No more podcasting on 2nd gen iPod touch?

On my 2nd gen iPod touch, Podcasts no longer show up in Music app. However, since it only runs ios 4.2.1, the podcast app is not available. The podcasts do sync from iTunes and are on my iPod since they are showing up through search. But when selected, the Music app opens but does not show or play the podcast. Any help or solutions?

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.
- Unsync all podcasts and resync
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
Thanks in advance.

I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

HD Video's Won't Play on 2nd Gen Ipod Touch

I recently bought a 2nd gen ipod touch, i had owned one before, but that was when HD videos were basically just starting, so i had never had problems with getting tv shows on my ipod, i have recently downloaded 2 HD episodes of Family Guy, but whenever i try to put them on my ipod an error comes up that they aren't a supported format, is there a way i can trade these HD versions for SD versions, or a way that i can get a converter that can put them in the right format? (When i looked on itunes, i only saw hd episodes, because it was season 9 of family guy, i have no clue if there are any SD versions, so a converter would be the most helpful)

HD is NOT supported on the 2nd gen ipod touch.
Every time you download HD content, the SD version automatically is downloaded as well. Sync this version, not the HD version.
I would guess that there is an SD version/ Look more closely.

Can I put iOS 5 on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

Hello, I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch and I cannot get any apps because I have an older ios. Can anyone help me?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

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 sleep/wake button will not work

Like the title says, the sleep/wake button (top button) doesn't work on my 2nd gen ipod touch. In short, I can't put it into sleep mode (I have to wait the one minute), turn it off to save the battery, take screenshots, or even reset it (without iTunes, anyways).
I don't have any guesses on why it's not working. It just stopped working one day. I don't see water damage (via the water damage detector in the earbud jack), and I don't think I dropped it in a way that would harm it (unless dropping it on carpet counts).
I should also mention that randomly, one day after school, I was messing with it, and the button worked. I think the battery had died, and I managed to turn it on then. It worked for a few hours (I charged the battery), and then it went back to not working.
The warranty's up (and I'm broke), so I can't repair it. I also want to point out that the problem started not long after the warranty expired. What, at this point, is my best option? Should I just save up for the newest model? Or would it be cheaper and more efficient to save up just enough for a repair? Any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

As I said, you can move on to Restore. Backup everything then Restore as New. Restoring from backup would just copy whatever software issue you may have. But it sure looks more and more like a hardware problem. Take a close look at the button to see if perhaps some dirt particles are stuck there.
You can also make an appointment with a Gnius at the nearest Apple store to have it diagnosed. Apple does not fix iPods, they just replace them with refurbished units, so it won't be cheap. Prices are here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You can Google for third part repair hops or do-it-yoursel kits.
Good luck.

2nd gen ipod touch doesn't wake up regularly to receive email

How can I get my 2nd gen iPod Touch (using ios 4.2.1 Build Version 8C148) to 'wake up' regularly to receive email (from my gmail account)? When the screen blanks (locks) while the wi-fi is on, it appears to also turn off wi-fi (I assume to conserve battery charge) until I unlock the screen, & therefore doesn't check for email every so often - I have to unlock screen & check manually. I want to know if there are iPod settings (I feel I looked over all possibilities, but could have missed something) or an app that can enable my iPod Touch to check for email every 10 minutes (while the screen is locked & there's enough charge in the battery) & if I receive one or more emails, generate the audio notification. [I tried several search phrasings on this support site & saw nothing similar to my request for assistance]
Thanks.

The only setting is to have Push turned on in the Settings>Mail. However, your problem may be related to Google stopping Push for Gmail

2nd Gen IPod Touch - Software crash using Krusell Music Multi Adapt Case

When using my new 2nd gen iPod Touch with my old Krusell Music Case. When I close the case the software of my iPod crashes and the only way I can restart is to do a hard reset. It was Ok with my 1st gen iPod Touch.
Is it possible that the magnets that are used for keeping the lid closed are effecting the electronics somehow? Do I have a problem with the iPod?
Comments would be gratly appreciated.

I doubt if it is the magnets but it is more likely that case is pushing on the Sleep/Wake button. I don't believe the gen 1 and gen 2 iPods are the same size.
You can test the magnet theory by turning your iPod on and moving the magnets over the device.

2nd gen ipod touch obsolete?

ever since earlier this year, I have been noticing that more iOS application updates are no longer being written for iOS 4. this wasn't a major concern until a week ago, when I started noticing that the number of updates that were incompatible with my 2nd gen ipod touch had gone from 4 to 13 within 8 days of each other. since there looks to be fewer and fewer apps that will run under iOS 4, I have gotten to wondering about my current iPod. A few months ago, my 2nd gen iPod Touch was diagnosed by the genius bar in SF. the employee who ran the tests told me that my iPod was having some hardware issues, and a replacement would cost me $99. I really didn't see the point in doing anything at the time, but, if I am not going to be able to use the iPod as I have been doing for the past 3.75 years, then it might be time to replace it. I know that apple will discontinue support for iOS 4 completely before too long, and I don't want to be stuck with an ancient ipod. I was stuck with an ancient ibook g4 for 7 years prior to getting my current MacBookPro. any suggestions or feedback would be greatly welcomed! thanks

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

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 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
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

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

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.

2nd gen iPod touch YouTube app can't search YouTube

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.
