifteen minutes waiting for it to randomly restart so that they can see it, and tell me that it's a hardware issue. Do I just ask them for a new unit? Can I just go to any Apple store, and they can help me? Or is it just not likely that they would help me beacuse I bought it from Best Buy. Anyone know?

  • IPod Touch 32gb 2nd gen can't sync

    I just got my new PC running W7 on a 64bit system. So heres my problem:
    I tried to sync it with my iPod touch 32gb 2nd gen, but then I got that "Error 0xE8000065". So I put it in DFU mode and just synced. Itunes got my touch, loaded the 3.1.2 firmware and tried to install it. At first it worked, but then I got that "Error 0xE8000065" again.
    I'm not using an nVidia ECHI USB chipset and/or a p55-based motherboard, so I couldn't find an answer. I hop you can help my soon, thanks in advance . And please don't mind misspelling, I'm from Germany :P.

  • Is It OK to Get iPod Touch 32GB 2nd Gen?

    Been reading some sites that say Apple Lossy & Lossless files are skipping. I have no idea what these are or do. I just get my music from itunes. Am I going to run into any problems? It seems it is only happening on 32 GB 2nd gen.

    You've obviously been following the thread on the 'skipping' music on the new Touch. I have the 1st Gen. Touch and it is fantastic. Bought my son the new one for Xmas. Am on the second one in less that 2 weeks. Both have had 'skipping' problems. The latest replacement is going back for a full refund shortly if Apple don't sort this problem out. I suggest that you hold off until Apple fix this problem. I don't agree with Sandham "There will always be bugs" You buy the product and expect it to work. The bugs should be ironed out at the R&D stage, not by the customer! (anyway she is using the 1st Gen Touch, which does not have this problem).

  • Just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. The IOS is currently 4.3.5 and when I try to update to the latest, the connection continually times out. Can you help?

    Hi All,
    First ever post on here but I feel that my options are slowly running out. I've just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. It was reset to factory settings meaning that that software was 4.3.5
    As soon as I plug it into iTunes it asks me to update to the latest version. I click for it to go ahead but the connection times out (error code 3259)
    I've been on the phone to apple for over an hour and we still couldn't resolve the issue. We tried disabling the firewall, uninstalling AVG, diabling pop up blockers, checking the LAN settings, disabling the router security and anything else we could think of.
    We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
    Has anyone got any ideas?

    Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download:

    The iPod touch is completely new, no missing contacts etc. It works on other macs as well. Only my iMac doesn't see the iPod Touch. Maybe I can repost this problem in The IMAC section in stead of the iPod Touch, since I think its a iMac problem from now on...

  • Replacement iPod Touch 8GB (2nd Gen) beggining to fall apart after two months!

    Well my problem is plain and simple
    My first iPod touch (8GB 2nd Gen) was working perfectly fine until one day it slipped from my hands and the screen shattered. I took the iPod in to Best Buy and they overlooked the serial number and looked up my plan (product replacement plan) and they took it in and sent it out. They promised me a refurbished or a new iPod touch. They said it should take only about 5 days but it took two weeks, but in all fairness it was around a busy holiday seasons so i can understand the holdup. My Apple warranty was already up when i took the first iPod in for a replacement so i just used my product replacement plan. 2 weeks later i recieved my refurbished iPod in the mail, how could i tell it was refurbished, well for one the back of the iPod was void of any scratches but there was no Apple or "iPod" branding?! They also did not include the headphones used with current and past models, they shipped headphones that were changed years ago to a new design, i tested the headphones, and they were broken. I just said oh well and when i went to plug it in with the "new" cord they included i noticed there were stains all over it and i had to disinfect them (..yuck!) it made me certainly rethink even using the headphones in the first place. One thing that seemed odd to me was that it included OS 3.0 since 2nd gen iPods only ship with OS 2.2.1 and after checking the settings i confirmed it was in fact a sencond generation iPod Touch. After about a week of use i plugged in my headphones and i could only hear through one side, i unplugged them and replugged them and the problem was resolved and i thought it was a fluke, so i just disregarded it but its been a month now and since last week no matter what headphones i use i always get sound from the left channel. I was honestly furious that after only 1 month the ipod it starting to fall apart in front of me. I inspected the iPod closely and noticed that if held a certain way the glass on the lower right coner of the iPod begins to move around. The home button has also failed to respond quite a few times. Then when one day the external speaker started to begin to become flaky and sometimes not work at all, i just said "thats it!" im currently resetting the iPod to factory settings and putting a test sound on it for them to listen to and see the problem. In fact when i received it there was already a test sound on it so i presume there was a problem with the jack previously? I am repackiging everything and am off to geek squad tommorow, if there is any other advice to offer please let me know. Ive treated the iPod like a child after the first one shattered and the device has never been dropped, the screen and the back cover are spotless (minus the small scratches on the back chrome cover just from normal use) the iPod has never been near water and i checked the iPod to see if infact water could have gotten in the iPod and the sticker was still sparkling white, i am sorry Best Buy ive been a customer for years and while do not mean to rant and complain it has only been to months and its already falling apart?! i am sorry that is just not acceptable.

