Pretty much all you do is double-click that .ipsw file, iTunes verifies the .ipsw, extracts the .com files inside and then starts installing the operating system for you. Make sure it is for the 3G nano you got from the website - I get all my firmwares from that site.

    You could try holding the Menu and Centre button together until the iPod restarts. When that happens, immediately hold the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons and choose Manual > Disk Mode.

    Either that or plug it in, leave it alone for a good 12 hours and see what happens. Usually the battery after five months does run out. If you can't get it to do anything, can you get Apple to do something with it?


    I did try the disk mode and double clicking stuff, but still it's not recognized. The iPod itself does work, it's just not recognized by iTunes. I'm using this little piece of software right now: http://www.poddox.com/ , seems to work

    Looks like it can do the job for now. But why it doesn't show up in iTunes is a mystery...You know what? I'm just trying things for you - I've never used a nano, ever. Every other iPod I've used, so this is just pure guesswork.

    OK...here's something else. It sounds dangerous but this guy says it can be done. And down the page seems to be more solutions and ideas which you can try. If in all honesty it has failed, take it back to where you got it or call Apple and see what they can do.

    Any way that I can help you if you need it is great. Ah well, let us know if they worked whenever you try it out.
  5. Think i'm gonna try a Samsung NC10 netnook. Looks good, well specced, not too expensive, big hard-drive. Lack of DVD burner is a vummer but how else could they keep weight and price down? And an external one will only cost a few quid. I'll also prefer the familiarity of XP over linux.

    Inline volume control would be a nice addition though


    Okay, will do! That's great that they will block out a lot of the outside noise, often I listen to it in the car.

    I was looking at the headphones on the Apple website a few days ago, and there was a headphone with the volume control, and a sound recorder (mainly for voice memos, etc.). But they cost $79, a bit much for a pair of headphones in my opinion.
  7. Drew, that poddox thing didn't work. I followed the link and formatted and it's now fine, iTunes recognized it but said you need to restore, so I'm getting the software now

    Awesome to hear that it's all going, in time for No Line On The Horizon!


  10. Yep. Either that or for the new single. I'm still at a loss as to why iTunes stopped recognizing it.


  11. I remembered when I read that apple link you gave me, a few months back, right by the time I stopped using it...it was working fine, I would connect it load it with stuff and take it with me, then one day when I connected it suddenly windows gave me this message that the drive needs to be formatted. I didn't do it because I had lots of my university project files on it, and it survived, but iTunes wouldn't recognize it anymore.
  12. I got that with my classic numerous times. No more problems now...it's been passed down.

    No such problems with the touch. All that does is sit there on the Apple logo if something is wrong. It's easy to fix if you know how.
