Please help me with Ipod Nano

Hi There
Just got a new ipod nano for Christmas want to set up on my lap top but I don't know where to plug it in to get the set up assistant. I have a packard bell lap top and the only place that you seem to be able to plug it in is the USB port but it says not to do that in the instructions. When you do plug it in there it just comes up with ipod folder in the e drive and nothing happens on the Ipod. Please help how do I get up the set up assistant???
Thanks

Please help - problems with iPod Nano

I saw a page in my Popular Science magazine and it had iPod Linux. So I went to the website installed it, and it worked!!! But the problem is , is that when I plug it in to my computer, it charges but won't show up as a drive. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even within the iPod Linux Project the Fifth Generation iPod and the Nano are unsupported hardware so you are pretty much on you own, however check these links out:

Try this Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond
If that doesn't work then there is this Restoring iPod to factory settings
Failing that you may want to work your way through the iTunes 101: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

Please help! My ipod nano 1GB is doing wierd things!!!

I just got it less than a week ago so I am really new at this. My ipod was fine all day until this afternoon when I was listening to a song, then I noticed that it had stopped playing music so I looked at the screen and it showed the ipod skipping songs on its own. My ipod has a full battery and isn't on suffle. Every time I go to my list of songs and select a song the ipod starts going through the songs and will not stop until I press pause. If I press play again it then goes back to skipping songs until it has finished the list, then it goes back to the main menu. Please help me! I don't know what my ipod nano is doing!!!

hello guys,
i have a very strange problem here:
i installed fresh copy of win xp pro. and i installed itunes the latest version downloaded from apple.com. and i uploaded some songs on my ipod. worked fine and fine. now after a week or so, when i try to upload few more songs, i open itunes and it doesnt open now. this the same problem i used to have before, and i thought that its my computer, so i bought this brand new computer only for itunes, and still its the same thing. now in order to fix this, i gotta unistall itunes and reinstall it. so it would work fine but only for that moment. once i close that itunes win, and lets say the next day, i re-open it, it wont. so i gotta do the same thing again, uninstall and reinstall. so i dont know what could be wrong. while installing itunes, i didnt even change any setting, i kept all that are defaults. but didnt help. i dont know what to do now. i am really tired of this. PLEASE HELP ME.

There is an article on troubleshooting iTunes launch failures here:

Before enbarking on it, it is a well to see if Quicktime will launch and play normally. iTunes can't work if Quicktime doesn't.

Please help me with my Nano P

I recently purchased a Zen Nano Plus and am having difficulty getting my laptop to recognize it. When I connect it via the USB it takes an ungodly long time for it to appear in my Windows Explorer (although I get notification in the lower right of my screen that it's connected).After say 30 minutes of waiting, it finally appears but I can't transfer music or anything. I was finally able to get the firmware update (which I saved to the desktop) to connect with it. Then I got some sort of error message in the process, but it did appear as if the firmware was updated. Last thing I did was reboot and try to connect it again. Nothing appears on the little display panel, I cant even turn it on now and it's not being recognized by my IBM Thinkpad at all. I'm using a USB hub, but I even tried connecting to a USB card and no success at all. I just purchased a Vision:M at few weeks ago and had no problems whatsoever. I initially installed both softwares on the same dri've but put the Nano plus onto another hard dri've in case there was a conflict. But the only conflict I'm having is w/ the Nano plus.

Looks like there are a lot of us experiencing this kind of trouble with the Nano Plus. I've noticed that when I uninstall the USB 2.0 drivers for my motherboard (Intel 865PE chipset), the Nano Plus works perfectly (although painstakingly slower because it reverts back to USB .). Install it, and the problem occurs. I read somewhere in the knowledge base that certain chipsets from VIA, ALI, Intel and Nvidia have problems working with the Nano Plus. Whether it's the fault of the Nano Plus or the chpset, Creative isn't sure (but that's too many chipset makes against one device... makes it kinda obvious, doesn't it's) Looks like this thing will give you a good time only if you have the right PC for it. Otherwise, might as well get another player.

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.

OK I have iPod mini 4GB and I have the latest iTunes installed 7.02 or something I don't know anymore.
Anyway a sad iPod icon displayed on my screen a few days ago and I managed to restart it and to put it in a disk mode and then iTunes finally recognized iPod and I clicked on Restore and then Restore and Updated and after a few seconds during the restore process it says:
An iPod 'iPod' couldn't be resoterd. An unknown error occurred (1418).
I am desperate and i don't know what to do.
I read almost everything about this but nothing helped.
Please help me with any kind of solution...

I did a Support Search for that error number and this is what I got. I hope one of these links helps:

Games compatible with ipod nano (gen 4)?

Where are the games in the iTunes store that are compatible with ipod nano (gen 4 ...the tall skinny one without the camera)? Or have they been replaced/ deleted? 'Cause I tried finding them, and they're nowhere to be found; I know they used to have a bunch of 'em- I still have the old Monopoly version that works with my iPod nano 4th gen. But even that seems to have disappeared from the store. Does anyone know if it is still possible to find games compatible with older iPods, or has Appple tried to make the older models obsolete by no longer offering apps for them?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated, thank you.

i have tried looking for them as well they take the games off to make room for new modles. that is the only down side of having a nano that is why is want the ipod touch. and do not go in websites you will mess up your computer i have the same ipod and computer as you trust me don't bother looking you are just wasting your time.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still does not connect to any network that indicates a hardware problem.
If you only can't connect to your network that indicates a problem with your network.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
