Something I discovered when trying to set up my Mobile Me account to ipod touch 2nd gen

I went to set up my mobile me account on my ipod touch 2nd gen and shows the option of Find my iPod. Will the find my iphone work??? I did set up an iCloud because I got an iPhone 4s today.

Hi jcole,
Just wanted to let you know that I did a little looking around, and the Find My iPhone app that you see under your MobileMe account on your iPod was an app that worked with MobileMe, so it is still there, but it really doesn't do anything anymore. Back in the day, you would have logged on to www.me.com to get to a map which would show your location. Today, if you were to type me.com into the URL bar, you get redirected to iCloud.com....
So, just wanted to give you an update on what it is (I found it interesting - didn't know that the "Find My" capability was there before iCloud).
Cheers,
GB

Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

Help! I just restored my ipod touch 2nd gen cos I needed a clear out. I went to sync some music back on, and it seemed to work. However when I went into 'music' it said 'no content'. I tried syncing music 3 times and it did the same every time. Help!

Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.

My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download

Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..Thank u for your help.

Have Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. 64 gig. I noticed that my music will not play alphabetically anymore. Don't know exactly when this occured. I checked all my settings so doesn't seem to be that.Apple no longer is upgrading this unit..I use windows XP but don't believe this is an issue since i have read posts saying this is not the problem..right now am converting my higher bit rate music to see if that changes anything. I also turned off my unit and the next thing am going to do is a restore if this doesn't work. Anyone find a fix for this yet? I also see that this is not a unique problem to Gen 2 units and is occuring on newer units as well..thank you all for any advise...

- Unsync all music 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:

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

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.

I need to downgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen Mc model back to 3.1.3 because that is what my default firmware was when i first bought it. iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod, is there a way maybe if apple can reset my ipod touch back to 3.1.3?

is there a way if apple can reset my ipod touch 2nd gen MC model back to 3.1.3? because iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod and i cant deal with also i cannot afford a new ipod at the moment. also 3.1.3 was my default iOS when i first activated my ipod touch. I bought it in December in 2009

"You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
This will not work..
A restore will always install the latest available software.
Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

- Then try on another computer

I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery. I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say. It is free except for your time.

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)
The above is from:

When udgrading my ipod touch 2nd gen to version 4.2

My iTunes takes about 58minutes to DOWNLOAD the software update for my iPod Touch 2nd Gen (which is an incredibly long time)
And when it gets to the last minute, it says in the status bar ''Processing request''.
Then an error notification pops up and says I'll have to try the download another time because the network connection timed out. But my internet is still on?
I have been on the internet the whole time waiting for the software to install to my iPod.
Does anyone have a suggestion why this happened or how I can fix it?
