Charging an 2nd Generation iPod on an XP machine without iTunes

Hi,
I hate to ask but I need to charge my iPod on a PC without iTunes. How do I do it? I looked for other posts but I must be using the wrong keywords as I have found nothing. I am desperate. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Also, does the shuffle need to be on or off?
I've always turned mine OFF...it doesn't really matter other than to verify, when you turn it on that it's charged (green LED which also should light when you remove shuffle from the dock to signify state of charge).

2nd generation iPod not being shown on iTunes 11.4
How do I resolve this issue? I have tried reinstalling after uninstalling it, nothing has worked for me any advice?

Well, go ahead and try every port, make sure to clean out the port with a q-tip, to make sure no dust is blocking the ports.
Then enter DFU, if iTunes doesnt recoginze it when your in DFU, that means you charging input is damadged.
Hope this help

2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook

Hello all,
So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.

2nd Generation iPod Touch stuck in "Connect to iTunes" mode

I was using a 2010 ipod Touch today and when I later turned it on I get the iTunes must connect display.
I don't have a backup. If I restore and update, will I lose all the photos?
Is there any way to recover this data if so?
My niece will be heartbroken if the all her photos are lost.....

Now that's a heck of a glitch. She's been using it for three years.
The battery was fully charged and after taking several pictures, that's what came up.
Not sure how many pics are still in iCloud.
I saw a few 3rd party apps that claim to recover, wonder if these are a waste of time.

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

I lost the original dock to my 2nd generation ipod shuffle, I have a new charger but it doesn't work. How can I charge it?

If by "charger," you mean the USB docking cable, you need the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement cable). A cable that is for the current 4th gen (and 3rd gen) shuffle does not work with a 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
This is the Apple replacement part (for a 2nd gen shuffle)

There are third-party products that work, but make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle. And I would avoid the ones that just seem too cheap, because there are likely to be quality issues.

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
Best of luck getting it to work!

2nd Generation iPod Nano Dead?

My 2nd generation iPod Nano was working fine this morning. Played music as it did for all these years. Later this afternoon I turned it on and the display would not light up. No music played. Seems like the battery is totally drained. Plugged into USB wall charger (from Apple) and get no indication whethr or not this thing is charging. Same when I plugged into my Mac. Does not show up in iTunes or on the desktop.
Is my iPod Nano Dead? Has the battery bitten the dust and cannot be recharged again? It's a shame that none of these iPods have user replaceable batteries... Other than being dead I am quite sure that if I could put in a new battery it would work again. I don't like spending a lot of money for something that does not last me at least 10 years.

If the iPod's battery has been fully drained it can at least 30 minutes or more of charging for the iPod to show any signs of life and even after that a hard reset might be required. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Select?Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

TS1369 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle with Windows 8?

How do you get a 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle compatible with Windows 8? (it works on just fine in earlier versions)
If you plug it in through a USB connection it blinks orange/green really really fast. It is not recognized neither by Itunes or Windows (PC), Not recognized nor taking any charge.
I first thought it just came to the end of its life, but then plugging it in with my old laptom (Windows XP) and another laptop (Widows Vista) it worked just fine.
I have the newest version of all my software, so this has to be a driver compatibility issue, the question has Apple solved it yet?

I asked about the USB docking cable because some folks who also have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle were trying to use the cable from those shuffles with a 2nd gen shuffle. Or they bought a replacement part that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. It fits, but the connector is different, so it does not work.
You have determined that the shuffle and its cable work properly when connected to a different computer. Since the Windows 8 computer is a new computer that was not used with this shuffle before, the cause could be related to the computer's hardware or software.
As a test, if you have another device that is similar to an iPod, such as a USB flash drive or a mini external hard drive that is powered by the USB port (not something low-power like a mouse or keyboard), connect it to the computer's USB port to confirm the port does generally work for other things.
If the USB port is confirmed to work for other devices, if you have a USB hub, as another test, connect the hub to the USB port. Perferably, the hub is the type that is self-powered (has its own power supply). Connect the shuffle to the hub to see if that makes any difference if the hub is between the iPod and the computer.

2nd generation ipod touch wont turn on. The screen blinks but the apple icon doesn't show up.

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I got from a friend. I drove all the way across the country (three day trip) and it worked perfectly. It was in a hard case and has no damages to it. I haven't dropped it or gotten water on it at all. But for some reason the screen wont turn on. It blinks on and off when I plug it into the charger (and theres like a soft clicking noise that I hear when the screen blinks) but the apple logo wont show up. And it doesn't seem to actually be charging. It doesn't seem to actually die all the way either.... It's weird.. but I know no damages have happened to it so I don't know what to do. I've tried to reset it (pressing and holding the home and power buttons) but that wont work either. Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
