My ipod nano (2nd generation) will cont connect with windows or itunes, windows says it has had reported errors??? any help? havnt used ipod in over a week and now it wont work with my computer

my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont connect with windows or itunes, i used it last week (charged it through USB) then this week when i connect it (once again through USB) it wont work, it says "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" any help? ive made sure my itunes is up to date, done a reboot on my computer and ipod and still nothing..help please

This could either be a conflict with the iPod's docking port, the iPod's USB sync cable, or even the USB port you are plugging the iPod into on your PC. So the first thing I would try and do is plug the iPod into a different USB port on your PC. Make sure it's a high powered USB 2.0 port as they provide a higher power throughput than older USB ports or even the ones that are sometimes available on the front of the tower.
It might help to disconnected all other USB devices from the PC (minus the keyboard and mouse) and reboot the PC. Then reconnect the iPod once again.
If still no luck, swap out the cable with another known working cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged or faulty cable.
Lastly, plug the iPod into another PC to see if it's recognized there. If the same error appears on another machine, it's likely a hardware issue with the Nano meaning you'll want to have it serviced or replaced.

IPod touch 2nd generation will not connect to home wifi

My ipod touch 2nd generation will not connect to the internet. I am using a BT modem and this is a new problem. Until recently, I had no problem with this connection and it will connect to BT Fon and BTOpenworld. I just cannot get it to connect at home any more. I also use a macbook pro and this is connected to the bt modem.

You should post this in the iPod Touch forum. This is the iPod Shuffle forum.

Well, shut my mouth! There was a similar question over to the right about a 6th generation nano repeating over and over again -- I read the answer to that one, followed the instructions, and holy crap, it's back to normal.
Is there a name for this when you end up replying to your own aggravating question? That's what I did. Now I can go out and listen. It's only 91 degrees. Heaven. Thanks, Apple.

My ipod nano 4th generation will not connect to my windows vista computer.

I am attempting to add new songs to the nano but it is not recognized by my computer.

The following may help: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

When I plug in my ipod nano 2nd gen, it doesnt connect it to my itunes.

When I plug in my ipod into my itunes, it only charges and doesnt connect to itunes when i try to update some songs. whats happenin?

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting documents? They may be of some help:
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes

HT5261 my itunes updated last week and now it wont work at all.

it keeps telling me it was installed wrong.

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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT5610 is ipod nano 2nd generation compatible with Windows 8?

my ipod nano 2nd generation, will not sync. itunes says it is syncing, but nothing changes on my ipod. i tried resetting it, and everything stays the same on the ipod, not matching my current library. i also tried manually dragging and dropping items onto the device, and still nothing happens. i don't want to wipe everything off my ipod if it isn't compatible with windows 8, because then i won't be able to put my library, what songs/playlists are already there, back on the ipod.

it was until the last update of itunes, and many are having issues

My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync.

My Ipod nano 7th generation will not sync, I have updated itunes very recently. Everytime I try to sync anything, playlists, music, podcasts, or even photos from my computer, It does not sync. However before It syncs it tells me that I need to authorize my computer so that I can play purchased songs, so I log in with my apple ID and it says that the computer is now authorized but then when I press the sync button again the same message pops up over and over. Can anybody fix this?

Hello stowie10,
I would make sure that music is checked to sync, or any other data at that. Check out the following article to get the squared way with this setup.

Should an iPod Nano 2nd Generation Work With Windows Vista?

I understand that many people are having problems with their iPods and come here for support and solutions.
I'm just wondering if the iPod Nano 2nd generation 4g I have that is working just fine SHOULD work with latest iTunes on Windows Vista laptop (which I haven't used yet)?

Just to close this out I was able to connect the second generation 4g iPod Nano without issue. In a matter of minutes I had it loaded, recognized by iTunes with up-to-date software, sync with over 900 songs and almost 200 pictures and then ejected (I manually manage music)! Really sorry for those who can't get iTunes and/or iPod to work!

My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.

My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?

Hey s.mccarter2010,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iPod won't turn on
If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.

Have a nice day,

IPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes.

iPod shuffle 4th generation will not connect to iTunes. Windows Vista and iTunes, all updates current. Cables secure & connected. Device driver will not load. iPad will connect when tried with several other computers. When I try to connect it will hang iTunes until I re-boot. iPad does NOT appear in Windows Explorer either.

Oh, so the iPad DOES work fine connected to the same computer and the same port. I thought you said it did not in the first post, but maybe you got that working (or I misunderstood before).
NOTE: When things are working properly, the shuffle will not appear in Windows Explorer (except when actively syncing), unless you have Enable disk use turned on for the shuffle. So not seeing it in Windows Explorer may not be a problem.
Is this shuffle a new purchase... so it did not previously work for you on this computer? If so, make sure that the shuffle end of the USB cable is fully inserted into the headphones jack. The fit can be tighter than expected, and it may seem connected, but is not. For a surprising number of people, this was the problem.
In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of window) visible. If it is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When there are no devices connected, the heading DEVICES should not appear in the sidebar. When you connect your iPad, DEVICES should appear, with the iPad listed below. If you connect the shuffle, it is be added to the list under DEVICES. To confirm, you do not see the shuffle listed there under DEVICES, when it is connected?
When you connect the shuffle, does its light on the shuffle do anything?
