Ipod nano disk warning

i just bought my nano yesturday and was trying to install itunes n such from the cd that came with the ipod. when i reach a certain point in the process a warning message pops up with a yellow triangle with a exclamation point in it. it reads:
The software you are installing has not passed windows logo testing to verify its compatability with Windows XP
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft reccommends that you stop this installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
So after that, I installed itunes from this site. Everything worked fine untill I tried to connect my ipod to my computer to transfer the songs to it. The same type of installation program popped up and so did the warning above. I have Windows XP and it says on the ipod box that the nano is compatable with my computer. Anyone have any idea if this will really hurt my computer or what I should do about this?

I'd suggest continuing the installation. If you've downloaded from Apple or used the files that came with your iPod, AND you've checked that your computer meets the required specifications, it will not damage your computer to continue the installation. The songs will not transfer until iTunes and Quicktime are correctly installed and you have run the iPod Updater.

IPod Nano Disk Drive Size

I'd like to buy an iPod Nano or mini with speakers for everyday use and riding on a horse. What's the largest size hard drive available on the Nano? Also, how well will it work on my horse. What am I getting into here? He's being taught Classical Dressage to Music. Horse riding is the major reason I'm buying an iPod.

Maybe it's just that the black shows the scratches much more than the white of a standard iPod. I don't have one to compare - this is my first ever Apple purchase. Needless to say I am NOT impressed. It's a very elegant design, but a poor build.
I spent my lunchtime cruising around all the CD stores in town trying to find one that sold the special solution you can buy to hard-coat CD's so that they are scratch-resistant. (CD's are made of polycarbonate too.) Didn't find one yet, but I'll keep looking.

ITunes directory on iPod nano device not showned

I have a iPod naono 4th generation. I nedd to transfer the iPod Music Library from the iPod (using as a disk enabled) to my iTunes library. But following the instructions to do it I must see the iTunes directory on thr iPod nano device. I cannot see this directory on the iPod nano disk. My operating system is Windows XP. How can I visualize the iTunes directory on the iPod nano ? The question is: how I can transfer my music library from the iPod nano 4th generation to my iTunes library ?

Hello roby000,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
You will also have to show hidden files in order to access the music directly on your iPod. By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
For more help on manually copying music from your iPod to your computer, see this article.

Ipod(nano on XP laptop) connot by updated.Disk could not be read/written to

hello all
I have an ipod(nano 4Gbs with iTunes on XP laptop) and cannot get it updated. I have gone through the 5R's.
I ran all updaters and got message - "iPod manager internal error" and "cannot mount iPod"
Got this message on iTunes also "Disk could not be read/written to"
...any help would be much appreciated.

with the internal manager error, see:
iPod Updater for Windows: "Internal manager error" occurs when restoring or updating iPod
with the itunes error message, see:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
and since you're on a laptop, we'd better check on these possibilities as well:
iPod not recognized correctly on Toshiba laptop
iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes. Windows has all the most recent updates too. I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help

IPod Nano 5th Gen is stuck on the Apple Logo, won't go into disk mode and won't connect to computer.

My iPod Nano 5th Generation won't turn on; I've held down "Menu" and the center button which makes the Apple logo come up, then it just stays on that. I've followed steps I've seen on here trying to get it into disk mode by holding down the "Play/Pause" button and the center button immediately after the Apple Logo appears but it doesn't respond to that at all. I've charged it and upgraded my iTunes but nothing seems to do anything to it. When I plug it into my computer there is nothing to say it's plugged in on iTunes or My computer or anything. It's driving me crazy and I'm hoping there's a way I can fix it without it having to be sent off.
Any advice would be cracking!
Thanks,
Tilda

Ipod Nano sync error : Hard disk write protected

I have a 2nd gen IPod nano 4 GB. I had Itunes 7.1 installed on my PC when I last synced. A week later my disk crashed and in the new disk I installed Itunes 7.2. When I tried to sync, I get a error message which says " disk is write protected. Please remove write protect and sync again "
Can someone help

No, you can use a third party program like Yamipod, or XPlay2, etc. But I would advise you to download iTunes anyhow, even if you have to go to another computer and then burn it to a CD or something.

Receive error message, The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. iPod nano 6th Gen, all latest updates, Macbook Pro, with OS 10.6.7

Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7. This is getting frustrating. I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once. I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod. I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad. This is the only device that has this issue.

I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
To do this:
1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

I erased my iPod nano with disk utility and tried to restore but I get a 1430 error and it never restores.

Ok so I tried to connect my iPod nano to my computer, but when I opened iTunes, the iPod automatically ejected. I thought that restoring it would fix that, but since I couldn't restore it in iTunes because it kept ejecting itself, I decided to erase it using disk utility. I read on here that it's possible to do that. So then my iPod said to restore in iTunes after I erased it, so I did, but it failed with an 1430 error. How do I fix it? Is my iPod destroyed for good?

Take a look at this support document regarding that error. iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439 - Apple Support

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

Reformatted ipod nano using disk utility - no longer works

Idiotically I decided to use disk utility to reformat my 8Gb iPod nano (5th Gen) as I wished to use it temporarily as a USB drive compatible with Mac and Windows. Now that I wish to use it again as Apple intended, I find that iTunes does not recognise it in the Source list.
It shows up fine on the desktop and when the iPod is charged, it always asks me to select a language, and then comes up with the menu screens (music, videos etc) but it is empty with no data.
I tried following the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 but was foiled at step 5 as I do not have the file they wish me to trash.
Any clues on how I might go about fixing this? I would very much appreciate any assistance!!
Cheers

Hello kismet_kracker,
Maybe trying reformatting it again via *Disk Utility* except this time, change it's file system type to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and see if that helps.

Upgrade disk space storage in a 8 GB iPod Nano (6th generation)?

Hello.
Is there a way to upgrade/replace an old sixth generation iPod Nano's 8 GB disk storage to 16 GB like with computers? Or do I have to buy a new one?
Thank you in advance.
