Link to the 2nd Gen Nano Update?

Hello. I'm a new user to these forums, and a proud owner of the new 2nd Gen 2 GB iPod Nano since the day it shipped. Well, come time to update my new iPod, iTunes tells me it cannot connect to the internet. It doesn't even look. I click "Update" and instantly, it say iTunes cannot connect to the internet. But I am connected, or else I couldn't be posting this right now. :P My question is this: Is there a place on Apple's website that I can manually download the iPod Nano upgrade, instead of doing it in iTunes? And if so, where? I'm running Windows XP, if you need to know. Thank you.

I think that even if you do it from the website it will open up your itunes. You can try that and see if it works though.

  • How do I suggest an accessory for the 2nd gen nano?

    I'm trying to make a suggestion to Apple to make a belt clip for the 2nd gen nano like the older 40gb iPods had. How do I make one, because I can't find any sort of suggestion box(for lack of better term)

    You may be able to use the apple iPod feedback form
    to make that type of suggestion. You might also want
    to check other sites that make iPod accessories to
    see if they have one that you may like.

  • I need help from all of the 2nd gen nano customers!!! Buzzing Sound!!

    Hi! I am about to purchase a 2nd generation 8GB iPod nano next week or so. Is the whining problem still the issue in the 2nd gen nanos? Please tell me because otherwise, I might want to delay the order cause I wouldn't want a buzzing/whining iPod.

    Some units have it, some don't. I have 3 in my household and none of them buzz (unless you cound the very fain sound you hear only if you press it up against your ear....and you wouldn't do that under normal circumstances). If you are going to a physical store to purchase one, turn it on in the store before you leave so you can find out right then if there is a noticable buzz.

  • Does the 2nd gen nano skip with VBR mp3s?

    Hi,
    I have a 1st gen nano that skips with vbr mp3 podcasts. I would love to get a second gen for more space, but if it skips like the first gen, I will pass.
    Can anybody confirm whether or not the problem with VBR mp3s on the 2nd gen nano skips or not?
    thanks

    At first I thought there was something wrong with my iPod, but I'm glad to hear this is a common software fault.
    I just re-coded my MP3 collection to VBR and find that about 10-20% of my files skipps on my iPod nano (2nd gen). I might up the quality of the VBR and seee if that makes any difference.

  • Hard/soft case for the 2nd gen nano?

    I'd really like to buy an 8GB 2nd generation Nano, but am having to delay as i can't find a single case for it (ideally one with a belt clip). I don't want to order a case designed for a 1st gen Nano as i'm not sure it would fit due to the slight size difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen Nanos.
    Are there any cases currently available that are designed to fit 2nd gen Nanos? If not, does anyone know when some might become available?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    In the coming weeks, more and more cases will be released for the 2G iPod nano. You can always go to the online Apple Store too and see what they have available at the moment (tell the store to show you cases compatible with 2G nanos).

  • So does the 2nd gen nano work with the nike plus  or what ?

    do i upgrade the firmware christman morning, or leave it alone ? i bought it in november. will it freeze, or this a solid duo ?

    I bought today , Ipod nano which was version 1.1.1 at CompUSA.
    I have failed to update to version 1.2 using Itunes 7. everything was not good. I requested it for refund at CompUSA. and I am happy.
    I hate that I spent the time for this problem ( It might be a serious bug.)

  • WILL THE 1st GEN DOCK WORK WITH 2nd GEN NANO?

    as the title states.... i think it will, but if anyone knows or has a logical idea, let me know. thanks.

    The 2nd Gen Nano does only work with Apples universal dock.
    For this product, you will find an adapter.
    If you (like me) have purchased a Nano (1st Gen) dock - aka the small dock without audio/video/ir - then the 2nd Gen Nano does NOT fit in. The connector is slightly shifted and due to the round edges, you cannot insert it.
    kind regards

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by MBA / Lion 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3

