TS1410 Help with 2nd generation iPod.

Hi
Have just purchased my first imac. I have a 2nd generation ipod that now is not recognized in itunes. It still works with my old pc, which is at the end of its life. I am not very good with technical details so if anyone out there can help please could they tell me in idiot terms! My daughter just thinks that the ipod is too old (a little like me)!!!
Many thanks

The Nano should still work with your new Mac.  What happens when you plug it in? what shows up on the iPod's display in iTunes?
WIth the iPod still connected to the Mac, try and reset it.
How to reset iPod
Does the iPod still appear in the Finder?

  • Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod?

    Do you know of any kids games apps compatible with 2nd generation iPod? wanted to put some kids games on but they all say they are not supported by iOS 4.2.1. which is the latest ios it can be updated to. I get the message This app requires openGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. Can you tell me if there are any games I could download for him please?
    If there aren't can you tell me if an ipod touch 3rd generation would be able to get alot of the current games like the lego ones and angry birds or which generation I would have to go to.
    Many Thanks

    - These sites allow you to filter searchs for those apps compatible with 4.2.1
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    - However, some apps currently in th app require a higer iOS version. But, as I posint out in my previous reply, Apple allows yo to downlod the last compatilbe version
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
    I know of no list/seach method to find those apps

  • Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

  • Messaging app that works with 2nd generation ipod touch

    I recently downloaded imessenger to my 2nd generation ipod touch but it was hours later and with the help of this forum, that I discovered it is not possible to use with my iOS.  Does anyone know of a texting app that I can use?

    If it just freezes at what step (what is listed in status bar)?

  • Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

    My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
    Thanks,
    dukegirl90

    I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
    Will this happen with the iHome?

  • IPod sync with 2nd generation iPod?

    Hey gang-
    Is the iPod sync supported in iTunes 7 dependent on the most current iPods, or will it work with older iPods, like my 2nd generation iPod? I'd like to use the new iPod sync to sync my authorized MacBook and iMac.
    Dave

    Or am I misunderstanding your question?
    Perhaps. I'm referring to the new feature in iTunes 7 that allows an iPod to "push" purchased music to all your Authorized computers, thus ensuring that you always have your full Authorized music collection on all your Macs. In other words, as you sync your iPod with each of your computers, it sends the latest purchased music to each.
    Here is an article describing what I'm talking about:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/2586x.html
    So I was wondering if that works only with the newest iPods, or also with earlier ones.

  • Newer generations compatible with 2nd generation iPod shuffle?

    I Have a iPod shuffle 2nd generation. Are the chargers for the newer generations compatible (3rd, 4th or 5th)?

    I returned the shuffle and got a new one. This one
    has "light" issues. Sometimes it blinks orange,
    sometimes green, sometimes the green light is on,
    sometimes the orange light is on and then no light at
    all. Also, it has recognition issues but not as
    often.
    Please order those issues with some more detail so that we can help you.
    I love the shuffle as it is the perfect size for the
    gym however, I should have waited to purchase one so
    the "bugs" would be worked out.

  • LOTS OF "WEIRDITIES" WITH 2ND GENERATION IPOD SHUFFLE

    It seems that I am not the only one with "blinking and light" issues. I returned my first 2nd Gen shuffle after speaking to an Apple Tech (who had NO CLUE, ADMITTED TO NEVER SEEING THE 2ND GEN). I was experiencing a recognition issue - my Mac would not recognize the shuffle. Itunes would open and it was as if there was no shuffle plugged in. It also made my Mac CRASH like a pc! A window would pop up that stated I needed to restart my computer by holding the "on" button for a few seconds. Yes, I have the most recent version of itunes and I made sure that it was plugged into a port in the computer not the keyboard.

  • My iTunes music download to iBook isn't syncing with my 2nd generation iPod Touch; why not?, My iTunes music download to iBook isn't syncing with my 2nd generation iPod Touch; why not?

    How can I sync my iTunes download to MacBook with 2nd generation iPod?

    What are you trying to do?
    To sync media from your iTunes library to your iPod:

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
    I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
    Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
    The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
    An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
    Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
    I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me out. 

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
    Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

  • ITunes is getting my brother's 2nd generation iPod mixed up with mine!

    I got a 1st Generation iPod Nano for Christmas last year. It has been working great, and I've experienced few problems. For Christmas this year, my brother got the 2nd Generation iPod Nano. We both have seprate iTunes libraries in our seprate accounts on the computer. I was uploading songs from his library onto his iPod for him. As soon as iTunes said "Okay to disconnect" I did so, and then closed out of iTunes, logged off his account, and signed onto mine. I opened my iTunes, and plugged in my iPod, and where the summary of the iPod showed up, it said "Erich's iPod" instead of mine. I thought this was strange so I clicked it, and all of my brothers library was replacing mine on my iPod! I unplugged my iPod and checked it. It still had the name I had given it, but iTunes had it all mixed up. Is there anything I can do to make sure only my library is uploaded onto my iPod when i plug it in, and make sure that my iPod is recognized instead of my brother's?

    How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port on a new laptop? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered and connected simultaneously. Pls help.

    If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 2nd Generation Ipod touch stuck in recovery. PLEASE HELP!

    My 2nd Generation Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. At least i think it's recovery mode, the connect to itunes thing comes up and won't go away when I try to turn it on. I am willing to restore it but Itunes won't let me. When I press restore, an error comes up that says "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted." I have NEVER had any problems with this ipod before, except that it's a natural piece of crap, but yeah, it has worked completely fine until today when it randomly turned off (it may have died) and is now in recovery mode. It is not jailbroken or modified in any way. Also where Itunes usually gives you your ipod information I get this;
    Name: Ipod
    Capacity: n/a
    Software Version: n/a
    Serial Number: n/a
    Please help me....

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
