New computer with old Ipod touch 2nd Gen.

New computer, old Ipod, how do I add my music to my new computer from my Ipod?

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Just use your backup copy. This is one of the many reasons that always maintaining a backup is basic.

My old iPod Touch 2nd Gen

I would like to give my old iPod Touch 2nd Gen away since I have purchased a 5th Gen iPod Touch. What should I do to purge my pictures and registration info from the old iPod so the new recipient can setup an iTunes account to get Podcast's downloaded thru iTunes to their new (used) iPod Touch?
This iPod Touch was obtained when my wife and I purchased a MacBook Pro on an educator discount in 2010.
Thanks for any help

Help With Faulty iPod Touch 2nd Gen

I recently brought a ipod toch 2nd gen 16gb model and 2-3 days later the screen just died i guess i took it to a apple retail store in manchester trafford centre U.K and they told me that there is no power going to the screen well it was totally dead and they said ring up and arrange a appointment and they can then replace it there and then for me or fix it if it can be , they would have done it but i was a came late 10 minutes before it closes down and the paper work also needed to be done. So does that mean that i wont have to wait and they will replace it for me without me waiting a awfull long time i have 1 year warranty it expires on the 15th October 2009 , so my point is will they replace it there and then.

If you only had it for 2-3 days, demand a new one not a fix for that one. They should replace it on the spot. Make sure and bring your packaging and all accessories that came with your 2g touch so they have no excuse not to give you a new one.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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.

What is wrong with my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Ive had this iPod since mid 2010. It's running iOS 4.2.1 and it's not jailbroken. A few months ago I encountered a problem with it. It started to fast forward my songs and pause them and skip them as if it had a mind of it's own. I thought it was a one off and it never really happened after that. Yesterday something happened to it which forced it into recovery mode and I had to restore it to factory settings. Today I added some new songs onto it and I starte listening and all I could hear was music and no singing, then I could faintly hear the singing. I thought there was something wrong with the song so I changed it and it was the same with the next one. I've tried 3 different sets of heaphones which all work on other devices so it's not the headphones. So my iPod has kind of turned into a karaoke machine but with some songs it works ok for a while but then messes up. Also I've noticed that the fastforwarding thing has become much much worse after I restored it.
I'm really stuck. What should I do? Everything else works fine on it. All my apps are ok. Just the music player is stuffed. Could the headphone jack be broken? It worked fine yesterday before I restored it. Should I restore it again? I've already tried restarting and resetting it and neither of them worked. Also I don't have much space left on it, should I take off the movie that ive got on it? Maybe the memory is kind of choked up as well? Thanks for any help guys. As I said pretty much everything works fine on it and I'm trying to not buy a new iPod if I can help it. Oh and sometimes when I'm typing and press the backspace button once or twice it goes and deletes everything on it's own. Things run slow-ish as well. Anyway to improve that?
Oh and may I also add when I can hear the singing in the songs sometimes it's normal, sometimes it sounds like they're singing underwater, sometimes it sounds like they're singing live, sometimes it sounds like they're robots...it's not how the songs are meant to sound. They didn't sound like that before and they don't sound like that on my laptop. There's something wrong with my iPod but idk if it's the headphone jack or a software/hardware problem. :/ :(

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Computer Crashes when ipod touch 2nd gen is plugged in

Every time I plug my ipod touch into my computer a blue screen comes up and tells me to shut down my computer immediately. This happened while I still had a warranty on my ipod so I sent it back, got a new one and things worked for a while. It now is happening again and I no longer have a warranty on my ipod.
The blue screen talks about bios and caches on there but I am not a computer person so I don't know what this all means.
Please help

Updating new computer with old iPod

I just received a new computer and installed iTunes on it. My question is, how do I get all the music from my iPod Mini onto the new computer? They're the same songs that are on my old computer. I'm guessing there's a really easy way to do this that I've overlooked. Thanks for any help.

i went and bought an external harddrive and connected to old Computer just copied the Itunes Music file on to it then connected to new computer and Pasted to music folder If you want to spend the money If not then just return it LOL

Very angry with my iPod touch 2nd gen and computers, please help.

Alright, I have access to two computers. One computer has Itunes, alls fine and dandy, expect the computer does not see that my ipod is plugged in at all. The ipod doesn't see that it is plugged in and will not charge. The other computer, after failing to update Itunes, will not allow me to download Itunes. I've uninstalled all of the applications connected with it and it still will not work. A bonus to the fact is that my ipod shows up as a camera. Now I've looked up solutions, tried them out, nothing. I'm about to throw my ipod at my computer.

For the first computer start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
For the second computer, try completely removing and reinstalling all the Apple software:
'Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
That link provides a link for XP.

Does anyone have have problems with an iPod touch 2nd gen?

I have an iPod 2nd generation and it can only handle iOs 4.2.1. The thing that bugs me is that i cant get any of the apps that i want. For example, i cant download instagram because 'my ipod cant handle the new software.' This really irritates me because i honestly dont think there should be a limit to what apps you can and cant get depending on what generation your ipod is. I believe you should at least be able to download a lesser version of the app other than not being able to get it at all.

"I have an iPod 2nd generation and it can only handle iOs 4.2.1."
Correct.
"I believe you should at least be able to download a lesser version of the app other than not being able to get it at all."
You may believe what you like.
You still cannot do this.
Sorry

I think this page has the answer. Apparently, yes, you can with an application called note2self.

Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen compatible with current iPhone earbuds with mic?

I have a friend that wants to talk to me on Skype with an iPod touch 2nd gen, but the earbuds don't have a microphone to talk into.
Is the iPhone earbuds with mic compatible with the Touch Gen 2? Thanks.

I found an Apple brand iPhone stereo headset (with mic) on eBay, but when I try it with my iPod Touch 2G on apps like Skype or QuickVoice, I get a message saying that there is no microphone attached. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
