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

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

What OS? USB 2.0?

XP sp2 , usb 2.0


basically i get the error when I attempt to run the ipod software updater.

When I run itunes it says it cannot find the necesarry software for my ipod device

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

Throw in the gratuitous reboot before reinstallation.

I'll take credit. In other words, it has nothing do w/ with the iPod service.

There's your problem. No problems on MacOS X and Firewire.
