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.

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working. The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down. On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in. Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works. I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

HT4205 Can I update my iPod touch 2nd generation with iOS 4.2.1 to restore the iOS to a new and improved iOS? Can I go from iOS 4.2.1 too iOS 5.0.

All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

HT1923 The sync function on my iPod Touch 3rd generation doesn't work properly. My OS is up to date, but some of my podcasts won't transfer onto the iPod, and it won't delete ones I've already listened to.

The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly. It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps deleting my music even after restoring it and I can't sync new songs anymore

Hello, I have an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB that I purchased brand new in January 2013. The device is currently running iOS 6.1.6.
It worked perfectly fine until today, when I tried to sync one single song on it.
While i was syncing it, I noticed that on the iPod screen, the song menu begun scrolling without me touching the display, some song titles became white (as when you're syncing a song) or disappeared leaving blank lines, until the music app crashed.
When I opened it again, it said that there where no songs in my library.
I tried copying my music on the iPod again, but it only copied one song, after that when I tried syncing more songs, iTunes kept saying "preparing synchronization" (or something similar) but nothing happened.
I tried restoring the device, and initializing it as a new iPod (without using any backups) and then I started copying my songs on it again.
But after the 15th song, the problem occurred again.
What can I do?
Is it possible that it's the case of an hardware failure? My photo library wasn't affected, and except for the music problem, my iPod is running fine, it's not even an old device and no accidents even happened to him (like falling on the ground or something like that).
Any tips?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out.

How can i downgrade the OS in my ipod touch2? its doesn't work anymore since i accidentally upgraded it

IPod Touch 1st Generation doesn't work directly out of the box?

I just bought a first generation iPod touch and first things first I plug it into my PC. Nothing happens on the iPod and on iTunes I immediately get a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore it before it is usable with iTunes." So I hit OK and click yes to the message about restoring it to its factory settings, considering that's how it should be anyway since I had literally just taken it out of the box. I finally get a reaction from the iPod, and it's a solid white screen followed by the apple logo, and then for about 5 minutes iTunes says it's "prepaying the iPod for restore..." followed by the error message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored, an unknown error occured. (1604)" Then the iPod disconnects from iTunes and proceeds to be frozen at the Apple logo screen. I have looked at all the troubleshooting walkthroughs and none of them work because I have never seen a screen on the iPod other than the Apple logo, it seems as though the only way to fix this is if I just take it back and get a replacement

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is the device brand new? - the Second Generation have been around for some time now so I hope you got a good price on it.
Have a read of this article which explains how to deal with the 1604 error:

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.

The power button on my iPod touch 4th generation doesn't work is there anything I can do without paying money?

What can I do? Please help!

Use the Accessibility feature Assistive Touch for many uses of the power button. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive touch.
