2nd Generation Ipod won't sync. Can anyone help?

I have a 2nd generation IPOD that will not sync. Can anyone help?

Did it sync before? Is this the same computer it synced with? Is it giving you any error messages? Does it show up in iTunes?

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

2nd generation Ipod nano not syncing?

My 2nd generation Ipod nano won't sync up with my Itunes library anymore after updating to Mountain Lion and the latest version of Itunes. I plug it into the USB port on the laptop and the Ipod beeps and seems to be getting charged by the laptop but no sign of connectivity on Itunes. I've also got an Ipod shuffle that I used just earlier today and it seemed to work fine with the same set up. I'd like to switch back to using the Nano though and it seems to work fine other than Itunes not recognizing it now. I know it's old but if it seems to work fine and i'd like to keep using it if I can sync it up. Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2.

I have unfortuantly had the exact same problem following my update to iTunes 11.
Incase someone explains the problem for me and not you, here is the link to my post. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4755057

My ipod reset the menu can anyone help me

i went to a friends house and before i went my ipod battery waz very low and wen i waz out my dad charged it for me (so wen i got back it would be fully charged and i could use it)but wen i got back i turned my ipod on and all the settings had been reset..???? all of my songs were still there but the menu waz completly reset i think its just because the battery ran flat before he charged it therefore causing it to reset the menu but i waz wondering if theres any other cause and if it damaged the ipod and is it a problem..??? can anyone help me with this
thanx

so does updating it improve its battery life or
restoring it because im getting rubish battery time
from my nano!
I assume you know that the backlight kills your battery and that the quoted battery life is for operation under perfect conditions. I just posted this in another thread and I'm reposting it here for you....
Specially about the battery, it lasts very little of
I expected. (About 4-6 hours, ligh off, equalizer
rock, moderate volume).
Is it actually running out, or are you going by the meter? The vast majority of people who have this problem aren't actually running out of power. They only think they are. The meter is very inaccurate. After my iPod reaches zero, my iPod continues to work for five hours or more.
If you want the meter to be more accurate, let the iPod run down completely, but don't do this too often. Just once in a blue moon. This will calibrate the meter but has nothing to do with the battery itself.
The "life-use" of Li-ion batteries is to little too
(about 500 cycle-charges)
If you don't like Li-ion, the bad new for you is that Li-ion batteries are now used in all products by all manufacturers. ALL rechargeable batteries, no matter what type they are have a limited number of charge cycles - your phone, your laptop, everything. The only difference with Apple is that they're telling you this up front.
Do you know or somebodys knows some way to extend
battery charge?
No, but if you follow the advice above, hopefully this won't be an issue.

My notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail. Can anyone help me recover them?

My Notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail. It may have been after a sync. Can anyone help me recover them?

Looks that something has gone wrong with the reset as you still have Firefox profile folders with a date/time stamp that a reset creates, but are using a regular default profile.<br />
Such a new default profile is likely to have been created because of a problem with the profiles.ini file (if profiles.ini is missing the Firefox will create a new default profile).
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
You can look at the time stamps or check the name of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Snapchat and camera apps won't work can anyone help

Can anyone help it hasn't worked for 3 days and it's annoying me

Hello Tom,
I recommend trying these steps if you are experiencing issues with applications that use the Camera on your iPhone:
Camera is not functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

My 2nd generation ipod touch is frozen... help please?

I went to turn my 2nd generation ipod touch off by pressing the top button, and it is now frozen on the screen that has the "slide to power of" bar across the top and the "cancel" bar on the bottom. I have tried to press both buttons but nothing seems to happen... and it will not restart at all. I also tried plugging it into itunes and it WILL charge but not turn on at all. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
If you have done both the methods in the article below which looks like you have. Plus you connected to a power source and it is not progressing past current screen. You have a couple options.
1. allow touch to drain the battery, then reconnect and allow it to charge
2. Make an appointment at your local apple retail store and or contact your iPod Touch support group.

5th Generation iPod won't sync with iMac iTunes 9

PLEASE help. 5th generation 8GB iPod will not sync with iTunes 9 on my iMac OSx 10.4.11. Hubby rebooted system and now I have zero songs on my iPod. I have restored iPod to factory settings and still zero songs. Itunes says sync complete everything looks good but iPod still says zero songs. Tried using new user account on iMac and going into iPod disk mode...no success. Also tried restoring playlist from PC running windows 7 still nothing. Please help...must have my tunes back asap...THANK YOU anyone who can help.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

2nd generation iPod touch not syncing with computer

When I plug in my 2nd generation 8g iPod touch, it doesn't say "syncing" and it doesn't show up as a device on my computer. I tested the cord with a wall charger, and it's not the cord's problem. Is it because my iPod is an older system? My iTunes updated by itself so it's the newest version. Help!!!

I have unfortuantly had the exact same problem following my update to iTunes 11.

5th Generation iPod won't sync video, says "format not supported"

My 5th gen iPod has stopped syncing video that formerly was happily synced, including a TV show I bought in iTunes. Only one video, a movie I converted in Handbrake, still syncs.
Anybody got any ideas?

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

Imessage won't work after amending apple ID and contacts are synced, can anyone help?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help. We have 5 apple devices in our household, an i pod touch, mini i pad, i pad and two i phones. We have a family apple ID address that we have just had to change and since changing this it has caused a problem in the two I phones. We have I cloud, but we have now lost the ability to use I message, also both my husband and I's contact lists have merged onto each others phones, it's almost as if his phone has taken clone ship of mine, changing all the names on my text messages to those of people we both have stored in contacts just under different titles. It's all very confusing and we have spent nearly 4 hours trying to sort it out, for something that was as simple as changing an apple ID we seem to have created a never ending problem! Can anyone please help? Thank you

Since writing this, I have now noticed after switching the device off and back on again that the only person that I cannot actually I message is my husband, is this because we have the same I cloud address?
