IPod Nano - Tunes won't display on 2nd PC

I configured and loaded my iPod Nano on a Windows 200 PC using iTunes.
When I take my iPod to work and plug it into my Dell Latitude D800 laptop which runs Win XP Pro, iTunes comes up and displays the icon for my iPod. When I click on that icon no songs are displayed... but the bar at the bottom of the page says I'm using 31.21 Gb and that I have 8.80Gb free. It's the same when I right click it the iPod icon and choose "open". A new window opens but there are no songs.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and tell me how to fix it?
Thanks!

When I
click on that icon no songs are displayed... but the
bar at the bottom of the page says I'm using 31.21 Gb
and that I have 8.80Gb free.
And this is on a nano which can only be 2 or 4GB?
This may help:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

I apologize if I write bad but I'm Italian

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:

also,when the ipod is working the battery meter doesnt show,
and the "charging" icon is displayed instead

Hi, my ipod nano has exactly the same problem---won't turn off, shows the big charging icon instead, even after resetting it many times, and successfully restoring/updating the firmware to v1.2. It plays music fine, but it won't shut off.
What ever happened at repair shop, did they say what is wrong? Maybe I have to send mine to a repair shop too.
Thanks

IPod Nano 4GB won't connect!! help please!

ok so here's my problem::
i lost my original USB 2.0 charger cord and i got a new one yesterday. same thing..
only thing is, my iPod won't charge now. first, i plugged it into the laptop, and it said i needed to download iTunes. i did that & still didn't work. then, i tried charging it on the original computer i used to install my iPod when i got it. it still wont work. i tried the directions in the book the iPod Nano came with, and that didn't work..
!!HELP!!

The fifth generation iPods do not support synchronization through FireWire because they don't have the hardware component to include this. The component was dropped in part because syncing your entire iTunes library normally only needs to be done once unless the iPod is restored, and it will take longer for the iPod to fully charge than it will take to complete the synchronization through USB, and partially to make the iPod slightly smaller and save money. The time difference needed for subsequent synchronizations isn't nearly as noticeable.

After restoring my iPod Nano it won't reset.

Recently I had some trouble with my iPod Nano (4th Generation) where whenever I plugged it in iTunes would freeze and my computer would be unable to access the iPod or unplug it. This occurred after updating iTunes and then restarting my computer while the iPod was still plugged in, for whatever reason my computer would not log out with the iPod still plugged in so I had to remove it physically. When I tried plugging it back in the computer would not restart until I had removed it again. After all this whenever I tried plugging it in iTunes would freeze and stop responding and I Windows would not let me access it. After reading some articles, reinstalling iTunes and rebuilding my library I eventually managed to get the iPod connected by putting it in disk mode and then connecting it to my computer. With that done I then proceeded to try restoring the iPod. This appeared to work but I think I removed prematurely when it appeared that it wasn't going to get past the apple logo. I tried again and got it back into disk mode and tried restoring it again. This time I have left it plugged in with iTunes open but it still won't go past the apple logo and it has been like that for at least 30 minutes. Is it still recoverable?

Hello ABonyMouse,
The following article provides steps that can help get your iPod back to a working state.

My ipod nano (6th) won't hold volume

My 6th gen. ipod nano won't hold volume, but moves right back to silent after clicking the bar full. I have reset it to factory settings. What else?

If it is that new you may need to take it to apple. Another thing to try is press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for at least eight seconds or until the Apple logo appears.

My iPod nano 5G won't charge.

My iPod nano won't charge in itunes, will not reset and won't charge. What can I do?

Likely the cable. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective Apple will replace the cable/iPod.

My iPod Nano 8GB won't update to 1.2

How do i update my nano to 1.2.
It is currently 1.1.1 and indicates it is up to date. I have access to the 1.2, but I ave not had access through iTunes to update and I can not figure out how to update.
iPod nano 1.2 or later is required for the Nike+iPod.

Ok, alot of you all using the Nike sport kit keep misunderstanding the chart for this (also, the wording for the Nike sport kit may be a little misleading and needs to be updated). Your 2nd gen 8GB nano can not be updated to v1.2 because that is not the latest software for the 2nd gen. v1.1.1 is the latest one. The info listed for the Nike sports kit and the nano is in reference to the 1st gen nano, which current software version is 1.3 (it was 1.2 which is why the Nike thing says 1.2 or higher). This is why you can't update it. I believe they just haven't adjusted the info in relation to the Nike sports kit to include the 2nd gen nano. It is my understanding though that the kit works with the 2nd gen also, so no worries. Take a look at the link below and look closely at the different nano models and the software showing for it.

IPod Nano 8gb Won't Sync Whole Library

I just got a new MacBook Pro and a new Nano and when I try to sync my library it syncs all but 2 songs and I dont know why. I am not out of space on my iPod it just won't put 2 songs on it and I don't know which ones they are. The first time it synced my iPod it synced all but one song now it is 2. All of my music is legit too. It is all imported from my cds or purchased from the iTunes music store so I know its not a corrupted file or anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried resetting your iPod or go through any of the 5 R's? You may also want to make sure your Library doesn't contain any duplicate tracks. If this is the case, then the iPod may be skipping duplicates. This may not be the issue, but it doesn't hurt to check. Got to the top of iTunes and select View-->Show Duplicates. Another question is something that may seem like a stupid one, but just checking all possibilites....do you have files in your library that are not music tracks? Such as videos?

My Ipod Nano is frozen and displaying disk mode !!please help!!

My Ipod nano is displaying a huge check mark and it says "ok to disconnect". It is also locked in disk mode. It isnt charging or responding to any buttons I press. How do I exit the disk mode? Will someone please help me?

Reset your iPod: hold the "menu" and "select" (center) buttons together for 7 seconds. Then the Apple logo will appear on screen. This should exit your iPod out of disk mode.

My iPod Nano just won't work anymore. Please help if possible.

I have had my iPod Nano for under a year, and this past month it has been going crazy on me like for a week I was unable to turn it off. However, it all of sudden worked fine but two weeks later while I was listening to it, it just turned off on me. Now I cannot open it and I have tried charging it but nothing shows up and it just will not turn on. It is like my iPod has died. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for the help.
Windows XP

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

Ipod nano 6 won't start. I have already tried pushing the volume down & on switch

Ipod Nano full - no songs displayed

Dear nano-users,
I bought the nano just 7 days ago,
first I experienced the disconnect problem, that even if i eject the nano on the display of the nano it told me not to disconnect.
Then I put the software update on it.
Now I don't see the nano on itunes displayed anymore.
Nor does Itunes start up, when I connect the nano by usb.
Even worse:
On the nano display there aren't any songs anymore!
'About'-menu: 0 songs, capacity 3.7GB, available 51.1 MB
I did a reset several times on the nano - but didn't change anything.
Now at the moment I can't use it at all.
Your comments or any help highly appreciated. Thanks.

Make sure you have iTunes 6.0.4 and iPod Updater 2006-03-23.
Try putting your iPod into disk mode before connecting and attempting the restore.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If you are not able to restore your iPod nano, try connecting it to your computer and waiting for your iPod to become recognized by Windows.
Once it is recognized by Windows, open up My Computer and look for either an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk. Right click on it, then click on format, then click on quick format, then click on start.
Usually, when you do this, your computer will become really slow to respond to your commands. It's important to be patient with it, and not to click on the same thing too many times. Doing so will only make the process take longer.
Best wishes,
CG
P.S. I've been hearing a lot of talk about problems with the iPod nano and the latest updater. Apple's tech support is fee-based, but you do get 1 free call within the first 90 days. If you're not able to resolve this issue through the steps above, you might want to consider giving them a call about this. Make sure you get your case number from them before they end the call, though, in case you have any more problems regarding this issue.

IPod nano: How does the display looks like during first connection with a computer?

Hallo everybody,
Today I got my brand new iPod nano. I connected it to my computer approx. 30 minutes ago.
The window in iTunes opened and I could chouse all the details. So far, so good.
But what about the display? I can only see a black and white display with the word "iPod" in the middle of the first line and a symbol of a battery on the right.
In the middle you can see a picture of part of the cable connection and beyond the Message "Connected. Eject before disconnecting".
So, when will I see the home screen or the buttons? Does anyone know? Have I done somthing wrong? Or do I have to wait until the batterie is full for the first time?
Thank you very much an greetings from Germany,
Petra

Hello thetwy,
Try the reset while the ipod is plugged into the computer. Steps here:

If that does not work, use a different usb port on your computer, and/or, try the reset on a different computer.
Hope this helps.
