Ipod Nano Video (short fat model) doesnt work with my CDE-9852

Try eBay: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/alpine-ipod-cable
or Amazon for specific cables

maybe coz itunes is not installed in your system,if it is,the ipod device service may have been diabled,enable this service to make itunes detect the palyer for you...

When you synced to a newer version of iTunes, everything was fine, until you connected the nano and
the touch, which worked fine, and then you tried the 30 GB again and it would not work, right?

Upgrade the software in the 30GB, not with your original 30GB disks, but with newer disks supplied NOW
by Apple, since iTunes went to version 8.1.1 and everything should be back in sync.

Have you tried resetting it? Press the center (Select) button and the Menu button at the same time and hold for at least 10 seconds or until you see it reset.

hope this may help;

Have you tried installing the ipod program cd from your ipod on a separate file. Under a different username? It may be conflicting with the older model ipod protocols. If that dosen't work try going to apple.com for further assistance.

Start with these five simple solutions: Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, or restore
