2nd Gen not supported on os x 10.2.8?!!

Sorry guys, I'm new to this forum and I've managed to post this twice already in the wrong forums. D'oh!! :
I have a powerbook G4, mac os x 10.2.8, and a big headache.
I've just been bought a 2nd gen ipod nano one as an early xmas present, only to find it isn't compatible with os x 10.2.8!!! This is pathetic!
The only solution seems to be to pay out for a version of os X 10.4 which will all too soon be succeeded by 10.5! How long until 10.4 becomes obsolete? 10.2 started losing support very quickly. At £90 a throw constanly bringing out updates are a massive rip-off.
Why are Mac so overbearing when it comes to making basic hardware incompatible with older versions of Macs?!!
I'm disgusted that in this day and age we can pay £120 + for an mp3 player and it not even work. It's a real indictment on macintosh when you consider that windows' compatibility with most mp3 players is simple, straightforward and cheap, and you don't have to keep updating the OS.
My gf had a 1st gen ipod which was supposed to be compatible with 10.3.9 only but that worked fine on the 10.2.8 we are using. I don't know why they couldn't sort this out.
Sorry to use this forum to moan. Is there anything that can be done that doesn't involve paying £90 now and £90 next spring just to keep my Mac from becoming obsolete in six months, and use a product I have already paid for, and Does anybody know where I can direct complaints? The level of service available seems really limited and it seems to me that Apple don't give a toss. I cannot even get hold of a person to speak to over the phone at the bullring birmigham store! Their "speak to operator" option just rings out and rings out without any answer.
Apple have really let themselves go over these last couple of years and I have really lost my faith in them I have to say.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x) OS X's constant upgrades are a rip!!

Ummm.. didn't you read the box or Apple website BEFORE you bought it?
You've made it through almost 3 large OS updates without complaint so I don't see how Apple wronged you.
This is your fault for not looking into this beforehand. There were major changes in OSX starting with X.3 that made it so that some software would not be compatible with the operating systems below that version. iTunes is such software.
* Your nano needs iTunes 7 to sync.
* iTunes 7 does not work is OS9, OSX.1, or OSX.2
Just like it won't work in Windows 98 or ME
An operating system made FOUR and a HALF YEARS ago can not be expected to support into perpetuity hardware that did not exist back then.
Your laptop works just fine, you have no problems upgrading cheaply to X.3 (you don't NEED X.4 despite your claims) and you can cut the pathetic comparisons to how "simple" windows makes it with anything.
He11, their own Zune isn't even supported by Vista.
I for one am glad the OS is updated in approximately 12-18 month intervals instead of allowing it to languish on its laurels. The gains in features are a good thing not a curse. If you want them people are free to upgrade at their discretion. No one is forcing you to upgrade the OS and no one made you buy the Nano. The requirements are all over the place and it was your job to look into it before buying it. Some people are just cheap.

Shuffle (2nd Gen) not been used for a few years - not working at all - any ideas?

My Ipod Shuffle (2nd Gen) has not been used for a long time and now will not give any reponse at all. It won't charge and it is not recognised by ITunes - is there anything I should do?

Sorry... I did not notice your reply.
The initial blinking is good. That means there is a connection between shuffle and computer. But it should continue blinking or become a solid color (ON but not blinking).
It could be a problem with the battery. If a lithium battery is left completely drained for an extended period, it can become unable to hold a charge. However, it could also be a problem with the USB port (such as not enough available power or a USB device conflict). As a test, you should try shutting down the computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on computer.

IPod Touch (2nd gen) not recognized by computer and iTunes

When I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, running Windows 7, neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my iPod. Everything worked before with Vista.
When I plug the iPod into the computer the iPod does turn on put the battery doesn't charge and the iPod does not show on the Device Manager.
I have gone through and uninstalled and the reinstalled iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application support. With no positive result. In fact I have done it twice.
In going back to make sure everything had installed I have noticed several things.
The Apple Software Update, Bonjour, iTunes folders and Common Files are located in Program Files(x86) There are also copies of the Bonjour, iPod, Common Files, and iTunes folders are also located in the Program Files folder. Are these file locations correct?
Also, I have read somewhere that there should be usbaapl.cab, usbaapl.inf, usbaapl.sys files. I can't find any of these file. Are these files necessary?
Any help will be appreciated.

greetings rkonrv and welcome to Apple discussions !
it seems your have seen this KG then.
maybe this tip by Beebopp (though a little off topic) will provide some pointers:
+This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.+
+Here are the steps:+
+1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"+
+2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account+
+3. Single left click on START+
+4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)+
+5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)+
+6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)+
+7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)+
+8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties+
+9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab+
+10. Single left click on " Update driver "+
+11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista+
+12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown+
+13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "+
+14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.+
+15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.+
+16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.+
+17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.+
good luck !

Ipod shuffle 2nd Gen- Not Recognised by Windows 8.1 Laptop

Hi All,
I have HP Laptop with .... Windows 8.1 / 4gb RAM / Intel i3 / 64-bit, i am trying to connect my Ipod shuffle (2nd gen) to laptop but its failed in Itunes (i got updated one) as well as in Windows..
at the same time, the same ipod i can connect and use at windows XP computer.
is anyone there to help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rahul

Unfortunately, I use a Mac; I'm not a day-to-day Windows user... When you connect your USB flash drive, it should appear as a device in a Windows view, like the one you provided as a screenshot. When you connect your shuffle, if things are working normally, the shuffle should similarly appears as a device. Whether it is recognized as an iPod or not, it should appear as a device. If it does not, that means the USB (3.0) port (on your laptop) does not see that you have connected the shuffle. If it does (appear in Windows), that's good news. You may be able to trouble-shoot and fix the problem, using this document
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes - Apple Support
I suggested trying a self-powered USB 2.0 hub (if you have one), because the hub should be recognized as a device by Windows. In the screenshot, it looks like there are two hubs already connected ("Generic USB Hub"), unless that is something internal that is identified as a "hub." If a hub is older and works with the shuffle, then your laptop may be able to connect to the shuffle through the hub.
Here are two other things you can try.
(1) You said the shuffle still works with your older PC. Connect it to iTunes on that computer, and go to the shuffle's Settings screen (select shuffle in iTunes). There is a checkbox for Enable disk use. Check that box and Apply. With this setting enabled, the shuffle acts like a USB flash drive (to Windows). Maybe that will let Windows see it, and then iTunes will also see it (as an iPod). NOTE: When disk use is enabled, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it, because the iPod's disk is continuously mounted by the system.
(2) If the above does not help, connect it to iTunes on the older PC, and do a Restore on the shuffle. This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
It's a long shot, but maybe there is some kind of odd data corruption on the shuffle's storage that is causing the laptop to not see it (even though the old PC can see it fine). After doing the Restore on the older PC, connect it to the laptop.

IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen not turning on what ever I do. Help!

Hi guys,
My mum brought a iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation from Apple Store when it was top of its model. I use the apple charger that comes with it.
Some reason I have found it in a pile o' stuff and it doesnt show up on the Desktop or iTunes. I tried iPod Reset Utillity (it doesnt show up either),
and I installed iPod support off my old OS X install disc. I did the Reboot,Reset,Retry etc... but it doesnt work. I dont want to buy anything else.
Is there anything I could do?
My OS is: Mac OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion
iPod Shuffle: iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation (unknown year)

The Genius Bar at an Apple Store does not charge you, unless they do some repair work, and they won't do work on a 2nd gen shuffle at this point, only help with troubleshooting.
For example, in your case, the problem seems to be no connection, for power or data. That could be a problem on the USB port, on the USB cable, or on the shuffle itself. I think you've ruled out a bad USB port by trying multiple computers. You can't rule out a bad USB cable unless you have another shuffle to try with your cable, or you have another (known-good) cable to try with your shuffle. The Genius Bar probably has a cable they know is good. If your shuffle works with that cable, you have a bad cable. If it does not, then the problem is likely to be something in the shuffle, such as a bad headphones jack or logic board or something else.
NOTE: The short USB cable that is for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle will fit on a 2nd gen shuffle, but it will not work. The connector is different. But there are similar looking third-party cables that are made for the 2nd gen shuffle.

IPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) not charging, just blinks orange once.

Hi,
I was using this iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen for almost 4 years without any problem, After I got iPod Touch 4G a year back, I stopped using shuffle for almost a year. When I looked at it recently, of course, to give it to my niece - it's not responding. Thinking that battery drained, I tried to charge the shuffle using the then supplied USB doc.
When connected it just blinked orange once - only once that's it. Nothing happend. Even after keeping it for a whole night, nothing happend. It doesn't play, iTunes won't recognize, but windows 7 says "USB Device not recognized", and it was showed under Generic USB Hub as "Unknown Device"
I used USB 2.0 port back of my computer.
Tried using 3rd gen shuffle charging cable, but this time not even the orange blink.
Tried suggested resetting option (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655), but invain.
Any suggestions?

If you do
Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report
to run System Information (or System Profiler), does the "iPod" appear as a connected device under
Hardware -> USB
Try doing the above with the shuffle connected directly AND using the power USB hub you mentioned.
Have you tried connecting something else to that USB port, to confirm it is working properly? Preferably, it should be something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive (data storage devices that get power from the USB port).
Two other related tests... Create a new user account in System Preferences Users & Groups pane. The new user account can be Standard or Admin. Log out and log in to the new user account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new user account, run iTunes and connect the shuffle.
And the other test. Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Connect the shuffle while started up in safe mode, to see if it appears anywhere. These two test are to see if you have a process running when you start up normally, that interferes with the iPod being recognized.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen not getting detected in windows 7 64bit

i got an apple ipod shuffle 2nd gen and it is not getting connected in windows 7 64bit,but it perfectly works in windows 7 32bit,what to do.tried installiny itunes,reset etc.

Hey, I hear ya and can sympathize. I have the same
issue. The difference is that my computer can "see"
my ipod but it refuses to show up in itunes itself;
therefore, I can't put anything on the ipod (from the
computer) and vice-versa. Apple support is clueless.
This is very frustrating to say the least. Itunes
keeps telling me that my ipod is synced to a
"different" computer, which isn't true. It's the
same computer. The difference is that when I first
got the 'pod and used it with this computer (and
everything worked fine), I was running XP. I
installed Vista and after that, all the problems
started. If I ever get this resolved, believe me,
I'll post something here.
I'm guessing that somehow, itunes "sees" what
computer it's hooked to by "looking" at something in
the OS. Change the OS and it "thinks" it's seeing a
"different" computer.
Try reformatting it.

IPod shuffle 2nd Gen not appearing in Windows Vista

Dear All:
I have a 2nd Gen shuffle that will not show up in iTunes or Windows on a Vista Home Basic machine. Vista finds an unrecognized USB device and cannot find a driver. The orange light on the shuffle blinks, and the Vista device manager keeps detecting an unknown USB device, but it goes no further. I am not receiving the "-50" error; the shuffle never shows up in either Vista or iTunes.
I have contacted Apple tech support and searched these forums with no results.
I have also:
-Run a different iPod (30GB video) on the same Vista computer. The 30GB video iPod works fine.
-Run the iTunes diagnostics on the same Vista computer on both the 30GB video (30GB iPod works fine) and the shuffle (shuffle not detected).
-Reinstalled iTunes from scratch on the Vista computer (3 different times) as described in
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042
shuffle not detected.
-Restarted the iPod service on the Vista computer as suggested by
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
shuffle not detected.
-Reset the shuffle and plugged back into the same Vista computer. shuffle not detected.
-Tested on a different USB port on the same Vista computer. shuffle not detected.
-Tested on a MacBook Pro in the same shuffle cradle. shuffle works fine.
-Tested on a Windows XP box in a different cradle. shuffle works fine.
-Searched the mother board manufacturer for updated Vista drivers. None available.
Is there another step that I am missing, or is iTunes, the iPod service, and Vista just not talking on this particular computer?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Mac Pro 2nd Gen not shutting down after latest leopard update 10.5.3

I have a mac pro 8 core 2nd gen machine (August 2007) just updated from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3 and immediately after doing so the machine usually will not shut down by it self. It goes through the shut down process, exits finder but then the grey spinning dial just keeps going. I left it for 30 minutes like that, and then realised I had to manually force power down by holding the power button. It does that now all the time, except once. I don't know what could be causing this, works fine otherwise, but really annoying as the machine is located in a difficult to reach spot- so when I finish work I have to reach around and hold down the power button to get it to turn off - wouldnt' mind to fix that.

