  • 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.

  • 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 8GB 3rd Gen is acting slow.

    I just got my iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen and it acts slow whenever I try to use youtube, mail, safari and whatever else that needs wi-if. I restored it twice, but no luck. What should I do?

    For the past 2-3 months everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update the software through itunes I have issues.  I have tried download and install option and the download only option.  When the progress bar gets to 100 % downloading and switches to start to install I get an error message that says something like connection issue/timed out/network something.  My internet is working so what am I doing wrong when I didn't used to have this problem?

  • IPod Touch 8GB 1st Gen squealing kind of sound problem.

    I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch 8GB and recently it's been making a really bad squealing noise whenever a sound is emitted from the device and when I listen to music or watch Youtube the sound just crackles and dies and is overtaken by this squealing noise and then just yesterday the squealing died down and no sound comes out of it at all now.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be? I hope the inbuilt speaker hasn't died for good cos I cannot afford to buy a new iPod at the moment.
    I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

  • Can I updated my iPod touch 8GB 2nd generation?

    Hi.. I have a old iPod touch with ios 2.2 and i try to update it but I couldn't do it, because a mistake takes off "iTunes couldn't restore ur iPod error (-1)". What Can I do?

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Laggy IPod touch 8gb 3rd gen?

    Why is my itouch so laggy with iOs 4? Is apple going to fix this problem?

    Hello MrWuggles,
    I would first like to address that there is no true 8gb 3rd gen. Your ipod has the same hardware as the ipod touch 2nd gens but was preloaded with updated software when sold. Therefore it does not have multitasking like the other person said was your problem. Your ipod might be laggy with iOS 4 because the hardware is not as fast as the ipod touch 3rd gens(32gb/64gb) and 4th gens.
    I have a 2nd gen and experienced lag using iOS 4.0 but it was definitely improved with iOS 4.1. Make sure your ipod is updated to 4.1. Then your problem should be solved. If it isn't you could always try a full restore to refresh your ipod, but this probably won't do much for you and should be used as a last effort.
