    I have an old ipod nano (2nd generation) with music on it from an old itunes account from a few years ago.  I have a new itunes account now.  How do I get the music (that I purchased) transferred into my new itunes library?

    Hi sid1010,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library.  Here's how:

  • I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel

    I have an ipod nano 2nd generation with a non responsive click wheel. I have fully charged it tried resetting it and on two different computers with the latest iTunes I have restored it with the latest firmware then moved it to hold and off hold held in the menue button and select button for 10 seconds but all I get is a screen where I select the language but cant get any response from the scroll wheel.
    The hold button is working (I see the lock icon go on and off) I have done the restore procedure and then reset many times but no good I am wondering if I should open it up and disconnect the battery for 30 seconds.
    I would appreciate any advice thanks in advance. (This is my Daughters ipod mine is an 8 gig one.)

    You need a newer model iPod, a 4G or 5G. The 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Can I replace my ipod nano 2nd generation with ipod nano 3rd generation.?

    I bought an iPod Nano 2nd generation last year in June and the warranty lasts until June of this year 2008. I want to know if there is any way to upgrade to an iPod Nano 3rd Generation without paying for a whole new iPod. If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano. Is there any way to get the 3rd Generation iPod Nano?

    If my iPod is messed up or something, will they replace it with a 3rd generation iPod Nano, or another 2nd generation iPod Nano.
    If they still have iPods in stock of the older generation, you will get one of these; the color may vary, but other specifications should be the same. If not, you will most likely get a current model.
    You may want to find someone willing to purchase that iPod, and then put the money toward a current one.

  • How to run games on ipod nano 2nd generation with firmware 1.1.1

    Does anyone know if you can run games on the 2nd generation ipod nano with the latest firmware of 1.1.1 when the itunes store with games wants the system to have firmware 1.2.
    This means that the games must only work on 1st generation ipods or that 2nd generation ipod nanos do not need this level of firmware.
    Games are not loading on my ipod.
    Any advice?

    Nope, sorry but games are currently only supported on the 5th Generation (video) iPods. Also the 1.2 firmware is only for the 5th Generation iPods.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

  • My ipod says it was et up with another itunes library, it wasn't, and when I add songs to my library when I go back into it they are all gone, please help im going in circles

    Please help, I am constanly re importing songs, I have to re sync my ipod to my library each time i plug it in, and I am unable to import songs from my media player, any ideas?

    When I plug it in I get the **'s ipod is already synced with another itunes library so do I want to erase & sync message
    Even though it is the same music in iTunes, iTunes does not see it as the exact same library because you had to re-add all the songs to it.
    You will need to erase and sync and you iPod will simply end up as it is now.
    It's like of your house burns down and you rebuild it exactly the same, it is still not the "same" house it was.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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 have purchased a windows 7, 64 bit laptop. I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano if I download the 64 bit version of iTunes will this cause problems with compatibility between my laptop, iTunes version 10.1 and the 2nd generation iPod Nano?

  • 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

    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!
