My Ipod touch 2nd generation stopped making sound

I have had my ipod for many years so I know it doesn't fit under this topic but none of them did... All of a sudden last night my ipod touch 2G just stopped making sound for music or notifications even with headphones. I restored it from itunes but no help, I reset from Ipod touch but no help, then I went to google & was able to get the sound back only with headphones. Can someone please tell me how I can get my sound back! My ipod is my life, I think I might die without it! jk lol

It is not clear from your question if the restore was from backup or what. Have you tried restoring it to factory defaults/new iPod via iTUnes. Not from backup.

  • 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.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stopped working..totally dead!

    Hey.
    Hoping that someone out there can help me out..my 2nd generation Ipod Touch has stopped working..wont charge..wont turn on..nada! It did the same thing last week but eventually it charged up and worked again. However this time its totally unresponsive.
    I used it last night..turned it off and awhile later tried to turn it on again but it didnt respond. I tried to charge it overnight but its completely dead. I plugged it into a computer and a window appeared to say that everything is updated but still nothing. When I unplugged it and tried again the wondow did not appear.
    Its had connectivity issues for awhile now but I assumed initially that it was just dodgy internet connections rather than a problem with the Ipod itself..clearly not!!
    Ive tried all the solutions offered on the Apple website but it appears to be totally dead. I only bought it in February this year..its an Apple refurbished model.
    Aside from the obvious frustration of now not being able to use it..to complicate matters I'm travelling in South America for the forseeable future so dont have readily available access to a Apple dealer etc.
    As its still relatively new I should be covered by the warranty but just wondering what anyone out there would advise I do in order to either get it repaired or replaced given that I'm travelling etc.
    Theres no authorized dealers in Cusco where I'm currently living..there appears to be one in Bolivia where I'm heading in a few weeks but I dont even have my receipt with me so I'm not even sure I can get it fixed under the warranty.
    Would really appreciate any advice from someone that is a bit more familiar with Apple products and/or has some advice about warranties etc.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Any chance this could simply be a battery issue????? I do use it a **** of a lot..! Anyone any idea how much new batteries are?

  • Apple TV not working with Ipod Touch 2nd generation? No sound.

    Has worked perfectly the past month and I can still stream youtube via the ipod touch with sound.
    However I can no longer play music from ipod touch to Apple tv. Issue started about 10 days ago.
    Could this be due to some updates?
    Similar issue when trying to play from Spotify, used to work perfectly.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried restarting the iPod or the Apple TV yet.

  • My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    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.

  • There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo  headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

    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,

    - If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:
    iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
    - Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery.  However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Generation Updates

    Did Apple stop making updates for the iPod Touch 2nd generation because the hardware's old?

    Correct. You need to buy a newer model if you want the latest iOS.

  • 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

    - 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.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation wont turn on or show up on itunes or charge help!

    my ipod touch 2nd generation version 3.1.3. all o0f a sudden had stopped charging and will no longer show up in itunes.when i tried charging it that day it wouldnt charge and now its dead. i tried charging it back up and wont charge and when i try to turn it on it only shows the apple with black background and turns off again.any suggestions please text (574) 344-6625 or email [email protected] or [email protected]

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                          
    Also:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates 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.

  • Can you set a song as an alarm on iPod touch 2nd generation?

    Hi all -
    I have a daily morning alarm set on my iPod touch 2nd generation, and have a standard (blues) Ringtone, but would like to jazz it up a little by playing a song from my music library, and not the standard tone. Any possible way to do that witha second gen. iPod touch?

    I added the song "Let Me Take You Home Tonight" by Boston by going to the iTunes Music Store and purchasing it as a ringtone.  If you do it from your computer you have to sync it to your iPod Touch.  Then in the alam sounds panel there is a place for "purchased"  Your song should appear there.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation getting unknown error -1 message while trying to update to 4.2 disabled the security still get message any suggestions?

    While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

    Since Apple says:
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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 - no upgrade possible?

    I bought my iPod Touch Model MC086NF on 01/04/2010. It now appears it was of the "first" 2nd generation, i.e. without the 3rd generation software.
    "Following the introduction of the 3rd generation iPod Touch, Apple also continued offering the 2nd generation 8 GB version, upgraded to the same iPhone OS version as the new 3rd generation devices. The iPod Touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. Apple as well sold many refurbished iPod Touch 2nd generation models with the 3rd generation software effectively making them a 3rd generation unit. These can be identified by software version 4.3.5."
    My version is 4.2.1 and it took me quite a while to find out why I couldn't upgrade to iOS 5. I'm furious about this as it appears I'm stuck with a device that cannot be upgraded anymore. Apple doesn't mention this anywhere of course (I found the detailed data on Wikipedia). The shop didn't mention anything about this of course.
    Does anyone know about a "fix" for this?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Paule

    There is nothing to fix.
    The 2nd gen ipod can only support 4.2.1.
    What does Apple "not mention"?

    i just bought a ipod touch 2nd generation from my friend. i already updated the iOS to a 4.1. i found out i couldnt get icloud. but how do i get mobileme on it?? please help!!!

    You can't.  Apple stopped new subscriptions to Mobil Me a long time ago. AmobleMd shuts down in June of this year. This is what you can do:
