2nd Gen 8GB audio lineout misaligned

I originally had a 4GB iPod nano and accessorized with several aftermarket Belkin products: portable speakers, car stereo attachment, etc. Everything worked together well, and all was good.
After shedding some tears when I lost the nano, I took the opportunity to upgrade to the new 8GB nano. To my dismay, the audio lineout plug on the new 8GB was not in the exact same position as the old nano and the accessories were unable to plug into the iPod due to the misalignment. My accessories plug not only into the audio jack but also into the data/power jack, and the distance between these two connections on the iPod is the not the same as my previous version.
Is this a problem for other people too? I can't imagine I'm doing anything wrong when trying to simply attach an accessory, but that's always a possibility.

Depending on the type of retailer you are referring to it is possible that when it comes right down to it, most of these retailers do not know the ends and outs of the new products as would an Apple store employee. It's a pain for customers that are upgrading from the first gen to the new one and had a lot of the accessories that utilized both the dock port and headphone jack but a few red lights that raise questions about compatibility come up with the fact that measurement wise the 2nd gen is a little "smaller". There is also an article within the Apple Articles that points out that not all 1st gen accessories are compatiable. Also, considering the fact that Apple never once advertised the new 2nd gen nano as being backwards compatiable with the 1st gen accessories it isn't exactly fair to decide that it's "dumb". A little research on the Apple online store would have shown that there are many of the 1st gen accessories that just weren't intended for the 2nd gen since when you look up these items specifically for the 2nd gen the list is a bit shorter than for the 1st gen. As for cases, there actually is a number of the cases that actually fit the 2nd gen that were originally released for the 1st as I am still utilizing my original case and it is listed as compatiable for both the 1st gen and the 2nd. It just depends. As time passes you will see more products available for the 2nd gen. The number has actually increased since the original release in September. It ***** but it's just one of those situations where you end up having to shell out more money for things you may really want to replace the items you already have that no longer work for your new iPod. I have noticed though that a lot of people are selling their 1st gen accessories on places like Ebay to recoup some of their money since a lot of people jumped on the lowered prices of the 1st gens when the 2nd was released and it seems that a lot of stores are running out of those accessories....that may be an option for you in that vain (assuming you had any of the old stuff that you cant use now).
Sorry so long lol. Got a bit carried away!

IPod touch 2nd Gen 8gb will no longer Sync photos.

all the posts I could find that were similar had to do with ipods that were jailbroken and on Windows.
I have iTunes 10.1, iPhoto 6.0.6. running on OSX 10.6.5
iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB OS 4.2.1
The Problem: Since I got 4.0 and later, I have not been able to sync photos from iphoto. itunes says that it is, the bar moves and says all photos have been synced, all the photos I want synced are checked in itunes and still nothing when I check them on my ipod. iPod says no photos in album. I tried deleting the ipod cache on my mac, nothing. I tried syncing to a single file folder with the same photos, same. I tried exporting all the photos I wanted synced to a separate folder to jpg and smaller resolution, same result, no photos on ipod.
Note. the photos used to sync up until 4.0
I have also tried starting from scratch and putting it back to factory defaults then going from backup. Same result.
I have tried rebooting both iMac and iPod, same thing.
and I hate how I can't just email apple and tell them the problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem.
Thanks in advance for the possible help.

I dont get an error message at all. itunes just does its normal business when syncing and says its synced, but no photos. I have never tried mobile me, so I dont think my problem is connected. I dont have $300 to get a new ipod. this makes me sad.

Selling iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB

Hi i was wondering if apple will buy an old ipod touch that i have 2nd gen 8GB and does anyone know about how much apple would offer

No.
Apple sells ipods, they do not buy them.
They have a recycle program. They will give a 10% discount on a new ipod if you bring in an old one for recycling.

