    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes.
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

    Connect it to iTunes on this new Mac and restore it to factory settings.  See this article for instructions on restoring your Shuffle.

  • How to go back to the first track on ipod shuffle 2nd generation

    how can i go back to the first track on my ipod shuffle 2nd generation?
    the first tracks in my shuffle-playlist are my new podcasts, at second place is my current audiobook, sequentially the music is listed.
    the podcasts and audiobooks are marked with the tag "not play while shuffle play". so that works fine. if a shuffle my songs, it only plays the music.
    but if i want to go back to the beginning of the list, because of listening to my audiobook or podcasts, it won't work unless i skip to my hundreds of songs or reconnect it with my computer. even if i turn off the ipod it won't start from the beginning of the playlist.
    that ***** a little bit. is there a trick, to go back to the first track?

    Here's how: Turn it OFF and switch to play-in-order mode. Now turn it back on and press PLAY. IF it's not playing the first track, press PLAY 3 times quickly...that should get you to the beginning of the serially playable content on your Shuffle.

  • Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation OneClick Problems

    Hi
    I have an ipod shuffle (2nd generation) and have downloaded the OneClickDigital media manager from the App store.
    This has allowed me to check out audiobooks from my library... and they download to this program and I can play them there....that much is working.
    The problem is that when I "download/transfer" the audiobook I get an error message that I can't seem to resolve. It says "iPod music is not manually managed....Please check the "Manually manage music and videos" option for your device in iTunes....IMPORTANT: All existing content on the device could be deleted by iTunes by checking this option".
    Now here's the problem. There seems to be no "summary" tab for the ipod shuffle (2nd generation). The response I got from OneClickdigital says "Unfortunately, we are not aware of another way to manually sync music for specific devices other than the Summary tab Options settings.  We do recommend that you contact Apple support directly in regards to questions specific to your device."
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I have the same problem with my ipod.
    It doesn't flash any lights and ive tried all of these ways too.
    Ive had it for less than a year and I won my ipod so I dont really know if i can go to the apple store and they'll fix it for me.
    **Also would they do it or would I have to pay, and have the box, and papers?**
    Because I don't have the cover box, but i have the clear plastic box w/ the white plastic holding that but not the cover box(i dont even remeber if there was a box over the white palstic thing).And i dont have a receipt because i won it, but i have all the other papers that were in the clear box itself even the stickers and everything.

  • TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

    Hello!
    I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
    I could really use some help solving this.
    I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
    Help a brother out, will you???

    Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
    It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
    Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
    - Turn off computer.
    - Plug Shuffle into usb.
    - Then you must reset your shuffle
    To reset iPod shuffle:
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
    Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
    Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
    - Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
    - Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
    I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
    Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
    Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
    Stop it and select "apple ipod".

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation HELP NEEDED !!!

    I have an iPod shuffle 2nd generation, the years suppoort is up and apple have done their best to drop me when all I really need is some technical know how not a huge overhaul of my iPod shuffle! And so here I am my last resort to try and sort this very frustrating issue out.
    Basically I loaded my suffle with songs and gave it to my girlfriend as a gift. We plugged it into the car  (via usb) worked fine also the HD ready TV via the usb docking bay it comes with no problem!!! Sounds lovely so far, but alas the gadget was loved but not the music.
    So we plugged it into my girlfriends laptop, loaded with music in iTunes (latest version). Synced it with this pc and reloaded the music from her laptop. Sounds easy so far but from then on it wont play in the car via usb or the TV!!!! This is so annoying and frustrating so typical of apple in my opinion! I have reset and restored the device umpteen times via iTunes even downloaded the restore software and ran it as an XP proggy as apple hasnt updated it to later versions of windows and still it wont work. The car says its an empty USB yet it plays fine in the car via the 3.5 jack but of coarse we loose all the functionality of the built in car audio control on the wheel etc! And using the device by taking eyes of the road could be disatrous for the misses! The TV shows iTunes folder, Music folder even 3 extra folders F0,0 F01 and F02 but all are empty according to it! But in iTunes obviously the shuffle is full and loaded and it plays fine via the jack plug!
    And so can anyone help shed light why it worked fine through the USB bay supplied with the iPod in the car and the TV until we reassociated with another PC with latest version of iTunes installed. Can this be fixed! Or is it yet another Apple annomoly never to be fixed and brushed under the carpet of rotten cores!
    We both run latest version of windows 7 ultimate with latest version download from apple of iTunes.
    Sincerely!

    hi MissErin!
    the best place to start with that message is here:

  • Problem with iPod Shuffle 2nd generation

    Hi,
    Today I tried to start my iPod shuffle 2nd generation, but it didn't show up in iTunes. I didn't use my iPod for a long time, however I tried to listen to music and everything was just fine. Only when I tried to sync. with iTunes it didn't show up. I followed all the instructions on Apple.com such as reset the iPod, load the battery to full, restart my computer, but nothing worked. I do have the newest version of iTunes.
    I have the newest iMac, running with bootcamp Windows 7. This must not be a problem, because I also sync. my iPod 3rd generation just before trying to sync. my iPod 2nd generation and the iPod 3rd generation worked just fine.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong or how to get my iPod 2nd generation to show up in iTunes again??
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks, that was just it. I used my 3G iPod shuffle connection cable to sync. with my 2G iPod shuffle. Strange that it is impossible to connect the same product, while it is possible to connect the iPhone with older connection cables to  iTunes without any problems.
    Also strange that I couldn´t find any information about this on the Apple website. Thanks anyway!

  • HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

    I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    but there is another unspecified error.
    What is that error?
    Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

    That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less. Google for more.

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd generation is charging but not starting.

    My Ipod shuffle 2nd generation 4 yrs old is charging when i connect it to the computer it blinks orange light then when i eject it, it shows green light. But afterwards when i start it nothing happens. It used to work very nicely before but now Its doesnt respond at all. I have reset it several times. Ipod software version is 1.0.4 and i use it in latest itunes. Please help.

    That most likely problem is that the iPod's battery is worn out and not able to hold a charge anymore.  So, it appears to charge while connect to USB for power, but a few seconds after it is disconnected, it goes dead.

  • Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

    Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
    I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
    1. with the help of any android app
    2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
    3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
    I did try some of the options:
    1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
    2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
    Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
    Thank you!

    If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

  • I have an ipod shuffle 2nd generation.  It is not showing up in itunes -tried restart, software updated   What can I do

    So frustrated,  I have 4 ipod shuffles 2nd generations and I can't get itunes to recognize any of them.   My software is 10.6.3   I have restarted.  Plugged in the ipod usb first, then docked and turned off, then turned on.  Changed USB ports, made sure the software is updated.  HELP! 

    A couple of things that worked for me.
    1. Download and run Apple's iPod Reset Utility:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/iPod_Reset_Utility_1_0_3_for_Mac
    2. If this gets the Shuffle visible in iTunes, go into the Settings for the iPod and enable Disk Usage.
