Itouch 2nd gen wont turn on! randomly shut off

my touch 2ng gen was working fine barely used it. last night i was charging it, sent a text through textplus like always. Look back and its shut off. I try to turn it on but it wont, somehow i got it to work but then it was super laggy, itunes couldnt read it, and the date was set back to 1969 december 31st. It shut off again and i cant turn it back on. I tried sleep + home but didnt work. whyyyyy!

Try restoring it if you can connect it to iTunes.

    Are you using the original USB docking cable (with mini-dock) to connect the shuffle to USB?
    When you connect it to USB, does the shuffle's light come ON in any way?  If so, what does it do?

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

    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:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode.

    - 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.

  • ITouch 4th gen. wont turn on at all, after already being used.

    So i am 15 and i got my brand new 32g iTouch 4th gen for Christmas. Iv had past iPod's so i already knew how to add songs, and what not. My songs are already on the iPod and everything has been working great. I was just on the internet showing my mom this storage bin on kmart, after that i closed down the internet, and pressed the lock button at the top. I then wanted to show her this picture on my lock screen, so i went to turn it on/unlock it, and nothing worked! I tried pressing the lock button, and the home button. I also tried holding each. I also tried connecting it to my computer to see if it would work. It did not. Its stuck on a black screen. Please help!

    Ok i fixed it!! I texted my best friend Ivan. (: You hold down both the lock and home button. As soon as the apple pops up, let go. (or else your data will be erased) then, i let it do its own thing for about 30 seconds and it turned on! yay!(:

  • Apple TV (2) turning on randomly/shuts off, reboots intermittently

    Got my Apple TV just over a month ago on the 9th March, had the initial issue with AirPlay & iTunes but the most recent update solved it. Nowadays though, it seems to turn itself on randomly. Its not just the light coming on, when I change the TV to its input it is indeed on. I take it off & then some time later it turns itself back on. I checked to see if iTunes on my MacBook Pro maybe the cause, like if it was set to play media on the Apple TV but it wasn't.
    Last night when I actually used it, I wanted to check another problem its been having recently. I have the auto-off timer set to 15 mins, so after I finished watching what I wanted through it I waited to see if it would shut off on its own. Just about an hour later it was still on. Then I observed that it would seemingly shut off, but the LED light would blink then it would turn back on stating it lost the network, then 5 seconds later find it & be back to the regular menu screen & this happens ever so often.
    Any suggestions as to what could be the cause & solution?
    Thanks.

    hey,
    been having the same problem every time we turn it on and press a button
    turned off the iPod touch to make sure that wasn't doing anything, and made sure iTunes wasn't open on the laptop.
    still been having the same problems, but thinking about asking in the Apple store
    thanks

  • Someone please help my ipod touch 2nd gen. wont turn on and it tries to start up and it tells me to connect to itunes!

    ok so i have an ipod touch 2nd generation and i have had it for many years.   A few months ago it would not turn on and kept telling me to connect to itunes but the problem is my itunes library is set up at my dads house and i live with my mom.  so i tried connecting it to my laptop to see if it would turn on. well it asked me if i wanted to restore it and i was really tried and couldnt think what restored meant so i clicked yes! and it wiped out my entire library! i was in tears because i had had $50 worth of music and apps that werent backed up!  so i sent my ipod to my dad and got everything sorted out.  but last night i tried to turn my ipod on and it wouldnt turn on so i just plugged it in to charge and left it. i came back to see if it was done and it wouldnt turn on and it told me to connect to the itunes store. i probably have about $50 worth of music that is not backedup this time!  omg i want to cry!  i am smart enough to not pulg in into my laptop because i know what restore means now! and i have tried holding the buttons down and everything and i let it charge all day!  what do i do! please please help me! if i send it to my dads will all of my music that is not backed up sync into my library? or will i lose it all?!?! please please help me!! HELP!!!

    I have the exact same problem :|

    Hi,
