My 2nd generation shuffle will not sync with itunes. Why?
I have done everything I can think of. I have restarted my mac several times, restarted Itunes and my 2nd generation shuffle will not show up in my iTunes. I just updated my iTunes and Mac to the latest version. Any help? Why wont my itunes connect to my ipod shuffle??
When iTunes is NOT running, does the shuffle show up on the Desktop, or appear in Disk Utility (when you run it)? Or, if you run System Profiler
Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report (if running Lion)
does the shuffle appear as a device under Hardware/USB?
If it is being recognized by the Mac in some way, you may be able to get it working again, using the iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
This utility is for 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffles only, as a "lower level" reset when you can't do a regular Restore in iTunes.
If the Mac is not seeing the shuffle at all, there is probably a problem with the USB connection, probably the USB cable/dock or the connection point on the shuffle (headphone jack) becoming faulty. To rule out the USB port in the Mac, be sure to try different ports. If you have been using a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), be sure to try a direct port on the Mac. And be sure to try it with ALL other USB devices (except standard mouse and keyboard) disconnected, in case there is some USB device conflict happening. -
On an iPod Nano 2G, the iPod will not show in iTunes
Using an iPod Nano 2 G, when I plug it into a Mac, the iPod will not show in iTunes. The iPod will charge, but will not sync. This happens across multiple Mac's, so the issue seems to be the Nano, not the computer(s). The iPod will actually show for about 2 seconds in the left sidebar, then it disappears. Any suggestions about how to either fix this, or maybe how to restore the iPod's software. The iPod otherwise seems to be working correctly, i.e. will play music, etc. we have tried switching ports, cables and computers, same results.
Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Do other USB devices work on the computer/USB port?? -

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

HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4
my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.
Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Identifying iPod models
To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X -
My 2nd generation ipod will not stay on an app
my 2 nd generation ipod will not stay on an app for instance ghost radar classic stays on for a minute then goes to app store
Believe it or not the iPod can go for months on end without ever completely powering down. Sometimes it helps to simply reboot it like any computer.
The following article explains how to do that, and more:

New ipod will not show in itunes.
my computer isn't very happy at the moment. it randomly unexpectedly quits when i am using photoshop or quark, or really anything. it could happen right now... it hasn't been happy since it was crashed by my friend. he reinstalled everything, but it is still being touchy. i am taking it in for healing when my mac pro arrives via the mail. well... i got a brand new ipod nano and it won't show up in itunes. i tried all the updates. nothing works. i do not have a USB 2.0, i have the card reader thing. it doesn't work anywhere. it is probably my computer, but the ipod shows up on the desktop. why won't it show in itunes?
I believe it is a Windows setting issue. Try this:
Go to Control Panel
Choose Display
Choose Settings Tab
Change Screen Resolution should be at least 1024 by 768 pixels.
Accept the change.
Then you will see the CONTINUE button.
Please let me know if this solved your problem!

My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
Hello!
My iPod will not show up in the Itunes device list plus I get an error message
" One or more devices is getting too much power from the USB wire" or sumptin like that.
I've tried this with two wires, so the problem is not there.
I reseted the iPod to factory settings but it didn't help.
Anyone??- 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 USB port and computer
- 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.
