First, your iPod may need to fully charge which can take a couple hours. You may benefit from downloading the 2nd gen nano manual if you haven't already. If after allowing it to charge for a bit longer and still no life (try this with the iPod ejected from the computer to see if it will power on) then there may be another problem.

  • I have a macbook pro and F3 for launchpad and I tried to restore it and its not working. Help please, what should I do?

    Plase help

    Not sure what you are asking here.
    Are you saying that pressing F3 no longer brings up Launchpad?
    If so check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
    Follow the instructions at the top of the box. (Double-click "Show Launchpad" and then press the F3 key on your keyboard.)
    Should start working again.
    Also, make sure that System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard "Use All F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is UNchecked.

  • 2nd Generation Ipod Nano won't turn on

    I have a 2nd generation ipod nano and it won't turn on. It worked fine around 5pm and at 11pm it wouldn't turn on. I tried to charge it but it still didn't turn on. I plugged it into itunes and it still didn't turn on. What's wrong with it and how do I fix it?

    Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    So, your iPhone (and new shuffle) still work properly with iTunes, correct? 
    Your 1st gen shuffle... It's the white one with USB plug, that looks like a USB flash drive...?
    Are you able to see it in Windows, and maybe change the drive letter back to E:?

  • 2nd Generation iPod Nano Dead?

    My 2nd generation iPod Nano was working fine this morning. Played music as it did for all these years. Later this afternoon I turned it on and the display would not light up. No music played. Seems like the battery is totally drained. Plugged into USB wall charger (from Apple) and get no indication whethr or not this thing is charging. Same when I plugged into my Mac. Does not show up in iTunes or on the desktop.
    Is my iPod Nano Dead? Has the battery bitten the dust and cannot be recharged again? It's a shame that none of these iPods have user replaceable batteries... Other than being dead I am quite sure that if I could put in a new battery it would work again. I don't like spending a lot of money for something that does not last me at least 10 years.

    If the iPod's battery has been fully drained it can at least 30 minutes or more of charging for the iPod to show any signs of life and even after that a hard reset might be required. To reset the Nano, press and hold both the Select?Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Do they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos ?

    I was just wondering whether or not they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos. i live in Canada and ive been wanting a red ipod nano for ages...and my silver one is now starting to skip. i might as well get a new one seeing as my silver one has been through alot of rough times...
    If they are still selling them, do they have the red ones in Canada? If so, where can i get one?

    They have refurbs on the online store, but not the red. You might try stores in your area that sell iPods, ebay, or if you are near an Apple Store check the Black Friday sale.

  • 2nd generation Ipod nano not syncing?

    My 2nd generation Ipod nano won't sync up with my Itunes library anymore after updating to Mountain Lion and the latest version of Itunes.  I plug it into the USB port on the laptop and the Ipod beeps and seems to be getting charged by the laptop but no sign of connectivity on Itunes.  I've also got an Ipod shuffle that I used just earlier today and it seemed to work fine with the same set up.  I'd like to switch back to using the Nano though and it seems to work fine other than Itunes not recognizing it now.  I know it's old but if it seems to work fine and i'd like to keep using it if I can sync it up.  Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2. 

    I have unfortuantly had the exact same problem following my update to iTunes 11.
    Incase someone explains the problem for me and not you, here is the link to my post. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4755057
    Best of luck getting it to work!

  • My 2nd generation iPod Nano has locked me out

    I own a 2nd generation iPod Nano. Yesterday, when I turned it on, I discovered that I was locked out of the controls, and the Hold button wasn't even activated. I think I've tried everything possible, both on this site and at home, to get the controls to unlock so I can use it again, but nothing has worked. Is my iPod officially broken, or does someone else know of a way to fix such a problem that isn't listed anywhere?

    Have you tried resetting your iPod? Make sure the hold button is turned off, then hold down the menu + center button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. You should see an apple appear on the screen.
    If that doesn't work, and your iPod is recognized by iTunes, I'd try and restore the iPod which is explained in this article:

    I hope this helped! Good luck!

  • The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.
