I just updated my i-tunes and was afraid of the same thing. It updated beautifully and all my music was saved just like before. Go for it and enjoy!

Here are two links that will help\n\nhttp://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/ontherun/archives/how-to-copy-music-from-your-ipod-to-your-itunes-library-5615\n\nhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173\n\nApple doesn't like you to share music with others, so they make it a pain in your a-- to transfer the muscic.

I think your Ipod's harddrive may be corrupt. You're going to have to call Apple and have them service it for you. If it's under warranty, they'll do it for free. They might even just give you a brand new Ipod.

The iPod might be bad... or the USB port is faulty. The computer doesn't need any software to "see" the iPod when it is connected as the iPod is usually seen as an external harddrive. So the problem is most likely hardware related. Faulty cable, iPod or USB port.

first you download your songs and convert them to mp3 format(I think wav or wma is okay too but not sure), then you connect your nano usb wire, and then go to the ipod section in your itune software, it will automatically put your songs to your nano but first you have to put all your songs in the library section. Good luck and enjoy your music, hope you would give me 10 points for this, thanks alot! \nBy the way I have a nano too, I think it's the best size and very stylish.

Ure ipod charges cos the usb cable has power directly given off without any software required.\n\nYou have to install the USB driver for the iPod ( CD should be supplied with it) and make sure it gets detected by the operating system and then restart the pc and it should appear in the prefernces section of itunes.

I think you should try again to reset it. Look here - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705\nWhen I had to do that (the 2nd time I switched my iPod nano ON!!!) it took about 10 or 11 tries before it worked!! I think it's because the buttons are so close together, and my fingers were pressing more than one place.\n\nAs for the customer service number, that would depend on where you are on the planet.

Next time you dock your ipod, after itunes comes up, double click the icon for your ipod and drag the selected songs into your library.  That is if it's not already doing it automatically which it will under default installation settings.\n\nEdit: What Bacon is refering to are the copy protections, their meant to keep friends from giving away music that they've only purchased a personal liscense for.  If it's your ipod and your copy of itunes it shouldn't be an issue.  If it's not you can still go to windows properties and select "show hidden files" whereupon you can search through your ipod and copy the hidden sound files (individual songs are split into multiple files to make this a pain in the ass but it can be done.).\n\nHope that helps,\n\nArmus

Plug your pod in, get ITunes, and it will automatically detect it.  The rest is easy.  Purchase music, or drag music that you already have into ITunes, and then simply drag the songs onto your IPod.  When it tells you OK to disconnect, unplug, and listen!!
