My iPod touch 2nd generation(8 gb) is constantly showing the red slider bar and is turning the volume up.

I've had my iPod for two or three years now, and it has never shown any problems other than this. It acts as if I am holding down both the volume button and the power button, which I am not. It makes it impossible to listen to music without blowing out my eardrums and it won't let me navigate the app pages. So far, i have held the power buton and home screen for ten seconds, i have turned it off then back on, and i have let it sit for a day. I have never dropped it, stepped on it, or let it get wet, so I have no clue how to solve this.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    Hi lllaass,
    unfortunately that didn't work.
    I turn my iPod on by using the bottons on the top and the front, I get the apple logo, the iPod comes on, then goes off (battery FULL)
    Had no problems until the upgrade !!!!
    So sure it's the software and not the iPod itself.
    Thanks

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation goes from apple logo to low battery symbol when trying to turn it on.  Won't show up in itunes either.  Is it a dead battery? Help please.

    Hi, I have a 2nd Geration iPod touch.  The ipod will NOT go past the apple logo when turning on.  After about three minutes of waiting the screen will go blank.  So, I push the sleep/wake button and the low battery symbol appears, indicating that the ipod is being charged.  After about three minutes the ipod goes to sleep.  Wake up and the red battery shows up again but this time the apple logo appears after about three minutes and stays on for 5 minutes before going to sleep again.  When you wake it up it is on the red battery again. and the process repeats. The battery symbol never increases from the low mark.(no matter how long I charge it.)  It also gets a little bit hot after a while.  The ipod will NOT show up in iTunes either.  Please help thank you.

    If not successfl then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Maybe a battery.

  • The screan on my ipod touch 2nd generation doesn't work anymore. I tried restoring it and all but it didn't help at all

    What should i do?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it for a 2G

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again may not be worth it.

  • We have two iPod touch 2nd generations, one had to be restored a few days ago and is now not able to have some of the apps back on it saying that they are incompatible with the iPod. Is there any way to "copy" the apps from 1 to the other??

    Is there any way to get an older version of the app that can be compatible or to "copy" the app from one iPod to the other?
    Or maybe to update the opperating system??

    you can by downloading iTunes to your computer/laptop but before plugging it in to the computer make sure all of your apps are on it then just sync the restored iPod to your computer and all of the apps on the computer will go to your iPod.. Good Luck

  • My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus.  Had to wipe it clean.  Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer.  What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch.  Any suggestions?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Why dont they make IOS 5 for ipod touch 2nd generation

    this is crap they shouldn't stop updateing the ipod touch 2nd generation like what they did to the first. i dont want to keep buying a new ipod touch every year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Like any other device that uses software, the older hardware cannot run the newest software.
    This is completely normal in every way.
    You do  not have to buy every year.  The 3rd gen was released two and a half years ago and can run ios 5.
    How many years should it be?

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Screen Cracked

         My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation got a nice cracked in the screen. It still works fine the crack just bothers me. I have been reading up and i have heard alot of people took it into apple and the fixed or replaced it for free. I was just wondering if this is true. Or if there is another way to get it fixed without having to pay over 80 dollars. I don't want to try and repair it myself because I am not very confident in myself.

    That looks like an acceptable screen. you want one that comes fully assembeled with a frame and home button. There's numerous how to videos on youtube.

    Hi Imminnie,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

  • I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.I want to purchase games from the app store like Temple Run but it says I can't.Is there a way to update this ipod?

    I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?

    You can update it to 4.2.1
    Open itunes, connect ipod.  If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update.

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Froze And Is Trying To Install ALL Of My Apps!

    A few hours ago my ipod touch 2nd generation froze, and then it took about 15 minutes to unfreeze. Now it's working very slow. I soon realized that it's trying to istall ALL of my apps I've downloaded since I got my ipod. I had to attempt to shut off the wifi so it would stop. right now over 25 apps are on Pause. I don't want to restore my ipod because I last did a backup about a few months ago. My computer is out of memory, and it's a very slow computer. I recently send an email to apple because of an issue I had with two missing itunes store purchases that it deleted off of my ipod when I connected it with itunes. They never emailed me back and it's been over 24 hours. Could apple be attempting to send me back ALL of the things I've purchased and downloaded with my account? If they are, IT'S NOT FUNNY