    I just got my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb replacement ipod in the mail two days ago. And i fell that my screen has cracked way to easily. I had my other ipod touch before this one for a year and a half and the screen had never been cracked. But my first two days with this "replacement" ipod has cracked twice. i am willing to take the blame for the first crack as i dropped it in the street and my case didnt do its job, but lasnight i put my hand in my sweatpants pocked only to find small peices of glass. i took out my ipod and there was the problem. a large shatter on the bottom near the homebutton. Seriously 2 cracks in 2 days with my REPLACEMENT after 360+ days and no cracks with my forsure APPLE ipod touch? I doubt my ipod touch screen is even made by apple.

    Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

  • I have i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how in the heck can i updrade it to get better apps.

    i have a i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how do i updrade it to get more apps

    iOS 4.2.1 is the last version of iOS that a 2nd-gen iPod touch can run. If the apps you want require a newer version of iOS, then you'll have to purchase a newer-model iPod.

  • My ipod touch is 2nd gen, can i use this on ym? and how?

    my ipo touch is 2nd gen, can i use this on ym? and how?

    Easy, just download/install the free Yahoo Messenger app.  You need iOS 4.0 or later.

  • I have an iPod touch 32gb 3rd gen (model A1318) and am unable to update it to iOS5.  When I try, I have to update iTunes first, and when I do that, it will no longer recognize my iPod (so I can't update the iOS).  Help?

    If it matters, I'm using a PC that's still running Windows XP, but this isn't my first rodeo, and I know both how to use the software and what applications are and aren't compatible with my computer. 
    I searched the web for answers, most of which amounted to a shrug and a "Meh."  I called Apple support, who took a couple days to look into it, then had a supervisor call me back.  His response, essentially, was a shrug and a "meh."  So I'm kinda stuck.  Any help you folks could give me would be much appreciated. 
    In addition, I've been reading a fair amount on how iOS 5 will cause a whole host of problems with the 32gb 3rd gen touch... is this true?  And has Apple resolved it, or are they essentially force-retiring this model?

    Dear Re_trace,
    Don't you feel cheated and conned by this product. I am 50 years old and from what you write I can see you know a lot more about your computer than I do about mine. Additionally I live in southern Africa (in fact I live in one and work in another, neither of which appear on the drop down list when you start looking at asking Apple directly for help) and feel they shouldn't allow people to sell their products here (I bought it in a shop that sells i-Macs etc. - not off a guy on a street corner!)if they can't offer support.
    I have just been going from error code to another, losing my music that took me hours and hours to install and catalogue/modify in the library etc. and now I've had enough of it.
    Essentially it seems to me we have bought faulty products, and made Apple richer than Microsoft in the process.
    I'm turningmy back on this bloody iPod Touch, giving it to my son to see if he has the ability and interest to get it working, and if he hasn't I'm just goinbg to have to sell it to a sucker who also wants to buy into the dream, until he wakes up to the reality of shoddy product. hours in front of a computer screen, a fortune in downloads (here I only have about 5 to 10 kb per second download speed), trawling the internet looking for people than have also suffered at the hands of an obviously fatally-flawed system.where every time Apple just recommends to install the latest version of iTunes.
    I for one would rather have my money and my wasted time back............
    I know I didn't help, but really I don't have any axe to grind against Apple, it's just that the hype in no way lives up to the reality. Look at all the people begging for anwers to their problems on this web-site! I know the shop in Mozambique won't give me my money back, but Apple should, and if Ford sold cars as reliable as these iPods, they'd be banned from selling them........
    Or am I just too old to realie how exciting it is internettingf all over th eplace to try to fix what is actually an inferior Walkman........
    Good luck solving your problem, and I hope you think that all the effort you are putting in (and which I have now given up putting in), is worth it.
    Hope you solve ht eproblems!

  • Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

    Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

    ... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
    Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
    Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.
    Phil
    Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.

  • Transferring paid apps from 1rst gen ipod touch to 2nd Gen

    Connect the original iPod touch to iTunes, select it, choose Transfer Purchases from the File menu, and then sync them to the new one. Click here and follow the instructions to erase the original iPod touch.
