Hi all, been having troubles with my nano. Basically, USB simply freezes it on connection to the computer, and it cannot be restarted unless connected via FireWire. Obviously data sync is not supported via FW, I get that message, but at least that powers it up. Still, USB freezes it up and it doesn't appear in iTunes, Finder or anything else. I will retry Disk Utility however; until then I'm charging it up via FW, and was wondering if anybody has any tips on what could be the problem. The iPod is Windows formatted (I don't usually use it) but it's just now docked to my iBook G4 @ 10.4.9 with iTunes 7.4.2. Not sure about the Windows box; presumably XP with iTunes 7. Cheers
 
Have you tried using a different USB port or a different cable? Is it going through a hub? :)

There's no hub, but I have used one cable with the PC and one with the Mac. Gonna try again now, it's fully charged. ... looks like nothing but we'll see.
all I can get is Use iTunes to Restore in 5 languages... nothing in Disk Utility iTunes or System Profiler. What now?
