Ipod 2nd gen help (songs)

so i finally found my ipod 2nd gen and i restored it on a different computer than my original library. is there a way to download my songs through my account? (btw i bought them through my iphone 3gs)

I've been trying to fix a 1st Gen 1GB Nano for the past two days for a coworker and I have to say that with all the digging I have done (around 10 hours at this point) I have yet to find a solution to this matter.
It's become clear that something is happening with the new updates that seem to be killing off a increasing number of iPod's yet you'll find no fix here.
You will however hear many, many, many times over to do the 5R's. And you can do that many, many, many times and you will return to the same problem every time.
It's not just a problem with iTunes/iPod on XP as I can confirm I have had this problem on OS X as well.
Apple needs to get their act together and start offering some answers to customers questions. I shouldn't have to pay or take a trip to a not so local store just to get product I purchased from the company to work.
I find myself nervous each and every time my Mac tells me it has updates because I just have to ask myself what this update is going to break.
Will my iPod play after this update? Will iTunes work after this update. Oh look, my iSight doesn't work anymore after the OS X update (I finally fixed that), and now I see that some Intel iMacs are having wireless issues as well.
I'm growing more and more frustrated each time I see another person having a problem but only see the same answers (that don't work) offered. If it wasn't for end user support there would be no support at all.

  • IPod 2nd gen HELP!!

    I plug my iPod into the computer and all I get is a black and white screen with a sick looking iPod and the web address for apple support. I went on the support site but nothing was helpful. Was wondering if anyone has had the same problems and managed to fix them, really hoping not to have to fork out for a new iPod. Help! Please!

  • HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

    When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

    The computer freezes?  There may be something wrong with the USB port.  If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port?  If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer?  Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
    You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub.  Something like this one

    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply.  You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer.  This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected.  Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

  • I have an ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to..now when i plug it in to my current computer itunes wants to delete all my songs!!!!!

    I have a ipod 2nd gen that was synced to a computer that i no longer have access to...now when i plug it in to my new computer it shows the ipod but wants to erase all my music on the ipod in order to use itunes!!!

    I think that's the way it's supposed to work. When you connect to a computer that has iTunes, but is different from the computer you are normally synced to, you are asked if you want to sync to the current computer. If you say yes, it will replace the content of your iPod with what is designated to sync in the iTunes. If you say no, it will leave your content alone, but you won't be able to load any new songs, but you can still use it in disk mode as a storage device.
    The exception is that you can transfer your iTunes store purchases to the new computer from the iPod, but I haven't done that myself. I'm not sure, but I don't think you can transfer non-store tracks, like those you burn from your own CDs. You have to copy those manually and then sync them onto the iPod.
    Anyway, that's how it works with a 6th gen and the latest iTunes. Not sure if there is a limitation with 2nd gen.

  • IPod (2nd Gen) syncing with iTunes 11

    On iTunes 11, the songs on my iPod (2nd Gen) playlist are greyed out and I would like to be able to add and remove them. I have read through the discussions and they all point to changing things under the summary button, of which I don't seem to have one.  When I click on my device on the sidebar, the only tab underneath it is Genius.  The only tabs on top are Settings and On This iPod (of which all the songs are greyed out) and Autofill is on. There is no option under Settings to turn Autofill off. I've read how I need to change my settings from Autofill to Manual but can't seem to locate a 'Summary' button anywhere to do so.  Please help!

    I am having this same problem. Did you ever resolve the issue and how? I feel really goofy not being able to figure this thing out. Crazy.

  • IPod (2nd gen) playback mode problem with iTunes 8.1

    I have just 'upgraded' to iTunes 8.1 from 7 and now my iPod Shuffle 2nd gen plays songs ONLY in a random order if I fill it using the 'Autofill' button (selecting random songs), REGARDLESS of the play mode switch position on the iPod itself. Have tried resetting it to factory settings but to no avail! If I fill it using the Autofill button but let it choose the songs in order (not random), it does play sequentially but some songs don't get played.
    I used to be able to fill it randomly with Autofill and then sort the songs it had selected by clicking the Artist or Album etc column heading in the iPod window and this would be used as the order when playing back in sequential mode. This feature is now broken too! My shuffle has had very little use (perhaps 20 charges) and it is in fab condition.
    Any ideas?

    Hey there, I'm having the exact same problem! Very annoying - have you found a solution by any chance?
    I've restored my ipod and reset everything I can but since I updated the software continuous mode is kaput......Cheers
