Your problem will be that AppleTV only has HDMI and optical output - no analogue out so unless say you had a B&W Zeppelin or similar that has optical in you'd need something esle to decode the audio to ananlogue.
Some have also reported AppleTV not working for audio when TV is off or in standby.
You may be better off having both!

  • How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?

    I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?

    Not sure what you are atlaking about.
    Lose what mui from what ipod.
    Your music should be on your computer.  Sync it to your ipod.

  • I have a MacPro without the updated IOS 7, just purchased an iPod Touch with IOS7, will I be able to download my iTunes library without upgrading my MacPro? I have to keep my computer on old system due to investigation of white collar hacker/frenemy.

    Allan Eckert, my guess is that my reply did not show up until the OPs posted her reply. That problem seems to have restarted this morning. See the post in the Lounge>Community Operations forum for more info.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

    I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My IPOD touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts from the computer to the device.  If I create a contact on the ipod it does not sync to the computer

    My ipod touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts created on the computer.  It does not sync the contacts if they are created on the ipod.  HELP!

    I'm having the same problem with my girl's ipod 4th generation's. I have restored them 4 times now. It works fine after the restore but the very next time it will no longer sync and I have to do the restore again. It's becoming very frustrating.

    I just bought a used 2nd generation iPod Touch. The previous owner did not delete his Apple ID. I don't know his password. Meanwhile, I have a Apple ID and password from my previous Nano and iTunes library. How do I hook my new iPod Touch with my existing account? Currently, I cannot access Apps store on Touch. Help!

    Sign out of the Touch and then sign in Using Your Apple ID...
    No need to create a New ID...

  • My iPod Touch 2nd Gen will not update.

    iTunes tells me that it is up to date using iOS 4.2.1, but I want to update to iOS 5. How do I update my iPod Touch? Is my iPod no longer compatible with Apple? Every time I check for updates, iTunes tells me that my iPod has no further updates. I have made sure that my MacBook is up to date with all of the latest Apple software. Does anyone know the problem?

    That's annoying...So, apple makes new devices and operating systems for them and if your device is no longer compatible, you have to spend another 200 dollars on something that will become obsolete in a year...I have a computer that has been keeping up with current technology for 8 years. It's still compatible with all of it's software and all of the upates. If Apple can't make universal updates, I consider that a failing.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen will not connect to my wifi giving me incorrect password

    Friday when i went to school when i came back and i turned wifi on it asked for my password and it told me incorrect password even though i am 100% sure it is correct. I went to my dads house over the weekend and used wifi there, and when i came back it would keep telling me that i had the incorrect password. My brother also has a 2nd gen itouch with ios 4.1 and same as me and his will connect just fine. I have tried several things and none seem to work. I have not tried updating my ipod or restoring it for several reasons. Does anyone have a fix?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPod touch (2nd Gen) will not play my music!!

    I have restored my iPod touch to factory settings and made iTunes sync my music all over again... and it still won't play my music.
    The music does appear in the music app, however, as soon as I try to play a song, it just pauses it and then it goes back to the playlist.
    Unfortunately my iPod will not upgrade past iOS 4.2.7... it's a very old iPod, but I don't need a new one!! Please help me how do I solve this?

    What happens when you try to load those songs (drag and drop in iTunes) from your iTunes music library to your shuffle?

  • HT1353 im trying to download games on to the ipod touch 2nd gen and looks like the software driver has been removed,what does that mean and how do i sort it?

    i have an iod touch and aparently the software driver has been removed and i had it restored to factory settings as i bought it from someone,what does this mean and how do i solve the problem

    Just what error message are you getting?
    Are you trying to redownload them directly to the iPod?
    If you are getting an error message that included Open GL 2 or similar that means that the app requires that but only the 3G and later iPods support that.

  • My Ipod touch 2nd gen will not sync for some reason to itunes. I've tried almost every possible solution I can find on the internet. The ipod charges fine when connected and Windows also recognizes it as a device but itunes refuses to. What should I do?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for the reply. Your answer crossed my mind but I havent downloaded songs in a while so I never paid attention to whether it was syncing or not. However, in my sync history I see that it successfully synced 3 months ago....
