Nano + Vista

Does not Ipod Nano 4Gb and Itunes works yet width Windows Vista?
Runs Vista Home prem and my computer dont finds any drivers for the ipod when i connect it, have the latest Itunes and firmware in the ipod.
/p

iPod+iTunes and Windows Vista still are not fully compatible together, although the two latest versions of iTunes (7.1.0.59 and 7.1.1.5) addressed some of the issues.
This article might be of some help:
iTunes and Windows Vista
Also, see this about USB drivers (I'm really not sure if the instructions apply to Windows Vista, though):

Nano, Vista & iPod USB drivers

Before I install iTunes Vista recognizes my iPod, it shows up in My Computer and I can use it as a storage device. In Device Manager it shows up under disk drives as an iPod and under USB controllers as a mass storage device. After I install iTunes it loads new drivers, or it tries to. It installs a new iPod USB driver & then it tries to install iPod drivers and never finds them. It tells me the device drivers were not found & I can't use the device until they are loaded. Now the iPod won't even show up in My Computer. When I check Device Manager there is an entry for the iPod with an exclamation mark beside it & under USB controllers it is now listed as an iPod USB device. When I uninstall iTunes it still won't recognize the device properly but if I do a system restore, back to before I loaded iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in it goes back to recognizing it in My Computer as an iPod storage device and under Device Manager it checks out OK. I think the problem is with the new USB device drivers iTunes installs. When installed iTunes will start up no problem, it's just when I plug in the iPod it loads the problem drivers & I have to do a system restore to get my iPod back again. Please help, I've had to do a system restore 5 times now & it still won't work. I can either have an iPod loaded or iTunes load, just not both at the same time. I'm very familiar with computers & software but this is driving me crazy
BTW, my iPod is a new 3rd generation 8-GB Nano

I had a similar problem under XP Pro SP2. If you have a 3rd party USB2.0 enhanced driver for your USB port, you could try replacing it with the Vista generic enhanced driver. Once you've replace the USB 2.0 driver, verify that your Nano is still showing up as a mass storage device, and then try installing iTunes again.
I was using the Adaptec driver, which always gave a blue screen error when I connected my Nano after installing iTunes. After restoring a backup, I changed the USB driver and my Nano showed back up as a mass storage device. Then, after installing iTunes, everything was fine.
Hope this helps!

Problem synching calendar to 5gen iPod nano (Vista Home Premium SP2)

My iPod 5gen nano will not sync my Outlook 2010 calendar, and thus my To Do Lists, which I use for college. I am using iTunes 10.1.0.54 on Vista SP2, I get error messages on some occasions, (one stating something about logging in or out of Windows?) and crashes on others. I really need my calendar to sync.

You posted to the wrong area of discussions. This is the 5th Generation iPod group (the video full sized iPods that were released previous to the "Classic" models). If you are asking a Nano question, you want to post to this area...

4Gb Nano - Vista JPE install iTunes 7.4.3.1 - USB driver not found

Help! I've tried all the re-installs and re-boots. I have a fully updated Vista HPE running on an AMD6200 with 2Gb memory. iTunes installs but the USB driver fails to install when the iPod is connected to the USB - the install program searches has search my hard disks and cannot find a driver when it searches the web. Anyone got any ideas on how the fix this?

Since making the post yesterday the fix was reasonably straight forward. See discussion 'windows vista wont install ipod drivers' posted by Nigel Savage Sep 19, 2007 7:20AM and reply by Brian.
Solution involves putting copies of latest version of usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf from C:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\'look for newest version of folder that start usbstor' into C:\windows\inf folder. Then re-install driver for iPod via control panel - administrative tools - computer management - system tools - device manager. With the ipod connected via the usb look for the icons with a yellow flash - it should now install ... it did for me!

Windows vista 64 bit and ipod nano

Hi, we are having problems getting our 3 new ipod nano generation 5 to work on our windows vista computer. Itunes won't recognize them have tried to uninstall itunes but get a message to verify we have sufficient access to that key, or contact support personnel, and then we click ok and it stops the uninstall does anyone know how to correct this problem or what we need to do to get the ipods to work on itunes with windows vista 64bit computer? I saw an answer for a 32bit computer but read that it is different for a 64bit computer. Thanks!

I, too, am having the same problems. Very frustrating to have a nano 4 generation that needs only the latest iTunes software but a computer that requires 64 bit software.
If you get an answer, let me know. I even paid to have music loaded on my nano ipod yesterday and because it was attached to my computer, when I booted up, it somehow went to checkdisk mode and cleaned all the music out! Am ready to throw it out and get a non-Mac ipod instead. But if you have THE answer, I'd really like to hear about it. Thanks.

I would just hurry and get a new cable, but start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Windows Vista Ipod Nano drivers??

