HT5610 is ipod nano 2nd generation compatible with Windows 8?

my ipod nano 2nd generation,  will not sync.  itunes says it is syncing, but nothing changes on my ipod. i tried resetting it, and everything stays the same on the ipod, not matching my current library.   i also tried manually dragging and dropping items onto the device, and still nothing happens.  i don't want to wipe everything off my ipod if it isn't compatible with windows 8, because then i won't be able to put my library, what songs/playlists are already there,  back on the ipod.

it was until the last update of itunes, and many are having issues

  • Should an iPod Nano 2nd Generation Work With Windows Vista?

    I understand that many people are having problems with their iPods and come here for support and solutions.
    I'm just wondering if the iPod Nano 2nd generation 4g I have that is working just fine SHOULD work with latest iTunes on Windows Vista laptop (which I haven't used yet)?

    Just to close this out I was able to connect the second generation 4g iPod Nano without issue. In a matter of minutes I had it loaded, recognized by iTunes with up-to-date software, sync with over 900 songs and almost 200 pictures and then ejected (I manually manage music)! Really sorry for those who can't get iTunes and/or iPod to work!

    I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

  • IS IPOD TOUCH 2nd GENERATION COMPATIBLE WITH ICLOUD AND OS X LION?

    Trying to update iPod Touch to the iCloud. Is 2nd generation compatible to update to new iTune update and iCloud?

    Sorry, but it is not. It can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1.  Only 3G and 4G iPod Touches can be updated to latest iOS 5 that supports iCloud.

  • Nano 2nd Generation, Problems with Songs ???

    Hello, I have transfered songs from my iTunes to my Nano and there is 2 songs that play for couple of seconds than just stops and goes to the next song. Weird thing is when i go to play the song directly from iTunes it plays normally. I have also downloaded the songs to my Ipod Video 30gb and the same exact songs play normal with no problems. ?????? I just dont understand whats wrong. I have even did the 5 R's and restored my Nano and still the same problems with just those 2 songs. I could just go without those 2 songs but, it just makes me curious to why it works in iTunes and on my Ipod Video 30gb, but not on the Nano. If you have had this problem before or know of a solution your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for taking the time to read this...
    Ipod Nano 2nd Generation   Other OS   Windows Vista

    I have this exact same problem, but after doing the 5 R's it is now cutting songs short that didn't have that problem before. Unlike Junz, I can't live with random songs being cut off. I am very interested in an answer as well.

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

    I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
    The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
    The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
    This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
    My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
    Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
    Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.

    Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
    After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
    BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
    Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.

  • My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

    my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

    This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC.  So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC.  Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
    It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
    If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
    Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there.  If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.
