Title: IPod Nano and MC11
Post by: ReTango on November 06, 2005, 01:56:04 pm

Hi,
Have installed Media Center 11.1.49 (win XP). Connected a Nano to my PC, and transferred some files from MC11 to the Nano. Files did nor appear on the Nano. Plugged it again, and saw that when I select from "Drived and Devices" the nano and browsed it, MC showed the files. So I tried to "rebuild database" or something like that (right click on mouse, cant say exactly since cant plug the nano again). When finished, I selected "eject device". And now the nano shows the apple sign, turns off - apple sign, turns off - apple sign, turns off. I cant make it stop. The computer does not recognize it. I resetted it severdal times, and just keeps doing the same. As I told you, I´m in panic. Cant restore it, since my PC dows not recognize it as a USB. Cant´turn it off completely. dont know what to do.

Thanks,
Alejandro

After 10-15 minutes and some 30 nano resets, nano suddenly opened in "disk mode" (never saw it before) and I was able to restore it.

did you 'initialize' your iPod within MC before you started transfering files?

no i dont think i did... i plugged the ipod, a pop up appeared asking if i wanted to use the ipod with mc. I accepted and set the synchronization settings to "manually transfer tracks". the clicked "handheld player" in the action window, dropped files and clicked "transfer". it took some time, and it appeared that the files did transfer indeed (th amount of free space diminished..). but i could not find them on the ipod, so i right clicked on the ipod and selected Rebuild Database on Ipod... and then it broke down... I sweated for 30 mins!!!

Are you able to successfully transfer files to your Nano using other applications like iTunes?

yes, it works with itunes. a user just made a thread explaining how to exit the on-off loop on the ipod nano - photo, so the problem is not so serious as i thought it was the first time (when i though i had to trash the nano!). will try again with the latest version of mc11 to see if it works..

If you are going back and forth between iTunes and iPod, wait and get the next version of MC 11.1 as additional work has been done in this area to improve interoperability.
