so the Nano itself is giving problems, or the connection to computer? There's a way to reset the Nano that should solve this problem.

It is working fine (appearantly) and it the computer will recognize it (mounts as a drive)

The ipod service seems to be borked or something. That said, my 40GB was working fine:confused:

Basically all I've been able to find on this is that I might have to install itunes v. 4.9 :confused:

Uninstall iTunes & iPod software. Delete folders from Program Files. Reinstall from scratch.

Throw in the gratuitous reboot before reinstallation.

then it worked:confused:
I'll take credit. ;) In other words, it has nothing do w/ with the iPod service. :confused:
