Nano 2generation won't work with my old ipod stuff

I work on Windows XP and have an older iPod (the big white one without color) and itunes. I got a 4gb nano 2generation yesterday. I downloaded itunes 7, plugged in my new ipod and ran into a huge wall of problems
My songs were all imported into the new itunes library, but I can't open itunes 7 unless i have my ipod plugged in while I turn my computer on (why?!), and it freezes as soon as I open it up (why?!), and I close itunes because it says that the program isn't responding. THEN....my whole computer shuts down.
If I were to go into my computer and un-install Itunes, would I lose all my music? That is the only solution I know of, but I'd hate to lose all my stuff?
Any ideas? I'm desperate!
4GB Nano 2nd generation   Windows XP  

My songs were all imported into the new itunes library, but I can't open itunes 7 unless i have my ipod plugged in while I turn my computer on (why?!),
are you getting an error message when you try to launch itunes without the ipod plugged in? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
THEN....my whole computer shuts down.
are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • IPod Nano 4G won't work with my car stereo

    So I bought a new stereo for my car and it has a built in controls for an iPod and a dedicated wire for my iPod to directly connect to the stereo. I placed this wire in the glove box. Now the stereo was installed fine, everything works except for my iPod Nano 4G. I can successfully plug my iPhone into the connector and I'll be able to use my stereo to control my iPhone while it is in the glove box but for some reason there is a read error when attempting to talk to my 4G nano and I don't know what to do... Very bothersome....

    called up crutchfield they said I would have to downgrade the software on my Nano to 1.0 and not the 1.0.2 that is currently installed, except I don't recall there being a software update that came out. Not to mention that I don't know where to get a hold of the 1.0.0 software....
    any help would be awesome

  • IPhone 5 won't work with 5th gen ipod charger

    I have an iphone 5 and my original charger that came with the phone is broken beyond repair, so I've borrowed a iPod 5th gen charger off a friend to use but my iPhone doesn't recognise it at all, why won't it work with my phone?

    Because the charger or the phone or the cable is not working correctly.

  • My new iPod won't work with iTunes 6 but...

    Is it safe to get iTunes 7 yet?
    Because I tried it before but it made the music dodgy.
    So I eventually got 6 back, but it won't work with my new iPod.
    Help?

    I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall

    OK I think the problem is probably related to the platform swap and you may need your account re-set. Only Adobe staff can do that.  You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
    2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. Have your serial number and previous case number available. The agent can directly troubleshoot your system if you agree to activate the Adobe Connect add-on.

  • Latest version of Safari won't work with my version of OS.

    I downloaded the latest version of Safari but it won't work with my version of OS (10.6.8). ***! It's pretty frustrating that my computer allowed me to download it without noticing it's not compatible--seems like a simple enough concept to check for that BEFORE effing someone up entirely.
    How do i revert back to the old version of Safari? I was using Chrome but it's become impossibly slow.
    Thanks!

  • Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
    Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
    i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
    btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

  • Casio Camera won't work with SL

    My Casio EXZ850 camera doesn’t work with Snow Leopard.
    Used it with Windows XP & then with Leopard just fine. When connect to USB ports not recognized by Mac. I checked System Profiler.app & under USB it is not listed. Casio Support is no help. They say it won’t work with anything above OS X 10.4 which is incorrect as I used it with 10.5 for over 1 year with no problems.

    I take it that you ahve the IP set to static, or have a MAC address DHCP reservation for the camera, network settings OK.
    WHat was the wireless authentication on the old router and what are you using on the new 4200?
    Is it possible the camera does not support the encryption used by the 4200, i.e. wpa2-personal?
    Have you tried WEP to see if the camera will work then? 

  • Airport assistant in 10.8 won't work with airport express

    I updated to OS 10.8 from 10.6 and now the airpot utility says that it sees my airport express (about 4 yrs old)  but
    "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station"  I tried an earlier version of airport utility but it won't work with system 10.8. Does anyone have a work around?

    Your Express is most likely over five years old.
    You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure an older Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
    This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for your original AirPort Express was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.
