New Nano doesn't work like 2nd gen iPod

When I powered off my 2nd gen iPod and then turned it back on, it would always go back into random play mode. If for example I was listening to an artist with 30 songs and wanted to go back to random play, all I had to do was power off and on and I was back at random play.
With my Nano, powering it off and on returns me to where I last was. The only way I know to get out of that artists play list and get random play again is to click through all the songs until they are cycled through one time. Then I get the main menu and random play again.
There must be an easier way. Does anyone know what it is?

I have shuffle set to on so I don't think that is it. There must be a way to get the iPod to go from playing only one artist to playing all of them again. Thanks for the reply.

Find My Iphone stopped working on 2nd Gen IPOD

Okay..until recently i was able to track my Ipod 2nd Gen on "find my iphone".. I have I cloud set up on my macbook, Iphone 4, Ipod 3rd gen and Ipad 2 with no issues. I have 2 Ipods that are both 2nd gen that used to show up but now one doesn't even show up and the other can't be located.
I have tried various things to try and fix it.
I have reset them IPODs
I have deleted the apps and reinstalled them
I have removed the info from my mobile me under the mail and calender area and reentered it to try and reactivate it.
Location services are on..I even turned them off and on again hoping that might trigger something.
I have tried everything I could think of and read and nothing works..
All software on the devices are up to date..I am at a complete loss at what is going on.. I have tried to locate them on my Iphone, IPad and Macbook and they don't show at all. Any idea would be appreciated.
Thanks

when they dumped mobile me. i just figured it out today. why can't we just log in with our apple ids vs. mobile me. ridiculous.

What the new update i can use for 2nd gen ipod touch

well this is kinda stupid i cant update my ipod 2nd gen and i want to buy minecraft PE but i need a newer update what should i do?

Buy a newer iPod. No, it's not stupid, iPod touch 2nd gen can only go up to 4.2 due to hardware restrictions.

Older Remote Model A1018 doesn't work on 4th Gen Ipod

Hello, I have a 4th Gen iPod and use a wired remote (model # A1018) and while I can hear the ipod, none of the buttons on the remote work anymore. The iPod has version 3.1.1 on it. Has anyone run into this or have any ideas to remedy?

Not a hardware problem at all. The existing headphones work... the earbuds are gertting a bit ragged thus I ordered new ones... 2 pair... and both do not work:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261053896227?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m149 7.l2649
They do however work in the iPhone 4s which indicates a compatibility issue.
Didn't mean to infer anything nefarious... just to point out that emillang must be experiencing the same problem as I am.
The only other solution I see is to buy a dongle or a case with integrated controls:

My new tab doesn't work like before.

Hello, I can't speak English well. Please don't use difficult words.
Before when I clicked on + for open a new tab, a tab opened. On the new tab I could see icons for famous web like Facebook, YouTube, Google , yahoo and ....
But now when I open a new tab I can't see these icons. I want my Firefox becomes like before. Please help me.

I have this problem also. I use Firefox 32.03 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
At first i thought it was one of the many add-ons i use that was causing this problem, but after restarting Firefox in safe-mode (without any add-on) it still wasn't working properly.
I also tried the same website in Internet Explorer 11 and it works fine there, so it looks like a Firefox bug to me.
I have this problem since i updated Firefox to version 31 from 28.
If it wasn't for the "Classic Theme Restorer" add-on, i probably would have removed Firefox from my machines after being a Firefox user for about 8 years since version 2. What a mess Mozilla made of the Firefox UI... i hate it.
But back on topic: like the maker of this topic said, it doesn't always open de weblink in the same tab, in most cases it works as intended and opens a new tab when i use <CTRL> + <Mouse Left Click> on a weblink.
I hope you can reproduce this problem when visiting this website from a Dutch theme park:
https://www.walibi.com/holland/nl-nl/attracties/thrills
All links on top of this page work fine, but when you use the links at the bottom-side of the photos (Condor, Excalibur, G-Force, Goliath) the webpage will open in the same tab.
If you need more examples of websites, with links that behave like this, i can find some very easily, but this was the last one where i noticed this behaviour.
Hopefully you can fix this bug.

Exchange calendar syncing suddenly not working on 2nd gen IPOD touch

Calendar syncing on IPOD touch 2nd generation no longer works with Microsoft Exchange server. Mail syncing works fine.

A full restore is probably not going to solve your ongoing WiFi issues - which are causing your YouTube problems. Best bet is to do two things with your router:
1. Pull the plug, wait a minute or two, plug it back in. (power cycling)
2. If that works, you are done. If not, go to the router manufacturer's website and download and install the latest firmware for your router.
If you are still having problems, reset your iPod network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When your iPod restarts, log back into your network by this route:
1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other
2. Enter your network name
3. Enter your security mode
4. Enter your password
You should be all set. However, if you continue to have WiFi problems, please post a new question, with details about your network setup and router, to one of the other touch discussion groups.

New macbook pro won't recognize 2nd gen ipod shuffle connected

I have just switched from my old Macbook Pro to my new one and had no trouble switching over my iTunes account, iPhone, iPod, etc but I can't get my old iPod Shuffle to show up as being connected to my computer. Any ideas?

