I was doing some touching up on an old iPod I had lying around, and accidentally purchased a replacement rear housing for the 2nd Gen, instead of a 3rd Gen. Will it still be compatible? Thanks

eBay has none for sale, and I am wondering if there is a website that sells it?

Thanks in advance.

The iPod was outside over night, in the cold wetness of a friend's driveway. At first it wouldn't even power on, but after a few weeks of sitting in rice, I've got it going. The sound works fine, and the screen is even registering my touch, but the white screen wont go away, although it has improved over time. Before it was streaky and I could see the water and bubbles inside it. Now there's only a small patch of pixelated streaks, and the corners are tinted yellow.

I'd like to know exactly what's wrong with it so I can have it repaired instead of buying a new iPod.

After one year of use, one day the screen got weird, with white and black strips and some other colors. The iPod did NOT fell into water, the problem started with no apparent reason.

I tried to restart and restore later with no positive results.

After two days I turned it on and, for my surprise, the LCD worked 100%, with no more strips on it, but the digitizer had stopped working...

After some days, I decided to order a new digitizer from eBay (actually I bought two).

When arrived, I used the iFixIt guide to open and replace the digitizer.

RESULT: the first and second digitizer did NOT work.

After read some articles and reviewing some related questions at iFixIt, I saw that some guys were trying to clean the contacts using ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL.

So, my great question is: What contacts should I clean with ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL? All of them?

Hope you guys can assist me on it.

With best regards,

Leonardo Ramos.

I have a 3rd gen iPod touch that I want to use just as a music player. It works perfectly fine. Unfortunately, when I plug it into my computer to sync the songs, iTunes gives the message you see in the title. My only options are to restore the thing or to eject it.

I've tried everything I found in guides - restart your computer, relaunch iTunes, etc (which were all useless, although not as useless as the ones that tell you to use some shoddy and shady unknown computer program to restore it as the final step). My iPod is not jailbroken and has no extra apps - bone stock with a rather empty iOS 5.1.1. The only file on it is a picture of Arisa Matsuda that I put as a joke.

Is this because I'm trying to sync with a computer running 10.13 High Sierra? Or is it something else?
