IPod 2nd gen problems
Hi there I have a iPod 2nd gen with 2 issues 1. Battery lasts 3hours tops in use 1 day on stand by
2. No wifi that's what it says when I try turning it on
Any way of fixing any of these issues
Many thanks
For wifi:
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
For other, replace the battery.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Yu can purchase a eplacement for about $10

GOOD DAY I JUST WANNA ASK IF,, WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO DO IF MY IPOD 2ND GEN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BACKLIGHT,,, IT ALWAYS TURNS INTO DIM WHEN I USE IT ,,, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS JUST FINE,,, PLS TELL ME WHAT TO DO,, THANKS AND MORE POWER
Please don't shout.
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
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
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
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. -
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.

every app on my ipod (2nd gen) which requires wifi connection doesn't work although the wifi mark is on. i did try restarting my ipod, resetting network setting, disconnect from wifi and reconnected it but non of them worked.
This may sound silly but try your date a time setting my ipod had the same problem and i had even checked the the date and time went all the way to the apple store for help and the genius guy just rest the date and time and it worked just fine.

IPod 2nd gen not showing in iTunes
My iPod 2nd gen hadn't been used for a while, and the battery was dead. I charged it, and connected it to my Mac Mini (1st gen). It is now continuously blinking orange but is not showing up as a device in iTunes (v. 10.6.3). According to the manual, the blinking means it's syncing in iTunes, or the iPod shuffle is enabled for disk use. I don't know what the latter means.
I'm using the original dock, but it is connected to a USB port on my external hard drive which is connected to the mini, since the 1st gen Mini doesn't have enough USB ports. (That shouldn't be a problem though, because my 3rd gen iPod nano shows up in iTunes using that same port.)
I've tried twice to get it to show up in iTunes. The first time it was already connected to the USB port but wasn't showing any lights, and it didn't show up in iTunes. I turned the shuffle off, waited 5 seconds, and turned it on again. Still didn't show up, so I manually removed it from the dock and unplugged the dock. Then I plugged the dock in again, and put the ipod firmly into the dock. Then the orange blinking lights started, but it didn't show up in iTunes that time either. I did get an error message that it had not been put away properly.
Since it wasn't showing up anywhere that I could find (iTunes, Finder, Desktop) to eject it, I shut down the computer, removed the iPod from the dock, restarted the computer, opened iTunes and then put the iPod in the dock. It still doesn't show up as a device in the left-side sidebar of iTunes where it usually does, right after Library, Store, and before Playlist). I can't put it away properly now because I can't find it to eject it. It's still blinking orange. (The right sidebar only has a message about Genius and learning to use it).
I've read previous questions similar to this, but nothing suggested there has worked. If anyone has suggestions/idea, it would be greatly appreciated.
My O.S. is 10.5.8.
Thanks,
EstherThanks for providing a good amount of detail.
Enable disk use is a setting (checkbox) on the shuffle's Settings tab in iTunes. It allows you to see the iPod's "disk" on the Desktop continously while it is connected, so that you can copy files to it using Finder (like it was a USB flash drive). The light blinks as a warning to eject before disconnecting, because the iPod's disk is mounted. If that checkbox is NOT checked, iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing, so the light does not blink most of the time (and you can disconnect it without ejecting).
Although you have confirmed that the USB port on the external drive (Is it an OWC miniStack?), which is the same as a powered USB hub, works with another iPod, you may want to disconnect something from a direct USB port temporarily. Connect the shuffles docking cable there, to confirm it's not the port causing the problem.
If you connect it and run Disk Utility instead of iTunes, does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, and you use a Mac, you can try using the iPod Reset Utility

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. -

Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

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. -

I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
