My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) randomly went black.

It will not do anything. I tried resetting it by holding the power button and home button. That didnt do anything. I tried connecting it to itunes and nothing. Is there anything else I can try?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Is this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if this ipod touch 2nd or 3rd Generation, and what is the difference?
http://www.johnlewis.com/230690655/Product.aspx
& also would this sleeve fit this ipod model?
http://www.johnlewis.com/230680469/Product.aspx
Thanks.
P.s.
I'm hoping to get this soon so would be really appreciative of
your responses.

There is no hardware difference between what people refer to as a "second-generation" and "third-generation" 8GB iPod touch. The only difference is the version of OS included. Since the site says it's "new" I would presume it's the version with the 3.x version of the OS, but I'd suggest confirming with John Lewis.
As to the case, I don't believe there's any difference in the physical specs between the 2nd-gen and 3rd-gen hardware, so any case that fits one should fit the other.
Regards.

Can ipod touch 2nd and 3rd generation have a new battery put in? if so whats the cost?

please help

Depends on whether you have Apple do the job or a third party repair company (which is usually a little less). Here are Apple's repair quotes.

Travel adapter for IPod touch 32 GB 3rd generation

Dear All,
I do have a brand new IPod touch 32 GB, 3rd generation. As I will be travelling to the US I need a travel adapter. The travel adapter offered by Apple is per description only compatible with the 1st and 2nd generation.
Are you experienced? Does the original equipment also fit to the 3rd generation?
Thanks for your help in advance

There was a time when my iPod earphones bonked out. The volume/remote control did not work and the same things that you all said happened (i.e.: voice control turns on and off by itself, songs shuffle on their own, the song turns chipmunky, etc.) but these stopped when I took out the earphones. I replaced them with a new pari and all these did not recur.
My guess is that when the speakers/earphones you use have a problem with the plug thingy (the one where you plug into the unit), this may cause these erratic behaviors. Try replacing the speakers/earphones and see what happens.
I have since brought my earphones to the shop since my unit was still under warranty, and they have replaced it with a new pair. It's working perfectly now.

Ipod shuffle 2nd and 3rd generation

is the 3rd generation shuffle able to use the 2nd generation dock. speaker...
looks like it uses the headphone jack like the 2nd generation, if they are the same size and interchangable????

No compatibility with the 2nd gen dock... and no compatibility between the
3rd gen audio plug<->USb cable and the 2nd gen shuffle.
As far as audio connections are concerned, the audio out for both work with
any device accepting audio at the levels the shuffles put out.

Ipod touch 2nd and 3rd refurb

hey guys,
around when do you think the 3rd gen. refub will come out?
m planning to buy a 2nd gen refurb and i was wondering if the price will go down if the 3rd gen. refurb will show up..
thanks

No one could answer that for you. Considering the 3rd gen is less than a month old it will probably take some time for refurb ones to appear. All you can do is keep checking.

My ipod touch was fully charged and just went black.

The home button and lock button wont do anything no matter how long I press them either at the same time or apart. Any suggestions?

I have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. Recently, it doesn't recognize headphones and will only play music through it's speakers. I've tried cleaning the area where you plug in the headphones but this has not helped. What should I do?

My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself
iPod Touch Repair – iFixit
It i likely not worth getting it fixed if a bad headphone jack

How can I determine if my Ipod Touch 8gb is a 2nd or 3rd generation?

I purchased a MacBook Pro in September when they were having the special where you could get an Ipod Touch 8 gb for free.
Well, I have decided to keep my old Ipod Touch just b/c it is working fine and I would like to sell my new one. The new one is in the original packaging and I don't want to remove it so I can sell it as new, never been out of the box.
My question is how can I tell if this is a 2nd or 3rd generation Ipod Touch? I looked on my invoice and couldn't figure it out. I noticed on CL and EBay, everyone indicates 2nd or 3rd and I want to have the correct info.
I am "guessing" it is 2nd generation and that is why it was part of the promotion.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

That isa correct, the 8 GB is still 2nd Gen. The only ones that are any different are the 32 or 64 GB versions. This is a 2nd Gen iPod.
