TS3716 My iPod nano second generation is mostly not  appearing in iTunes. Windows sees it, and it is visible for moments in iTunes from time to time, but  I have been unable to sync it for a long time.  Anyone know what the fix is?

Does anyone know how to fix an iPod Nano second gen that is only occasionally appearing in iTunes? The OS is Windows XP. Thanks.

    Did you uninstall iTunes and all other Apple related software using the instructions in this Apple support document?

    Hello joejoehoppy,
    Look for it to pop up next to the iTunes Store icon. Also check out the article below to troubleshoot your iPod nano connecting to iTunes.

    Please if anyone could reply to the possible ways of fixing this error I will be grateful.
    I have tried to provide as much information as I can .
    -Yes , my iTunes is updated to the latest version.
    -My iPod is a Silver Ipod Nano Second generation 4GB's
    -It is fresh from the box
    -My computer is a Windows XP Pro.
    Thanks for your time.

    For this, first try going through the dll fix outlines in article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
    If that doesn't work, try doing a selective startup through MSCONFIG (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538), and then updating the iPod.

  • IPod Nano Second Generation Freezes Every Morning

    I bought an 8G iPod Nano second generation about a month ago. I love it! I use it with Windows XP. Every morning when I turn it on for the first time, it freezes up when I play a Podcast or Audio book. It also does it with songs but not as much. I push the reset buttons for 5 seconds until the Apple symbol comes up, it resets and then it works fine for the rest of the day.
    It seems like it gets messed up after I connect it the iTunes library on my computer. Does any one else experience this problem?

    I'm not sure you were experiencing the same problem:
    1. Sync iPod.
    2. Let iPod fall asleep for some period of time (a few minutes doesn't cause the problem; beyond 15-20 minutes does).
    3. Awaken iPod and play a podcast -> iPod freezes.
    I and many others have experienced this same problem. Yet, I don't have any life updating smart playlists referring either to podcasts or to playlists not on the iPod.
    Sometimes, playing a song track before playing a podcast will work. If the song plays, subsequent podcasts will, too. However, the song track often freezes, too.
    Also, if you reset the iPod at any point between synching and playing the podcast, the problem is averted.
    Apple has yet to acknowledge this bug despite the multiple threads. I presume that the scenario required to reproduce it is still rare (synching podcasts yet waiting for some time before playing the first one).

  • Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

    Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • IPod Nano Second Generation and Factory BMW iPod Adapter

    I am considering either an iPod Nano Second Generation or an iPod Mini to put in my 2008 BMW, since I have the BMW iPod adapter.
    I have noticed that the iPod Minis are a lot cheaper than the second generation Nanos.
    Is the Second Generation Nano a good fit for the BMW or should I go with a Mini? Thanks!

    I take it you are looking to buy a used iPod, since neither of these models is currently available as a new item.
    I'd go with the Nano as it does not have a physical hard drive like the Mini has.

  • Ipod nano second generation videos

  • Does anyone know what the second button is for on the logic board of an iMac G5 (PPC), 1st generation ?

    One button on the logic board of a 1st generation iMac G5 (PPC) is an alternate power button. Does anyone know what the purpose of the other button is?

    I am far from certain but I believe it is the power management unit (PMU) reset switch a/k/a Cuda switch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939
    Do not press it when the computer is on.

    See

    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • I have a 13" macbook from 2009 and for some reason can no longer change my desktop image by just clicking on an image in system prererences I-Photo. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    I have a 13" macbook from 2009 and for some reason can no longer change my desktop image by just clicking on an image in system prererences>I-Photo. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    Your Desktop Picture settings and Dock items are stored in the files
    /Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and
    /Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    in the "Preferences" folder in your user library. This looks like the system has trouble to write to these files. Check the permissions on your user library and remove the above files from your user library, then log off and on again.
    Your user library is hidden in Lion and Mt. Lion. To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option key, until you see the "Library"  in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.
