    Hook it up to your PC/Mac with a USB cable (do you have that provided with the Nano) and use iTunes. There you'll be able to pull up the muisc on the Nano and do a reset/format if necessary.

    Hi
    If you want to save some of that music before you sync/format the iPod then there was a program suggested to do this, you can save the files to a folder on your computer.
    Look at post #3 here:-http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1868859&highlight=

  • Thanks both of you! I've followed the link to the user guides and, from the pics, it looks like a second generation. I've got a white USB lead with it. I'll have a read now and look at the programme mentioned - thanks again.

  • Mike - can you actually read that site or have you just learned how to use it?

    That's because Apple has the inconvenience of having to pay the artists royalties for the sale of their music.
