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.

I want to download my ipod nano on my home computer. It has been previously been downloaded on my work computer. Can this be done?

I had my library on my old work computer, that is no longer available. I want to download my library to my home computer. Can I simply hook my 3rd gen. Nano up to my home computer and download my library? Thank you in advance for your help!! Rick T

I guess that would be where my problem lies. I do not have a back-up copy anywhere, the only thing I have is my Nano. Am I screwed?
As I explained in the first response, you can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod to your computer.
You may be able to buy software that will allow you to get the other music, but this is not supported by Apple.
It is very important to always maintain a backup copy of computer (files/docs/pics/music/contact/calendars/etc).
Hope all goes well.

X200 cannot sleep/hibernate after WWAN has been used

Since upgrading to Windows 7 I experience problem using Sleep or Hibernate.
If I have been using WWAN (the Ericsson card) the computer will not Sleep or Hibernate afterwards (sometimes it will work, maybe 1 out of 10 times). The computer will start preparing for Sleep/Hibernate and will switch off the screen. But it never finished (caps lock will not work, but the HD LED can be seen blinking every 3 second or so) and will stay on until the battery is drained or a hard reset is performed.
It was working ok in the beginning after installing Window 7, but stopped working somes in june/juli this year.

HI, thanks, but I know I can set a new password. I just wanted to get my old one back cos I have used it a long time & can therefore remember it.

Not able to power up computer after it has been shut down overnight

I just bought a new Compac Persario desktop . I have it plugged into a surge protector and at night I do shut it down. Last night, I shut it down like normal, and when I got up this morning, it won't turn on. The power switch on the computer does nothing. Nothing lights up and there is no sound from the cooling fan in the back. Everything else plugged into the surge protector works, including the speakers and the monitor. If I unplug the power cord and plug it back in and press the power button it turns immediately. Could I have a bad power cord? I have had several HP computers and never had this problem.

I restored my ipod a touch and lost everything but I don't know if it's backed up on a computer because I've been using my brothers mac. I lost quite a few music purchases and apps. What can I do?

I have a majority of my music backed on another laptop that i can access, and I had downloaded some music from my brothers itunes library that I can get back. As well as apps, I know i can re-download those for free. It's just the music i downloaded that I'm worried about because I don't know if I can get that back. Please help!

ranmat11, you can only download apps and iBooks at no additional cost. For music and videos you only get one download and it is up to you to back it up. You will be charged again if you redownload music and videos.

When connecting ipad to itunes, in the Summary tab (in itunes for your device), look in the Backups section and choose to back up to itunes.

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.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

Hello Marie,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on. I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
You can find the full article here:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset. To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

How does one copy songs from an iPod nano to a new computer?

You can't add any iOS to a Nano since it doesn't run iOS.
For iTunes purchased music connect to your computer and in iTunes go to File > Transfer purchases.
For non-iTunes music you will need 3rd party software. Assuming you have a Windows computer try Yamipod.

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.
* As always, exercise caution when using Shareware. So far my own experience has been good.
