Ipod nano 3rd generation wont connect with windows xp

Do you have iTunes ?
you need iTunes to transfer music to the iPod.
It should've come with it.

You can only sync an ipod with itunes software, it doesn't come with the ipod though.

Go here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/

On the right hand side it says itunes 7 Download now. That's the software you need to use with an ipod.

This seems to be a big problem. I guess it's just a ipod nano problem. I have the same thing:newest itunes version, 5 solutions won't help, It's fully charged, my computer wont read my ipod nano 4GB silver 3rd gen

This just helped me and I hope it helps you I found it on the Apple website. First you have to download iTunes and then hook up your Nano. After that a registration screen will appear but you cant do anything but click register later or this is what happened to me. So here's the solution I found and it worked for me.

What you're going to have to do is go into the Control Panel on your computer.

Go into "Appearance and themes." You're going to have to change the screen resolution. 1280x600 or so should do the trick.

Go back into iTunes and you should see the "continue" button on the far right. (Very scrunched up and annoying, I know. But it works!)

I hope that helps you out it sure did this frustrated mom.
