Hi Ester. Now, all we have to deal with is the language barrier.

somehow set to simplified chinese but I did a restore and hope that

it.
Even if you set the language to simplified Chinese, how were you able
to tell which language was chosen? To set the language to English for
a blank (restored or new) iPod Nano 4G, move your finger around the
click wheel ALL the way counterclockwise. You will only be able to
hear clicks if you move your finger clockwise around the wheel from
this position, and when you move counterclockwise you will only hear
clicks until you hit the limit. That is where you want to stop, and
is the position for English (U.S.).
Press the center of the iPod Nano 4G wheel to select this.
I should have sent you my instructions to (one of the multiple list
members named) Scott. After my iniitial set up, I ran a cable from
the iPod Nano 4G to the LineIn jack on my MacBook (the port just
behind the headphone jack, if you move along the left side of the
MacBook from the front towards the back and the screen). I got the
LineIn freebie from the Rogue Amoeba pages and ran the Nano output to
my MacBook speakers. Made it easy to hear the churning noise when the
Nano synced and when it downloaded the software update. (You have to
crank up the volume on the speakers, and you set the Input from the
Built-in Input: Line In and the Output to Default System Output, then
press Pass Thru which is, I think, a button, but gets reported as a
check box). Anyway, you can leave the iPod connected and charging, and
play with its menus and listen to them spoken through the speakers of
your Mac this way.
Hope progress is being made.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi David,
Sounds like iTunes has locked up your processor. Try using Command-
Option-Escape to Force Quit iTunes. You may have to wait before it
responds and you can press return. Keep the iPod connected, and start
up iTunes again. I'm guessing that your initial registration went
through, and that you will connect up OK and see the device pages
once you stop interacting with the source table and VO-right twice.
Cheers,
Esther
