How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod

How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod?

A "16Gb" iPod nano has enough room to store about 14.5Gb of music, assuming this to be the only media stored there. If by "high quality" you mean lossless, using Apple Lossless/ALAC format, that equates to around 30 hours of music (there will be some variations depending on the nature of the music and the degree to which ALAC compresses the audio data). AIFF files are larger, though of the same quality as ALAC - maximum in this case is approx. 20 hours.
For "iTunes Plus" quality (256kbps lossy compression) files will be between one-third and one-quarter the size of the same music in ALAC, so the total time goes up to around 90-120 hours. My 16Gb 7th gen nano is currently full to capacity using a mix of 256kbps AAC and 320kbps MP3 files - iTunes reports the total time as 4.9 days (117 hours).

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.

Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?

Hi,
Can Apple help owners of 2nd Generation iPod touch upgrade the OS beyond 4.2.1?
If Apple cannot help us, what is the alternative without us hacking the device?

Even hacking it you cannot go further than the equivalent to 4.2.1. The only thing Apple could possibly do is add more RAM.

Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

Why can't I upgrade my 2nd generation ipod from ios 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 so I can download common apps

I want to download common apps on my 2nd generation ipod that has ios4.2.1 system and the apps I try to get need an upgrade ios to 4.3.3. I am told that I can't upgade my ipod... Why not? I like my Ipod.

Because the second gen iPod is incapable of running any version of iOS beyond 4.2.1
If you need to run a newer version of iOS then you will need to upgrade your hardware

If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

Can I Trade in my 2nd Generation iPod Touch and use toward purchase of iPod 4th Generation?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch in excellent condition. Can I trade in and use toward purchase of 4th generation?

No.
Apple recycles old devices. They will give you a 10% discount on a new ipod for bringing in an old one.

How many different email accounts can I put on the iPhone?

I was wondering how many different email accounts the iphone can handle?

Cant say the exact amount but my iphone handles 6 various accounts with no problems. Understand if you have all them accounts checking email every 15 mins then it will drain a large amount of battery. you can get around this by mail forwarding to just one account it will save battery trust me. All the large email account providers Gmail, Hotmail etc all have this feature now available.

iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes

I just upgraded to a 4th generation ipod touch. How do I get all of my stuff from my 2nd generation ipod touch to my new one?

I have already tried to do a back up on my second generation iPod, but for some reason it wouldn't sync to my new iPod because it wasn't compatible. I literally want to take everything from my old iPod (the contacts, photos, notes, everything) and put it on my new one.

It sounds like both iPods need to be running the same version of iOS. If it's possible to upgrade both to iOS 6 then do that and try again.
If not, just back up your older iPod to iTunes, so that all your music, apps, etc. are in the iTunes library and then move them manually to your new iPod once connected. It will take longer but it's better than nothing.

How many hours can i download

How many hours of music time can I download onto my 2nd generation iPod shuffle please?

Depends on the audio file type and "bitrate" (compression) of the song files. Songs encoded at lower quality take up less space per song, compared to the same song encoded at a higher quality. And songs encoded with no loss in sound quality ("lossless") take up MUCH more space.
You can load just under 2GB of song files on the current 4th gen shuffle. My older 1GB shuffle, loaded to almost 100% with a typical mix of MP3 and AAC files, currently has about 8 hours of music. So, a 2GB shuffle would be double. But again, it depends on your situation. I'm just giving you my situation.

I have a 2nd generation iPod....I have switch on the OFF position and it will periodically turn on (thus draining the battery) by itself. How can I fix this?

I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle. Recently, after I turn switch to OFF position, it will turn on (green light flicks on) by itself periodically and obviously battery gets drained. How can I fix this?

I don't know of a way to fix an issue with the switch, if it's a hardware issue. You can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, to see if there's some software glitch.
However, I often leave my shuffle with the power swtich in the ON position. When you are not playing music, the shuffle goes into a "sleep" mode after about a minute. You'll notice that you need to press the Play button twice to get it to play again; the first press wakes it up. In my day-to-day experience, I don't notice any difference in battery life between the shuffle being OFF and ON (and not playing), even if I leave it ON overnight. And keeping it ON avoids needing to constantly move the tiny swtich, and saves it from wear and tear.
So, you might try just keeping the power swtich in the ON position, and pausing playback to "turn it OFF."