Ipod touch 2nd gen 8GB freezing problem

As the titls says, i have an 2nd generation 8GB Ipod touch, and it freezes most of the time, it can sit there turned on and its perfectly fine, until i start using it then it freezes up, i have tried a restore from a saved backup, and ive tried a full factory settings retore and nothing helped, now im thinking it may be a problem with the logic board?

Vista/7.5/HP Pavilion/2nd gen 8gb nano combo apparently doesn't work

There's something about this combo that simply refused to play nicely together. I'm trying to make the laptop (said HP Pavilion) my primary computer, since I've gotten rather tired of the Pentium III dinosaur it's replacing, and this would include using it for my iTunes setup. Problem is that EVERY FREAKING TIME I connect the iPod, iTunes complains about needing to restore the iPod. Then it just keeps complaining that it's found an iPod that needs to be restored. AFTER I've restored the iPod!!!
For now, I'm giving up on 7.5 and rolling back to 7.3. I'm hoping that helps. Does anyone have any idea what is going on, whether it's fixable, and whether 7.5 can actually be used with Vista and a 2nd gen nano without screwing the whole thing up beyond recognition? (grumbling and cursing as I restore my poor iPod from the aforementioned dinosaur)

Another update: I stumbled across a weird but effective workaround:
Connect iPod
Acknowledge message about iPod needing to be restored
DO NOT hit Restore button
Reboot computer with iPod attached
Once computer is booted, bring up iTunes
iPod happily synchronizes as normal.
I have no idea why this works, but it does.

TS3623 AppleTV 2nd gen intermittent audio content out.

My second generation AppleTV plays all content great to my Toshiba LED TV, but content out to the soundbar is intermittent. iTune movie "Let Me In" doesn't but "The Replacements" works perfect and so on. Same thing with Netflicks. But my Blueray player using netflicks works perfect on every tittle from netflicks. I have tested all four HDMI ports with the same result. The AppleTV is dissapointing at this point. Any Ideas? Oh, the sound bar is the Polk Audio 3000.

Your HDTVs panels will be fixed resolution - if the input signal differs the TVs have to up/downscale accordingly.
AppleTV 1 allows you to set resolution from 480p/576p through to 1080i/p under Settings.
If your TV is 1080p and you output 720p from AppleTV, the TV upscales automatically.
If the TV has a 720p panel, but accepts a 1080p input from an AppleTV 1 it will downscale.
For what it's worth I much prefer my AppleTV 1's. I too feel there's something subjectively worse about video quality on 2, menus in particular look rough edged/pixellated compared to 1- the output may just be sharper (or non anti-aliased menus) than gen 1.
AppleTV2 definitely buffers/navigates faster and with more responsiveness, but the interface is not as polished as ATV1 and some features are still missing compared to 1 - early days though for ATV2, so I hope software updates will remedy some of these. Having recently read something about possible ATV2 revision with better CPU however, I wonder if it will have the same lifespan software upgrade wise as gen 1 did, though being iOS based this may help apart from hardware dependent things.

The point was that I found the ATV1 to be better than the ATV2, IMO of course.

Water bottle spilled on my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb . what do i do ?

My water bottle spilled on my ipod touch 2gen 8gb and when i saw it i shut it down and i ran home and dried it off. i put it in a bag of rice for a night and i saw no progress. now the screen is black and there is no response. im scared because i have 1567 songs in there last time i synced it on itunes which was the night before
i dont mind as much if the ipod is completely dead because its old and i can get the new one
but im scared for my songs. is there a way i can get it back. im scared to plug it back in because im scared of shorting a circuit or something ir making the situation worse
i dont know what to do and its in rice at the moment and im scared to plug it into my computer
how do i get my songs back thats what im worried about atm

what do you mean. the songs from my ipod aren't on itunes right noww
i think
Its ewasy to remove any doubt. Go to your computer and launch iTunes. At the of the left frame you should see the word Music. Click on Music. You will see your music either as a list, or as a list with the album art (cover flow). If you do not see any songs, then you're done.

