IPod Nano software

When it is about to finish formatting it, it says that it canot connect and I have to go through the process all over again? I jus received it for my birthday and I would really love to listen to it.
Thanks for the help

Try doing it on a DIFFERENT COMPUTER, you will probably find that it will work. I would be surprised if the problem continues elsewhere.

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

BUG: - iPod Nano Software - Clock - Arizona no longer in MST

This is a pretty simple one. Since Arizona started observing Daylight Savings time, they also now observe PST clocks which the iPod Nano software does not reflect.
I'm willing to bet this is a bug across more products than just the iPod Nano software.

I'd be willing to bet that Apple considers the
updated behavior to be the "Correct" behavior.
According to the Apple Nano Features Guide:
"Turn on backlight - If the backlight timer is set to Off, press and hold Menu to turn on the backlight"
I would argue that the issue I am experiencing after update is not the correct behavior. Every iPod made, save the shuffle, functioned this same way: hold the menu button for 1-2 seconds to enable backlight.

Ipod Nano software on 20gig iPod

Yo, do u reckon that the iPod Nano software with the world clock etc will be avalable for the iPod 20gig?

Chris,
Noone is able to answer that. In fact, speculating is conflicting with the term of use on the Apple Discussions. It will get a topic locked or removed by the moderators.
But you can give feedback to Apple here.

Error when installing ipod nano software

When I try to load the software for my ipod nano I receive the following error
1601:unable to install installshield scripting runtime
I have tried all of the solutions offered but still no luck

OMG! You could sub-title this: "Why Windows Blows" ... I bought a new iPod for my wife - I have to install the sw on the loser windows box because she uses that box.
The iPod (cd) and/or the iTunes (apple.com download) install blows up either under my admin/unrestricted account, or as her limited-user account with the errors described above. I've followed all the links, etc., and jumped through all the hoops but I still get the %#$! 1607 error.
When I try, as a windows "super-user" <snort> to reset the perms on the windows/Installer directory, it gives me the appearance of allowing me to uncheck the box and take the directory out of read-only more, but it doesn't actually reset the directory permissions.
Since windows isn't smart enough to have an equivalent of a chmod 775 command....it looks like we're hosed.
I'm subscribing to the thread in the hopes that someone can actually figure out how to install this software on Windows successfully....until then, I guess she'll have to manage her iPod on my one of my Macs if it will support multiple iPods....
Hey ... Apple - how about itunes/ipod support for linux?
Sigh...frustrated beyond belief; I feel so unclean every time I have to use a windows system...

IPod nano software + windows 7

Recently I got a new laptop which has windows 7 on it. When I installed iTunes on it, it worked fine but then when I installed the software to connect my first generation iPod nano to my computer I started having problems.
After installation when I open iTunes a message comes up saying "Software required for communicating with iPods not installed correctly. Do you want to repair iTunes?"
After it does the repair iTunes will open but when I connect my iPod another message saying "Software required for communicating with iPod not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPods software."
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the software countless times and it still doesn't work. I have also gone back and made sure all parts of iTunes such as Bonjour were uninstalled as well. Nothing seems to work. Recently I also reinstalled iTunes and my iPod software on another computer and it worked fine. The only difference was my other computer was windows xp.
Help?

UPDATE:
While the iPod Nano would not even turn on in the two computers I tried earlier at home (and posted above about), when I plugged it in on my work computer (PC, Windows 7), the iPod Nano turned on fine as a brand new set up on this computer's iTunes and now it is working.
Very strange that it would crap out at home every time even though I changed the drive letter and followed all the other instructions.
I have to yet check if I can sync at home or not or if it will ask me to restore again!

Re-installed ipod nano software and can't get access now

I decided to change some of my songs on my ipod nano however I messed up and deleted all my songs on my Ipod. I couldn't get the songs to download onto the nano again so I uninstalled the programme and started all over again as if I had just bought the Ipod and was setting up for the first time. Unfortunately, when I tried to start loading music again I got the message "Itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes. Can anyone tell me how I resolve this?

Try installing the current version of iTunes; if you reinstalled the original CD that came with a first generation iPod nano, it includes iTunes 6 which can't read the iTunes 7 library format.

IPod Nano - Software Issures

I got my nano for Christmas 2005, and have been using winamp b/c I hate itunes. Anyway, I just updated to the lastest winamp, but it wouldn't detect my nano, so I went back to the older winamp and still the nano wouldn't detect. Windows detects it ok, I've also tried resetting the nano but it didn't help.
So I tried alternative programs, and also windows media player. They all detect my nano, but after I've added the songs and ejected (disconnected) it, none of the songs show up on my nano. But if I use windows to see the how much room is taken up, it shows that the songs are on it.
Anyone have any ideas about this, b/c I really DON'T want to use itunes.
Nano Windows XP

Winamp is not supported in Apple Discussions.
You should direct your question to a Winamp forum, or perhaps some other iPod related forum.

IPod Nano Software version upgrade (v1.1.3)

Hi All,
There is a version upgrade waiting on my iPod. (Version 1.1.3)
If i upgrade to this version, will i loose all my songs and photos on the iPod which i have currently. Also, let me know what features do i get by upgrading to this version.
Regards,
Sujay

Hello suja123,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

No. All your content will remain on your iPod. As to what it contains is a bit of a mystery, but it is mostly fixes for the current bugs your iPod may or could be experiencing and not really any enhancements or new features.

Ipod nano 7th gen cannot be detected by Itunes after restore

Following the recent death of my Macbook Pro (due graphic card problem) I've switched to my backup laptop and moved all my files to the windows 8.1 laptop. I knew that connecting my Ipod Nano (7th Generation) to the new laptop would result in losing all my playlist and music currently stored.
I needed to update my ipod's list with new things so I took the chance (innocently thinking that all I needed to do was just remake my playlists and re-sync it). Initially it started off well, but towards the later parts of restoring, iTunes gave an error saying that the restore could not be completed and led me to a thread on Apple Support. Following the steps, I disconnected my ipod and reconnected it. Nothing happened. Itunes did not recognize the ipod, and the ipod goes into a grey looking screen with a simple message that says okay to disconnect.
My question is, how am I suppose to restore my ipod, when itunes can't detect my ipod.
I've been struggling really badly with the loss of my Macbook Pro and now this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance
Currently running on Windows 8.1 and iTunes version 11.4.0.18

Hello there, lycusfenriz.
It can definitely be frustrating when your having trouble with multiple devices at the same time, but the steps in the article below may help with getting your iPod recognized in iTunes. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth recommendations for troubleshooting an iPod not being recognized in iTunes:
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
Connectivity/syncing
Follow these steps if your computer doesn't recognize your iPod or you have issues with syncing your iPod.
iPod not recognized by iTunes or computer
Make sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads. Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer. Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have a Windows PC that doesn't have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card.
If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to your computer's USB port.
iPod nano might need to be reset. Reset iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo appear.
If you're connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning Cable, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.
Check the cable connections. Disconnect the cable at both ends and make sure no foreign objects are in the USB ports. Then reconnect the cable.
Try reinserting the Lightning connector into the iPod. The Lightning connector can be inserted either way.
Try restarting your computer.
If none of these steps resolves the issue, you might need to restore the iPod nano software.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
