Can't install brand new nano

I'm aware that there are a ton of topics like this already, but I figured I'd post a clean one. I have a brand new HP laptop with Vista and a brand new 4g ipod nano. When I try to install the ipod, I get a screen saying "Insert the disc that came with your ipod." Since that's not possible, the other option is "I don't have the disc." The options are "check for a solution"(which doesn't find anything) and browse my computer. Does anyone know what to do from here? Thank you

Finally! I found the answer after a lot of searching. Here's what to do if you hae the same problem.
"I eventually got around it another way. It seemed that Vista wasn't looking for the drivers in the correct place. I just waited for the wizard to ask for the location of where the files are located, and typed in C:\WINDOWS\System32. Then the computer installed the drivers properly (detected and installed as ipod). Then another found new hardware popped up and i also pointed it to C:\WINDOWS\System32. This installed as generic volume. So all fixed!
Above, I was asked to type C:\WINDOWS\INF - That did not work."
YOu have to do this a bunch of times till all of the drivers are installed.
I found this on google-here's the link for the rest of the discussion- http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/697583.html

Brand new Nano: screen fade out?

Brand new Nano...the screen will fade to mostly white, however you can still faintly see the icons and it will operate but the whole screen is covered with the fade out effect that normally is confined to the right edge of artist/album/song names that are too long to fit on screen.
It seems to have happened mainly when it was plugged into the MBP USB slot to charge/sync.
Has anyone seen this? Is this a malfunction that warrants return? Is this normal?

yeah, definitely not normal. I find folks describing white screen with the logo and black screens but no one with this "faded" screen. I can faintly see the controls and they will move, but you can hardly use the thing.
it's going back to BestBuy before the return policy expires. This is the first Apple product I've purchased that has failed to live up to it's expected operation. In that it has failed miserably. So, it will be ditched.

Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound!

Brand new Nano 7th gen has no sound. I've tried 3 different headphones, turned volume up, watched the bar indicate the song is on play, cannot find a mute switch (or indicator on screen) and can't understand why I can't hear music. Can there be an earphone jack problem on a brand new Nano? Help please!

Are the headphones plugged all the way in? Does the FM radio work?

Can't install a new version of iTunes

I upragded my iPod, but now I can't install a new version of iTunes. Always when I'm trying to install it, it says I should write somekind of iTunes.msi path. So what should I do?
And sorry about my bad english

msi problems can usually be fixed with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility.
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been with drawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Use the Cleanup Utility to remove any instances of the problem program, i.e. iTunes.
Then try installing itunes.

I can't print my calendar, and I can't install the new Iphoto??

I can't print my calendar, I need to update my Iphoto. But I can't install the new Mac OS, I have the version 10.6.8 and my macbook is too old to deal my the latest one. What can I do to print my calendar If I can't install the new version of Iphoto?
Please help me!
Steve

My calendar is done in IPhoto, it's a project you can get done in Iphoto and It's printed by apple and ship to your door. Useful, but not anymore because that's the message I received one I send when I buy the calendar.
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products."

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

You will need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard to get a Compatible version of iTunes to Sync your Device.
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
