okay i finally had itunes recognize my ipod and it ask if i want to register but the window doesn't expand to the register button. I tries tab but no luck.
Sorry, it's a long time since I used Windows for any length of time, I've looked it up for you. You'll find the information on this Microsoft page: Windows XP - How To change your screen resolution
When I try to register my new iPod nano, everything works fine except at the end (after saying "OK" to the free content), I get a pop up message in iTunes that says "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The requested resource was not found. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." I've been trying every couple of hours for about 14 hours now. It acts like the page that I'm being directed to no longer exists. And when I eject my iPod and close iTunes, the next time I plug it in, it tries to register it again, which means I'm not getting registered.
