Our second generation iPod touches stopped opening BBC iPlayer programmes 23 Feb. anyone know why?

Our two second generation iPod touches have developed an identical problem with BBC iPlayer, We can open iPlayer, we can choose a programme but when we try to open the programe the circular icon at the top opens and closes within a second and the programme does not open. I have tried using the drop down menu  OPEN but that does not work either.
The iPlayer App is not applicable to this generation of iPod Touch...
I can access the iPlayer programmes no problem on a PC so it isn't an internet problem.
A younger fourth generation iPod touch can open programmes so it isn't a an iPod touch problem in general.
Any ideas?

    my ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?

    Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.

  • I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Second generation ipod touch and problems with headphone jack.

    Hello!
    I have a second generation ipod touch that is experiencing headphone jack problems.  Everytime that I plug any sort of headphones in all it does is make weird noises and only let me hear background parts of the music.  I have even tried replacing the headphones that i was using and it still does the same thing.  The only way to hear all of the song is to push the headphones to the left and hold it there otherwise nothing works.  I even talked to some of my friends that have the 2nd generation ipod touch and they have the same problem.  Is there an issue with the 2nd generation ipod that people are not informed about?

    No.
    My 2G, passed along to my brother now, is just fine after nearly 3 years of daily use and it's share of hard knocks.
    I didn't just "get lucky" either .
    A search of this forum will show that what you've described does happen but it's not common.
    You need a 3rd party , like iPod Doctor, to tell you and your friends what happened and how to avoid it in the future.
    I doubt it will make sense to repair a 2G iPod since it can no longer be updated but ask anyway.

    I have a second generation ipod touch how do I set you IOS. 5?
    help me is something I have tried a long time ago please send your answers as quickly as possible

    If you are using iTunes on Maverick OSX 10.9 then syncing of contacts and calendars has been removed. The replacement is to use iCloud instead.

  • HT4972 What if you have a second generation iPod touch? How do I get iOS 5 or 4?

    Ive had this iPod for a while just used it for music but now that I was trying to put apps on it I couldn't because I needed something called iOS 5 or 4.3 so I looked it up and it said I couldn't get that so I was wondering what am I supposed to do now

    Neither of those are compatible with the second generation iPod touch. If you want to use those applications, get a newer device.

  • I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
    Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

  • HT4199 Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

    Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

    Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller

  • Just noticed that when I close my mail app by double clicking the home button and swiping up it dies something weird. After doing this when I open my mail, instead of showing all my mailboxes it automatically opens one of them instead. Anyone know why?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • Updating a Second Generation iPod Touch

    So I want to install Myst on my iPod touch using the iTunes app. However, this app requires an operating system of at least 3.1.3. Currently, my 2nd Generation iPod Touch is running version 2.2.1 (5H11). When I try to update my system through iTunes, it says that the software is up to date. What options do I have to improve the operating system of my iPod?
    Thank you for your responses.

    When I try to update my system through iTunes, it says that the software is up to date.
    If his iTunes is telling him his iOS is up to date then he probably has the 1st generation iPod Touch.
    He would then need to purchase the 3.1 update as planb77 links to.
    To the original poster. Look on the back of your iPod Touch for one of these numbers and let us know what you have.
    iPod Touch 1st generation - A1213
    iPod Touch 2nd generation - A1288
    iPod Touch 3rd generation - A1318
    iPod Touch 4th generation - A1367

  • Is there any reason that Apple can't support iOS4.3 on the second generation iPod touch?

    I have a number of Apps that can no longer run on my iPod touch second generation because these Apps now requires iOS to be v4.3 or later.  For example, I used to be able to run Skype on this iPod touch, but it failed a couple of weeks ago.  I could not download it from App Store again since it requires v4.3 iOS and Apple does not support v4.3 upgrade on this iPod touch.  The hardware is perfectly fine - I don't see any reason that it cannot support v4.3 upgrade other than Apple wants us to buy newer products.  If that's the case, it leaves a very bad taste on customers' mouth.  How can Apple force their customers to dump what they bought a little over 2 yrs ago because Apple doesn't allow iOS upgrade and customers can no longer run the Apps they need on this device as a result?  There is no way that I am going to buy another Apple product based on this bully behavior!

    I am not sure that I buy that.  Even if that's the case, why can I not continue to run the Apps that used to be supported on v4.2?  I should be able to run the version of Skype App that is compatible with iOS v4.2.  Since Apple controls the App Store content, they should allow those who stay on v4.2 continue to access the Apps that they used to run on v4.2. 
    Becuase App Store continues to push for updates, now it has pushed my iPod to a point of no return as those Apps are no longer supported on v4.2.  I cannot go back to the versions of the Apps that could run on v4.2 - I was happy with Skype (and other Apps) running on my iPod but that version of Skype is no longer available because App Store does not allow that.  It renders my iPod touch useless due to Apple's monopoly control! 
    If anyone knows how to download the older versions of Apps that can run on v4.2, please advise - many thanks!

  • Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

    I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it.  The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod.  However, the music will only come out of the iPod.  The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken. 

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • I have a second generation ipod touch that will not update past version 3.1.3, when i check updates it says it is up to date but im quite sure i should be able to get at least a 4.2 ios update. If someone could please help id really appreciate it!!

    I have made sure that my ipod is second generation, and i have tried to resotr it twice to fix the problem. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it. I went to the apple store in metrotwn and the gentlemen didnt even look at the ipod, just told me that it was maybe to old of a generation to support updates. Funny thing is my boyfriend had it before me and he updated it past 3.1.3 no problem.

    - Are you sure you have a 2G iPod and not a 1G? Yucan can itell the difference here by the shape of the black antenna cover on the back of the iPOd.
