Syncing the ipod touch 2nd gen to imac

Just bought imac, and when I plug in ipod it only lights up as if it were being charged. Then it popped up in the iphoto page and showed me all the frozen screen photos. After deleting these photos, that doesn't even pop up. The ipod doesn't show in itunes and I cannot sync at all. I have latest version of itunes, I tried reseting ipod, restarting computer, switched usb cords and ports... I'm afraid to restore ipod because if it doesn't sync, I wont be able to use it.. Any suggestions?

did you try to disable the camera notification? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501

  • Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer usable? Is this what is store for all Apple products?

    I am very disheartened with Apple.  I have loved the iPod touchs up until now.  It seems the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer download apps that work on the 4.2.1 iOS.  I was just selling my wife on Apple products and now this has shut her and I down on all Apple products.  I hope I am wrong but is Apple partaking in planned obsolesence? If so, planned obsolesence is not marketing and I will be looking at other brands when it comes to electronic devices.  If not, how do you download apps for an iPod touch 2nd gen running a max iOS of 4.2.1?  Thank you.   

    Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store.  It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices.  And you can download them right to your ios device.  Many are free.
    Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
    Be sure to keep backups of older software.  Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

  • What is the highest firmware for the ipod touch 2nd gen.?

  • Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen compatible with current iPhone earbuds with mic?

    I have a friend that wants to talk to me on Skype with an iPod touch 2nd gen, but the earbuds don't have a microphone to talk into.
    Is the iPhone earbuds with mic compatible with the Touch Gen 2? Thanks.

    I found an Apple brand iPhone stereo headset (with mic) on eBay, but when I try it with my iPod Touch 2G on apps like Skype or QuickVoice, I get a message saying that there is no microphone attached. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

  • Itunes 11 won't sync to Ipod touch 2nd gen on windows 8

    2nd gen Ipod Touch 16gb. It will not sync to Itunes 11.0.2.26 on Windows 8. Itunes can see the device since it appears in my list of devices. When I attempt to sync it, it goes thru the sthe 3 steps.
    1. Preparing to sync
    2. Waiting to sync
    3, Finished syncing
    I do not receive any errors but no music is sync'd to the Ipod.
    I have updated the Ipod to the latest and greatest software. I have uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. I have reset the Ipod to factory default
    I have performed the numerous possible resolutions posted on the discussion boards but nothing has resolved the problem.

  • While trying to sync my iPod Touch (2nd gen), it will only sync about 5-15 songs before saying "iTunes has stopped working."

    I just got some new songs, and want to put them on my iPod. I connected it to my laptop, and iTunes opened and automatically started to sync my songs. It only synced the first 8, then displayed an error message saying "iTunes has stopped working." The only option was to close the program, so I did. I then tried at least ten more times, with the same results. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but nothing is working. Please help!

  • HT1353 im trying to download games on to the ipod touch 2nd gen and looks like the software driver has been removed,what does that mean and how do i sort it?

    i have an iod touch and aparently the software driver has been removed and i had it restored to factory settings as i bought it from someone,what does this mean and how do i solve the problem

    Just what error message are you getting?
    Are you trying to redownload them directly to the iPod?
    If you are getting an error message that included Open GL 2 or similar that means that the app requires that but only the 3G and later iPods support that.

  • How do I delete ebooks in Archives on iPod Touch 2nd Gen

    The ebooks I've downloaded are listed in my iPod Touch 2nd Gen Archives.  Since they are mostly Library books they cannot be read again.
    1.  How do I delete these books?
        I do not have Wi-Fi, but use the Library to download books.
        I sync my iPod Touch 2nd Gen with my iMac Snow leopard OSX 10.6.8
      My current downloads are through Kindle software (Amazon), others with Eucalyptus...
      Bringing up my acct through iTunes and clicking Kindle... NONE of the many books in ARCHIVE on iPod Touch are listed in the iTunes Kindle icon, nor is the Eucalyptus icon shown in this box.  However, Eucalyptus is shown in the list of software icons.
    It's no big deal if this Archived Listing on iPod Touch Gen 2 is not taking up any memory, but if it is, I'd like these books to be deleted.
    Thank you for your advice.  Frances

    That answer is where the problem comes in....
    They are NOT AUDIO books, they are just plain normal e-books, for reading.
    They do not show up on any lists on iTunes.
    I would suppose that only someone who downloads ebooks from the Library would know
    how to delete books from the Archives on iPod 2nd Gen.  Audio books are handled differently.
    Thank you for trying.  Frances

  • I have lost my photos from my PC. I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.

    I have lost my photos from my PC.
    I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    How can I copy them from the iPod Touch 2nd Gen to my PC?
    The software version on the ipod 2nd Generation is 3.1.1(7C145).
    I would very much appreciate help in this regard.
    Thanks

    If the photos were synced to the iPod;
    - you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to copy them to another computer.
    - Email them to the computer
    - See it there is an app available that will transfer them to your computer. However, there may not be any compatible with your model iPod and its iOS. There is the Photo Transfer app but that requires iOS 4.3 or above but your 2G iPod can only go as high as 4.2.1

  • IPod touch 2nd gen can no longer buy any songs

    I realise the answer to this is because the iPod touch 2nd gen is too old but I want to check. It runs ios 4.2.1 and my wife wanted to buy a couple songs via the iTunes app over wifi. Everytime she tried to buy a song after inputting her password it went through the motions but just as it changed from waiting under downloads it then vanished and didn't download. I thought it was a problem with her account but the ame song downloaded fine on her iPad running 5.1.1 and also on our laptop in iTunes.
    I realise many apps are no longer compatible etc but to not even be able to download songs now is pretty disheartening. Yes we can buy on the laptop and sync but essentially the wifi on the iPod touch is a bit useless now. It might as well just be an ipod now!
    Cheers

    For purchasing problem
    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.
    - Go to Setings>iTunes and App Store and sign ut and sign back in
    - 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.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                                      
    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 releases, 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.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

    I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • No volume, Volume isnt showing up or working iPod touch 2nd gen version 4.2.1

    My volume isn't working and the volume bar isn't showing up when try to play my music. I turnt off my ipod touch 2nd generation verison 4.2.1 but the volume came back for a while but it stop working again. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I dont have the money to get this problem fixed.
    I restore my ipod and i am still having this problem
    Help please and thank you.

    If you revert to a previous version, 11.1.2 for example, it will work again. Older versions of iTunes, like 10, are available here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes
    Don't know if this is suppose to be like this and the iPod Touch 2nd gen is no longer supported, but I would find that a weird moment. I guess we might found out with the next update, if it works again.

  • Microphone apps compatible w/ ipod touch 2nd gen. with mic earphones

    will the apps that utilize the iphone's microphone, such as Shazam, be compatible with the ipod touch 2nd gen. once the new ipod earbuds, that includes the microphone, are released?

    I think this page has the answer. Apparently, yes, you can with an application called note2self.
