My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn or do anything when plugged into my computer

my ipod wont turn on or do anything while connected to the computer and ive tried everything from holding down the wake and home button to reseting it and nothing will come up on the screen

- Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to computer and try to restore.
- Next try DFU mode.

  • 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!!!

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    - 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

  • I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
    NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)
    The above is from:

  • Can i not have Icloud if i have ipod touch 2nd gen? Can i do anything to update generation?

    Can i not have Icloud if i have ipod touch 2nd gen? Can i do anything to update generation?

    Nope, you're done.  To get  iCloud you need at least a 3rd generation Touch.  And, you CANNOT upgrade your 2nd Gen to make it a 3rd Gen..

    Hello I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen and it wont turn on or charge. I have pluged it into a wall 4 days ago and its been charging in multiple outlets (such as computers and walls) and its been displaying a red battery with a lightning symbol.

Also when I plug it into a computer it doesnt show up on itunes, as additional info it is a 8gb black ipod touch 2ng gen, no camera, and ios 4.1. Thank you
