IPod sync with 2nd generation iPod?

Hey gang-
Is the iPod sync supported in iTunes 7 dependent on the most current iPods, or will it work with older iPods, like my 2nd generation iPod? I'd like to use the new iPod sync to sync my authorized MacBook and iMac.
Dave

Or am I misunderstanding your question?
Perhaps. I'm referring to the new feature in iTunes 7 that allows an iPod to "push" purchased music to all your Authorized computers, thus ensuring that you always have your full Authorized music collection on all your Macs. In other words, as you sync your iPod with each of your computers, it sends the latest purchased music to each.
Here is an article describing what I'm talking about:

So I was wondering if that works only with the newest iPods, or also with earlier ones.

  • Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

    Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
    If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
    Many Thanks

    - These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    - However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    I know of no list/seach method to find those apps

  • Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

  • If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

    I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

    Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

  • Messaging app that works with 2nd generation ipod touch

    I recently downloaded imessenger to my 2nd generation ipod touch but it was hours later and with the help of this forum, that I discovered it is not possible to use with my iOS.  Does anyone know of a texting app that I can use?

  • Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

    My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
    Thanks,
    dukegirl90

    I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
    Will this happen with the iHome?

  • TS1410 Help with 2nd generation iPod.

    Hi
    Have just purchased my first imac. I have a 2nd generation ipod that now is not recognized in itunes. It still works with my old pc, which is at the end of its life. I am not very good with technical details so if anyone out there can help please could they tell me in idiot terms! My daughter just thinks that the ipod is too old (a little like me)!!!
    Many thanks

    The Nano should still work with your new Mac.  What happens when you plug it in? what shows up on the iPod's display in iTunes?
    WIth the iPod still connected to the Mac, try and reset it.

  • Newer generations compatible with 2nd generation iPod shuffle?

    I Have a iPod shuffle 2nd generation. Are the chargers for the newer generations compatible (3rd, 4th or 5th)?

    I returned the shuffle and got a new one. This one
    has "light" issues. Sometimes it blinks orange,
    sometimes green, sometimes the green light is on,
    sometimes the orange light is on and then no light at
    all. Also, it has recognition issues but not as
    often.
    Please order those issues with some more detail so that we can help you.
    I love the shuffle as it is the perfect size for the
    gym however, I should have waited to purchase one so
    the "bugs" would be worked out.

  • New iPod Chargers with older generation iPods

    Hi,
    I have an older generation iPod (20GB, no click wheel) and recently lost my charger (one that had a firewire port on the charger itself).
    I went bought a new USB iPod charger and when I connect a USB cable with docking port to the charger and iPod (respectively), my iPod does not charge.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks!

    If you have a 3rd gen iPod (the one with 4 buttons underneath the screen), then it does not charge via USB only firewire.
    You need to get the charger exchanged.

  • ITunes 8.1 breaks syncing with 2nd gen iPod shuffle

    So, I downloaded iTunes 8.1 as soon as it came out as all the new features seemed pretty benign, and I've never had issues with any iTunes update going all the way back to 1.0. However, the 8.1 update rendered my 2nd gen shuffle no better than a $5 MP3 player.
    Keeping in mind I use my shuffle primarily for listening to podcasts, here's the issues:
    +1) dragging files to the iPod that already exist on the device+
    8.0: pops a dialog warning that some of the items are already on the device and gives you the option to skip those ones and copy the rest. I use this all the time as I just do a select all and drag everything in my Podcasts list to the iPod to get new stuff onto it
    8.1: it gladly copies the duplicates onto the iPod again
    +2) order of podcasts when added to the iPod+
    8.0: podcasts get put at the end but when you disconnect, they get moved to the beginning of the play order on the shuffle and are arranged in the same order as the sort set on your Podcasts list (in my case, ascending Date Released). This was great as all the podcasts would end up right at the beginning of the shuffle in the order I wanted
    8.1: podcasts get put at the end and stay there, in whatever order they were in from the location I dragged them from (i.e. the literal order they appear in the Podcasts list. So while in 8.0 they'd be arranged in date order regardless of whether different podcast subscriptions were mixed together, in 8.1 they were placed into alphabetical podcast order, subsorted by date)
    +3) automatic removal of deleted podcasts+
    8.0: a podcast deleted from the Podcasts list that's also on the shuffle will immediately cause a sync event and remove it from the shuffle
    8.1: no sync event, deleted podcast stays on the shuffle until manually removed
    +4) ability to play songs from the shuffle in iTunes when the shuffle is connected+
    8.0: double-clicking a song that's on the shuffle by selecting the device and then its Music tab, plays it (and also causes immediate and constant syncing, which is weird, but also expected)
    8.1: double-clicking a song has no effect. Selecting a song and clicking iTunes' play button does nothing
    The problems are occurring on my Mac Pro. I initially upgraded to iTunes 8.1 via Software Update, but tried reinstalling via the standalone installer. No luck. I also tried restoring the iPod to factory settings twice with no luck.
    I also did some tests on my MacBook Pro which still had iTunes 8.0 on it. The same "correct" behaviour was encountered on the MBP. As soon as I upgraded to 8.1 via the downloaded installer, the same "incorrect/broken" behaviour was encountered as on the Mac Pro. I restored the iPod in iTunes 8.0 and 8.1 and that still didn't fix the behaviour when using it under 8.1. Additionally, on the MacBook Pro I removed the iTunes library and started with a fresh one just in case there was something funky with it.
    Anyone else having these problems? I know at least one person whose 2nd gen shuffle works with 8.1 as it always had, so I'm not sure what's up with my shuffle.

    I'm having most/all of the problems mentioned here. As far as manually ordering tracks, that doesn't work either. As near as I've been able to determine, tracks are played in the order they were put on the Shuffle, no matter how you order them in the list. The only way I've been able to get them in the order I want them is to put them all into a separate play list, set the desired order, delete everything off of the Shuffle, then copy the whole play list onto the Shuffle. By the way, deleting tracks off of the Shuffle doesn't seem to generate a Sync event by itself. While the list window shows the total size of the items in the list at the bottom (and it decreases when items are deleted), clicking on the Settings tab shows a bar at the bottom showing the same amount of space being used before the deletion. You have to move something else to the Shuffle to make it Sync.
    Also, the one problem I've experienced with 8.1 that I haven't seen anyone else mention is connecting the Shuffle and having it show files that hadn't played as having been played and other files that had played not showing as such. For example, say the last thing I did before disconnecting was to put 20 new files on the Shuffle at the top of its list. It will play them last because they were the last items added. But when I reconnect after playing 20 or more tracks, the list shows the top tracks as having been played including those 20 tracks that I hadn't gotten to.

  • Music won't sync on 2nd Generation Ipod Touch

    My husband recently accidently reset his Ipod touch and lost all of his music. When attempting to sync the Ipod with his library, only his photos were transferred to the Ipod. I checked the settings on Itunes and on the Ipod and I don't see anything amiss. Any suggestions?

    Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account of that of the music on the computer? To sign in on the iPod go to Settings>Store and sign in.

  • LOTS OF "WEIRDITIES" WITH 2ND GENERATION IPOD SHUFFLE

    It seems that I am not the only one with "blinking and light" issues. I returned my first 2nd Gen shuffle after speaking to an Apple Tech (who had NO CLUE, ADMITTED TO NEVER SEEING THE 2ND GEN). I was experiencing a recognition issue - my Mac would not recognize the shuffle. Itunes would open and it was as if there was no shuffle plugged in. It also made my Mac CRASH like a pc! A window would pop up that stated I needed to restart my computer by holding the "on" button for a few seconds. Yes, I have the most recent version of itunes and I made sure that it was plugged into a port in the computer not the keyboard.
    I returned the shuffle and got a new one. This one has "light" issues. Sometimes it blinks orange, sometimes green, sometimes the green light is on, sometimes the orange light is on and then no light at all. Also, it has recognition issues but not as often.
    I love the shuffle as it is the perfect size for the gym however, I should have waited to purchase one so the "bugs" would be worked out.
