K so, 1. Connect iPod and hold center, or side buttons for 10 secs non stop (on the iPod), this should reset your iPod ID connection, if this doesant work then, 2. Look to see if you have any printing devices installed on your computer these interfere with the iPod and CPU's connectivity, if you do happen to have a printer or similar software simply disable it for the time being by disconnecting the cables, then plug iPod, if problem persists then my final step is, 3. A driver has seriously had trouble locating the iPod, this can be a very technical and risky process so please be sure you know what your doing before doing this step, now click Run and type the following "devmgmt.msc", click enter, Windows Device Manager should pop up, now time to get technical; make sure your iPod is connected and then click the drop down list labeled "Disk drivers" check to see if you have anything which says "Apple" in its hardware name, if you do then thats a good sign, if you dont then im afraid my help ends here, now if you spot an "apple" related driver i.e. Apple iPod USB device etc, then click it and do either the following, you can disable it and then re-enable it to see if it makes a difference or you could simply update it, if neither of these work then unistall it (the DRIVER) and re-download iTunes all over again, reconnect iPod and if all goes well the new DRIVER will be allocated and you should be connected, if not then i tried my best, i can still assist you at my email, its beastonthebloc@googlemail.com as mentioned above, -B.O.T Alexis and Linz, i have 3 alternatives to solve your problems, whether these will solve them is another matter, i hope they do any how.
