Ipod nano and Windows XP

iTunes recognizes the nano, I go through the initial ipod setup to name it, etc. I can add songs after that. But then when I eject it/disconnect/reset, it comes up and starts through the setup process again. Name is not saved, songs are gone. Am I missing a step?

Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

Ipod nano and windows XP pro

I just purchased a new Ipod nano. I installed iTunes 7 and am able to download and move songs. Itunes recognizes my ipod but everytime I dock or open iTunes I get a:
Found new hardware wizard that pops up. It states
" there was a problem installing this hardware.
Apple iPod USB Device
The specified service does not exist as an installed service"
Some times it will pop up 4 or 5 times and the only option button that work is the "Finish" button. After 4 or 5 times it goes away until I close and re-open Itunes or undock and dock my Ipod.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks!!

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

IPod Nano and Windows ME

I need to get a Nano!
Does it work with Windows ME?

ITunes doesn't work with ME, but if you search the forums there are other applications that you can use to transfer music from your computer to the nano.

I am having problems importing from a DVD or a CD to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I initially set everything up on a computer with windows 7, and authorized the windows 8 computer as well. Howevre, the oly thing that comes up on windows 8 is my purchases

I am having problems importing to my Ipod nano via windows 8. I usually do this from a windows 7 computer and have had no problems; hoever in windows 8 I can only see items purchased in the Itunes store. I do not have access to my entire library, which includes song uploaded from CDs and some videos. As a result, I'm having problems uploading any new items from CDs or DVDs. The computer with windows 8 is an authorized computer, so I don't understand why I'm having the problem.

Hello APVzW, we absolutely want the best path to resolution. My apologies for multiple attempts of replacing the device. We'd like to verify the order information and see if we can locate the tracking number. Please send a direct message with the order number so we can dive deeper. Here's steps to send a direct message: http://vz.to/1b8XnPy We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password. If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it. If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem. If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!

Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!

You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

Trying to install 1st generation iPod Nano on Windows 7 OS laptop.

When trying to open i Tunes installed from my original software CD, I get a message ""The files 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of i Tunes." I have a 1st generation iPod Nano and a Windows 7 OS laptop. The newer i Tunes wouldn't work with my iPod (said it was corrupted), and when I restored the ipod, my CD-DVD quit working and I had to do a system restore to fix that. Now I am trying to get my ipod working with my PC again and get the above message. What do I need to do to get everything working together?

Don't use the original software CD, because its software is outdated.
Download the latest version of iTunes here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
It works with all iPods, going back to the first one from 2001.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library. My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books. I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook. Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it. My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Bought a new ipod nano and the computer won't recognize it

I just purchased a new ipod nano and have my itunes on Windows 8. I've connected it with the supplied cable to USB 2 and 3 and every time I receive a message a new ipod has been connected but it is not recognized by itunes.
How can I make this ipod work so I can set it up and start using it?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format. For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen. If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
That version should play on an iPod nano. NOTE: Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

New IPOD nano and getting HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\software\Classes\quicktime

I tried to install the software for my new iPod Nano and it would nto load for this message:
could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTime,QuickTime\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. I've tried shutting off the firewall and made APPLE a trusted site. I even removed the old Quicktime from my computer and this did not work. Please help this not very tech savvy old lady.

I had a similar error:
Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib
.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key, or contact your
support personel.
Apple help told me it was a Windows problem and that
I needed the Service Pack 2 (SP2). I already had that
update, so that alone was not the problem. In surfing
the net, I found an answer for my error that worked
on bleepingcomputer.com from HitSquad. Here it is, it
may work for you too:
Click Start>Run and type "regedit" (without the
quotes)in the Run dialog box and click OK. This will
open the Windows Registry Editor. In the left side of
the window, navigate to the path in the error
message. HKEYLOCALMACHINE is the top folder,
Software is the next folder, etc., etc. Right click
on the Quicktime.qt folder and select
"Permissions...". In the Security tab, it should list
Group or user names you have. Select a user name and
in the lower part of the window, make sure "Full
Control" and "Read" have check marks under "Allow".
Click "Apply". Now log back on under the username
listed in the upper part of the window.
Mine had a strange twist, even though I am an
Adminstrator on my computer, for some reason, my user
name was not listed. My son's user name was - maybe
because he loaded the itunes initially? I changed his
account to administrator and loaded itunes and
QuickTime under his name and the error went away.
Anyway, itunes 7 is now working. I'm no expert, but
this worked for me. Good Luck!
JB
This was a fix for me. I have to use my wifes log in to windows. I think she might have loaded the itunes a while ago under her log in. Good Luck everyone. At least now I can use my 80 gig ipod for something else than a paper weight. I must say though, Microsoft would have had a fix by now for this.
Good night and good luck,
Chief

I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks
-Alex

with that particular set of symptoms, first check on the possibility described in the following document:
