Why doesn't my laptop recognise my ipod nano that I just bought?

Question

Anything to do with Windows Vista?

Answer 1

Have you downloaded iTunes yet?  It might not read the nano until you do.  Also, you hooking it up directly to the usb or through a hub, if through a hub try hooking up directly to the laptop.

Answer 2

Well I can use it with Windows Vista...have you downloaded itunes?

Answer 3

Perhaps because, since iPod is an Apple thing, you can't use it with Windows because it's only meant to be compatible with an Apple computer?
