The button on the top of my iPod touch 2nd gen isn't working, is there any way i could fix this?

when trying to switch off my ipod or auto lock it, it does not work so i have to wait for the back light to go off for it to be able to lock. there is also no other way that i am able to switch my ipod off. is there anyway i would be able to fix this problem myself or not? thanks

Probably nothing. Apple doesn't support the iPod Touch 2G anymore. My display is cracked, and i'm thinking of replacing it myself. You can also do that with lock button. Just google it, and you'll probably find how to do it.
I hope i helped you enough with this.

    Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • I want to buy the song "I want to hold your hand" by Al Green but it is not on itunes, is there any way i could recommend this song to be carried by itunes?

    I want to buy the song "I want to hold your hand" by Al Green but it is not on itunes, is there any way of getting it on itunes or being able to reccomend that this song be carried by itunes?

    You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Store through the feedback page. Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, some out of Apple's control (to start with, the artists and record companies have to be willing to license the tracks to Apple), so don't expect instant action.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen not connecting to mail now-any anwers?

    My iPod Touch 2nd Generation can no longer connect to my email (formerly MobileMe account). I am running iOS 4.2.1
    Why can I not suddenly connect to my email? It asks me to create account with MobileMe, which I already have. Every time
    I try to put in my Apple ID and password (long in use, NOT new), it says it already exists (no fooling?). It becomes a big endless
    loop and no matter how many times I repeat the activity, same answer. I even restarted the iPod, to no avail. Any answers?
    thank you for your help.

    MobileMe has been discontinued and replaced by iClould. Did you transition to iCloud? However, the 2G iPod is no supported by iCloud.

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) - Does not work with Component AV Cable

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Today I bought the component AV cable at the Apple store (along with a universal dock). Connected it correctly to the TV and:
    1. No picture (screen is blue, as though nothing connected); no sound (whether video or music)
    2. Whatever video is playing on the actual iPod gets stuck - as though it is on "pause", with the difference that you can push "play" and "pause" and the only thing that does is change the "play" or "pause" icon from one to the other or vice-versa--video will not actually play
    3. Setting Widescreen to "on" or "off" has no effect
    4. Tried connecting it to an old iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) - also no sound.
    Please advise!

    Alex_K
    Try changeing your TV out setting, found in the (Settings) of your ipod. Following Paragraph found in the iPod User manual (Page 98): http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
    "Use these settings to set up how iPod touch plays videos on your TV. For more
    information about using iPod touch to play videos on your TV, see “Watching Videos
    on a TV” on page 39.
    Turn widescreen on or off: Choose Video and turn Widescreen on or off.
    Set TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL.
    NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards. iPod touch displays NTSC 480p/PAL 576p
    when attached to a TV using a component cable, or NTSC 480i/PAL 576i using a
    composite cable. Your TV might use either of these, depending on where you bought
    it. If you’re not sure which to use, check the documentation that came with your TV. "
    Hope that helps,
