... or else you won't be able to save your file. Even if you chose a different filename! A possible workaround is to create a new file and copy & paste your content.

I spent the last days restarting, updating and googling to get my IPod Nano (5G) working on Windows XP (+ SP3). It was not recognized by Windows nor by iTunes. To get it work properly I had to

  • start "msconfig",
  • choose the "Startup" tab,
  • "Selective Startup",
  • "Service" tab,
  • check "Hide Microsoft services",
  • disable all services except "Apple Mobile Device" and "IPod Service",
  • and finally reboot windows.

Finally Windows XP found the IPod, reformated it with vfat32 and from that moment on it was correctly recognized everytime it was connected to the computer.
