    So I played my nano on my friends speakers and something happened cause right after that I plugged into my Mac and it wont recognize it. The nano keeps charging but theres no icon in itunes or on the desktop showing its there. i tried doing what apple.com says which is reset the nano, restart computer, delete and download itunes, and it still wont recognize it. what should i do???

    help please
    thanks

    Are you trying to use a firewire cable to connect the iPod? That doesn't work and will only charge the iPod.

    Is this the iPod Updater in iTunes or is it a separate app? Since iTunes 7.0, iPod's firmware is managed through iTunes rather than the separate iPod Software Updater. :)
