PC not recognising Ipod - help?

[Lynn]

Hi, I have a 20GB Ipod which has been working fine with Itunes on my PC
(running XP). All of a sudden, though, Itunes doesn't recongise it. I
can find it on the PC and the Ipod itself says Do Not Disconnect and
appears to be charging, so they physical connection seems to be there
(I've tried this with the firewire and USB connections and neither
works).
I have updated Itunes, but when I try to update the Ipod itself using
the Ipod updater, once it's downloaded, the updater either comes up
with all of the options greyed out or I get an error 1327.Invalid Drive
D: while it's trying to download (the Ipod's firewire drive is E)
Any ideas on what could be wrong with it? I'd really appreciate any and
all help.

Thanks, Lynn

hy Lynn,
the Problem is that the Ipod sometimes hangs.
The only way to bring him back is to full reconfigure him.
I don't recognize the full way but it can be read in the manual
you have to hold down a button and at the same time you have to connect
it with the powersupply.

Can't offer any help except to say you're not the only one.

40-gig iPod/Windows 2000. The thing got flaky, then a few days later couldn't
connect at all - even as a disk drive.

Fooled around with it (reinstalled it's system about 3 times, reinstalled
iTunes....and so-forth) for about four weeks; finally broke down and bought a
60-gigger when I found how much it would cost to repair.

Got the 60-gigger home, loaded it up..... thought I'd give the 40-gig one last
try and....guess what?.... Worked like a charm.

That was two months ago.

Just last week the 40-gigger got weird on me again.

I'm guessing something with Windows 2000.... maybe something in an automatic
system update...

It will be Microsoft making sure that protected .wma wins in the end.

You're much more likely to get help at http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
Don't overlook the links to "community discussions" at the lower right.

Sorry, this is uk.comp.sys.mac so you ought to expect replies along the
lines of "There's nothing wrong with the iPod. Your computer, however,
probably has a virus."

Cheers,

Also your teeth need repolarising.

No. Just no. Don't make me laugh. This has nothing to do with some
Microsoft conspiracy.

It has everything to do with Apple not making iPod support simple and
effective.

[we are]

read the Manuel you got with I-POD you have to reset it

to reset

1. i-pod toggle the hold switch on and off (set it to hold then turn it off
again)

2. press and hold the select and menu buttons for at least 6 seconds until
Apple logo appears

(this sometime take abit of time to get it right but it does work but you do
lose all the data on your pod)
