iTunes 7 error

My son just bought me a new iPod nano yesterday and I was suprised to see that it didn't come with iTunes, even though I already had iTunes 6 on my computer I tried to connect the two together. It gave me an error message and told me to upgrade to iTunes 7, I did that and after many installations and uninstallations I still can't get the program working. I would use version 6 again seeing that it works on my notebook but the nano only works with version 7.

Here's a screenshot of the error I keep recieving when I try to open the program.

 

Not exactly the same error message, but something to try : Link

 

Didn't work, thanks for helping anyway.
Anyone else know how to help fix this error? I currently have an iPod just sitting here with no music on it

 

I never had a Ipod so I wounld't know, but is there anyother software besides Itunes that you can load music to your Ipod?

 

I tried those plug-ins for Winamp to support iPods but they're the older models, I haven't found a new or recent one as of yet.

Also I fixed the error, it turns out I had to fully uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, remove all reg files and every file relating to iTunes in everyway possible.

 

Wow. Sounds as heinous as removing AOL.

 

Thats weird.
You do know you can drag files directly to the nano right?

 

It works like a drive? I thought you can drag files into it but it wont be read by the nano when trying to play the songs?

 

You are correct. When you mount the iPod in disk use mode, you can drop files on it for storage. But as with all iPods, music, photos, and audiobooks must be loaded using iTunes or the library database will not be altered to allow the iPod to read/recognize it.

 

uhh no.
I drag and drop files into an umodded nano and they play fine.
Just make sure you drop them into the correct folder.

*edit*
I dont' mean music that was bought off itunes. Just mp3's and stuff not protected by DRM.

 

Alrighty, then. Well, has never worked for me, and I'm just going off Apple's own support docs on the issue. Quote:

"You can also configure your iPod to appear as a hard drive on the desktop and manually drag files of any type to the iPod. Music files copied to the iPod in this way won't play on the iPod, without first copying them to a computer and importing them into iTunes, but this is useful for backing up or transporting any type of file. Please refer to "Using Your iPod as a Hard Disk" and "Putting iPod Into Disk Mode" for more information."

 

Never worked for me either. Another question though everyone.
I have the new 2nd Gen Nano, every time I plug it into my computer so I can send music to it through iTunes, at the top it says "Determining Gapless Playback Information" and then scrolls through all my songs before it allows me to actually send or delete something on the ipod. It normally takes up to 20-30 mins before I can actually do anything with it, does anyone know why? or what I can do?

 

I've been using that feature for quite sometime.

If you have it enabled correctly, it'll show up like so in My Computer:
