My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?
As said in the question, my ipod touch will not connect to the newest version of itunes. When I plug it in, my compter recognizes that a device has been connected, yet it will not show up in itunes. I didn't have this problem until I just updated to the new itunes. Someone help please!

It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

It keep telling me to reinstall? i dont know why?
maybe this:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I really can't tell since I do not know what "it" is. Reinstall what? -
2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on
My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on. I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen. When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either. I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged. There is no way it could be dead. It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.
- Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
- Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore 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.
- Next see if recoverymode will make the iPod visible. For recovery mode see:

2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store? Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?
Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one. -
I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I have not updated the software from version 2.2.1. When I connect to iTunes to update to 4.2, I keep getting an error message. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a way to fix it?
Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books
My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
How do I fix this?The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
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.
- Unsync all music and audion book and resync
- 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:
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.

Will iOS5 become available for 2nd generation iPod Touch?
I thought iMessage would be the perfect solution for texting while I am abroad, only to find that 2nd generation iPod touch isn't compatible? That's ridiculous. Anyone know if it will become available??
same as for iphone3G which is hardwareside comparable to the 2nd gen touch.
iOS5 needs 256MB of Ram to start with, as well as certain features in the CPU that were not available before the iphone 3GS and the iPod touch 3rd gen.
So your device is now maxed out . Enjoy it as it is. -
2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook
Hello all,
So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.

Yes. However, for a Mac you need at least OSX 10.5.8. For the 2G, you can't go past 4.2.1. You can identify your iPod model here:

What iOS do you have on the iPod?
Did it every connect to your computer with that iOS?
The latest iOD for the 2G is 4.2.1 and that required a Mac with 10.5.8 or later.
