IPod Nano Update to 1.3 causes corruption

My nano was originally formatted with my old mac laptop. Now I have a PC laptop at home. A PC has never had a problem reading the ipod. Tonight, iTunes said there was an update, 1.3, for the ipod. So I updated. Once it was done running the update, iTunes said the ipod was corrupt and should be restored. What the ****? The ipod won't even show up under My Computer when in disk mode because it is formatted for a Mac. The only places I can even tell it is connected are in iTunes and the little green arrow at the right of the Windows taskbar to disconnect removable drives.
Needless to say, livid is not adequate enough to express my irritation. The reason I got the PC laptop is because my Mac went kaput. At that point, my ipod became the storage to my only copies of those photos. Now what?

I'm having a similar issue tonight and it is B.S. I have a Nano that I use with my mac at work and my Windows XP at home and it kept bugging me to update so I finally did and instantly after the update it reads as corrupt. ***. I knew I shouldn't have updated.

Windows recognizes iPod Nano, Updater/iTunes does not.

I'm sure this question's been brought up, but how do I get my computer's iTunes/iPod Updater to recognize my iPod? I've tried resetting/reconnecting/rebooting/reinstalling numerous times, and I've got a 2.0 USB Port.
The thing that irks me is that my other computer recognizes my iPod Nano in the Updater/iTunes while this one doesn't. However, that one's old and doesn't have any music, thus I need this one to work.
They're both Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

I also had the problem of iTunes not recognizing my iPod nano, but it worked on my dad's comp, but I figured it out today. If the iPod is appearing in My Computer, make sure it doesn't have the same drive letter as any other drive(esp. C). If it has the same letter, change the letter by going to control panel -> administrative tools ->computer management ->disk management -> right click on drive of iPod(have plugged in so you know which drive to select)->click "change drive letter and paths" -> I'm not sure if it matters what letter you chose, I was told to choose a letter such as "M" or lower.
Hope this works for you all...I know how frustrating it is to not have the iPod work!

Problem with ipod nano updater

Hi.
I have the other problem with my ipod nano. I reset my software ipod nano, but ipod updater 2006-01-10 write:"iPod Updater 2006-01-10 cannot continue because there are other applications using iPod. Please close all iPod applications andtry again.". But I don´t using other applications, iTunes is closed. I try my iPod update on other computer, but text is same. Can you help me please?
iPod is correct only as external disk. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm on a Mac so things may not work the same. Have you tried restarting your computer? If you do that maybe nothing will be using it at first.
I hope someone who knows Windows will come to help you.
Regards,
Colin R.

Connecting iPod Nano to iTunes 7.02 causes crash on Windoes XP Pro

When ever I connect my iPod Nano (4th gen, 2GB) via my USB 1.1 connection to iTunes 7.02 it tries to update my contacts from Microsoft Outlook 2003 and then crashes. I can supply screen shots of the errors generated but I can't figure out how to attach the .jpg files to this message.

I am new user to this site so apologize if I am a bit "lo-tech".
MY PC is a 4 year old Dell 4550 desktop with 256 MB of RAM. I run Norton Internet Security 2005 and Webroot SpySweeper and XP Pro firewall turned off.
I have an older IPod 20 GB and currently use a version of Itunes 4. I have never upgraded to any other version of ITunes even though I began reeceiving prompts asking me if I wanted to upgrade about 8 months ago when plugging in my IPod or launching Itunes.
I have also just in the last 2 days upgraded to MSoft IE 7. My Itunes is now behaving strange and will lock up after sometimes only importing 1 CD. I have to use CTRLALTDEL to shut it down and reboot to get the system to start functioning again. I have considered upgrading to Itunes 7.0 but after reading all the horror stories I am very leery of this.
I have never reset or restored my IPod, nor have I ever uninstalled/reinstalled the original version that came with Ipod.
I would welcome any advice from the many experts I have noticed are using these forums......:( help pls!!

IPOD Nano V6 shuts off without cause after 20-50 seconds. How do I fix this.

Recently received a new V6 as a replacement for first generation. When running songs, it shuts off after 20-50 seconds if the ipod is not continually hand held. What gives. How do I fix this.

Make sure the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of your earbuds is flush with the Nano. You shouldn't see any of the silver from the plug still showing.

IPod Nano update to 6.0

Started to update to 6.0 and it blew away all my music on the PC - HELP

Please don't patronize me, the fact my Lawyer suggested I post here in the first place is not something I wanted to do.
If you're refering to the prompt after I updated my Nano, I answered Yes -- which I assume is what you mean by "put the songs back on it".

Ipod nano updater 1.2.6 *****

I have this running and it says my ipod is not connected. I know good and well that it is, b/c itunes sees it and i can disconnect and reconnect it at whim. Any ideas on what to do or how to get it to recognize it? I have changed usb ports already and that did not help at all.

And if the only problem is u just wanting to put contacts on the ipod then do this:there are 2 ways of adding contacts.first add the contacts(create them) in either microsoft outlook or outlook express then either go to iTunes and click on the ipod tab at the bottom right go to contacts and click synchronize contacts from and pick either outlook express or microsoft outlook.the other way is to export them directly from outlook express or microsoft outlook and directly into the contacts folder in ur ipod

Corrupted 1st Generation Ipod Nano

One day I tried to put songs on my ipod and a message appeared. It said that my ipod was corrupted and needed restoring or just disconnecting and reconnecting it to the pc. I tried the disconnect and reconnect, nothing happened. So then i followed the steps to restore the ipod such as : Hold select and menu to reset, then select and play to put it into disc mode. I also reset my ipod back to factory settings. I then tried a restore but it didn't fix my ipod. It just stayed corrupted. I then tried uninstalling itunes and installing the newest version and got the latest ipod software updates but still it was corrupted. I also tried to reformat the ipod via windows but still nothing Can any of you help me please?

Have not tried yet myself, but have a read, do it carefully

Nano update caused failure

While updating my nano with 2006-03-23 about 9:30am, the nano was wiped clean and now is not recognized by windows xp or i-tunes. Before the update, the nano worked fine. Now the update won't even recognize the nano.
Using the support network, I have tried everything - and I mean everything recommended. Nothing will recognize the nano. i-tunes works fine - the nano has no recognition or information exchange. This has been most frustrating.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you had a look at this article?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=460669&tstart=105
It discusses a lot of issues about the 2006-03-23 update on the Nano.
I had the issue after updating, and was able to resolve it with the following instructions:
