Second Gerneration iPod Nano and USB 1.1

Hello,
I have read in other feeds that the second generation Nano is compatable with USB 1.1. Is this correct? If yes, will I need extra charger or something to charge the battery?
Thanks, John Heyne

i can't see why it wouldn't work, although downloading to the ipod could be a bit slow
but apple does state that a computer with usb 2.0 is a requirement... http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
a decent 6-pin usb port will charge the ipod, but some computers only supply low current on their usb ports, this might mean waiting a long time to charge the ipod, really you can only try it and see how it goes
there are add-on usb 2.0 adaptors available for many computers, so that could be the answer if you find your computer's port is no good

I have a second gen ipod nano and need to get the music fom it onto my library but it says registered to another library which was on my old computer i no longer have???

trying to get music from an old 2nd gen nano to my curent itunes library but the nano is registered to another computer which i no longer have??? any way to get the music without losing it all?

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

Bought a new ipod nano and the computer won't recognize it

I just purchased a new ipod nano and have my itunes on Windows 8. I've connected it with the supplied cable to USB 2 and 3 and every time I receive a message a new ipod has been connected but it is not recognized by itunes.
How can I make this ipod work so I can set it up and start using it?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Ipod nano and fire wire connection

Is a fire wire connection compatible with the second generation ipod nano. It came from the factory with a USB 2.0 cable. I have a 20 gig ipod that was supplied with a firewire connection. Are these two interchangeable with either unit? Awaiting a reply, thanks.

FireWire cables cannot be used to sync an iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod.

IPod nano and smart tv

I tried plugging my IPod nano 7th gen into my Samsung smart TV (using the lightening usb connection) and I can't get it to play music through the tv. Am I not doing the right thing or is not an available feature.

The Lightning-to-USB connection is meant for data transfer, such as when you connect it to your computer for syncing. So, unless the Samsung TV has the ability to transfer data from an iPod nano, that USB port is probably for the Samsung TV (if it's "smart") to connect external storage (like an external hard drive or USB flash drive).
Some Apple devices (that run iOS - iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) can play media directly to a TV, using this adapter

However, the iPod nano is not one of them.

If you can access the device: Tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings.
If you can't do that then you need to Restore it as New:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
You can also try using DFU mode:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

IPod nano and mini connectors

Are the nano and mini connectors interchangeable?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean to ask if the iPod nano and the iPod mini use the same type of connector? Then, yes, they do use the same type of connector.
However, there are a couple of differences between the two iPod models. For example, if you have a FireWire cable connected to your dock or an iPod cable with a FireWire connection, you will only be able to charge your iPod nano. The iPod nano requires a USB connection to sync songs or pictures.

IPod nano and Altec Lansing inMotion im5, clicks between tracks?

When I'm using my iPod nano with the Altec Lansing inMotion im5 there are 'clicks' between the tracks. When I'm using my iPod headphone I don't hear these 'clicks'. What could be wrong?

I've been playing around with my iPod nano and the im5 speaker system. I guess that the clicks might be caused by a gap (longer than 5 seconds) between the songs. It would have been no problem when the iPod should have a crossfade playback like iTunes has. I haven't heard the clicks when I use the iPod dock. The one I heard was just a strange end of a song....sorry!

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.
