New Ipod nano not working with my Windows 2000

I have just bought an ipod nano 8GB, and tried to install it. The latest itunes I can put on my computer is 7.3.2 as it is a Windows 2000 not an XP. Unfortunately the nano is saying it needs 7.4 and above. can anyone help please?

I wish you would have asked or checked on the tech specifications for the Nano prior to purchase. These are the required tech specs, copied directly from the Nano page. I'm sorry there's nothing you can do.
# PC with USB 2.0 port
# Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
# iTunes 7.6 or later

I have tried everything to get my new ipod nano to work with Windows 8. Do I need to install new drivers or what?

Got a ipod nano for Christmas. Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8. Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano. Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer. However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it. I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded. I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what. Can you help me? Thank you

So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system? Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

New iPod nano not working on iTunes

Hi people. Total newbi so bear with me!
I have an iPod Mini 4gb which i used with iTunes, everything worked fine. For my birthday I bought a new iPod nano. I tried clicking in the new nano but the computer wouldnt find it.
I then tried to download the latest version of iTunes but i keep getting the same message
"ERROR 1921 SERVICE IPOD SERVICE COULD NOT BE STOPPED. VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES TO STOP SYSTEM SERVICES"
I deleted the old iTunes and tried to start afresh but I get the same error.
Is it possible to run my old iPod mini and the new iPod nano and the same iTunes and does anybody know how to get around this error message??!?
Thanks for reading!

IPod nano not fully functional on Windows 2000 (Charging)

1st: I love iTunes and my previous iPod mini. My mini functioned perfectly from day one with my exact same desktop setup (Windows 2000, Dell, USB 2.0, etc).
I've spent hours trying to figure out why my nano wouldn't charge. Finally, I found these forums and read that "Windows 2000 has a bug". I say this is utter nonsense. I had a mini for months on the exact same computer/OS and it charged just fine thank you.
The only way that I can charge my nano (hopefully it will work, the indicator is essentially useless on win2k) is to enable disk mode and watch the flashing "Do Not Disconnect..." symbol across most of the screen, with a tiny, non-animated battery+lightning bolt icon in the corner. Is it charged? I don't know. Is it actually charging? I don't know. Will I know when it's 80% charged - as per the advertising specs for a fast-charge? Nope - will just have to guess.
What about listening to my nano while it's docked/connected? Nope - can't do that on Windows 2000. Can I try any of the features, games, or hear how a song sounds while docked? Nope.
Apple: With iTunes and the mini, you had a full Mac convert waiting for my next computer purchase to get an iBook. Now, I'm not soo sure. Windows 2000 is on tons of computers - I would guess a pretty large proportion of your iPod customer base even compared with OSX. If you can't fix this bug, and I know you can given that the mini functioned perfectly, I will demand a full refund and unhappily go get a refub mini (now that I sold mine the day I went out to get a nano).

I'm in the same boat as Noah (Win2K, charging problems, etc.). And the moment I unmount my nano (using either of the methods you mention above), it stops charging. At least I assume it is actually charging while mounted, because I have the lightning bolt but no way to see how much of a charge unless I unmount it. But I can't listen to music while I have it plugged in, and that is sure a disappointment. Apple people, please fix!
As a little aside, I don't seem to be able to choose whether or not to "enable disk use". The box is already checked and grayed-out so I don't have the option to un-check it. Could this be another Win2K weirdness?

New iPod Touch not working with G3 iMac

I got a new iPod Touch (4 gig) for Christmas. Tried plugging it into my iMac Power PC G3, and I get an error message. ( error OxE000001). Is my iMac too old to work with the iPod touch?
Also as a second issue, I have a wireless network, but I don't have it broadcasting it's name for security. When I turn on my lap top, if it doesn't automatically find the wifi network, I just type in the network name, and it pops up.
Any way to do this with the iPod Touch? (Type in the network name, even though it's not broadcast)
I'll also list this question on the WIFI section.

Ken;
I AM running with iTunes 9.0.2. in my slot loading G3 iMac. There is no special Hack.
You tried to help me earlier, when my G3 just would not work after I upgraded Safari and iTunes. I ended going to the Genius bar, where they worked on it for hours to get it going again. They installed earlier versions of both programs.
I was going to keep it that way, until I was given an iTouch for Christmas. The iMac just did not see it. I was resigned to updating my iTouch through my son's iBook.
In a question I had about upgrading my wireless network, John Galt said his 500mhz G3 worked OK with the iTouch. Over two weeks I slowly installed what he had, (or close to it) I think Safari has a G3 version, that I may have missed when you were helping me.
The last thing I upgraded was iTunes 9.0.2. After three or four tries, and plugging in the iTouch USB cable directly into the iMac, the iTouch was recognized! It seems to work fine over the past week or so.
Some odd things I have to live with. When I plug in the iTouch, iPhoto will start and ask about downloading pictures from the iTouch. I have to manually start iTunes if it is not already on. It does not automatically start like it does with my iPod nano.
Also I did not realize how slow this machine is, I thought down loading a CD through a La Cie DVD/CD player at 1.3x speed was fast. My son's iBook downloads a CD a 9 x speed! Oh well... slow but steady.....

NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

Hi Guys,
I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi VS,
What "reading device" are you using?
As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.
The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
How long was it "stuck?"
I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

Ipod nano not working with my Ipod / Itunes setup

I have just bought a 30 GB Ipod and set this up on my Dell Windows XP computer. This works fine and I have been able to synchronise the majority of my music with it.
At the same time, however, I bought my daughter a 2 gb nano. This I cannot get to work on the same computer, even though it recognises it as a different source. It won't let me set up a specific playlist for the nano, or manually add music files.
Is there some restriction on using 2 ipods together on one machine that I should be aware of?

You can use two or more iPods on one computer. There are a couple of methods. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library.

Will my iPod nano 7 work with Microsoft windows xp 2002?

Anybody know?

Unplug the iPod and try and different USB port. If it's a desktop then try a USB on the back of the computer. If that don't work restart the PC and try a different USB. You also might check and see if your iTunes software is up to date.
Let me know what happens

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:

Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cannot get my new Ipod Nano to pair with my bluetooth Headphones. It just searches endlessly. These same headphones work with my blackberry playbook. Does Apple only allow certain bluetooth devices to pair? i.e. only the ones sold on their site?

I cannot get my new Ipod Nano to pair with my bluetooth Headphones. It searches without finding it. This headset works fine with my blackberry playbook. Any suggestions?

thanks for reply... I saw on the Nano package that it is only compatible with bluetooth 4v. Is that the same as A2DP.
That's probably the problem... it wasn't a high-end headset.
