since upgrading my iPod touch 2nd generation to (4.2.1) it keeps closing itself down and I have great difficulty turning it back on. HELP

Hi lllaass,
unfortunately that didn't work.
I turn my iPod on by using the bottons on the top and the front, I get the apple logo, the iPod comes on, then goes off (battery FULL)
Had no problems until the upgrade !!!!
So sure it's the software and not the iPod itself.
Thanks

  • My Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. I keep getting Error 9 and I have done everything they asked but nothibng helps.

    Help I think when I went to restore my ipod touch the date was wornign on the ipod and not it is stuck in recovery moder and I keep getting Error 9. I have tried everything but nothing works can someone help me?

    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software."- it's taken from the Apple support web.

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • The screan on my ipod touch 2nd generation doesn't work anymore. I tried restoring it and all but it didn't help at all

    What should i do?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it for a 2G

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again may not be worth it.

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation(8 gb) is constantly showing the red slider bar and is turning the volume up.

    I've had my iPod for two or three years now, and it has never shown any problems other than this. It acts as if I am holding down both the volume button and the power button, which I am not. It makes it impossible to listen to music without blowing out my eardrums and it won't let me navigate the app pages. So far, i have held the power buton and home screen for ten seconds, i have turned it off then back on, and i have let it sit for a day. I have never dropped it, stepped on it, or let it get wet, so I have no clue how to solve this.
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    - First try restoring from backup
    - If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • We have two iPod touch 2nd generations, one had to be restored a few days ago and is now not able to have some of the apps back on it saying that they are incompatible with the iPod. Is there any way to "copy" the apps from 1 to the other??

    Is there any way to get an older version of the app that can be compatible or to "copy" the app from one iPod to the other?
    Or maybe to update the opperating system??

    you can by downloading iTunes to your computer/laptop but before plugging it in to the computer make sure all of your apps are on it then just sync the restored iPod to your computer and all of the apps on the computer will go to your iPod.. Good Luck

  • My current laptop is about 3 years old. Got a virus and had to wipe it clean. Now my IPod touch 2nd generation won't recognize this computer as the one it was originally assigned to.  what do I need to do to safeguard my tunes on the Ipod touch.

    My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus.  Had to wipe it clean.  Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer.  What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch.  Any suggestions?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    What exactly happens when you try to update the iPod? What does the error message say?
    Also, are you sure yo have a 2G iPod?
    See:

    I ask since a 1G can only go to iOS 2.x via iTunes and highest is 3.1.3 via

    It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

  • IPod Touch 2nd generation - no upgrade possible?

    I bought my iPod Touch Model MC086NF on 01/04/2010. It now appears it was of the "first" 2nd generation, i.e. without the 3rd generation software.
    "Following the introduction of the 3rd generation iPod Touch, Apple also continued offering the 2nd generation 8 GB version, upgraded to the same iPhone OS version as the new 3rd generation devices. The iPod Touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. Apple as well sold many refurbished iPod Touch 2nd generation models with the 3rd generation software effectively making them a 3rd generation unit. These can be identified by software version 4.3.5."
    My version is 4.2.1 and it took me quite a while to find out why I couldn't upgrade to iOS 5. I'm furious about this as it appears I'm stuck with a device that cannot be upgraded anymore. Apple doesn't mention this anywhere of course (I found the detailed data on Wikipedia). The shop didn't mention anything about this of course.
    Does anyone know about a "fix" for this?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Paule

    There is nothing to fix.
    The 2nd gen ipod can only support 4.2.1.
    What does Apple "not mention"?

  • Is it possible to sync an Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes to download music?

    I have been trying to sync my Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes and it says its completed, but then the music doesn't transfer to the device and I know I can't upgrade to IOS 5  so is it impossible to download music to it?  I just bought it today used to $54  so I am growing incredibly frustrated.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
