IPod Nano 2nd generation help

i am having a problem with my ipod nano. i went to best buy where the geek squad was and i asked them what i should do. they put some kind of fire thingy on there and said that it recognized the iPod. I then went home to try it out and it didnt do anything. i want my iPod to be recognized on my computer and so i can add my songs onto the ipod. my sister has her ipod working and it was last years model(not diff. colors). She has tried so many ways to get mine to work and it isn't. if anyone knows what i should do, please reply to this bulletin because i have been trying to get it to work ever since Christmas.

I think your problem is that your iPod is not being recognized by your computer, although it was just a little bit tricky to pick out from that.
Check these out:

iPod Not in My Computer or iTunes
Check the Device Manager
Windows Laptop Doesn't Recognize iPod Over USB
I hope this helps!

  • 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.

  • Ipod nano (2nd generation) won't play any sound

    as the title says, my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont play any sound. the songs still play just fine, but no sound or very little sound is coming out. i've tried different headphones, none of them working. and then i attempted using my speakers which worked at the highest volume of both the ipod and the speakers, but very little sound came out and it sounded fuzzy.
    after this, i reset my ipod, then restored it, and still no sound. so i reset the ipod again, making sure that everything under the setting was correct for the sound. i even tried putting the clicker on "headphones" and that didnt work either. it connects to the computer fine and has a fully charged battery.
    help please?
      Windows Vista  

    thank you for your suggestions, but everything seems to be working normally except the sound coming out of the ipod. i reset the volume limit and nothing. also, there was no volume limit in the summary tab.
    again, thank you for your help... any other suggestions/ideas?

  • IPod Nano 2nd generation software version

    Hi
    I need to grab a used iPod Nano 2nd Generation to replace the one I left on the plane   : (
    It's quite amazing how much value these units hold on eBay. My question is, what is the latest (or possibly the last) software version that Apple has released for this unit? I want to make sure that I ask the eBay seller what version of the software is installed on the one I'm looking at, as I feel that a currently updated unit will have the best chance of functioning properly. I am running Windows 7 on my home computer.
    One of the ones I'm looking at has a picture of the information screen on the unit and it says it has software version 1.1.3. That can't be anywhere close to the last/best one, can it?
    I assume that 2GB, 4GB and 8GB are the same in terms of software. I am looking for a 4GB version, or possibly an 8GB.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Nick

    That is correct.  Version 1.1.3 was the last firmware update released for the 2G Nano.

  • Should an iPod Nano 2nd Generation Work With Windows Vista?

    I understand that many people are having problems with their iPods and come here for support and solutions.
    I'm just wondering if the iPod Nano 2nd generation 4g I have that is working just fine SHOULD work with latest iTunes on Windows Vista laptop (which I haven't used yet)?

    Just to close this out I was able to connect the second generation 4g iPod Nano without issue. In a matter of minutes I had it loaded, recognized by iTunes with up-to-date software, sync with over 900 songs and almost 200 pictures and then ejected (I manually manage music)! Really sorry for those who can't get iTunes and/or iPod to work!

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

    I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
    The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
    The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
    This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
    My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
    Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
    Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.

    Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
    After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
    BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
    Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.
