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.
- 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.

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

IPod keeps taking screen shots by itself
I've tried rebooting and restoring to its factory settings on numerous occassions... It still hasn't helped.
Also, whenever I open an app or anything it goes right back to the home screen then to the search option
The buttons don't seem to be stuck or anything either.When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch (2nd generation) is stuck on the usb to itunes screen. I have NOT jailbroken it, and i have also tried restarting numerous times. I need help, soon! Itunes on my computer works about 50% of the time, so i feel lost!
Download RecBoot and see if you can kick it out of recovery mode.
Basic troubleshooting steps.

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.
MimiIt means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

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. -

since upgrading my iPod touch 2nd generation to (4.2.1) it keeps closing itself down and I have great difficulty turning it back on. HELP
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 -
I recieved an apple ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now it is stuck on a screen with an adaptor showing with the itunes music symbol at the top of the screen.
Restore...
Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
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. -
Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation
Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
1. with the help of any android app
2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
I did try some of the options:
1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
Thank you!If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
