When I ran the set up (with an initial sync, but with less than the capacity of the player in my iTunes library), I monitored what was happening by using VO-up arrow twice to get to the Status Window. (Actually, I just quickly use VO-right arrow until I found this, but I think if you VO- up twice you hear "Full Volume Button and then the Status Window. Alternatively, if you VO-right, this comes after the "Previous", "Play", and "Next" buttons). You have to move off and on this window to hear current status as things update. If you get "Busy" messages you may not be able to move your cursor this way. What happens now. Does the window say "Idle"? Could you eject the iPod in the source table (Command-E) and, (only) if it then disappears from the source list, unplug the USB connector and reconnect it? Then you could stop interacting in the source table and VO-right twice to see whether you can detect the device again. You should come onto the Summary page that gives you the serial number, device properties and capacity, and current usage information. There will also be an options section where you can check the boxes for your sync preferences and check that the box to enable spoken menus is enabled. You'll probably have checked: Open iTunes when this iPod is connected Sync only checked songs and videos Enable spoken menus for accessibilty. and leave the options to manually manage music and videos and enable disk use unchecked. Once you make the changes, VO-right to the button to "Update". Don't sync yet because you need to select/check the content you want synced on the tabs fro Music, Podcasts, etc. At that point you can go through the tab setups for Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, etc and set your preferences for what to sync. VO- right to each tab and press (VO-space) to select. HTH Cheers, Esther On Sep 22, 2008, at 9:45 AM, David Poehlman wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm having a bit of a time setting up m nano.
