iPod nano (1st gen) in recovery mode loop
I have put an extensive amount of time into trying to get my daughter's iPod Nano (1st gen) out of this recovery mode loop to no avail. I have read about and tried all the most obvious solutions and nothing has gotten her Nano to get out of this loop.
I cannot re-map the drive -- Windows doesn't give me that option. I see and know how to change the drives but Disk Manager says this disk is "unreadable". I have forced the Nano into disk mode and again, cannot work with it.
THis whole problem arose after we upgraded to iTunes 7. There was no other change to the device (no mis-treatment...). It holds its battery charge, no problem. In a nutshell, it's a perfectly good, well-taken-care-of iPod Nano that has jammed b/c of Apple's 7.0 upgrade. We're a 4 iPod family and no one else's device reacted to 7.0 but hers.
Please help! How else can I get this iPod stable again?
Thanks,
