Well I haven't downloaded a new song to my Ipod for a while and I recently tried. I have come to find out that it isn't being recognized. It doesn't show in device manager. I am running XP, & I am pretty sure that I have the SP2 add-on. It does charge however, & my USB memory key works fine in the same port so what gives?? Anyone else experience this ??? I'm going on vacation soon & I'd rather not drive 6+ hours without a fresh Ipod.

 

Please , don't get too upset, but

This is why you should get a Mac !


anyway, just for the fun of it, power off and try a different usb port.

 

I've heard of older Ipods not working well with newer versions of Itunes. You would be better off expanding your search to google for help.

 

Is it charged? I bought a used iPod from someone and the battery was completely discharged. iTunes wouldn't recognize the device until I charged it with an AC adapter.

 

good call

 

Thanks for the replies !!
Tac-M no offense taken : )

Ipod Status = new
Charger = new
Reboot = still no worky
Recharge = still no worky
Reinstall Itunes = still no worky

It does charge & play perfectly however.

 

Hmmm... do u have all of teh mp3's backed up? If so just restore it to default, had that happned once, restoring fixed it.

 

Please help...I just want to listen to Bob Marley on the beach

You probably already tried looking here, but I have found a lot of helpful answers. It does take a bit of time though.

 

Problem solved....Thanks for everyone's help. I was about to panic

 

what happened? and what did you do to fix it?

 

I did the reset procedure about 3 times, I also found out that I have a short in my USB cable. Go figure

 

for future reference, go to the forums on ipodlounge.com. all the problems you may or will have are covered in the forums. possibly the greatest ipod resource ever.

 

Thanks!!