IPod 2nd gen not showing in iTunes

My iPod 2nd gen hadn't been used for a while, and the battery was dead. I charged it, and connected it to my Mac Mini (1st gen). It is now continuously blinking orange but is not showing up as a device in iTunes (v. 10.6.3). According to the manual, the blinking means it's syncing in iTunes, or the iPod shuffle is enabled for disk use. I don't know what the latter means.
I'm using the original dock, but it is connected to a USB port on my external hard drive which is connected to the mini, since the 1st gen Mini doesn't have enough USB ports. (That shouldn't be a problem though, because my 3rd gen iPod nano shows up in iTunes using that same port.)
I've tried twice to get it to show up in iTunes. The first time it was already connected to the USB port but wasn't showing any lights, and it didn't show up in iTunes. I turned the shuffle off, waited 5 seconds, and turned it on again. Still didn't show up, so I manually removed it from the dock and unplugged the dock. Then I plugged the dock in again, and put the ipod firmly into the dock. Then the orange blinking lights started, but it didn't show up in iTunes that time either. I did get an error message that it had not been put away properly.
Since it wasn't showing up anywhere that I could find (iTunes, Finder, Desktop) to eject it, I shut down the computer, removed the iPod from the dock, restarted the computer, opened iTunes and then put the iPod in the dock. It still doesn't show up as a device in the left-side sidebar of iTunes where it usually does, right after Library, Store, and before Playlist). I can't put it away properly now because I can't find it to eject it. It's still blinking orange. (The right sidebar only has a message about Genius and learning to use it).
I've read previous questions similar to this, but nothing suggested there has worked. If anyone has suggestions/idea, it would be greatly appreciated.
My O.S. is 10.5.8.
Thanks,
Esther

Thanks for providing a good amount of detail.
Enable disk use is a setting (checkbox) on the shuffle's Settings tab in iTunes. It allows you to see the iPod's "disk" on the Desktop continously while it is connected, so that you can copy files to it using Finder (like it was a USB flash drive). The light blinks as a warning to eject before disconnecting, because the iPod's disk is mounted. If that checkbox is NOT checked, iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing, so the light does not blink most of the time (and you can disconnect it without ejecting).
Although you have confirmed that the USB port on the external drive (Is it an OWC miniStack?), which is the same as a powered USB hub, works with another iPod, you may want to disconnect something from a direct USB port temporarily. Connect the shuffles docking cable there, to confirm it's not the port causing the problem.
If you connect it and run Disk Utility instead of iTunes, does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, and you use a Mac, you can try using the iPod Reset Utility

IPod Nano 4Gb (2nd Gen) not detected by Windows or iTunes

I am hoping someone can help me with this as I am at my wits end.
When I plug my iPod into the usb port, it begins the charging process, but neither windows, nor iTunes will detect any new devices. I have tried the 4 R's (the fifth needs a connection with iTunes), putting it into disc mode, and even on 3 different windows computers, but no dice. To save the no doubt normal questions, The usb ports are 2.0, and brand spanking new, which i have tested sucessfully with other usb devices, so I know it's not the usb port. I have the latest drivers & updates installed, and the latest version of iTunes also installed.
Other potentially useful info:
The model is iPod nano 4bg alu 2nd gen
It's not new, i was given it as a gift by a friend who upgraded to the video model.
Though I can't be sure, I suspect that the dock cable isn't an apple product. Given that *very few* places where I live sell official iPod accessories, it is difficult for me to check.
Like I said, i really hope someone can help me, I really don't know how long i can go listening to my friends rather dubious music tastes...

Why is my wifi on my ipod touch 2nd gen not working?

Can someone help with the wifi on my ipod touch 2nd Gen? Yesterday it suddenly stopped connecting to anything wifi. No settings were changed. The only thing I did was go to itunes for the first time in well, forever. I always use it on my computer to go in itunes, not my ipod. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could still get on Safari after that but I don't really remember. At some point in the evening it stopped connecting. I can't get on Safari, my mail won't refresh, it would connect to the app store, nothing. Sometimes a message does pop up saying there was a problem connecting to the server. I can't figure this out, internet on my computer is running perfectly fine. My ipod wifi is on, airplane mode off. When I go into my settings it shows my network and that it's connected. I haven't connected it or synced it to the new itunes. I actually haven't downloaded the update yet. Ipod is up to date though without the new sync. Can anyone help me out? I'm very confused.
Thanks

New ipod nano 2nd gen. not loading onto windows or itunes

I just got an ipod nano 2gb 2nd gen. (refurbished from apple). I updated my former version of itunes (my daughter has a 1st gen. nano, so she's been using itunes with her's with no problems..) to the latest version like the quick start guide says. Plugged in the ipod to the usb port on the back of the computer and the setup wizard pops up, asking to install the software for the device. I try letting it auto search, which it finds nothing, and I get a message saying "your new hardware may not work properly.....". I checked the device manager and the ipod is listed under "other devices" with a question mark by it. I checked to make sure my daughters 1st gen. nano works with the updated itunes and it does with no problems. Now what?

I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.