When I connect my iPod nano 4gb to my new laptop, with iTunes 7 installed, it tells me it needs to install drivers and insert CD...but I dont have the CD!
Can anyone give me a link for these drivers at all, or give me adivice on how to get around this?
I've previously read a suggestion to manually search for drivers by specifying 2 distinct folders - System32 I think, and also going through Control Panel, Devices, Ipod, then selecting different options for updating drivers.
Nothing works yet!!!
Please help guys

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183

Windows Vista iPod Nano Issues

I just bought an iPod Nano 8GB today and when I tried to connect it to my Windows Vista System after installing iTunes, I get an "Add new Hardware" wizard asking me to install the driver for the iPod which obviously doesn't work.
Of course, I've tried the 5Rs several times and none of them work. Asking here is my last resort.
I know there are currently issues with Vista but clearly this isn't one of those listed under the article on the site. So I was wondering if this is only specific to my PC.
Thanks in advance to whoever who can help.

try what I posted here and report back

Ipod nano 4gb and ipod video 80g with windows vista

hello! i've been trying (rather unsuccessfully) to sync the ipod nano to my laptop which has windows vista OS. i have the latest itunes 7.2 (just updated today from 7.1) and i always get the "found new hardware" pop-up everytime i plug the ipod nano via usb port. i also did the 5r's, but still the computer cannot and will not detect any software. i even downloaded the softwareupdater28-06-2006.exe but it will not run because it's superseded by itunes 7. my friend has an ipod video 80gb and i tried connecting it too, same thing popped up. both ipods do not show in "my computer" so i cannot even backup my songs! ah well. i just need to get the driver for the ipod i suppose. please help, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

i have been having the same problem. My laptop was upgrade to windows vista and worked perfectly fine with my ipod and with others which had previously been used with the computer when it was running XP. My IPOD unfortunately crashed and need to be replaced. I brought it back to the laptop and connected it. it was not recognised but the others still are!
I have been looking on the internet and you are the only other i can find who is suffering this problem. i have looked in device manager and the new ipod is recognised as a 'other device', whereas the ipod that still works is classed as a 'portable device'. i have looked at the drivers and tried to install them by copying the drivers on the original ipod, but have not succeded. Since updating itunes to 7.2 i have been getting a 'do not disconnect' message on the ipod but it still does not appear in the sources list in itunes.
I have tried everything and am about to give up please HELP!
Someone somewhere must know a way around this........ as the London apple store "has never heard of this problem"

Ipod nano running with Vista

Anyone heard of Ipod/itunes crashing Vista. Have upgraded to Vista, running Raid 1 (mirror 2 HDs). Each time we plug in our brand new nano and try and do the updates, etc. it has crashed one hard drive. Not sure if the HD itself is bad or if it just broke the Raid. Let me know what a solution could be. Now scared to plug the nano back in for fear of this happening again.

I've got a RAID 0 configuration, and have suffered data loss whenever I connect my ipod.
Let's hope Apple find a solution soon. It's shocking that they dont report this as a known issue.

IPod nano installation problems with Windows Vista

I purchased an iPod nano today and have not been able to install iTunes. There are instructions for Windows XP but not much help for Vista. As of right now I am very unhappy with my purchase and if I can't get help soon I am going to return it. I have heard so many good things about iPods but I haven't had any good experiences yet. Please help!!

I, too, just bought my first ipod and have Windows Vista. I purchased songs through iTunes and tried to drag them to my ipod icon, but it said that I was not authorized on this computer! I called tech support for HP and they said it's a compatibility issue and to contact Apple about it to fix it. Before I do so, I am checking here first, just hoping there would be a really easy fix for this problem. I'm regretting getting Windows Vista now for many reasons, this being the latest. Any advice?

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

"Device Cannot Start - Code 10" - Windows Vista Error, w/ 2nd Gen. Nano

I'm having trouble with my Nano and Windows Vista. The computer is recognizing the iPod just fine and seeing all of my songs, but nothing will play and the diamond bar does not move. I can't hear previews online either.
Under device manager, a yellow "!" shows up for the iPod, and it says "Device Cannot Start - Code 10" when I check. All of my drivers and updates are current as of today. So is iTunes. Any thoughts?
It worked before, but now it's not.

This is a reasonably common error on a PC when there is a problem with either a USB device, your USB cables or hardware, or the system drivers.
In a case where, as you say, the device works properly with other computers, the problem is more likely to be with the hardware or drivers on the computer you're trying to connect to.
See this site for some hints:
http://www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml
I found it via a web search; I don't have any connection to that site.
The good news is that your iPhone is probably fine.

IPod Nano 3G lo longer recognized after Update to iTunes 9 on Vista 32 Ulti

So i updatedt to iTunes 9 yesterday - only to find out that my iPod 3G is no longer recognized by iTunes. Also my 2G are not recognized any longer on this machine
ALL three iPods still work fine with my other computer whicgh is running the same Windows version but has still iTunes 8 installed.
With the IPod service disabled the iPods appear properly as a device - they show their assigned name and you can browse the content.
When the service is enabled and you start iTunes iTunes displays a message that says that it "discoveerd" the iPod but could not identify it
see heer http://0711.diy-punk.net/WOW/ipodfu.jpg
also as soon as iTunes gets involved the device is no longerreadable under Windows
i tried multiple reboots, restart of iPod service, rebooted the iPod, resetted the iPod - nothing helps...

Yeah... I hope apple solves this problem soon. =\
I use Windows XP instead of Vista...
This happened to me:
I plugged my iPod
Oppened the iTunes, iTunes recognized the iPod with all the songs, album covers, playlists, etc.
It asked for update. (Download & Instal, ok)
Finished the update, oppened the iTunes 9.0. Added a new songs but then I realized it didn't recognize the iPod (wich was plugged.)
I checked on "My computer" and I saw "iPod". Ok.
When I ejected the iPod it was clean. No musics, no Videos, no playlists. Started on the screen "Select your language".
I Tried reinstaling the iTunes but whenever I got an older version it said something like "The iTunes can't be started because the iTunes library has been generated by a new version."
Restarted my PC several times.
Rebooted the iPod.
Tried switching USBs.
NOTHING works.
Nothing at all.
even tryed the manage thing on "My Computer".
If they don't find a way of fixing this bug my iPod Nano is not better than a f**kin' Pendrive... ~.~"
Hope apple do something...
