Looking for a procedure to switch an iPod 2nd generation from Win. to Mac

Hello,
I'm looking for a procedure to switch/migrate an iPod 2nd generation from a Windows computer to a Mac running Snow Leopard.
When the iPod was first connected to the Mac its content was imported fine. However, ever since when the iPod is connected to the Mac it will appear in the Finder as a "drive" but doesn't appear anymore in iTunes.
I couldn't find any document in Apple's support web site about how to properly handle that type of migration.
I would appreciate if somebody could point me to a documented procedure on how to resolve this, or provide any other type of suggestion.
Thank you.

I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop. It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle. I had it on charge all night but still dead.

Looking for a way to switch views using Javascript

Hi ! I'm currently studying Acrobat 3D. I've got a PDF document with a 3D Annotation, which was imported from a U3D file. I defined 3 views : "initial", "front" and "top". My problem is that I'm looking for a way to switch views using Javascript. In fact, when I list cameras using the following code, I only get one camera called "DefaultView". So my question is : where has my "initial", "front" and "top" views been ? Is there a way I can switch between them using Javascript ? for(i=1;i<scene.cameras.count;++i) { Cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex(i); console.println("camera " + i + " : " + Cam.name); } Thank you very much in advance. françois

Are the dates on these entries correct??!! Doesn't seem like it. Anyway, just in case, here's some code to help:
//=========================================================
backgrounder = new RenderEventHandler();
backgrounder.onEvent = function(event)
runtime.removeEventHandler(this);
canvas = event.canvas;
background = canvas.background;
keyer = new KeyEventHandler();
keyer.onEvent = function(event)
switch (event.characterCode)
case 49:
cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex( 0 );
canvas.setCamera( cam );
break;
case 50:
cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex( 2 );
canvas.setCamera( cam );
break;
case 51:
cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex( 3 );
canvas.setCamera( cam );
break;
runtime.addEventHandler( keyer );
runtime.addEventHandler(backgrounder);
//inform user
console.println("Use the 1,2,3 Keys to toggle between cameras");

Looking for an Ethernet selector switch

I am looking for an Ethernet selector switch.
Not an Ethernet hub or classic Ethernet switch.
Here is the scenario:
I have to concurrently test several devices though a Telnet interface, that all have the same hardcoded IP address.
So I can not just plug them all into an Ethernet hub.
Using more than one network interface will not work because the destination IP is the same so I can not setup static routing...
Looking for ideas and suggestions, and of course it has to lend it's self to being controled through LabVIEW.

Not the cheapest solution but a managed switch would allow you to accomplish this. You would control the switch programmatically and turn ports on or off as desired. It would require you to do some programming to interface with the switch. Some support SNMP and other would have to simulate a command line interface.

I had a iphone and downloaded a (paid for) app and now looking for it to put on my ipod..cant find it now to replace the app it is showingit costs $14.99.

Usually if you press buy it then it will pop up a screen saying you have already purchased this item, would you like to download it again. You can also click on the purchased tab in the app store on your iPod provided you are using the same apple id that you use on your phone.

GOOD DAY I JUST WANNA ASK IF,, WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO DO IF MY IPOD 2ND GEN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BACKLIGHT,,, IT ALWAYS TURNS INTO DIM WHEN I USE IT ,,, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS JUST FINE,,, PLS TELL ME WHAT TO DO,, THANKS AND MORE POWER

Please don't shout.
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match similar to searching for a movie in Netflix.

I'm not sure I understand. You access iTunes Match via the music section, there are different categories and you select artist to search through the artists in your music library.

Can't see the list of songs on my iPOD 2nd generation

i have installed the ipod, and i am able to transfer my songs into my ipod 2nd generation, however i am not able to see the list of songs that i have put into the actual ipod shuffle. Can someone please help me !
thanks

no, there is contents. i just figured it out.
to recap: i had 2 problems: one was that i couldn't see the contents of the shuffle. the other was that i couldn't eject my shuffle. when i tried to eject, i kept getting the message that i couldn't eject because an application was using the files on the ipod. when i clicked the icon of my shuffle i got the picture of the ipods with the heading "ipod + itunes," as i recall. there were no settings or content tabs.
now i realize there were no tabs because i had not finished the registration of the shuffle on my pc. i had registered the shuffle on the website without using itunes. i didn't realize that there was more i needed to do in itunes because i couldn't see all of the buttons in my window. when i followed through with the registration in itunes all the way to the end, the 2 tabs were revealed and the songs that i had already loaded on the shuffle were listed in "contents." and, i was able to eject the shuffle. apparently itunes (or whatever) was still looking for a completed registration and wouldn't release the shuffle. sigh.
if you can not see the settings and contents tabs in itunes when you click your shuffle in devices or you can not eject the shuffle, look at the window with the picture of the ipods in itunes. there is more below. complete the registration (i had already done so on the web earlier, but my itunes was not complete.).
thanks to everyone for your help.

I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- See:

- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

I have an ipod 2nd generation and it only works when i plug it in

okay so i habe this ipod 2nd generation i actually have two and they are both doing the same thing at first i plug them in and the only thing that comes up is the do not disconeect screen but after a while oh fiddling with it i got the screen to go away and i can se my music and videos and i can see that my battery is full now the moment i unplugg either ipod they automatically freeze, the backlight goes out then the screen eventually fades completely away. now while this is happening none of the bottons works and the ipods are not able to be turned on or play at all almost as if there dead. but they are not becuase as soon as i plug them back in everything shows up perfect the battery is fully charged the backlight is on and the butttons work. help please

Sounds like your battery is not taking a charge, I know it shows full with you plug it in. Try plugging it into a wall socket for a few hours and see if the iPod will work on battery power.

I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.
