Hello,
I had the same problem. My itunes and ipod updater didnt recognize my nano. So I was unable to restore it. Whenever I plugged the nano into the comp it would freeze for a minute or so. I reinstalled itunes and did everything on the apple service page.
I downloaded that HP restore thing and it worked liek a charm.
You guys rawk!
Thanks

Hey Guys,
I need help with this topic. Here's my deal....
Yesterday my ipod was showing up in My COmputer when connected but would not connect with itunes. Just tried to download http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/.../download/23893 as starchy said to do but I didn't see anything asking about reformating, apple ipod, etc. So now my computer doesn't recognize my ipod and when I disconnect my ipod is shows the folder with exclimation point and says to go to www.apple.com/support/ipod.
Can anyone help and tell me what to try next? I tried everything twice on apples web site yesterday to try and get ipod and itunes to communicate but nothing. I'm about to give up and throw this thing away but really don't want to. Help please.
:(

^^Thats exactly what happened to me. But I couldn't reformat b/c apple updater wasn't recognizeing my nano. I had the folder with the ! and everything.
I did the HP thing and then it worked.

I would say just to go ahead and try the HP thing and see what happens.

Hi guys,
Seems like I'm having a similar problem - new ipod nano, worked fine at first and now my PC doesn't recognise it. I've tried everything I can possibly think of including the two formatting utilities previously mentioned. However, even they don't work beacause they don't see the ipod. The only thing I can think of is that things went wrong after a Windows update. Is there a link.....

Does the Nano still function properly? Have you tried forcing it into disk mode?

The nano functions fine provided it's not connected to the PC. I couldn't force it into disk mode.

OK. I've made progress. I've been able to get the nano into disk mode and the PC now recognises it. I've used the usb_format.exe to format it. I've used iTunes 7 to update and restore it. However, iTunes is still not recognising it. I can see it in Disk Management and I can eject it via My Computer but that's about it. What am I missing....?

Well so it is not reconized by itunes....haha ive been working on my friends last night but i got side tracked by some starburts and some funny phone calls and music....but anyway you have to reformat it which you said you did , restore it with the newest updater from apple.com (which requires you to have an apple ID when you register it you should get one) and then try to update it but if that doesnt work let me know cause i know a differnt way to add music ....
Also my friend whos Ipod I am fixing was fine until he got to Itunes 7 two days ago now its being tri sexual....maybe theres a bug or something with Itunes 7

Sorry guys. I left out a major omission from my last post. The nano can now be recognised by iTunes 7 and I can upload music but only when it's in disk mode. I now have a diferrent problem in that when I reset the pod to take it out of disk mode, it won't turn on - it just keeps cycling round the apple logo over and over again....

i gave up with all the apple nonsense after a while....Now i use Media Monkey, which syncs with the ipod no probs....
MyComputer recognised it, but it wasnt recognised by either the updater or ITunes, so i just decided to go down the other route instead of tearing my hair out!!
free media monkey download at http://www.mediamonkey.com

Hey.. so i have a big problem.. So i had my ipod(5thgen) working perfectly for about a year now.. and all of a sudden all my songs are completely whiped off the ipod. So I go into itunes, and reupdate all the songs back on to the ipod.. when i unplug the ipod after itunes says its finished.. theres nothing there...??? my ipod is still completely blank.. i still have version 6 of itunes.. but i dont think that would make much of a difference.. Can anyone help me, it would be much appreciated.

Alright, I've literally tried everything on the Apple site and suggested here, yet none have worked. I'm having a hard time understanding the whole Limewire bit posted by Starchy aswell. If you could post it a little more.. clear for me, it would be much appreciated :]
