I bought Vicky one of these odd contraptions for her birthday last year (iPod nano 4GB) & up to last Friday, no problems at all - even to the point of almost persuading me to get one for myself.
However - V downloaded the new software on Friday, since when, iTunes will not recognise/update her iPod... Knowing little or nothing about modern technology, can anyone here suggest a cause/remedy. Cheers Jim -------------

Same thing has happened to me a few times, but whenever it happens for me I just restart my computer and re-upload my files and it seems to work right again.
But then again, I never did download the new software. ------------- Beauty will save the world.

Jim
can't help with the iPod myself, as I conciously avoided buying one, but if you post this question on Yahoo Answers, then someone should be able to sort this out for you.
PS - happy to post the question for you if you don't have an account.

Have you tried restoring the settings? My was acting a bit funny, and that helped. You can also go to the Apple site, and got to iPod support.

Ah Jim, I had the same problem......... ok, what I had to do was to entirely reset the ipod to factory settings...... sounds scarier than it is, there were a LOT of details on the i-pod / apple website.
I re set the i-pod from then plugged it back into the i-tunes and it re loaded. I don't have a nano, so I am not exactly sure how to go about it, but I know I got all the help I needed from the website and although a pain in the butt it worked ok. Good Luck! |

Many thanks all of you - I shall pass this info on to 'she who must be obeyed and fed chocolate' - Vicky's the more techno-savvy of us, so no doubt she'll be able to decipher all this gubbins... 
...you know, things were much simpler with my old Sony cassette Walkman. -------------

I had no problem loading the new version on mine.
Glad to hear you got it straight.
I wish I would have held out for the 8gb, though.
