My iPod touch (2nd generation) has started to act very odd following a sync I performed 2 days ago!
It switches on & off at random, will not let me adjust the volume and has also started to take screenshot pictures whenever I press the home button. To top it all off, it also switches off whenever I press the volume up button.
I have done a factory reset but the problems still persist.
These problems never occured prior to the sync and Apple want £80 to replace the item.
Help!
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?
So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow. -

my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download
Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,

Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?
I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&cid=acs::itunes_help
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
i tried a couple more but i lost the links of them.
when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!

I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I am thinking of upgrading so should I go for the latest ipod touch or for the ipad mini?
It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim xi saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)

How do I get the latest ios update on my iPod touch 2nd generation?
My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1. I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system when I know that ios 6 has just come out. This is frustrating because since the operating system is still ios 4, it is very slow and crashes frequently. Since it is so slow, I have begun to use it less and less for certain things because it is so slow.
"My iPod touch 2nd generation won't update past ios 4.2.1. "
That is absultely correct.
" I have tried many different times, but everytime I try, a message pops up saying that ios 4.2.1 is the highest operating system"
That is also correct. Ios 4.2.1 is the latest available software for the ipod touch 2nd gen -
IPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 will not Restore/Reset
I have an iPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 that has gone into disabled mode. The Apple instructions for putting my device into recovery mode are not working and I have a new computer that has never connected/synced with this iPOD before :-( . iTunes just keeps telling me it can't connect to the ipod because I need to type my password into my ipod. IPOD screen still just says disabled. I have tried to get it into restore mode so many times that the "power off slider" won't appear on screen anymore when I hold down the sleep/wake button. The screen just goes black. When I press the home button the disabled screen pops up again. Do I need to take my iPOD to an apple store? The iPOD is named with my name and I have my ID to show the iPOD is mine so will they help me at the store? I have been researching for hours it seems and I just can't find further help on restoration/reset. Side note: was my daughters old iPOD and she does not remember what the password is. Ugh... teenagers! thanks ahead of time.
No reason for an Apple store visit. It not an ID problem at all
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
