Itouch 2nd gen continual crashes

My itouch 2nd gen is crashing with a lot of apps. I checked the wired RAM and it's 60%, when I use a program to free the RAM, it crashes too. I've taken off all video, quite a few apps, and this still happens.

Well, I'm afraid of all that I will lose if I restore to factory defaults. Not at all sure that I have everything backed up, or that it's possible to back everything up. This may sound odd, but I have lecture notes on Awesome Note and a ton of books on ebook reader, bn.com (both of which are programs that aren't much supported anymore).

Sounds to me like the battery has failed.
You can take it to an Apple Store. They MAY be able to do something.. Or, you can find parts and "How-To" repair guides on the internet. eBay and Google are your friends...

HT1430 there is a lock icon on my Itouch 2nd gen, screen and i cant get rid of it i have restored it several times and restarted it several times also

What you do mean a lock icon?
On the whole screen or just in the status bar where it shows "iPod" and Time/Battery?
If the icon's there everything's ok. The feature was removed in iOS 6, anyways, the icon should be only in the lock screen.

Itouch 2nd gen. have to renew lease after every sleep mode

Recently my wife and I are having trouble with constantly renewing the lease for internet through wifi in our home. Wife has ipad and I have itouch 2nd gen. Any one know how to fix this. Can't think of any changes except for my itouch upgrading to 4.2.1

Yes, I tried resetting the network on both devices, but was unsuccessful. I did a total reset of the modem and router and the problem remained. Finally, I enabled the RIP which allows the router to send and recieve packets from the ISP. This seemed to have fixed the problem. I have not had to renew lease, since. Thank you for your reply. That was a good start.

i have a itouch 2nd gen which can't update to ios6 and theres no point for me to keep it. Is it possible to exchange to a newer gen of itouch? I dont need the newest gen but an itouch that can be update to ios6.

"Is it possible to exchange to a newer gen of itouch?"
No.
Apple will give you 10% off of a new ipod if you bring an old one for them to send off for recycling.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

CAUTION
Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to your iTunes library. See:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

F apple! why isnt At Bat 12 avalible on itouch 2nd gen

its not fair that i bought my product knowing i can get access to mlb highlights and march madness only for apple to decide im not giving them enough business and make my itouch 2nd gen that i spent 260 dollars on "not capable" of having at bat and ncaa march madness on it! *** there is no reason at bat cant function on an itouch 2nd gen as it has in the past
<Edited by Host>

That is likely beause the developer deceided to drop suport for the 2G iPod, not an Apple decision.

Itouch 2nd gen won't turn on, charge, connect to my computer or go into DFU mode.....any suggestions??

My iTouch, 2nd gen, crashed

My 2nd gen iTouch crashed while using an app. All apps disappeared except for 'Game Centre'. When I hooked it up to my iTunes, it shows 2.3G of 'other' content instead of 'app' content. So I can't just re-install the apps. They are still on the touch but lost there ID. Is there anyway of restoring them back or is the iTouch toast?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

I have a 2nd gen itouch that wont go past apple logo. I did a reset and restore as suggested by some posts but still not working. Itunes can detect the ipod but I cannot do anything with it. Please help. many thanks.

- Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

- Next try DFU mode.

ITouch 2nd Gen - Upgrading from OS 3.1.2 - OS 3.1.3

Is this possible -- when in Itunes all that I can upgrade to is OS 4.02? I do NOT want OS 4.02 on my 2nd Gen ITouch. I just want 3.1.3 (so I can use the new Netflix app along with a few other apps that require at least 3.1.3).
I called Apple and they told me it wasn't possible. I'm sure there is a way.
Thanks much!
Christina

Hello! Thanks for the link, that was such a fast response. I downloaded the file: iPod2,13.1.3_7E18Restore.ipsw -- and I went through the instructions of hitting Shift-Update -- but received this error when finished: The Ipod "Christina's Itouch" could not be updated. An Unknown error occurred (3194). At first I thought it was because I had the older Itunes app.. I upgraded to 9.2.1. Still the same.
Any thoughts?

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?

Why does my ipod touch (2nd gen) keep crashing?

I have had it for about 3 years now. I have the latest version i can possibly update to...
Over the past few months, it has been giving me a fit. Its seems like it has gotten worse...it crashes no matter what app i go to (except a few built in apps that are not very busy, like calculator). Sometimes I may be able to be on an app for 10 minutes without crashing, while other apps wont even let me get to a menu before it crashes. Even some built in apps like safari does it. I'm not sure what to do. Is this normal for the latest version a 2nd gen ipod touch can get? What can I do about this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why cant i Sync rented films to my iTouch 2nd Gen?

Hey, i have an Orange contract, so i have got myself the Orange Free Thursday Film thing. downloaded the first to my iTouch fine, but not watched it yet, got yestardays via the PC, tired to move it to my iTouch to watch it at home on the 2nd Gen Apple TV, it keeps saying "The Ghost" was not copied to the iPod "Tigger" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
Any hints/tips or fixes for this, running latest iTunes and iTouch software. it has 2+ Gb of free space, but still wont let me move the film.

Per the following article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

In ear headphones on itouch 2nd gen

I just bought an in ear headphones with volume adjustable, it does state that it will work on ipod touch 2nd gen
couple of questions
how do I KNOW THAT MY ITOCH IS 2ND GEN????????
is there anithing I have to set up on the itocuh to use the volume adjustable buttons on the headphones????

To The first question, If you've got a rocker on the left hand side of your touch (for volume) that's a 2g touch and the second question, You don't need to do anything to use the volume control play/pause track forward/back, it works out of the box. I've just bought the apple headphones with mike & remote & just plugged them in and they worked without me doing anything
