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

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

    Hi,
    I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick  10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
    I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

    Hello, Jonny-CH. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

  • Display of iPod Nano 2nd Generation does not work. Only backlight - nothing else. Experiences?

    The iPod still start and also plays music, but I can't see anything on the display.
    I can see the backlight, but not more...
    I have reinstalled, recovered and restarted the iPod.
    The firmware and iTunes is at the newest version.
    Anyone got experience with this? Is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks for your help

    Sounds like you have tried all of the regular troubleshooting.  So it points to an issue with your nano's LCD display.  You'll have want to have it repaired/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

  • HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

    I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    but there is another unspecified error.
    What is that error?
    Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

  • HT1238 ipod shuffle 2nd generation does not appear in Reset Utility window.

    Hi there! I'm seeking some advice for repairing an old ipod shuffle.
    My mom's 2nd generation iPod shuffle suddenly will not appear on her computer. She is using windows vista (sad face). I ran all the reccommeded troubleshooting suggestions, but still can't repair the disk.
    When connected to the original computer (windows vista), the charging light comes on but the disk does not appear anywhere on the computer. I ran the diagnostics and it apparently has the most updated software, but there is another unspecified error.
    When I tried to run the repair suggestions on my own computer, i can't get the disk to show anywhere....the charging light will not even come on.
    Any other suggestions I might have overlooked?

  • HT1363 iPod nano 5th generation is not recognized by computer

    I've uninstalled and installed iTunes, gone through the 5Rs, attempted all the USB ports, restarted the computer, attempted putting the iPod in Disk Mode, and I'm now going to put my iPod on YouTube with a shameful sign on it to punish it until it connects to my computer and uploads my new music! Can someone help me make these two devices communicate. BTW, the cable is functional, too. Thanks.

  • HT1369 my iPod nano 4th generation is not recognized by iTunes.

    I have always used iTunes with this iPod.  I have Christmas music on it and I want some other music.  This is only used for music on the Bose. It worked before Christmas but there has been updates to iTunes since then so don't know if thats the problem.
    I have googled it and have tried everything that is mentioned but it still is not recognized.  It shows up as a drive in my computer but on the devices for iTunes it isn't there.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.
