I need help my i pod nano 2nd generation wont keep a charge i restored it and restarted it and it still wont work what do i do???

plz help

That's usually a good indication that the iPod's battery is shot and in need of a replacement. Apple can swap it out for you for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair company for a little less.

Mac Pro won't recognize i-pod nano (2nd generation)

when i hook my nano (2nd gen) up to my mac pro, it opens in i-tunes, but it's all grayed out. it charges, but i can't play anything off of it, and i can't drag anything from i-tunes on to it. also, i noticed my i-pod icon doesn't appear on the desktop when plugged in. i've reset this i-pod to the factory settings and it doesn't change anything. i've also held down the menu/select button for a few seconds (per other discussion threads i've read) and it doesn't solve the issue. finally, i've restarted my computer with the i-pod still attached and nothing changes.
this product may have originally been set up through a PC, but i don't see that being part of the issue.
any suggestions, guys?

I have the same problem with my 2G nano and MacBook Pro. This ipod has never been connected to a PC, so I don't think that's the issue.

IPod Nano, 2nd Generation. Does Not Charge, and Is Not Recognized

I have Posted: Aug 8, 2007 3:54 PM , but no replies. Also I see a certain user (Jeff) massively repeating posts.
Please help, my friends have got me an 2GB silver Ipod Nano, it goes through the whole routine on my friend's computers, they even put music into it for me, but when I connected it to my computer, the display says its fully charged (green plug inside battery) instead of charging (thunderbolt)!
I did everything, EVERYTHING, they asked online, from resets, reboots, getting latest vs. of iTunes, restarted over 10 times, switched from USB Normal and USB 2.0 ports repeatedly, followed both the tech support automated and live, then (as they asked) searched for a few hours to find the correct drivers, and installed everything I could for my VIA chipset, and it still doesnt work.
I remember one of (the call dropped initially) the tech support guys saying something about USB spor.inm
Still can't find it.
I need to upload my music and be able to charge my iPod on my own computer! Please help!
Windows XP Asus K8V motherboard, 2.6 GHZ AMD 64 bit, 1 GB RAM
Kindly help, someone

I have the exact same problem, and nothing works. When I plug it into computer, it's recognized, it syncs, and it plays while connected. As soon as I disconnect, it's dead. I've charge it overnight, I've let it drain overnight, I've plugged it into a charger with same result, I've used it on two different computers. HELP

I-pod nano (2nd generation), Music will not play. HELP

When I go under music and then click songs, my songs list comes up. When a click on a song the artist and title come up but the song does not play. The screen shows the time of the song but nothing plays. I am on vacation and I do not have my music saved where I am at. Is there anyway to fix this without resetting everything and losing my music. Thank you

that's kinda a had question... but here goes!
my thought is that either the files aren't encoded correctly to be played on the iPod nano, or the power from the iPod isn't reaching the earbuds.
The first thing, have you tried a different set of earbuds? it may be an issue of the headphones.
Second, if that doesn't work, when you get back, check your computer to make sure the songs you want are one of the following: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps), Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) and AIFF files.
This could be the problem. Check the Info menu of different songs in iTunes to find out the coding of the song.
If all fails, take the iPod to an Apple Store, there may be an underlying problem with the nano.
good luck!

Can you get games on the iPod Nano 2nd generation?

This is probably a simple question, but can you get games on an iPod Nano 2nd Generation?

No, unless you previously bought iPod click wheel games and still have copies of them. Apple no longer sells those.

Now Im having problems with mine. Everytime I try to charge and usually the screen will pop up to my original music player. This is what it says now when I open or charge my IPOD.
"The File iTunes Library.it! cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
Now, that I listen to it...all the music skip. Please help me..what should I do??
Thank you

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.

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

My iPod nano 2nd edition has died on me. I can press on menu and centre of the wheel and the apple logo comes on for seconds, then I get a glimpse of the menu list then the screen goes dead. What can I do? Can anyone help please?

MY iPod Nano 2nd generation iPod has died on me. I've charged it both by connecting to my laptop and also separately. I press the centre wheel and menu and the apple logo appears for a few seconds, then I get a glimpse of the menu then it disappears again. I have tried everything even leaving it plugged into the power for about four hours but it made no difference. What can I do?

Probably not a good sign especially given the age of the device. Are you able to get it into Disk Mode long enough so that you can restore it in iTunes?
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
Otherwise, it might be time to have the iPod serviced or replaced.

If the 5 R's of troubleshooting failed to resolve the issue, then it's likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced or replaced.
