  • 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

  • The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

    The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

    That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

  • 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?

  • 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) 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.
    Dell PC   Windows XP  
    Dell PC   Windows XP  

    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.

  • I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
    The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
    I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

    You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Ipod nano 4th generation battery is not charging in new Jaguar car

    I've just got a 2010 Jaguar XKR car which comes with special cable for ipod. When I connect my 4th generation ipod nano, I get the message that the charging is not possible with this connection. However, when I connect my old ipod nano 2nd generation, it charges just fine. I presume the problem is with the cable. I'm thinking of getting another ipod (maybe ipod "touch") and wondering if anyone has any idea whether or not there are any similar issues with other ipods. Any input will be appreciated.

    The cable in your new car should be replaced (by the installer) with the correct cable.
    The message pops up on newer iPods when you attempt to charge using FireWire.
    Newer iPod will not charge with FW but older ones will.
    The 2nd gen nano will charge with FW but the 4th gen nano will not.
    Apple notified manufacturers over three years ago that they would quit using FW to charge.

    I apologize if I write bad but I'm Italian

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • 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!

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?
    [x|http://www.parikesit.com]

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.

    Ok so sorry for clogging the community!! I figured it out - you have to copy your videos into itunes manually. I did that, synched and all good!
