  • IPod Touch Second Generation Can't, no.. Wont, Charge (the poor thing is trying)

    Hello friendly Apple Experts,
    I recently had an unfortunate incident when my iPod touch third generation went for a swim. While we waited for it to recover I dug my old iPod touch second generation out of storage (when it was put it into storage it had been completely restored)
    Initially it took several hours to even begin charging. It would go from Charging Logo --> Apple Logo (loading screen) --> Black Screen, and start over again. Eventually it was juiced up enough to get to the home screen. After this it reverted to it's normal three hours, or so, of charge time. At first it was running like it did when it was first bought, the battery life was still exceptional. So I synced it to iTunes and loaded it right up.
    However, a few days later we dug the other iPod out of the rice and it seemed to be working just fine. So I began to use both, one for travel, the other for at home. Unfortunately the second generation one was put aside for about four weeks and the battery completely drained. Since I had initially rebooted the iPod it had not been completely drained again. At this point, it has been plugged in for several days and goes in a continuous loop of: Charge Logo --> Apple Logo --> Black Screen and then back again. And on yet another sad note, the battery life for the third generation one has been affected very negatively by its little dip.
    To be honest I never wanted the third generation one to begin with, the only reason I bought it was because the second generation’s software became completely obsolete.
    Anyway, my questions are...
    What has happened to my beloved Second Generation iPod touch?
    Is there any way to fix it?
    and...
    Is there anything I can do to prolong the life of the Third Generation device?
    Thanks so much,
    A friendly Apple consumer.

    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 will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes.

    ipod touch (5th generation) won't sync all selected music in itunes version 12.0.1.  Under the summary tab, I've selected "Sync only checked songs and videos."  In the music tab, I've selected the various albums and artists I want.  I click on "sync," and some albums sync, others do not.  Often, only some tracks of the selected albums sync.  Additionally, some albums sync that I haven't even selected.  My computer's operating system is Windows 8.1.  Please help - thank you!

  • IPod touch second generation 4.2

    I have the old and outdated iPod touch second generation with the 4.2 on it and I currently only have the apps that come with it when it's at it's factory setting, and I would like to know how I can get apps that are supported for this operating system without going through the app store and clicking on every app until I find one that will work. Now I do know that's it's considered old but surely there is some way to get apps on this device. I mainly got this to put music, videos, and pictures on and I can do that through iTunes. However, I would like to maybe put Facebook, craigslist, free texting, and possibly a few game apps on my iPod simply because I hate bouncing back and fourth on my phone from text messaging to my Facebook or games or whatever else I may be doing.. Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll get some responses that will be able to help me out

    No dice. There are not that many god apps that currently available for the 2G iPod. There is also no way to search only for compatible apps.
    FB and a lot of other good apps require iOS 4.3 or greater.
    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.

  • Iphone set back to factory settings

    Selling my iphone .
    Went into settings and set back to factory settings and removed the SIM to use in another phone. The other phone is fine but was wondering if it's normal for the iphone without a SIM to only show the keypad / Emergency Call with a small lock on the top middle. In other words, you are not able to go into the IOS and use it for anything ( ipod ) check settings etc without a SIM ? Is this normal ?

    This is normal.  In order to use an iPhone as an iPod without a SIM, it first needs to be activated with a SIM in place (doesn't need to be an activated SIM).  Once the phone is activated, the SIM can be removed. 
    Keep in mind, any iOS upgrade to the phone will require the insertion of a SIM card.  Best is just to leave a deactivated SIM in the phone permanently.

    - 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.

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