My OS X (10.9.1) won't recognize my 2nd gen iPod shuffle anymore :(

Ever since I got a new desktop Mac 10.9, my 2nd gen iPod shuffle has only shown up occasionally when I plug it in...apparently at random. I've tried restarting with it plugged, plugging it while on, plugging it while off—no variables seem to make any difference. Since I updated to Maverick, nothing at all seems to work anymore. Other than that, the ancient shuffle is plugging along just fine. Any tips?
Thanks!

Hey JZKR,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues connecting your iPod shuffle to your new Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:

2nd Gen iPod Nano won't sync

My stepson's 2nd Gen iPod just won't sync. It behaves normally in iTunes and doesn't cause any problems or symptoms with the computer. Made a playlist and selected it to only sync to that playlist, shows that everything is fine, click sync- nothing happens. I went through every step on the website's troubleshooting pages- reset the iPod, restarted the computer, tried it on different USB ports, and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes. I tried to restore it and it went through the download process untill the end when a window popped up saying "error downloading software". I'm at a loss and feel bad for him because this was a Christmas present from a family member and now it won't work : / Any more experienced users have any ideas? I called tech support and they said they couldn't help me unless I paid the $29.99 fee because this iPod is too old for a warranty >: /

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
lost libraryHow to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

2nd gen ipod touch sleep/wake button will not work

Like the title says, the sleep/wake button (top button) doesn't work on my 2nd gen ipod touch. In short, I can't put it into sleep mode (I have to wait the one minute), turn it off to save the battery, take screenshots, or even reset it (without iTunes, anyways).
I don't have any guesses on why it's not working. It just stopped working one day. I don't see water damage (via the water damage detector in the earbud jack), and I don't think I dropped it in a way that would harm it (unless dropping it on carpet counts).
I should also mention that randomly, one day after school, I was messing with it, and the button worked. I think the battery had died, and I managed to turn it on then. It worked for a few hours (I charged the battery), and then it went back to not working.
The warranty's up (and I'm broke), so I can't repair it. I also want to point out that the problem started not long after the warranty expired. What, at this point, is my best option? Should I just save up for the newest model? Or would it be cheaper and more efficient to save up just enough for a repair? Any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

As I said, you can move on to Restore. Backup everything then Restore as New. Restoring from backup would just copy whatever software issue you may have. But it sure looks more and more like a hardware problem. Take a close look at the button to see if perhaps some dirt particles are stuck there.
You can also make an appointment with a Gnius at the nearest Apple store to have it diagnosed. Apple does not fix iPods, they just replace them with refurbished units, so it won't be cheap. Prices are here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You can Google for third part repair hops or do-it-yoursel kits.
Good luck.

2nd gen iPod touch - Factory restore not working

I'm trying to factory restore my 2nd gen ipod touch. I figured I could simply choose the factory reset in the setting and it would do it's thing. Now it says it needs to connect to iTunes in order to complete the process. However, when I plug my phone into my (windows) PC, iTunes doesn't recognize it. It makes the normal sounds and starts charging, so I know the PC recognizes that it's connected, but iTunes will not. now, I can't do anything on the ipod - it just sits there like a brick, help!

Tap Settings > WiFi > your network name (or at least the one with the check mark). Tap the little blue > next to the name. Look at Device IP - if it starts with 169.x then your router has not issued you an IP address
You also should have "Renew Lease" and "Forget this Network" buttons. Try pressing Renew Lease to see if you then get a valid response from your router.
If this doesn't work you can try these things:
1. Reboot your router (just unplug the power cord for a minute, then plug back in). If this doesn't fix it, try disabling security to rule that out.
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
There is more troubleshooting info [in this support article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398].
Hope this helps.

Recording live music on 2nd Gen ipod nano

Greetings-
I recently purchased a 2nd Gen ipod nano 4 gig. I'd like to be able to record live music, then load it in my computer. I obviously don't expect CD quality, just decent enough playback to be able to replay the music on my computer (using the Amazing Slow Downer, for example) to learn new tunes.
I would typically take it to an Irish music session, record the musicians then go home and try and learn the tunes.
Suggestions for a microphone?
Is this done through the memo function of the ipod?
If y'all have experience doing that kind of thing, I'd appreciate your kind advice.

As Lougoose and others have said, the "Music Videos" folder is simply there by default in the iTunes software, and does not have to do with your nano having the ability to play videos or not.
If you'd like to let Apple know about this, as a possible feature in a future update of iTunes or iPod firmware, write your suggestion on these Feedback forms:
iPod Nano Feedback

I have an iPad w iTunes. My hubby just got a new nano and I'd like to sync our music to his nano, but dont know how. Help we've already taken a great mp3 back to exchange it for this nano.

I have an iPad w iTunes, my hubby just got a new nano and we would like to sync music from my iPad (and not lose my songs in the process). I do not have iTunes on a pc so I don't know how to share music.

There is no way to share your music on the iPad to his Nano without a computer - that I can think of anyway. No third party application will work unless both devices have WiFi and many of them require a computer as well.
I would suggest downloading iTunes on your PC, transfer your music to the iTunes library and then sync the Nano.
Maybe I am missing something but I don't think this is possible as you are currently set up.

New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...? I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.
