My 2nd gen is not appearing in iTunes

hi

1. Try another USB cord or USB cable.
2. Restrart your computer for a try.
3. Reset or restore your iPod for a try, this way can fix many general iPod problems.
4. Update your iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod, 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.
5. 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.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Take your iPod to Apple store, the technical support may help you fix the problem.

  • My 2nd generation shuffle not appearing in itunes.  What can I do?

    my 2nd generation shuffle not appearing in itunes.  What can I do?

    If you have not done so already, first try using a different USB port that is directly on the computer (not a hub). 
    If that does not help, I would shut down (completely power off) your computer.  Disconnect the shuffle and do this reset procedure

    Start up your computer.  Run iTunes.  Try connecting the shuffle again.

  • 6th gen Nano not appearing in iTunes with OS X 10.7.2

    6th gen Nano not appearing in iTunes with OS X 10.7.2
    device DOES show up on desktop

    And a couple more suggestions.
    The Generic PCL Laser Printer included with Lion will only print in black and white. So open Print & Scan, select the Konica printer, click on Options & Supplies and then select the Driver tab. Ensure this does not show Generic PCL Laser.
    And, there is also a Generic Postscript printer driver included with Lion that does print in colour. So to rule out an issue with the KM driver, create another queue to the printer but this time select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu and see if this prints in colour.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. Not Syncing With Itunes or Windows.

    I have an Ipod Touch - 2nd Generation 16GB iPod. It has IOS 4.2.1 installed on it.
    My Ipod Touch is still functioning but will not let me connect it with my computer so the ipod is not shown or iTunes or Windows. It was last working on the 19th of January using Itunes 10. I then updated to iTunes 11 and have only attempted to reconnect my ipod today (29/01/13) to no avail.
    I have attempted to connect my ipod touch with 3 different cables, none of which have worked despite all of these working when I attempted to charge the iPod using an external charger. The Ipod has worked as normally, allowing me to utilize all the available features. I have attempted to resolve this problem myself and have attempted the use of differ cables, as described above. I have also tried to restore the Ipod and have turned the device on and off, numerous times. Furthermore, I have also turned off the Apple Mobile Device and have turned it back on but it has not rectified the problem.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

    I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • 2nd gen shuffle not recognized by iTunes or reset utility. Strange blinking

    Shuffle was working fine. My cat chewed the wire on the dock in half. So I ran the battery down and ordered another dock (well, not actually a doc, but a retractable aftermarket USB connector). Finally got the connector. Before using, I tried to turn on ipod. No light whatsoever, not even red. Plugged it in. Would blink red a couple times, then green a couple times, and then the blinking would stop. iTunes didn't recognize it. Neither did the reset utility. So friggin annoying. What should I do now.

    Put it on the dock connector, connect it to your computer, and charge it for at least 30 minutes then see if your computer can see it.
