| 1173670 | 2011-01-30 07:24:00 | Have been approached about how to add music to this. The nano runs fine, plays music etc, but when you plug it into a computer (PC), it does not register. No prompt for drivers, cannot be found by the latest iTunes. As far as the computers concerned... it doesn't exist. Have tried this on 3 computers (including Linux) and one 6 month old Asus laptop. Not one of them see it. Even re-installing iTunes does nothing. The nano is fully charged - so I know its not that. Anyone else struck this? Have a fix? All OS's are 32bit - except for the Linux machine. I see online that 64-bit has major issues with it. |

| 1173673 | 2011-01-30 19:35:00 | should be under warranty? take it back for a replacement | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1173674 | 2011-01-30 20:53:00 | Could be the cable if you're using USB. Since no computer can see it I take it, you're using a USB cable / or dock? |

| 1173675 | 2011-01-31 00:07:00 | Thing is, when you plug it in; the nano lights up so I don't think it's the cable. Also, the nano connects to another local computer and syncs no problem. I intend catching up with the owner as he knows ipods inside out, I know next to nothing about them. There must be something he is doing that I am missing |

| 1173676 | 2011-01-31 00:11:00 | Does it have the hold / lock switch on it like some older Ipods? Maybe its on. If it is, It needs to be switched the other way. The PC's it wont work on, I take it youre plugging it into the USB port not a hub? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I intend catching up with the owner as he knows ipods inside out, I know next to nothing about them. There must be something he is doing that I am missing Could still be cable. The cable might have power but no data (I can clarify if you don't get what I mean). Also are your USB drivers installed/up to date? |

| 1173678 | 2011-01-31 05:37:00 | OK... it is the cable - TY to SWMBO ... (who happened to read the lil tag on the cable which reads "Charge Only") :eek: So yeah, I found out tonight that you can get 2 cables which look exactly the same: one you can transfer data with, and the other is for charging ONLY. Sounds pretty screwed up but yeah... Good going icow and Speedy by the way :D |
