ok i got this ipod nano 8GB 1.0.1 firmware version and i have windows vista home premium sp1 641 and i dont know why this piece of crap does not recognize my ipod!!!
whats he got?
XP?
just fiddle around with it and it will eventually work
for example uninstall and reinstall itunes.
try updating you usb drivers (usually thats not the problem because vista does it automaticalY)
just stuff like that.
