No Internet connection on my 2nd gen ipod touch?

Okay, so i have a second gen ipod touch that used to connect to the internet, but now it doesnt. and yes the wifi will be on. Is it because the ipod has to much data on it? its 16 gb and has about 7 gb on it. anyone know whats going on?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow 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."

2nd Gen iPod Touch connect to new Accessories

How can I connect my 2nd Gen iPod Touch to a NEW iHome Player which only has a lightning (male) plug? Apple's $30 adapter is backwards. This implies NO old gen iPods will work with NEW accessories. Is this correct?

The iPhone comes with a one-year warranty at no cost. Anythime before that warranty is expired you can purchace an additional one year of coverage.

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
Then 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.
- Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??

i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

2nd gen iPod touch+iOS 4.2.1=problems

Hi!I have a 2nd gen iPod touch which has iOS 4.2.1 I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy microphone headset. Since I have iOS 4.2.1 on the iPod, it skips tracks, stops in the middle of the track and starts to play another one or just simply puts itself into FFW or stops while in my pocket. I'm using the device with this Samsung Galaxy earphone/mic combination for a long time, however I had no problems with it under earlier iOS versions. The shuffle for shake option is switched off in the settings of the iPod. Why is my iPod still going crazy in my pocket? Even when the screen is locked?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. 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
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.
If you still have the problem then you may have a problem with the headphones. Maybe a bad connection or intermitent short/open.

2nd Gen iPod Touch stuck in restore mode

My Friend recently gave me his 2nd gen ipod touch that he no longer uses as a gift, i decided to restore it so i could put my music on it and remove all the apps that were on there because i wanted more space for music, while restoring i came across a problem, an error message popped up and said, "The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored, an unknown error occured (2003)." i have the latest version of itunes installed and ive tried everything mentioned in the following article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307219, this ipod was fully functiong before i attempted to restore it and now its stuck in restore mode and will not work at all, i do not feel like paying to talk to an apple representitive to help me with a problem that shouldn't be happening in the first place so if someone could help me here that would be greatly appreciated.

Well i had kinda the same problem. I pressed the wake/sleep button and the home button for 10 seconds. Then it shuts down. You connect it to iTunes and says this iPod was in restore mode, and continues or starts again. Hope can help!

2nd Gen Ipod Touch screen just went dim

On my 2nd gen ipod touch my screen just went dark, no "backlight" or brightness. I'vwe turned off the auto brightness, I've restored the whole ipod and I am running iOS4.1. Up until today I have had no problem like this. I, of course, can't find anything on the forums similar to this. When I bring the ipod out of sleep I have a lit screen until I slide the bar to unlock, then boom no light. If I catch the screen in the right light I can see the apps, but other than that, NO Deal. Is there a fix??? Is anyone else having this problem???
thanks
Tim

Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1. It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up. The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time. the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file. Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.

2nd gen iPod Touch - screen - contrast ratio issue?

hello
i was wondering if anyone else have this problem / issue
what i notice in the 2nd gen ipod touch compare to the the 1st gen touch
is the the differences in contrast of the screen
1st gen ipod touch appears to be darker
and 2nd gen ipod touch lighter or "washed out"
the black in the 2nd gen doesnt appears to be black black, if anyone knows what im talking about
and when comparing to the magenta or blue 2nd gen also appears lighter
mind you i have set both brightness setting to FULL bright and NO Auto-brightness
i can understand that there is off course difference in LCD but the difference is quite noticeable
if anyone else have this issues please voice your concern I hope im not the only one out there.
i would ideally prefer the screen contrast to be in between the washed out of my 2nd gen ipod touch and the 1st gen ipod touch
and is there a way to fix it?
cheers

2nd gen iPod touch - Factory restore not working

I'm trying to factory restore my 2nd gen ipod touch. I figured I could simply choose the factory reset in the setting and it would do it's thing. Now it says it needs to connect to iTunes in order to complete the process. However, when I plug my phone into my (windows) PC, iTunes doesn't recognize it. It makes the normal sounds and starts charging, so I know the PC recognizes that it's connected, but iTunes will not. now, I can't do anything on the ipod - it just sits there like a brick, help!

Tap Settings > WiFi > your network name (or at least the one with the check mark). Tap the little blue > next to the name. Look at Device IP - if it starts with 169.x then your router has not issued you an IP address
You also should have "Renew Lease" and "Forget this Network" buttons. Try pressing Renew Lease to see if you then get a valid response from your router.
If this doesn't work you can try these things:
1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug back in). If this doesn't fix it, try disabling security to rule that out.
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
There is more troubleshooting info [in this support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398].
Hope this helps.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.
