Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Hello I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen and it wont turn on or charge. I have pluged it into a wall 4 days ago and its been charging in multiple outlets (such as computers and walls) and its been displaying a red battery with a lightning symbol. When I unplug it the screen goes black and nothing happens. I have tried holding down the power button but nothing will work. Also when I plug it into a computer it doesnt show up on itunes, as additional info it is a 8gb black ipod touch 2ng gen, no camera, and ios 4.1. Thank you

IPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on or be recognized by iTunes.

The other night i was using my iPod touch and it was working fine and then i put it to sleep for the night and i woke up and tried to wake up my ipod and the screen displayed the plug into iTunes thing and the screen was flickering lighter and darker. I went to plug it into my computer and my computer didnt recognize it and neither did iTunes. I tried turning it off and back on but after i turned it off it didn't turn back on. I tried putting it into recovery mode and any other mode I could find that was supposed to fix it and it didn't work. I also tried charging it with no effect. So now my iPod wont turn on and when i plug it into the computer it tells me that the USB Device is not recognized. I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
which told me to update the driver for the unknown device. I followed those instructions and i went to install driver from disk and have disk and put in the location it told me to select and the driver it told me to select and after i did that the computer told me that the driver update didn't go with the driver i was updating. So that didn't worked and after hours of much frustration im here. The liquid identifier thing has not been triggered and i no longer have a warranty on my Ipod so if anyone can help it'd greatly appreciate it!

Anyone?

Why can't iPod Touch 2nd Generation play html5 video?

I have just upgraded my 2nd iPod Touch's OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, but it can't play html5 video on iPad-ready sites like (http://tv.robbreport.com/). My iPhone 3GS and iPad can play html5 videos on this website smoothly.

I'd like to report further that after changing the wallpaper the iPod Touch has somehow stopped being able to play either video or audio.

IPod Touch 2nd generation not being recognized / charging through iTunes

I am having issues with my 2nd gen iPod Touch being recognized in iTunes or Windows. I have tried multiple computers with no luck (Windows XP and 7).
Here is what is going on.
iPod is not recognized through computer or iTunes
iPod doesn't charge through computer or a wall charger, however, will charge through a seperate speaker dock. (this seems odd that it will charge on a dock, but not through the wall charger or computer).
Each time the iPod is plugged into the computer with Windows XP, I get a message that the USB device is not recognized. I get no message when plugged into Windows 7.
Here are the steps I tried to fix the issue.
used multiple cables, 3 in all. My iPhone 3gs works fine and is recognzied with all cables / computers.
reset the device numerous times and re-started computers.
Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled with no luck.
I'm reaching out into the community to see if anyone has had similiar issues and looking for advice to solving this problem.
Thanks for your help and responses.

Slightly different contact configuratio in the dock might allow charging nly on the dock.
If you can't straight out the contacts:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. However, it may not be worth it for the old 2G iPod.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following is less. Google for more.

but may not be worth it for a 2G
But may not be worth the $69 plus shipping for the old 2G iPod

IPod Touch (2nd Generation) is showing up as a camera in my 64bit Windows 7 Laptop

One week ago, I synced my iPod into my computer and added some videos and music to it. This evening, (12-4-12) I downloaded an album and wanted to sync it into my iPod. The iPod would not connect to my laptop, and only show up as a camera. It would not show in iTunes at all. Anything I've looked up so far in Apple Support was without results. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, changed and reinstalled multiple drivers. I've tried using cloud on another computer, but that computer runs iTunes 10. The name of the iPod is CMTV, as opposed to Apple iPod.

Have you tried:

My ipod touch 2nd generation wont work now ever since I took the screen apart trying to tighten up the headphone jack, can someone please tell me how to fix this problem!!!

Ever Since I took it apart trying to to fix the headphone jack which need tightened because only one side was working

Everything seems to be working fine when I double click the home button the music play thing shows up, but when I try to press play to touch it it want play, ever since I took it apart a piece of thescreen that was connected to a black part got broken off (not the screen but the black part),and now it closes in all corners except the one where it was broken, but I put it back in place it's just not connected to the screen.

What does it mean when my iPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on after factory reset?

My iPod started having quirks and not playing my music. Well it would say it was playing but it displayed the now playing as if it was plugged into a USB system on a car. So I factory reset it and now it only displays the apple logo and won't do anything else.

Thats the same with me but mines a 4th gen. I reset to factory settings and it stays on the apple logo with a gray lined circle on it. Plz help! I should be taking it into apple within the next few days and hopefully that will help.

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to itunes

My daughter's ipod touch (2nd generation) is not being recognized by itunes.... The cords are fine (they recoginize my iphone) but we can sync her ipod to her library because of this. I have tried updating itunes, turning the ipod off and back on, reseting the ipod settings, and restarting the computer. SO FRUSTRATED!

Try here:

Do you have another computer to try?
Does the iPod charge?
If you look at the dock connector in the iPod does anything look abnormal like bent contacts? I suspect an iPod problem.
