My nano cannot be formatted and says restore with iTunes - doesn't work

Hi,
I have a number of problems with the new nano.
It worked fine until I updated it (which I never did in the beginning). I formatted it like suggested here with the HP USB... and is was perfectly fine. I reset it like suggested, but when I plugged it in again to load the music from iTunes, it didn't show up.
The ipod showed in my computer so I formatted it there again as also suggested here, but it couldn't finish formatting and since then all I get is a screen that says 'restore ipod in itunes' in four languages.
Unfortunately I can't see it in itunes so I can't restore it, I can't show it in My computer, because it says that the device is not formatted.
I re-installed all the software a couple of times, but nothing works. The updated cannot see the ipod or says: this ipod is not covered by this software...
I am absolutly desperate, especially as I sit here in Germany, but the ipod was purchased in the US, so no way of bringing it back to the store quickly.
Any advice someone?
It is highly appreciated...

Here are the instructions when your iPod shows up in windows, but not in iTunes.

  • Just bought a dell pc with windows 8. on my old pc (vista) i would right click a movie (in itunes format) and say open with itunes and it would play. Now it won't open in itunes and it just CRASHES. HELP PLEASE. is there a glitch with win 8???

    okay not sure how this works so here i go again.
    Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.

    Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit.  Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off.  For about  $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics.  As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
    I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation.  I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

  • Enabling VoiceOver after restoring your iPhone with iTunes doesn't work

    Yesterday, I was having a problem with my iPhone 3GS and successfully got it resolved by restoring it with iTunes 10.2. Everything went fine. However, after restoring it, I went to set up the device as new (after backing up the iPhone before restoring of course). Since I am blind, I then went and attempted to select VoiceOver under the "configure universal access" section. This is where I ran into the problem. When I selected Voiceover and then hit the ok button, I got a message that said something like "VoiceOver changes the way you use the iPhone jestures. Do you want to continue." I hit continue , and then tabbed to the ok button again. At this point I was brought right back to the dialog box about continuing and realized after several attempts to get out of that screen that I was flat out stuck. Because of the fact that I am totally blind, and not say "legally blind" there was no way I was going to be able to enable VoiceOver on my own. I ended up having to disconnect the iPhone from the computer and have one of my roommates enable voiceover on the iPhone for me. But I keep wondering what happened. I mean it was scary for me, because what if my roommate hadn't been around. I would've had a non functioning iPhone (to me.) Has anyone else had this problem, or would there be anyone who'd be willing to follow the steps that I did (preferably if you have sight) to see if you can get past this screen? If not, then this is a major iTunes bug that Apple needs to know about. Note that I am using a Windows desktop with Vista 32 bit operating system, and JAWS for Windows, (running the latest update of version 12.) Any help/comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Josh

    Next time before you sync always do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    Right now you may have to reinstall your apps before you do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

  • My Iphone 5 has gone blank, I can not see anything. Restore with itunes has not worked either. Can someone please help?

    Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
    I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
    Thanks,
    Srini

  • Synchronization of tasks and interaction logs with Outlook doesn't work

    Dear SAP Experts,
    I'm workink on CRM 7.0 (release 7.7.06.010).
    We are trying to make the synchronization of activities, contacts and tasks from our CRM system to Microsoft Outlook.
    It's working fine for the contacts and for the Apointment BP visit (transaction type Y020).
    But no synchronization made for others activities (interaction log Y007 and telephone calls PCAL) or BP Tasks (Y030) we created in the system.
    We just applied today SAP Note 1415263 and Groupware Integration 3.057.
    I made the settings in the CRM Calendar tab in Outlook (with synchronization from CRM to Outlook), and checked apointment, contacts and tasks.
    In customizing (CRM > Transactions > Basic settings > Define transaction types), I flagged for the following transaction types the little 'Calendar' box: Y020, Y030, Y007 and PCAL.
    In another entry (CRM > CRM Middleware and related components > Settings for client-based synchronization), I indicated the transaction type Y020 for DEFAULT_APPT_PROC_TYPE and Y030 for DEFAULT_TASK_PROC_TYPE.
    Any idea about what is missing or not already done?
    Any help will be apppreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Kind regards,
    Grégory KREMSER

    We don't have a CAS array set up.  We want the fail over to be fully manual and only fail over to another server when mb1 is in a completely failed state and won't be back up and running withing a set time frame.  We can get everything working
    on MB3 and only Outlook doesn't work when everything is on MB2.  Outlook also doesn't work if databases are on another server and DNS is pointing Outlook to MB2 (again MB3 works fine).

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

  • TV Shows and Music purchased through iTunes doesn't work on my iPhone

    When I play some of the music and tv shows purchased through iTunes on my iPhone, it would play for around 30 seconds for music and anywhere from 5-20 min for the shows, and then either go to the next song, or stop playing the video for no reason.
    It seems to be a specific spot which "crashes" the song, because say the song or video stops at 2:31, I can seek to "2:33", and the song/video would play normally, and not crash.
    What's the reason for this?

    Contact Apple and report a problem via your *purchase history*. Either from the iTunes store, or the email receipt they send.
    Also you might have more luck in the iPhone forums:

  • I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

    I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    I solved my own problem. Hopefully this will help someone else.
    I did a DFU restore, then started it up as a new phone on iTunes. Everything loaded properly, then from iTunes did a restore from backup, selected the one I wanted and it still took me to the same screen with 3 options of restore. I chose the start up as new phone from the actual phone and after all the syncing was completed, my phone is back in working order.

  • HT1212 my phone is disabled and says connect to iTunes but i want to recover and save all my data's and pictures before restore

    my phone is disabled and says connect to itunes but i want to recover my data's and pictures before restoring it with itunes.

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you haven't synced it to that computer before then you won't have a backup on it to restore your content from. Do you have any of your content on it for re-sycning and/or have you been backing up to the cloud ?
    You can re-download your apps (if they are still in the store) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, and you may be able to re-download music, films and tv shows via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
