Can a ipod shuffle 4th generation be compatible with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

i have a ipod shuffle 4th generation and bought an ipod shuffle 2nd generation charger that can be plugged into an computer/laptop. i plugged both together but nothing pops up upon the computer saying that the computer is sync with the ipod or saying its charging. i was wondering is there something wrong with my ipod shuffle or maybe they arent compatible?

You can't charge and sync a 4G Shuffle with a 2G Shuffle cable.

Why will iTunes v. 8.0.2 not load my songs to my iPod Classic 3rd generation ver. 2.3 using OS 10.5 ?

Problem: iTunes does not automatically transfer my songs to my iPod.
I have an iPod Classic 3rd generation v.2.3, it has a 20GB capacity, I'm using iTunes 8.0.2 and am connected to a Mirror Drive Door 1.25 GB DP running OS 10.5. I am using the Firewire Dock to communicate with my Mac and to charge/power my iPad.
It has a bad battery, however, it still holds a charge. I've been able to reset the iPod. I do not have the installation disk. The iPod does cause iTunes to open. The iPod shows up in the iTunes sidebar. It shows that it has checked for updates. However, I'm using a dial-up connection and thus, it will not finalize a connection with Apple to do the RESTORE. My problem is that according to the manual any songs in iTunes will download to the iPod automatically. Well, it does not do that. In fact, I have seen no evidence that that downloading process has ever been initiated. I have connected the iPod at least a dozen time with the the dock plugged in when placing the iPod into the dock. I've also plugged the Firewire connector into the port on my Mac with the iPod already in the dock.
Am I missing some step or some setting that I have to do manually for the transfer from iTunes to the iPod to take place?
Anyone have any ideas, I would appreciate assistance from my fellow Mac compatriots for your help with this problem.

Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1. This is the highest version that works on this device. I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
Apple does make it harder than it needs to be. There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

I have an iPod Classic. Is it compatible with the iCloud?

Ok, I uploaded some photos of my grandson on my iPod from a friends computer. This was, of course, when I did not have a computer of my own. I have since moved away and no longer are in contact with said friend. I now have a new computer and want to transfer or copy these photos from my iPod Classic to my computer using iCloud. Is iCloud compatible with my iPod and if so, how?
I also need to know how to get iCloud on my iPod. Can this even be done? I know I cannot get it on my computer until I have it on my other devices but can't do that even until I start an iCloud account.
As you can tell, I am not a techie...so I am at a complete loss here. Any help would be very appreciated as I do not want to lose these photos of my grandson. They are the only ones I have. I do not have any copies at all available anywhere else. I need help please. Thanks again.

To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.

IPod Classic 3rd Generation

I have an iPod Classic Third Generation that I think has a bad hard drive. I wan't to put it in recovery mode, but can't seem to find the right combination. Does this iPod have the little utility that if you hold down center and previous it will let you check it out? I have tried this key combination on this iPod but nothing happens. Any help?

can not load/don't know how to load games from itunes to my ipod. (free games)
Those are apps which are only compatible with the iPod touch and iPhone. All of the games compatible with your iPod in the iTunes Store cost money.

There or no setting for docks.

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

IPod Classic (5th and 6th gen) with Apple Universal Dock - static fuzz?!?!

I have been using my ipod classics with a Belkin input in the headphone jack for the last 6 months to my stereo. But I wanted a remote, so I picked up the Universal Dock. But ever since I got the dock, about 30 min into listening to music I get a static fuzz on the speakers. The fuzz goes away when I un-dock the iPod, then back again eventually once I re-dock. I never get the sound when I just use the line out from the iPod. I thought it was a faulty Universal Dock, so I exchanged it, but the same problem exists. Why?!?!?!?!
Anyone else have a similar problem?
I really want to continue using the Apple Dock, but the static spoils the deal

Need Help Getting New iPod Classic to work on system with existing iPods

I have an iPod shuffle (for workouts) and an iPod photo 60GB which I have had for some time. I have iTunes 8.
Got a new iPod Classic 120 GB for Father's Day - I cannot get it to work with iTunes yet. Plugged it in and nothing happened. iTunes just acted normal, no setup assistant, nothing. Going to reboot and see if it does the same thing, but in the meantime I am hoping someone here can advise.
Thanks in advance,
jf

Turns out, of all things, it was the cable - seems the 'old' cable does not work with new iPods, but the newer cable that comes with Classics works with everything - cable was updated somehow, per Apple.
Thanks,
jf

IPod shuffle second generation not compatible with latest iTunes?

Edit: re-reading this message I notice I say sync when talking about the iPod shuffles. Note that there is NO sync option shown in iTunes, only auto fill. Whenever I say sync regarding the shuffles, I mean auto fill. Syncing for the iPod Touches works fine though.
My sister recently got three iPod touches for her family and I helped set them up. I had no problems setting them up at all. It's when she brought me two iPod Shuffles (generation 2), one for my niece since she's not old enough to use an expensive iPod touch, where the headaches began. When choosing to synch, iTunes says it is waiting for the iPod and hangs for a good 2+ minutes. After it unfreezes, with no error messages, I see no changes, and no music is on the iPod (either of them).
The iTunes version is 8.1.1.10, which is the latest currently. Much to my horror Internet searches show a multitude of people claiming the iPod shuffles gen 1 and 2 do not properly work with the latest iTunes software! Is this true, and if so has Apple released any statement on the matter?
This program came to our rescue:
http://www.getsharepod.com/
I was successfully able to add music to the gen 2 iPod shuffles using that program, and indeed I know not to run both it and iTunes at the same time. iTunes was even able to display the tracks and play list I created with Sharepod, but the "fill" command still did the same thing: caused iTunes to hang for a time while saying it was waiting for the iPod and then continue as if it finished properly later... with no changes made at all. Even the check boxes for settings don't seem to save, but iTunes does properly name the devices. One is for one of my nephews and one is for my niece. Dragging songs to the iPod shuffle causes the same behavior of freezing for a time before unfreezing with no songs added to the device. I must note that by freeze I don't mean Windows says it's not responding. I can tab out and minimize/restore the program fine. All controls in the program such as clicking on play lists or trying to access the menus or clicking things do nothing until it unfreezes though. Since the iPod touches sync so incredibly quickly, I don't know if the program freezes during a normal sync.
After creating three separate libraries (my sister does not want each child having their own Windows name) and successfully showing the kids how to hold shift to choose a library when starting the program, each device is properly bound to each of my sister's family's names. As I said the iPod touches work perfectly so I am going to assume this is the dreaded incompatibly the latest software has with the iPod shuffle gen 2s?
Is there a fix for this issue or are we just stuck using third party software to deal with the iPod shuffles?

Thanks! SharePod really did the trick.
iTunes 8.1.1.10 wiped out my 2nd generation Shuffle. SharePod is the only way I can put songs in any more. From the looks of the forum I'm not the only one. Sure hope Apple figures it out soon!

I have an iPod Classic 3rd generation and I can't connect with iTunes.

iTunes is updated to the highest update, so it could be that the iPod is too old, but I can't connect my iPhone 4 either so I don't know what the problem is.

It might not hurt to uninstall/remove all Apple related software from your system and download fresh copies from Apple's servers/website.

Can an old iPod classic charger brick be used with new iPod nano?

I have an Apple ModelA1102 W005A050 wall charger. I came with the iPod I purchased in 2005.
Can it be used to charge the new iPod nano I just purchased?
Thanks.

Yes so long as it has a USB connection on it.

Why is my ipod touch 3rd generation freezing, why is my ipod touch 3rd generation freezing

my ipod touch is frezzing and i dont know why... i have to keep the headphones plugged into the headphon jack for my ipod not to freez.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
