I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Have old ipod nano (2nd generation) with music from an old itunes account ... I have new itunes account now...how do I get my old purchased music into my new itunes library?

    I have an old ipod nano (2nd generation) with music on it from an old itunes account from a few years ago.  I have a new itunes account now.  How do I get the music (that I purchased) transferred into my new itunes library?

    Hi sid1010,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library.  Here's how:

    Ok so sorry for clogging the community!! I figured it out - you have to copy your videos into itunes manually. I did that, synched and all good!

  • HT4962 I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOS and it no longer seems to be recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. I want to update my sync settings but can't do this without being able to select the device. Any suggestion

    I have an Ipod touch 2nd generation with version 4.2.1 IOs and it is no longer recognized as a device when I plug into my computer. This means I can not change synch settings - any ideas on what I need to do ?

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.

  • TS1382 i have my ipod nano 2nd generation for about 4 years then my friend stole it and gave it back 2 years later which was about 3 years ago. i havnt used it since and now it wont turn on.

    i just want to know how to get it to start working again.

    You would have to buy a new battery like this:

    And then replace the battery. Here is a tutorial:

    The replacement battery above also includes some tools although you should have a small screwdriver. After that you should be good to go.

  • How to run games on ipod nano 2nd generation with firmware 1.1.1

    Does anyone know if you can run games on the 2nd generation ipod nano with the latest firmware of 1.1.1 when the itunes store with games wants the system to have firmware 1.2.
    This means that the games must only work on 1st generation ipods or that 2nd generation ipod nanos do not need this level of firmware.
    Games are not loading on my ipod.
    Any advice?

    Nope, sorry but games are currently only supported on the 5th Generation (video) iPods. Also the 1.2 firmware is only for the 5th Generation iPods.

    If I helped... please mark as helpful or solved. Thanks

  • I have an ipod touch 2nd generation with a lost passcode and I am looking to wipe the ipod of all items

    can someone help me wipe my ipod?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Should an iPod Nano 2nd Generation Work With Windows Vista?

    I understand that many people are having problems with their iPods and come here for support and solutions.
    I'm just wondering if the iPod Nano 2nd generation 4g I have that is working just fine SHOULD work with latest iTunes on Windows Vista laptop (which I haven't used yet)?

    Just to close this out I was able to connect the second generation 4g iPod Nano without issue. In a matter of minutes I had it loaded, recognized by iTunes with up-to-date software, sync with over 900 songs and almost 200 pictures and then ejected (I manually manage music)! Really sorry for those who can't get iTunes and/or iPod to work!

  • My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

    my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

    This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC.  So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC.  Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
    It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
    If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
    Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there.  If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.
