my ipod nano 2nd generation will not synchonised

[nirvana]

hi to all users rockbox .. I installed rockbox on my ipod nano 2nd generation 2GB and I'm very satisfied with the results. but I have a problem since I installed my rockbox ipod nano no longer recognized by my computer nor itunes and I was that my usb ports are going very bien.j 'I thought the problem was my cable so I decided to change the ipod cable and it's always the same problem but what surprises me is that when I b
 ranch to my pc my ipod to load because it shows how media. so I question why my ipod is not recognized by my computer. This is due to the fact that I installed rockbox on my ipod nano 2nd generation and it is still an imperfect software for it or is it that I forgot to download something or make an adjustment. how do I fix this? is there a solution? thank you in advance and I admire the work you do?

I moved your topic to General Discussion since it doesn't seem to involve recording.

Do you also have problems connecting via USB if you boot Apple's firmware first?

I believe I read that there are some problems with the USB HID feature active at the same time when you connect a 2nd generation Nano to USB. There is an option to turn it off under "General Settings > System > USB HID".

Note that I'm not a 100% sure but I guess it's worth a try and doesn't hurt.

I ended up using "iLoader" as the bootloader because the Rockbox USB/Flash code can cause a loss of all the data on the Nano 2G.

After losing all my songs and files for the fifth time using USB while in Rockbox, I switched to iLoader.

Any time I want to charge the Nano, or add files, I simply use the center button at the bootloader menu to put the iPod into disk mode.

See my instructions here:

If USB mode is suspect in Rockbox you can always just boot into the Apple firmware for USB connection.  It shouldn't be necessary to use a 3rd party bootloader.

I found that the iLoader's boot menu is much simpler.

It also allows booting into Apple's firmware by pressing Rewind... or another alternative firmware by pressing Fast Forward.

And USB mode is a simple center button press.

Of course, once the flash woes are rectified, it won't be necessary... but it's nice to see someone came up with a quick fix.
