Rotate on iPod Touch 2G no longer working?

So I bought a new laptop and ipod touch 2g through the student discount program for the summer. I got the Touch last friday. Today, I was surfing the internet and Safari wouldn't rotate sideways. So I checked with my music, and yet again, it won't rotate to the coverflow view. Is there some hidden setting I changed that might re-enable the rotating functions? Or is the accelerometer broken?

try the troubleshooting steps. will fix most software problems. if they don't fix it, more than likely a hardware problem that will require the attention of an apple employee. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • My ipod touch is no longer working with universal dock since downloading the new OS

    I have the Apple Universal Dock.  It had been working fine with my ipod touch.  I just downloaded the new OS and now my ipod touch will not work with the Universal Dock.
    Any ideas?

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Updated to os4.3.3 and to itunes 10.2.2 and ipod touch will no longer work (sync) to computer.  I have removed all Apple Software and reinstalled and this did not fix the probelm

  • Options for ipod touch that no longer works

    does anyone have any ideas? get it repaired, who, where? trade for parts etc, again who where etc?
    I dropped it in coffee, half sec later after removing it from liquid, dried it out best i could then stored in bag of rice for approx 24hrs, it will not power on, charge etc!
    Thanks for your help!

    Try drying longer and change the rice daily.
    Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-part place may be less expensive but it is hard to tell now since you do not know what components need replacement. Here is one place

  • HT201263 my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

    my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

    After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - 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.
    - 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: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

  • Safari on iPod touch will no longer open any web pages even after reset.

    My iPod touch will no longer open any web pages via Safari. I am connected to WiFi and other apps work fine (mail for example). I connected to Itunes and did a reset - still no luck. S/w is up to date for this version of touch - 4.x.
    Please help with any ideas?

  • Purchases made on my ipod touch are no longer being transferred to the Mac...but yet they are showing up in "grey" in the purchased list on the Mac.  Any clues as to what is going on?

    What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
    Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up.  The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out.  They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
    I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
    Any clues as to what is going on?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    One other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update.  So the sequence of events went like this:
    1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
    2) purchases made
    3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
    4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
    5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
    Thanks!

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • My iPod Touch calendar no longer receives updates

    My iPod Touch calendar no longer receives updates from the calendar program in my MacBook.  Used to work fine, via iTunes synch.  Have I inadvertently turned that function off?

    I too have an older iPod. I do not care much for iCloud or any cloud so what I do is send my calendar to my e-mail and then open it on my iPod. I send Contacts using Adobe and, for me, it works fine. If you are in business and use these apps frequenctly I do not think this would work well for you. Only two options, iCloud or a Server.

  • 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.
