Ipod Nano G5 connecting to windows xp sp3

I have read some of the solutions about this problem and they have got me closer to fixing my problem. I need to know what to do after putting nano g5 in disc mode and (of, course opening iTunes v9.0.2) and reconnecting it to the usb 2.0 port? What is supposed to happen next? Under my computer now i get a nano icon instead of a disk drive icon, but is still unaccessible. Should the ipod sync? well, it's not. What now people? (beginning to loose hair and marbles!) HELP!

I'll give the re-install of iTunes a shot. I've already un-installed it, but working with different problem with an mp3 player, do it some time today and let you know results.

why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

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:

Ipod Nano Not connecting to Windows 8, Itunes

I am unable to get my Ipod Nano to connect to Itunes. My computer is operating with the newest versions of Windows 8 and Itunes. I have completed ALL the steps in the troubleshooting guide through Apple. I would like to use my Nano during the delivery of my son next week. I have looked for answers all over the internet, with no luck. Can anyone help? I see that many people have had the same issue. (My Ipad also did not work). Again, I have completed ALL of the troubleshooting items

Ipod nano 4gb connect to windows xp and apple imac at the same time

can i connect my new ipod in my windows xp and download my songs then can i go to my new apple imac computer and connect my nano to that one as well and start downloading my songs i was told it will erase all my songs help!

The link Mitch posted explains how to use an iPod with more than one computer.
Now, because you use a Mac and your Mum uses Windows complicates matter slightly.
An iPod formatted for use on a Mac cannot be used on Windows without some additional software. This is because Windows is incapable or reading the file sytem that Macs use.
However, if you were to reformat the iPod on your Mum's Windows PC, then you could use it on both Mac and Windows computers.
Clearer now?

My Ipod Nano, when connected to HiFi thru RCA cable, cuts out until I disconnect and restart.

have u used the CD that came with the iPod because that does a lot for helping with reconization of the iPod.
but your biggest problem is that your using a Pentium not mention Windows and Acer! are you that cheap???
I'm going to get an iBook G4 buy December because their cooler processors(don't say a thing about speed because that would make you technologically challenged) and their wonderful OS that doesn't crash unless you find a way to make it and reliable software.

TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.
See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

6th generation ipod nano not shown in windows 8 or itunes

ipod nano briefly appears in windows then disappears and is not shown in itunes at all. I get error message saying "an ipod has been detected, but could not be identified properly" Have re-installed itunes, reset the ipod and restarted the laptop many times. Any advice please?

I've spoken with Apple and here is their response (worked for me). You need to uninstall not only iTunes, but also (in this order):
1) iTunes
2) Apple Software Update
3) Apple Mobile Device Support
4) Bonjour
5) Apple Application Support
Then you restart your computer. Then you install the latest version of iTunes (which will reinstall all those things you uninstalled). Then you restart your computer again.

Is there another way to charge iPod nano besides connecting it to computer?

There's various kinds of power adaptors available: for mains power from Apple and third parties, and for charging in a car from third parties. Plenty of options available to allow for shopping around.

Connecting my old ipod nano to a new Windows PC

I recently purchased a new Windows PC and I want to connect my iPod Nano (1st Gen) to it, which I've had for about 8 months with 800 songs on it.
I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (with Quicktime) on to my new PC. When I try to connect my iPod, Windows detects a USB device but doesn't recognise that its an ipod, so it doesn't show up in iTunes or My Computer.
I don't know why this is, but I have some theories (listed below)
* Is this because you need a driver for the iPod nano (I thought you didn't need it with the new version of iTunes) or...
* Will the iPod only Sync with Windows once (i.e. when you first connect it and it hasn't been formatted to Mac or Windows), once synced with that Windows it will sync with any other (for piracy reasons)?
* Have I got to do a master reset to my ipod to get it to sync with my new PC?
* Or is it some other reason?
Can someone please help me?

i have the exact same problem. I have a 1st generation ipod nano 1g, and the previous computer which had my software on it, crashed (windows 2000). Then we used another computer which had windows xp and i tried installing the latest itunes onto the comp and as i connected my ipod it showed an icon stating... "USB does not recognise devive" "no drivers are installed for this device". so yeah practically the same problem and i really want a solution, as this is the 5th time ive had my ipod stuff up in the short amount of time ive had it. Very frustrating!!

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!

Found solution for connection problems iPod Nano 3rd gen to Windows Vista!!

Hello people!
I just found a solution to connection problems with iPod Nano 3rd generation when connecting it to a Windows Vista machine.
Because of 'security reasons', Vista asks you to check the drive for errors when connecting the iPod.
The thing to do here:
Click the cross to exit the windows; DON'T CLICK 'do not check drive'!!!!
So just click the red cross to close the window and the iPod should be recognized by iTunes.
Symptoms:
- iPod cannot be recognized by iTunes when you connect it.
- iPod doesn't show up as a drive in Windows Explorer.
I really really hope I solved your problem. Have fun!
Jasper

Windows 7 doesn't awaken with Ipod Nano 5G connected

Brand new HP computer w/Windows 7 and brand new Ipod Nano 5G. Left ipod connected to computer to charge. After computer powered down it would not restart. HP figured out that the Ipod was blocking the restart. If I unplug Ipod computer restarts fine. Anyone else finding this problem?

I had the same issue with my 5g video awhile back. The computer wouldn't boot with the ipod connected as it was recognizing it as a HD and looking for an OS to load from it.
I solved the problem by going into my BIOS and removing "boot from removable media" from the boot list. I'd give that shot, though not all BIOSs have that as a change able option independently.
-edit-
The specific computer I was having an issue on with this was an HP pavilion a1340n, but the BIOS I had installed was a custom cough*hacked*cough version I was using to install Vista and later 7.
