Ipod nano first generation and windows vista

I finally got everything to work right with Itunes and Windows Vista except one minor problem.
On my ipod, the blue "dot" does not show up when a podcast is new, so in a long lists of podcasts, I can't tell which ones I already listened to.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you, Debra

I have a new ipod nano and can not download iTunes to Winnows Vista.
Need all the help that i can get. Thanks,

  • Connecting an iPod nano (3rd generation) to Windows Vista

    I have purchased an iPod nano (3rd generation) and I tried to connect it via USB to a Windows Vista Enterprise Laptop. Even though the iPod is connected (as it appears on the iPod screen), Windows fails to locate the driver to install it. I have tried several articles found in the discussions forum, reseting the iPod nano, re-installing iTunes, and rebooting Vista, but no solution given.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Have not been able to connect to iTunes for months, right about the time Microsoft put out the Zune! Would love to hear from a lawyer about a class action lawsuit againat Apple since this issue has not been resolved and we are required to use iTunes. In the meantime, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission!

  • Ipod nano, new itunes, and windows vista

    Hello,
    I just recently bought a new computer that came with windows vista. With all the problems i've been having, I was sure that I would have problems with iTunes...
    Well everything went surprisingly well when installing the new iTunes and adding all of my music files to the library. I nervously connected my iPod to the USB, thinking it would erase all of my files but I was happy to discover that my computer recognized my iPod and remembered that I keep it so that I can manually manage my music.
    Now the problem is that, when I connect my iPod it comes up with a list of tabs, (summary, music etc...)...the summary tab says that my iPod has 13M left out of 4 gigs which is correct...but when I click on the music tab, it does not show the list of music in my iPod...so I cannot edit what is on my iPod. It gives me the option of syncing my iPod to my iTunes library, but I don't want to do that because it will erase everything that is already on my iPod, and I'm afraid that I'll have problems after that such as not being able to add songs onto it. When I eject my iPod and look through it, I find all of the songs still on it....is there an option somewhere that I'm overlooking? Is this something that has to do with the new iTunes or do you think it may be something with Vista?
    any input would be appreciated, thanks.

    This has nothing to do with Windows Vista, it's basically just one of the changes from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7. If you look in the left-hand column of iTunes (the source list) you should see the name of your iPod below the word "devices." If you look to the left of the name of the iPod icon, you should see a small triangle that appears to be pointing toward the iPod. Click on it. You should now see an additional menu below the iPod's name. If you click on "music" below your iPod, it should show you a list of what's on your iPod.
    Hope this helps!

  • BLACK 8G IPOD NANO THIRD GENERATION. WINDOWS VISTA. WILL NOT OPEN UP.

    is it the cord?
    my usb port?
    ANYTHING HEPLS!

    My cousin had this same problem when she plugged in her ipod.
    Luckily i was able to fix it for her.
    If it doesnt show up in either iTunes or windows explorer then follow these steps
    1. Click the start menu and right click my computer, click manage in the drop menu
    2. Accept the security thing and then the computer management will appear
    3. In the right hand pane, look for disk managment and click it.
    4. In the right hand side now it should display all of your system disks, locate your iPod and click format, a dialog box will appear and check quick format and then click format.
    5. Disconnect your ipod and it should begin to restart.
    But if that doesnt work, try this
    1. Get into computer management like before
    2. Go to device management in the left pane
    3. In the right pane it should show all the devices installed on your computer grouped in categories.
    4. Locate your iPod right click it and click uninstall, disconnect it and then reconnect it and let the device install.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • Have ipod nano first generation...want "search" and fast scroll from second

    hi i was just asking if anyone knew if it was possible to get an update for a ipod nano first generation that allows you to have "search" and the scroll by letter function on the new ones. I have updated my ipod nano all the way to the most recent one, but there is no search function or fast scroll.

    Unless your iPod is one of the Late 2006 upgraded 30GB or 80GB iPods or a 2nd Generation Nano, you don't have the search function. It was not added to existing devices in any of the subsequent updates.The original versions cannot be updated to the specification of the later versions.

  • Ipod nano first generation

    I wanted to exchange my old Ipod nano first generation, so I requested the box from Apple to put my old Ipod Nano inside.
    Unfortunately the box never arrived and when I try to order it again it says the serial number of that Ipod has already been used.
    Now I try to find a way to contact the right Apple department to order a new box. Does anybody know an Email adress? Thank you.
    P.S. I'm from Germany

    A patch? All you need is a suitable mic.

    Try disabling your security software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn Windows Firewall on or off
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows  <--- definitely try the instructions for resetting the AMDS.

  • I just recently updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and, after the upgrade finished, my iTunes library, playlists and all, vanished. How can I restore the playlists and songs to iTunes?

    I updated my iPod Nano 7th Generation, and it wiped my iTunes library. I no longer have my playlists or movies. I was able to recover my music, but the many, many playlists I had, I could not recover. Is there any way I could recover them?

    Hello apbvieira,
    It sounds like your iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes anymore after a recent update. I recommend the following article to help you get that in order named:
    iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    1. Start with the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
    If you haven't already done so, use the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant that applies to your iPod. This will often solve your issue.
    If you're still experiencing the issue after going through each of the steps in the assistant, continue with the steps below in this article. The most likely solutions are listed below (for both USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) iPod connections). Check each section starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping your iPod from appearing.
    Note: To determine if your iPod syncs via USB or FireWire, check the table in the Additional Information section below.
    This step will get you started, but there are additional steps in the article if you need them.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

    Im trying to sync photos from my mac to my iPod nano 3rd generation, and an error keeps coming up that says "format could not be converted". How do I fix this?

    Hi newipoduser,
    Here are some possible solutions:
    Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
    Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
    If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
    if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
    Finally, you can restart your computer.
    Hope one of these helps!
    Cheers,

  • I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work?

    I have an iPod nano 6th generation and I downloaded 3 music videos but they won't play on my iPod. They only play on my laptop/iTunes. How can I get it to work? I know that my iPod should take music videos because there is a pre-made playlist called "Music videos". Can anyone help me please????

    You can sync the music videos, but they won't play on your 6G Nano, because it does not support video playback. Sorry.
