Hi, No the device icon does not show up. Since writing to the group I have succumbed to an Amazon ad for a 6th generation iPod with accessories. Should be here tomorrow. I will erase the iPod 2 and send it back to Apple so they can recycle the components. I can't complain. I've used this thing sooooooo many hours listening to music in the car and while walking. It doesn't owe me a thing. I hope I get 7 years out of the new one.

Thanks for your responses.

Hi, I have a second generation iPod touch which has been working perfectly til recently. The first problem is that it is no longer shuffling. If I push the arrows on the lower right to move to the next song it does that. If I push the icon on the upper right it will change to the next song after the first one is finished but it will not continue shuffling. Soooooo, how do I get it to shuffle again?


The second problem is that I just bought a new album on iTunes and went to sync the iPod. In iTunes I went to File and Devices but sync is greyed out and my iPod is not listed in devices. So does this mean I cannot move new music to the iPod?


I think I bought this in early 2009 so I suppose more than 7 years of perfect operation is too much to ask?


Thanks.

I don't have much on my old Touch2 and hardly ever use it anymore --
in fact, I just plugged it in, after letting it run down "too far" and it
had to be restored from a backup of 6+ months ago.

Does the little device icon show in the top bar next to the music/drop-down
box?
If so, select it there to get to the syncing page for that device.

I put a playlist on to see about shuffling.
When the song is playing and the album cover shows -- in portrait mode--
I see an arrow on the upper *left* to get back to the playlist, then the
"shuffle" label & icon above the list of song titles.
I can either select shuffle before I start play, or start play & go back &
select shuffle.

a) BE KIND - Harassing other members, web team, moderators, the administration, being rude, posting multiple messages with nonsense, running promotional ads and/or spamming will just get you banned. No name calling, no vulgar language, no promotion or links to offtopic sites.

b) NO SPAMMING! NO OFFTOPIC! NO WAREZ! NO TROLLING! - Do not use this forum to promote pyramid schemes and other commercial sites. This includes position openings by headhunters and recruiters.

c) THINK BEFORE YOU POST - Unlike other forums we do not entertain random blobs of scribbles and nonsense, be constructive in what you have to say. Do not post the same message on multiple threads, this is a form of spamming. Do not hold at ransom other members that don't share your opinion.

d) NO NEGATIVITY, RACIAL OR POLITICAL STANCES - We believe that everyone is entitled to their own point of view, but this does not mean that you have to become negative, rude, distasteful, etc. Adding to this forum your Anti-Microsoft, Anti-Apple, or Anti-Linux sentiment is NOT TOLERATED in the LEAST! We are not saying you have to believe in what anyone says, but you do need to respect their view(s). It is okay to be disagreeable so long as it is done in a polite way.
