[JR]

um im not sure, just got it out of the packet tonite, its the new nano 4gb

 

[JR]

any one ?

You tried using the discs or books that came with it? Might be some help on there. I never had that problem with mine to be honest...

 

[JR]

didnt come with any disks, its the new nano only comes with headphones and a usb cable for syncing songs and charging it.

lol Justin, read the manual!

visit here:
www.apple.com/ipod/start

download that, install it, THEN plug in the ipod... Windows doesnt know what to do with it.

[JR]

[fUbAr]

lol, ive just gone to set up my ipod on my laptop which its never been installed on before... and the same message came up.

i just left it plugged in and it sorted itself out.

 

[JR]

any ideas then ? im lost here bud

 

[fUbAr]

so you installed that itunes from the link, set it up, then plugged in the ipod and got that message?

could be down to only having USB1, not sure if they're backwards compatible.

 

[JR]

mite look into one of these then

Windows system requirements

• PC with USB 2.0 port
• Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
• iTunes 7.4 or later5

-----------------------
Gonna be down to USB1 mate.

 

[JR]

so that pcmcia adapter card should solve to problem then ?

 

[fUbAr]

have you got Windows XP?

if so, service pack 2 installed? reason I ask is that USB2 support is only on service pack 2, doesnt come with windows XP as standard. I can send you a SP2 disc if needed

 

[JR]

xp yep. sp2 yep. lol

 

[Sarah]

the old ipods im sure wot work on a usb1 but very slow not sure if the new ones are the same.......maybe ur problem

 

[fUbAr]

so that pcmcia adapter card should solve to problem then ?

yup. looks like new ipods need USB 2.0 to work.

it may just be taking longer to recognise it with USB1... have you had it plugged in for a while?

 

[JR]

yeh, about 10 mins

if you buy a mac u get a free ipod.. do that, then you wont have any issues!!!
