Ok I have had this nano since Christmas last year, it has worked perfectly fine through multiple versions of iTunes and the iPod software. Out of the blue, when I tried to plug the iPod in the other day I received an error (shown below) saying how the USB item was not recognised. It had full battery at the time and iTunes did not connect to the iPod at all.
I have tried:
- Trying different USB ports
- Following "the 5 R's" from the apple site. The only one of these I didn't try was impossible since it requires the iPod to be connected
- System restore to before the problem started (I was getting desperate here)
- Searching google for 3 days... I cannot find an identical problem with a solution
