My 2nd gen. ipod touch wont download apps

Whenever I try to download a game on my ipod touch (its uploaded to the newest version) the icon pops up and the loading bar is on the icon but it never fills up and after a couple seconds it just disappears! I've already turned it off and back on to see if that would work and it didn't! I deleted a lot of pictures and videos and other apps and I have a ton of open memory, but I can't figure out whats wrong! Help! i don't have time to go to the apple store and there isn't one nearby anyway, and the internet connection is good. I've never had this problem before and I have good Wi-fi so I dont know what to think. HELP!

I had this issue before and it was related to security restrictions set on the touch itself
On the touch itself go to: Settings->General->Restrictions 
If there is a restrict for Installing Apps the Apps page will be greyed out in itunes

  • 2nd gen ipod touch wont turn off?!?!?!

    I have a 2nd gen ipod touch that will not turn off even when plugged in. Its fully charged and ive restored it a couple times.  I dont know what to do with it. Help?

    Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 2nd gen iPod touch's music app crashes

    It will crash as soon as a song is selected while headphones are plugged in. It won't even go to the Now Playing screen; it will just hang on the highlighted song for a few seconds and then crash. Works fine when nothing is plugged in, though. Sometimes it will work completely fine, but after restoring the iPod, the problem seems to have worsened after a day of perfect operation.
    The iPod was a gift from a friend, and he had it for a while, so I don't think there's a warranty on it anymore. Help please??

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothiong is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yu still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    You can check your warranty by entering the SN here:

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch - 3rd party apps work for 1 day, next day they crash

    Hello I have a brand new 16gb Touch with 2.1.1 software.
    My problem is any application from the app store will work fine for 1 day and then the next day when I attempt to open the program it just loads for a second and then crashes back to the home screen. The only thing that works is uninstalling and reinstalling the apps which gets very annoying. It does this everyday though. They will perfectly all day long until I go to bed. Once I wake up and check they just crash. They won't work with the iPod plugged into the PC or with it not and powercycling doesn't make a difference. Only reinstalling them seems to work then the next day they are toast again. Any ideas? Is this thing bad and needs to go back?

    I had this problem - did a Restore (having backed up) and found my Apps (all of which had stopped working) NOT on the IPT, but in the Apps folder in iTunes (not sure I'd ever noticed them there before). Couldn't get them on the IPT by Synching etc. THEN - tried open an App from the iTunes window and got the "Computer not authorised to play ...etc" Re submitting the authorisation request just told me I was already authorised, but then did Sync and Apps all ok back on IPT
    now, will they stay working for more than a few days????

    If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of ab Apple store is in order since you appear to have a hardware problem. The apointment is free.

  • HT204266 is there a way to get older versions of apps? I have a 2nd gen ipod touch with ios 4.2.1

    is there a way to get older versions of apps - for a 2nd gen ipod touch with ios 4.2.1

    The only way is to jailbreak and download cracked apps, but I would recommend you wouldn't do that as this is piracy and jailbreaking is illegal in some countries.

  • 2nd gen iPod touch YouTube app can't search YouTube

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

    Nothing.  The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life.  If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

  • Downloading HD videos on a 2nd gen. iPod Touch?

    Hey guys!
    I'm having some difficulty downloading some newer HD videos on my 2nd gen. iPod touch (Legend of Korra episodes if you must know). Two of them aren't downloaded on, one of them I have no clue why, and the other "The Voice in the Night", cannot be played on the iPod (even though the other ones can). I'm wondering if I can change the video so I can download it onto my iPod without buying it again.
    Thanks!
    P.S.
    The other episode is "The Revelation", and it just won't download for no reason (iTunes doesn't notify me that it won't either).

    Should work fine, it is a USB power adaptor.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch keeps force closing apps. what should i do?

    my wife gave me her old 2nd gen ipod touch when she got a new one. she cleared off all the data and did a factory reset. a couple of weeks goes by and my apps keeps force closing on me. its getting really annoying escpecially when i try to play games or go on facebook. i checked for updates and its has the latest 4.2.1. its not a space issue either; i have 6.83 gigs left. i really dont want to do a restore...can anyone give me any tips or advice on what to do about this problem?
    thanks!

    A restart does nothing to the data.  Try this first.
    A reset does nothing to the data.  Try this if  restarting does not help.
    If restart and restore do not solve it then restore from backup.
    If that fails then restore as new.

  • Can I put iOS 5 on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

    Hello, I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I cannot get any apps because I have an older ios. Can anyone help me?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod Touch won't upgrade

    Hi, I purchased my 2nd gen Ipod Touch in 2009 and since then I was able to upgrade to 3.1.2. A year ago when I tried to upgrade higher, itunes would take forever to back up. A small loading window appeared and it stayed that way for hours. Itunes crashed.
    Yesterday I was able to complete a successful manual backup of my ipod touch using the latest itunes software. This time itunes didn't crash and it lasted 15 hours.
    But when I clicked on the upgrade button again, the small window appeared and itunes froze again. Before doing this I also made sure to have 2.3 GB of capacity available and I got rid of my largest apps.
    Is it possible to upgrade to 4.0? I have read previous discussions and people don't have a problem with upgrading. 
    I use Windows XP and I downloaded the latest itunes.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod Touch screen just went dim

    On my 2nd gen ipod touch my screen just went dark, no "backlight" or brightness. I'vwe turned off the auto brightness, I've restored the whole ipod and I am running iOS4.1. Up until today I have had no problem like this. I, of course, can't find anything on the forums similar to this. When I bring the ipod out of sleep I have a lit screen until I slide the bar to unlock, then boom no light. If I catch the screen in the right light I can see the apps, but other than that, NO Deal. Is there a fix??? Is anyone else having this problem???
    thanks
    Tim

    Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
    I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1.  It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up.  The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time.  the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file.  Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
    Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.
