The buttons to my old iPod nano 1st or 2nd gen (I don't remember) do not respond/work. Can this be fixed??

The Sad face icon is usually a very good indication of a hardware malfunction or failure usually with the iPod's Hard Drive, which would also explain the loud clicking noise you are hearing.
I assume you have seen this article yet?

Question about firewire AC adaptor and iPod Nano (1st and 2nd gen)

I have an AC adaptor from the Mini, model #A1070 W008A130 and I was wondering if it was compatible with both the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos.
I've been unable to find any power specifications and just want to make sure I'm not going to burn both mine and my girlfriend's Nanos out when we charge them away from a computer.
Thanks in advance.

You won't burn anything out.

Hi Phil.Surf 16,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPod is not in iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

Best thing would be to call Apple up again, and let them what has happened and they'll help you!

I am about to buy and iphone 4, its second hand and is in amazing condition. The only problem is that the 'wi-fi' button doesn't not work. I tried to click on it but nothing responds. Can this be fixed? Should i still purchase it?

while you are with the person selling it to you, ask if you can do a complete restore of the software settings->general->reset->reset all
reboot the phone to factory settings and see if that fixes the problem. if not, i wouldn't buy it unless they are selling it to you for less than $50. wifi is crucial for keeping data low and using features like facetime

What's the best way to replace iPod Nano 1st Generation?

I have two iPod Nano 1st Generations. One from 2005 and one from 2006. The one from 2005 just works when it feels like it. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't. And the one from 2006 recently exploded when it was charging. A silver bag (I'm assuming the battery) expanded and ripped the iPod apart breaking the plastic around the scroller.
Should I use that replacement program (I heard it didn't work for some) or can I just bring them to an Apple Store to replace them?

See if either qualifes under the 1G Nano recall.

Itunes will not update/sync ipod shuffle (1st or 2nd gen).

Hello -- I've seen a few postings with similar issues, but no answers that work yet, so I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
Recently, I can not get itunes to sync or update either my 1st or 2nd gen shuffle. itunes sees it and diagnostics says everything is fine (although the diag program takes 5-7 mins to run). Non-shuffle ipods work fine on the same USB port. Also, the shuffles work fine on other computers.
I have deinstalled/reinstalled itunes, as well as the USB driver. I downloaded the reset utility for both shuffles and run. No difference after any of these efforts.
The problem is the same for autofill or drag/drop. itunes says not to disconnect the ipod as it's sync'ing and the little sync symbol appears next to the shuffle, but itunes just locks up ~5 mins. It returns w/o an error message, but nothing has been copied. It's the same whether I try to copy 1 or 100 songs.
Any help will be appreciated. I'll cross post in 1st gen discussion as well.
Thank you,

None of the suggested fixes in the knowledge base article you referenced resolved this issue for me. Further, I cannot use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod as it is not 64-bit OS compatible.
I have been unable to sync my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen with iTunes since the release of 8.1.1.10. The new release 8.2.0.23 has not resolved the issue. Hopefully Apple will take notice of all the problems here on the forums and release either an iTunes or firmware patch to resolve these problems.

I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and ever since, as I'm reading e-mail or anything actually, the screen shifts, like a nervous tick, and during that few seconds it's frozen. Nothing responds. Can this be corrected?

I downloaded Mountain Lion a few weeks ago. Almost immediately I noticed that there was an issue. Every few minutes the screen or page I have open, e-mail, Facebook etc. will start to "jiggle" side to side. Like a nervous tick. During the few seconds it's doing that nothing else responds, it freezes my mouse etc. I guess I was hoping it would go away! Everything else is working just fine, and it never did this until I updated to Mountain Lion. Can this be fixed?

It is probably some incompatible 3rd party software.
I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

How can I transfer the music from an old ipod to an iphone 5c if I don't have the files in itunes anymore?

I have and old ipod and a new iphone 5C. I want to transfer the music from the ipod to the iphone. I could not do it in itunes. Need help. Thanks

Exact same way as razmee209 stated earlier. The sync process for the iPhones and iPods is one way from iTunes to the device, not the other way. The 3rd party software is the only solution if the music was not purchased via iTunes.
Simplest way is to transfer all your user data (inlcluding iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

IPod nano Lanyard Headphones 2nd gen problem

I have been using it for about 3 months. The left ear one's volume suddenly decreases to about half of the right one's volume while I was listening for an hour. How long can this headphones last? Does it have any form of warranty? And is there any way to fix this?
Message was edited by: jason32choy

on all nanos, the headphone hole is on the bottom. the only thing on the top of the nano is the hold switch.
unless i misunderstood your question, no, it won't work.

So am I correct in assuming that all of the Ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen are obsolete?

I can't seem to download any apps for my second generation ipod touch. I have looked on forums and searched the internet on what to do with no avail. Please do not send me any messages saying that I cannot go any higher than iOS 4.2.1 because I know this and you will be wasting my time. Basically my question is what do the people do that own older ipods? Do we simply toss them out? I think that this is a little ridiculous, I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older.

"Do we simply toss them out?"
No.
"I think that this is a little ridiculous"
Since you don't just "throw them out", there is no "ridiculousness".
"I paid for a product that I can no longer use simply because it is older."
Baloney. You can use the product, until it's no longer operational. If it breaks, you can have it repaired outside of the warranty.

When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

Well, I have an old ipod Nano, and I wanted to transfer the music to my new computer. The library isn't synced up, so is there a way to do it?

I have an old Ipod nano...3rd gen, and I have alot of songs that are on my ipod, not in my library, and I was wondering if there was a way to get those songs on my computer without them being erased. Trying to get them on my iPod touch,

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
