Try disabling fast user switching:
Click Start, click Control Panel
Open up "User Accounts"
Click "Change the way users log on or off"
Remove the check mark from "enable fast user switching"
Click "apply"
Restart your computer
Log on to your user
Try to connect your iPod and launch iTunes
If this doesn't fix it, go through the steps in this article:

PC does not boot with Ipod Nano

My configuration:
Shuttle SK83G, Athlon64 3000, Windows XP Pro, Logitech DiNovo wireless desktop.
My problem:
If my Ipod Nano is connected the PC will not boot. The bios screen shows up and then nothing happens. I even can not access the bios. If I remove the ipod the PC will eventually start windows. But in absolute slow motion (I can see how the Windows startup screen fades in step by step).
If I connect my Nano after booting, everything is perfectly fine. Also with my Ipod Mini connected, the PC boots up without a problem.

it's not just a Nano problem, but a USB port problem
That's correct. USB is famous for this. Something in the BIOS (probably) is telling it to try and boot from the nano, but of course it can't find a valid OS there. And the solution is just what you suggested. Don't boot with the nano connected.

Purchased songs on new computer not synching with IPOD

My old computer crashed. I bought a new one and reinstalled my IPOD on to my new computer along with 2 other IPODS. I bought 2 songs that are in my purchased folder and will play but will not sync to my IPOD. I tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my computer. But no luck. FYG: All 3 IPODS are under different names on the same computer.. What am I doing wrong ? Thank you

I tried one of the other IPODS under a diffent acct and it says that 100 songs could not be synced because they could not be found but the songs are on the IPOD

New mac not syncing with my iphone

here's the deal....
i have an iphone 3g and i just got a new macbook bc my previous one died..i dont have access to any information on it....
im trying to sync my iphone with my new computer...my main concern is my contacts and my music....ive synced my contacts with no problem but syncing the music is giving me problems....
i connect my iphone and press the "sync" button on itunes but nothing happens....is there a way to merge my music from my iphone onto my new macbook???

You need a USB to USB computer transfer cable from the computer store, and Mac has a program by spotlighting "Transfer".
edit: As you said your old computer died, the computer store can attempt to recover the old files or if your an IT, you can do it.

New Macs not shipping with Snow Leopard?

I just bought 2 Mac Minis for media playback use; I ordered them on 9/9 and figured they'd come with Snow Leopard (the Apple Store has a "ships with Snow Leopard" banner at the upper right, even).
However, they both shipped with 10.5.6 installed, and a DVD in the box also with 10.5.6 - no sign of Snow Leopard.
Any ideas on what's the best way to get this remedied? Visit a store, or phone support? I just spent 10 minutes clicking around support.apple.com but it kept sending me in circles.

Ha
I called support -- they did help me out, but it went like this
Me: Hi, I just ordered 2 Mac Minis, they said they'd come with Snow Leopard but when they arrived they had only Leopard
Support: do you have the Mac on right now?
Me: No, not now, but I do have serial numbers and order number
Support: Oh. Because a couple people have complained about that, and I was able to help them click on the Apple menu and say About This Mac and see that the version number was 10.6.
Me: Er, no, I'm not that [must... resist... urge... to... say... "clueless"...] ... hasty. I'm quite positive that the preinstalled version, and the only DVD in the box, was 10.5.6.
Support: Oh. I'm sorry. Well, have you heard about our up-to-date program? [http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate>
Me: Yes, but I'm not interested in paying $20 for stuff that was supposed to come with what I already ordered.
Support: It's not $20, it's $9.95.
Me: Right. And I need two of them. Sorry I was off by 10 cents, but I'm not interested in paying anything at all for this, actually.
Support: OK, let me look into this.
... long pause
Support: OK, and you've checked the entire box, and the version number, and it's not 10.6.
Me: Yup, quite carefully, a number of times now.
and then some more pauses, confirmations that I did check the installed versions, and apologies for the slip up, and they're sending me the upgrade.
So, in general, helpful, though this whole thing has been an extra set of hassles I wasn't expecting... Fight Club had it right, "the things you own end up owning you".

My iPod's OFF/On switch is not working and I have checked over internet that this problem is very common with iPod Nano 6th generation, my iPod is now out of warranty period. What shall i do now?? Please Suggest!!

You can do an out-of-warranty replacement at an Apple Store for a fee, get a 3rd party site to repair it, sell it for parts, or get a new one.

Have a new computer. iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano only my iPod Touch. The Nano was used on the old computer.

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Which generation Nano and what software are you referring to? There are no downloadable apps on a Nano.

TS1702 app's will not install, message reads newer OS required or not compatible with ipod

I have just updated my old ipod touch and after restore failing I have had to setup as new ipod, but now can not intall all my apps. i have tried installing app from store and message reads app not compatible with ipod or newer OS required.

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
Also, to find compatilbe apps:

TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano does not show in the device menu

installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano does not show in the device menu

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
thanks so much

1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"
