first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!

Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!

You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

What is the issue with windows 8 and getting my ipod Nano to sync?

Why am I having difficulty getting my ipod nano 5th gen to sync new songs from my windows 8 laptop?

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Importing prev windows itunes to new mac/ipod nano? advice please?

Hi all,
sorry the subject line isnt to clear!
Basically the story is this. My partner got an ipod nano for christmas. It only worked about a week on my windows pc then failed. She got a replacement,that did the same,she then got a third one and it has not been used or plugged into a windows pc. She was very disappointed. Having said this she was also thinking about a laptop and was impressed by the ibook G4. As John Lewis were running a 10% off day and giving 2 years warranty she decided it was a no brainer and bought one. So then, i have copied the music/itunes folder on the windows pc to a DVD-rw. How do i now import them into her current itunes installtion on the i book?
thanks
joe

Hello Joe,
That is an easy one. Just launch iTunes, Insert the DVD. When Finder opens the DVD, just drag all the folders/tracks/files from the DVD to the iTunes Library in the source list.
As long as you have set the Preferences in iTunes for Advanced->General->Importing to:
"Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" AND "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" all should be well.
iTunes will then add each dragged-and-dropped folder/file to it's library and copy them to the HD and sort them according to the ID3 tags in the files.

PC cant find ipod classic

I have a nano and an iphone4 which are both working perfectly but I just bought a 160GB classic which the PC just wont find. I plug it into any of the USB's and it says 'Connected' and 'Do not disconnect' but thats all it does.
I've tried just about all the troubleshooting "solutions" and as I write its in disc mode and connected but is still not found.
Please help before I go nuts!!!
Thanks

I have similar problem...
After trying reset iPOD reset computer, reload itunes and iPOD SW to new and older versions, the conclusion (also from iPOD official serice) is that you have to connect to MAC (hopefully it will recognise the iPOD), do the restore to MAC-OS, go back to windows PC, and then the iPOD will be recognised, and you can have the restore again.
I did not yet try it, and I am waiting for confirmation of this approach, but I am almost sure this is the only solution at least for me.
By the way, I plan to do it tomorrow in a "workcenter", or a cibercafe with MAC computers.

I am trying to use itunes, it will not open at all, have uninstalled and downloaded new software and 64bit for windows. i have an old ipod nano from about 5 years ago. anything i can do, even to view my purchases and watch/listen to music etc?

ok i have a advent roma laptop with window 7. my itunes used to work fine, completely. every time i plugged in my ipod it was ok. recently my ipod was not working so i never bothered with itunes, however i have movies/tv prog that i purchased and would like to view them. i have an ipod nano from about 5 years ago, the problem with thet is, it switches on, but the circular control panel does nothing, all you can do is lock and unlock it - nothing else.
i tried to download new version of itunes, then uninstalled my origonal version, incase it was corrupted etc, i then again tried to down load new version and also version that is windows 64bit. still when i select the downlaod to open as son as it is finnished nothing happens. and now my desktop shortcut has dissapeared. before when it was there, id double click it, nothing, right click to open it, nothing.
im not the best technically minded but i just dont see what im doing wrong here, please help

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.

MS Windows Professional 2000, SP3 and IPOD Nano drivers

I've just received my new iPOD nano and trying to instal software on my laptop I found that it requests SP4 that I couldn't install on my laptop due to policy requirements.
Could I download any previous release or what can I do?I have Administration rights, too so do you advise me to instal SP 4?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ciao Matz

Welcome to the forums.
Well, if your laptop is not yours, and your not supposed to install anything new on it, such as SP4, then I wouldn't advise you to break the rules.
If you have Admin rights, meaning you are allowed to do things, cause you are admin, then go ahead, cause the service packs are designed to make Windows run better. The service packs don't hurt, they help.
Hope this helps!

Windows system crash when connecting iPod Nano

The above is a new development. Have had my 2nd Gen iPod Nano for about 3 months with no hitches. Now, however, my system freezes when connecting my iPod for update. The only new bit of software I have downloaded was virus free (according to Norton) and is now uninstalled, anyhow. Still, my machine does not give me the little "ping" of recognition when I connect my device -- instead, it freezes. Any takers?

Well, I forgot to de-authorize my machine when I was upgrading to Vista, and remembered only after I was done.
Now I have two computers authorized under my account (although they are the same machine).
Speaking of which, any idea how I ought to de-authorize the non-existant computer?
edit: the parent's not trying to reinstall windows, d'oh! but my question still stands.
