Please if anyone could reply to the possible ways of fixing this error I will be grateful.
I have tried to provide as much information as I can .
-Yes , my iTunes is updated to the latest version.
-My iPod is a Silver Ipod Nano Second generation 4GB's
-It is fresh from the box
-My computer is a Windows XP Pro.
Thanks for your time.

For this, first try going through the dll fix outlines in article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
If that doesn't work, try doing a selective startup through MSCONFIG (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538), and then updating the iPod.

Hello joejoehoppy,
Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

IPod Nano Second Generation Freezes Every Morning

I bought an 8G iPod Nano second generation about a month ago. I love it! I use it with Windows XP. Every morning when I turn it on for the first time, it freezes up when I play a Podcast or Audio book. It also does it with songs but not as much. I push the reset buttons for 5 seconds until the Apple symbol comes up, it resets and then it works fine for the rest of the day.
It seems like it gets messed up after I connect it the iTunes library on my computer. Does any one else experience this problem?

I'm not sure you were experiencing the same problem:
1. Sync iPod.
2. Let iPod fall asleep for some period of time (a few minutes doesn't cause the problem; beyond 15-20 minutes does).
3. Awaken iPod and play a podcast -> iPod freezes.
I and many others have experienced this same problem. Yet, I don't have any life updating smart playlists referring either to podcasts or to playlists not on the iPod.
Sometimes, playing a song track before playing a podcast will work. If the song plays, subsequent podcasts will, too. However, the song track often freezes, too.
Also, if you reset the iPod at any point between synching and playing the podcast, the problem is averted.
Apple has yet to acknowledge this bug despite the multiple threads. I presume that the scenario required to reproduce it is still rare (synching podcasts yet waiting for some time before playing the first one).

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

IPod Nano Second Generation and Factory BMW iPod Adapter

I am considering either an iPod Nano Second Generation or an iPod Mini to put in my 2008 BMW, since I have the BMW iPod adapter.
I have noticed that the iPod Minis are a lot cheaper than the second generation Nanos.
Is the Second Generation Nano a good fit for the BMW or should I go with a Mini? Thanks!

I take it you are looking to buy a used iPod, since neither of these models is currently available as a new item.
I'd go with the Nano as it does not have a physical hard drive like the Mini has.

Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,
GB

Ipod nano second generation videos

Does Ipod Nano second generation play videos??!!

No. That model of iPod will not play any video content or games purchased from the iTunes Store.

TS3716 My iPod nano second generation is mostly not appearing in iTunes. Windows sees it, and it is visible for moments in iTunes from time to time, but I have been unable to sync it for a long time. Anyone know what the fix is?

Does anyone know how to fix an iPod Nano second gen that is only occasionally appearing in iTunes? The OS is Windows XP. Thanks.

Ipod touch 2nd generation getting unknown error -1 message while trying to update to 4.2 disabled the security still get message any suggestions?

While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

Since Apple says:
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

Hello,
I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?

Enabling "sound check" in ipod nano second generation

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to enable the "sound check" for my second generation ipod nano. I want to adjust all my songs to play at the same sound level, and I think that's the first step. I've followed all the directions I can find.
I find the right screen and select "enable sound check" but the minute I close that screen, the check-mark in the "enable sound check" box goes away. What's the trick for getting it to stay?

Hi,
I would suggest going to "Preferences" in iTunes first and then going to the "Playback" tab.
Make sure the checkbox with Sound Check is checked. I had read that you must have it checked in the iTunes program so it will then work in the actual iPod when you sync it.
I have a brand new 80 GB Classic and a 2 Gen. 2 GB Nano and I had checked this sound check option on each of the ipods in "Settings" but it never seemed to make any difference.
I was reading the online manual for my new Classic and found that the Sound Check needed to be checked in iTunes for it to work in the iPod.
I did this and iTunes instantly went thru each of my songs in my library and adjusted the volume.
It has worked for me on my Classic but I cannot say if it has on my Nano since I use it for only Podcasts and do not have any music loaded on it. Plus I use a different computer for each of my ipods and have iTunes installed on each.
Hope this may be of help. Check the iTunes software first.

Ipod Nano 7th Generation - Not Charging / Error Msg From Comp 'Attached Device Malfunctioned'

My IPod Nano 7th gen arrived last night. I was able to turn it on and select language 'english' When I connected it to my computer it did not recognize my iPod, so it also did not show up in iTunes, Error message: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned. and Windows does not recognize it."
My Nano turned off and went blank. I have tried to reset it. Nothing works, just blank.
No charge icon, I have tried all USB ports on my comp, but nothing works- (but my USB ports work fine) I have read that if my iPod has not been charged fully, the computer my not recognize it.
I am now using an adapter and trying to charge it thru the wall power socket. It has been connected for half an hour. Still cannot turn iPod on.
I have Windows 7 running on comp. Itunes is current version 10.7. I have rebooted my comp several times and re-installed iTunes.
I have an iPhone and an iPod shuffle that are both synced with iTunes on this comp, they work fine.
Is my iPod broken? Do I send it back? Anyone else having the same problems? Please Help !!

I had this problem as well. I have a PC running Windows 7. I have installed the latest iTunes 10.7 software (64 bit). I reset the nano by holding down the start and home button for 10 seconds. Then - I plugged it into a PC running Windows XP and was able to format the iPod. Ejected it and plugged it into my Windows 7 computer and then the computer recognized it and I was able to load it. There is some problem with iTunes 7 on Windows 7.