    I have this 2nd gen nano (and a bunch of other ones) set to manage music manually. This particular device has worked fine while connected to MBP mid 2010 running SL and most recent iTunes.
    But, this 2nd gen nano does not show up on the MacBook Air, mid-2011, running Lion 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3.
    I have reset the nano. It plays fine, responds to setting changes properly and it does charge while plugged into either USB port of the MBA.  The computer is plugged into wall juice, and the other USB port is not in use while I try to get the nano recognized. 
    Disk utility does not see it either.
    This MBA is not the computer I usually sync this 2nd gen nano to since that machine (the MBP mid 2010) is out for repair.
    i expected iTunes on this MBA  to just mount the thing (since the iPod has the manual preference set, and is a Mac-formatted nano) and that it would then let me delete a few picks and drag a few newer tunes onto it.   
    The MBA, the nano and my out-for-repair MBP all have the same Apple ID associated with purchased music on the devices.
    I rarely reload this nano and haven't actually changed its music since I put the MBP to Lion, so I am not sure if it's Lion, iTunes or the MBA that is the issue with this 2nd gen nano.
    After the 2nd nano would not mount, I tried two other iPods, one is a 3rd gen nano and the other is a Classic.   Both of them connected fine and let me drag stuff onto them.
    So it seems that either Lion 10.7.4 or iTunes 10.6.3 does not feel like recognizing the 2nd gen nano.  Hope this can be fixed.  That model nano is practically indestructible and there are still lots of them out there!

    Update on the above:
    I did some more research on this using assorted of my 2nd gen nanos and a couple 1st gen ones as well. 
    It's only the 2GB 2nd gen nanos  MA477LL part number, that do not work with Lion / 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3.
    2nd gen MA477LL  does not work, it's a 2GB model. I have two of these.  Neither works.
    2nd gen MA428LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    2nd gen MA426LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    1st gen MA352LL  works - it's a 1st gen nano refurb (1GB)
    1st gen MA350LL  (1GB) - this is another 1st gen nano refurb, but one that's formatted for Windows (and had nothing on it when I connected it).  For some reason it mounted fine in Mac iTunes environment and even let me drag an AAC track onto it.  I was dumbfounded.   On the desktop, its sys info showed info like any FAT32 flashdrive but it did have an iPod nano icon on it.   I ejected it from iTunes and plugged in a pair of earbuds and hit play on the track. It plays fine.   Go figure!  I rechecked the settings in the device.  It does say Windows for the format. I feel like I'm in the Bermuda triangle.  I might have to reformat it next time a Windows iTunes setup sees that nano though.
    So bottom line here with the second gen nanos:    it's the 2GB model, the 2nd gen nanos with model MA477LL that do not work in Lion and iTunes 10.6.3 for whatever reason.   Both of my devices with that model number do work fine on an older MBA running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.

  • In-Ear Lanyard will fit 2nd Gen Nano?

    I just bought the In-Ear version of the lanyard for the 1st Gen Nano that I had. I would like to use it on the 2nd Gen Nano that I just ordered. Is it going to work or do I need to replace it?

    No, the 1st gen Nano lanyard will not fit the 2nd gen Nano (aluminum).
    The spacing between the dock connecter and the phono plug are different.

  • Thinkpad&2nd gen nano

    I had no problems at first, but now, no matter what i do i can't get itunes to connect to the 2nd gen nano. Here are the error messages:
    Connected Storage Devices:
    SetupDiGetClassDevs failed, 13. Problem with installation of drive in Windows.
    iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I have done all 5R's and also changed the name of the device..taken the thinkpad off the dock, tried different usb ports blah blah blah. Currently running 7.0.2 itunes.
    Any suggestions (other than buying a mac)before I give up and return the nano?

    See this.

    thanks for the reply but my device manager comes up blank (yes the ipod is plugged in plus a card reader....)so can't move forward.....

  • 2nd gen nano compatible with OS X 10.2.8 and iTunes 6?

    I'm still using as my music hub an ancient but reliable iMac G3 running OS X 10.2.8, and the latest iTunes version supported on it is 6.0.5, and was wondering if the 2nd gen nano is still compatible with that? Has anyone been able to try?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    This is Apple's way of saying upgrade
    The iPod may work, but I doubt it. Some iPods have worked with previous iTunes versions, but there were syncing problems (sometimes).
    iTunes 7 changes a lot of things, so I don't know if the new iPod nano firmware will "understand" how to communicate with iTunes 6 or if it was taught not to.
    Just my observations--but not really an answer. I would say no, but we can't be sure until someone tries!

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

  • Will apple release an update for the 7th gen nano to have cover flow?

  • TS1382 My 2nd Gen nano sometimes clips the last 30+/- secs. of some music.

    My 2nd Gen nano sometimes clips the last 30+/- seconds of a song and then starts the next one.

    Does this happen with every track or only certain tracks in particular?  I assume these same tracks play okay in iTunes?  What format are they in?
