Itouch 2nd gen not functioning

I still have the itouch 2nd gen .
its not working properly , it doesnt let me slide to unlock it everytime and it doens sensor your finger at all .
and i cant download any app anymore

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

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...

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. 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.

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).

Why is my itouch 4 gen not charging

Why is my itouch 4th gen not charging? It also says charging is not supported with tis accesory.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

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

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

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.

IPod Touch (2nd gen) not recognized by computer and iTunes

When I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, running Windows 7, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my iPod. Everything worked before with Vista.
When I plug the iPod into the computer the iPod does turn on put the battery doesn't charge and the iPod does not show on the Device Manager.
I have gone through and uninstalled and the reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application support. With no positive result. In fact I have done it twice.
In going back to make sure everything had installed I have noticed several things.
The Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes folders and Common Files are located in Program Files(x86) There are also copies of the Bonjour, iPod, Common Files, and iTunes folders are also located in the Program Files folder. Are these file locations correct?
Also, I have read somewhere that there should be usbaapl.cab, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl.sys files. I can't find any of these file. Are these files necessary?
Any help will be appreciated.

greetings rkonrv and welcome to Apple discussions !
it seems your have seen this KG then.
maybe this tip by Beebopp (though a little off topic) will provide some pointers:
+This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.+
+Here are the steps:+
+1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"+
+2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account+
+3. Single left click on START+
+4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)+
+5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)+
+6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)+
+7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)+
+8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties+
+9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab+
+10. Single left click on " Update driver "+
+11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista+
+12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown+
+13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "+
+14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.+
+15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.+
+16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.+
+17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.+
good luck !

- 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?

2nd gen, not syncing contacts with new mini

I have just moved from a G5 to a Mac mini, iTunes moved fine, when I notice my contact were not updating I told my 2nd gen iTouch to sync with the mini. Now my contact on the iTouch are empty, I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini.

What does this mean: " I can ad new with the iTouch the show on my mini."
What I suspect is that when you synced the iPod to the new computer iTunes erased the iPod and replaced its contents with what was in the library of the new computer.

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.

IPod Nano 4Gb (2nd Gen) not detected by Windows or iTunes

I am hoping someone can help me with this as I am at my wits end.
When I plug my iPod into the usb port, it begins the charging process, but neither windows, nor iTunes will detect any new devices. I have tried the 4 R's (the fifth needs a connection with iTunes), putting it into disc mode, and even on 3 different windows computers, but no dice. To save the no doubt normal questions, The usb ports are 2.0, and brand spanking new, which i have tested sucessfully with other usb devices, so I know it's not the usb port. I have the latest drivers & updates installed, and the latest version of iTunes also installed.
Other potentially useful info:
The model is iPod nano 4bg alu 2nd gen
It's not new, i was given it as a gift by a friend who upgraded to the video model.
Though I can't be sure, I suspect that the dock cable isn't an apple product. Given that *very few* places where I live sell official iPod accessories, it is difficult for me to check.
Like I said, i really hope someone can help me, I really don't know how long i can go listening to my friends rather dubious music tastes...