Recently lost the ability to Stream Video using homesharing from Macbook to apple tv (2nd Gen). Audio still streams normally.

I use my Macbook to regularily download a video podcast overnight and then use Homesharing to stream it to my apple TV in the morning. Within the past couple weeks that function has stopped working properly. I get the spinning wheel from my Apple TV as it trys to stream or buffer the video file but it never loads. Audio files on the other hand still work perfectly fine.
I've opened the TCP and UDP ports on my router and tried a different router thinking that was the problem to no avail.
Any Suggestions?

I believe what I'm reffering to is homesharing but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm using the "Computers" app on the apple TV to stream Podcasts from my macbook Itunes Library.
Homesharing or Airplay?
Why do the audio files stream fine but the video files do not?
The video files im referring too are TV shows, movies and podcasts all streamed from my macbooks itunes library.

2nd Gen 8Gb Nano Issues w/ WinXP...

Hey all, I have a relatively major problem...
I just bought a pair of 8Gb Nanos (one for the SO and myself), and mine is working totally fine, but the other one is basically all whacked out when trying to connect to the 'puter... It still has all of the music on it, but I can't get it to recognize in XP or iTunes...
And, for the record, I have tried most of the easy fixes (ir reset, set to disk mode, etc) but I still have had no luck.
Any ideas? Or should I generate an Apple Service Order now...?
Thanks in advance,
A

If you are using them both on the same computer it's possible that the computer is confusing the drive letter for the ipods. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
Check this link also as it lists several reasons that this may be going on.

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB won't connect to Wi-Fi

I've tried resetting the wireless router, resetting my iPod, restoring it even, but to no avail. What can I do?

Thanks for your response. I didn't know about this -- just tried it, and I was able to load a web site- but then immediately the connection dropped again. Tried it several more times, and wasn't able to connect again. About half of my app icons are just white with no images, I wonder if there is a larger problem going on here....

IPod Touch 2nd Gen (8gb) Loads to Apple symbol, then turns off, and repeats.

Okay so I went into my settings to do a reset on the iPod Touch. I did the reset and now all the iPod does is load the the black screen with the Apple symbol, stay on for a few minutes, turn off, and repeat.
When I connect the iPod to ANY computer with iTunes, it doesn't even show the iPod as connected. I honestly do not know what to do.
Does anyone have a solution on how to fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Did you by chance not have the iPod connected to a charging source during the erase? It can take hours ao a 1G and 2G iPod and fully drain the battery before it is complete.

How much is a 2nd gen 8gb iPod touch going for?

I am looking to sell it but I am having a hard time finding accurate pricings for it. Everything works fine with it and it has no scratches.

Just Google. look at eBay, Crig's list. The bottom line is not much since it only go to iOS 4.2.1

Error code -120 when updating iPod touch 2nd gen 8GB to iOS 4.1

When i try to update my iPod Touch to iOS 4.1 it gives me an error -120 and it can't backup to the computer.

[Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] should be useful. I don't see error 120 specifically but I think the other info might help resolve your problem.
Hope it helps!

Why does my WindowsXP shut down when myiPod Touch 2nd gen 8gb is connected?

I originally posted this as a topic, but not sure now if that was the right way to go about finding a solution...I'm new here, pardon me.
So,
Everything was operating fine for the first day I was using my new iPod Touch. on the second day, I think I might have disconnected my iPod too soon? The iPod itself is currently operating normally, as is my PC however, every time I connect it to my PC/iTunes, the PC shuts down, then goes to the HP blue screen- the one that gives the "Esc, F1 and F8" options.
I restart and Windows says it has recovered from a serious error and wants to send the report.
PC runs ok until re-connection w/Ipod. Weird, eh? Can someone please help me?

Usually, this indicates a driver conflict or USB port conflict. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
If you have anything else connected via USB try disconnecting it and syncing.
