Ipod Nano rejected by Windows XP

I too have a problem. I bought an Ipod Nano but when I plugged it inot my laptop which runs Wndows XP it started searching for "new Hardware". I then received a message from Windows telling me not to load the Nano hardware as it had not passed the "logo" test and could therefore disrupt my operating system either immediately or in the future.
How can I overcome this issue? I really want to use my Nano so there must be some way I can connect it to this operation su=ystem without it stuffing everthing up. Is there a clear, easy way to overcome the issue?
I am not a good techno person so clear instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Was that one of the messages mentioned in the following document? (Usually the sort of thing mentioned in the document crops up on an itunes install, rather than a hardware install, however.)

Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
I hope this helps.

Does the Ipod Nano work with Windows XP SP1???

Because I use Sound-Software that only works with Windows XP SP1 I have to keep this system, and I now would like to know if that works. Could anyone answer this question??

IPOD NANO compatible with Windows Media Player????

Hey guys,
I realize this may be a really dumb posting but I'm looking at purchasing a iPod Nano but my concerns are about how you load your music onto the ipod. I currently have all my music in my Windows Media Player but the ipod webiste says that I have to use the iTunes program. Any information or clarification would be greatly appreciated as I debate such a large purchase! Thanks!
Windows XP

Ok, I am definitely very technologically challenged, and I got a nano for christmas, and I have no idea how to get my music files from windows media player to itunes. I use limewire, which then puts all files in Media player, but my roomie accidentally deleted all my music from limewire, so now all that is in my itunes is all the music he downloaded from limewire after he deleted the library. Please help!!! I really wanna use my nano!!
Thanks

IPod Nano Video with Windows Movie Maker

I found this page by Apple that explains how to use video from the 5G iPod Nano, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3837
But, I cannot find Windows Movie Maker V2.5, and V2.1 with Windows XP will not import the video from the iPod Nano. Anybody have any ideas on how to solve this? (Besides buying a Mac...)
Also, Windows Media Player 11 will not play the video created with the 5G iPod Nano either.

You can use the AVS Video Editing software to import MPEG-4 Movie files in the same way you'd import .avi files into Windows Movie Maker. Also, the AVS Video Editor will allow you to import iTunes .mp4 audio files and incorporate them into your soundtrack. If you still want to use Windows Movie Maker for your video editing you can also use video conversion software from the same company, i.e. AVS Video Converter 6, to convert from MPEG-4 into .avi or .wmv format. I've found converting to .wmv to be considerably slower than converting to .avi though. Here's a link to the AVS video software offerings below. BTW, the AVS Video Editor can be used for free, while there's a charge for the Converter.

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183

IPOD Nano appears in Windows XP Pro, but not in iTunes even 7.1.1

Dear Experts
I have 1 GB iPOD nano. In my computer it is identifying in My Computer. But, not in iTunes.
But, if I put the iPod in Disk Mode, then it is being identified both in My Computer as well as in iTunes also. Then, If I sinc OR manually drag music from PC to iPod in iTunes, it is happening. But after ejecting the iPod from iTunes. The iPod go on blinking mode only.
(Off and On). How to take it out from Blinking mode to normal I am not able to know.
Then in that stage If I reconnect it to PC, it is appearing in Disk mode in iTunes. Then to get it normal mode I need to restore it in iTunes. Then only it is comming to normal ipod activity after rmoving it from PC. But after restore there is no music na.
Software also updated from 1.1 to 1.3 through iTunes in Disk mode. I have downloaded lates iTunes 7.1.1 also from net.
Please guide me to solve my proble. I found so many people like me who purchased iPod of Apple suffering like this. Why Apple put this much tipical process for their product ?
Thanks in advance.

Ipod nano not recognised windows 8

I recently bought a new windows 8 computer in Australia and I have a ipod nano 6th generation and Ipad mini both from Australia.
At first Itunes would not open untill I ran it as an administrator, now it works but will not recognise any of my devices. I am currently living in Canada and I am unsure if when I have reinstalled itunes it has made the software uncompatible. I think this is highly unlikely but im starting to wonder if anything is possible.
Upon connecting my device it comes up in the devices and hardware tab as faulty I have removed and added it several times reinstalled and restarted. When I open it in Itunes it tells me that I should reinstall itunes because there is an ipod that can not be recognised. I have no idea what to do I've tried everything I can think of and Ive racked my brains.
Is there anyway I can get these apple products to work or are they now useless because I've updated my windows to windows 8.
HELP!

IPOD Nano Seen in Windows & Almost in ITunes!

New IPOD Nano is seen fine in My Computer as drive F: (external hard drive is E:) and I can browse to it using Windows Explorer. Itunes starts up when I connect the Nano but it does not list in under Sources. I have done everthing I could find on the support site including the 5 R's, disabling all but core services using MSCONGIG, removing/cleanup install using MS utility/reinstall with Virus protection disabled, checking for possible power shutdown problem with USB. I even went so far as to use the XP System Restore utility to get me back to the day before bought the NANA, downloaded and installed latest version of ITUNES with no virus protection and disabled all but essential services using MS CONFIG. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I could try? I am running XP Media Edition.

My nano would also launch itunes but not be seen in the source list. How I resolved it was I would shut down itunes, and while the ipod was still connected, do the reset on the ipod. When I reset it itunes would launch again, and this time itunes would show the ipod in the source list.

Ipod Nano previously on Windows, want to use on a Mac now

Is it possible to use a previously used Nano from a Windows PC to my new Macbook?

Strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported however many people use one without any issue. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac; however, Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. Also if you keep it Windows formatted you won't be able to update the software on the Mac, you'll need to connect it back to a PC when a new version is released. If you have all your songs on your new computer you can restore the iPod on the Mac this will erase and reformat the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

IPod nano connection to windows

I am the new novice owner of 6th generation iPod nano and have spent the 3 days since purchased trying to set it up on my computer. iTunes was already set up on my computer (used by my granddaughter) and when I connected my iPod all music from the library transferred, I also loaded from a cd, that was the last time anything went on it. Now iPod is recognised in devises on my computer but when I open iTunes I then get the dreaded code 21 windows is uninstalling code. I have tried everything recommended and am on the verge of smashing up the iPod and the computer. Please can someone help ?

Hi,
If the cable is not Apple's own cable but a cheap fake, it might not work.
First thing to co, check if itunes is updates to newest.
After updating to newest, then check the cable for any breaks.
If there are no breaks and still not recognizing, see if other usb ports work.
If ist still doesnt work, try resetting the nano by pressing and holding the on button and volume down button at the same time until restart.
If all fails, buy a new apple cable like the one from here:

Installing ipod nano on a windows computer after it has been used on a Mac

I am trying to get an ipod Nano to work on windows after it was originally synched to a MacBook.
I have iTunes 8, and we've already unistalled and reinstalled it once. iTunes recognizes the iPod, and says "iTunes has detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on windows." When I try to click the "Restore" button in iTunes, it generates an error message that says the iPod cannot be updated because I'm not connected to the iternet....but I am.
Ideas?

PS I know that sun's Jar files are supposed to be
executable on win32 platforms with JRE2 installed;
however, I tested it out on some computers with that
runtime installed(by the installer progrma from sun)
and for some reason or another, it didn't do anything
when I clicked on the jar archive...That's because you didn't have the main-class in the manifest file.
That's the easiest way, you have a jar and a double click on win and it runs.
