iPod help

Just bought myself an Ipod and already need some help ;)
I want to upload music on it so as the instructions say I should first open Itunes and then connect my Ipod to my pc. I do this but Itunes doesn't give any reactions. Could somebody please help :)

Parent
I have bought one as well about 2 weeks ago and everything works fine.

iTunes always opens when I connect my iPod, so it even synchronise everything itself
but did you install some software first or? Because when I open my Ipod it looks like my pc can't see him :/
Parent
well the first time I connected my iPod some screen popped up, which was something in iTunes, to confirm that everything was fine.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.

Ow normally some windows screen should pop up as well, like hm 'New hardware found' blabla but normally your computer will recognise the iPod on it's own w/o the need of installing anything

yes this one popped so I said he should search for it but then the installationg doesn't work r smthng .. :/
Parent
does the iPod say anything like 'Verbonden - Verwijder voor loskoppeling'? after you put the cable in your pc...
Parent
Ipods are soo 2005
what do u use then ?
Parent
I use an ipod,but they break after one year,already on my second one.
Parent
i am using mine since big holidays in 2006, so :)
Parent
I think its just the way you use it.. got mine for 2 years now, still working fine
Parent
Prolly,i really do abuse my phones,ipods etc.
Had to get a new phone recently because i tryed to open a bottle with my other one :D
Parent
crummmo! I have mine about 4 years refurbished from apple, never broke :>
Parent
Is there some sort of warranty with them?
My 30gb video one broke after about 8 months.
Its charges and everything it just itunes doesnt recognise it,,
Parent
Im not sure I didnt get a warranty with mine because it was refurbished was half price tho so I didn't care. There's a place in town where you can get them fixed! My mate fixes them aswell he said there pretty easy to fix to
Parent

get rockbox for better music quality (its an other firmware than standart apple one).
Windows button + R

enter services.msc and press enter

Then find the Ipode service

Open its properties , put it on automatic and click on start
my PC says it was already started ..
Parent
restart pc?
Parent
already tried that =)
Parent
already solved fex ?
je hebt itunes openstaan
ipod met draad zit in pc
zet muziek van je gewone mappen naar itunes, in bibliotheek
en als je dan op synchroniseren drukt, dan doet ie niets?
« dutch »
Parent
waar staat synchroniseren?
Parent
als je je draad in de pc hebt gestoken
springt itunes automatisch op
en dan moet je na een tijd een naam voor je ipod ingeven, ja?
en als je dan muziek er op hebt staan,
dan klik je bij bestand->(naam van u ipod) synchronisern
« dutch »
Parent
kheb itunes effie afgezet en ipod draad er dan opnieuw ingestoken maar itunes opent niet vanzelf hoor :o
Parent
» You cannot post two comments in a row that fast.

En vindt de pc de ipod, by deze computer?
Parent
zie ge zo boven Afspeellijsten en onder Store zo'n sectie met 'Aparaten' daar staat uwen iPod normaal dan als da ni't geval is dan herkent iTunes uwen iPod ni en das vrij nefast ;x
Parent
just don't buy overhyped shit, which needs shit software to use it.
Did you insert and run the disc before connecting the ipod to the pc? If not, try that.
I didn't get a disc ..
Parent
because there is no disc..
Parent
just read down and saw you've got the newer model. I've got the 5g one and it had it a few years :P Try what Penn said.
Parent
Which ipod is it and what version of iTunes do you have?
ipod classic 80GB (video)
I think I have the latest Itunes version since I always download the new updates when they pop up
Parent
that might be the problem
i have also once downloaded a update, and since then i can't change music from my ipod
and the shopkeeper from the store also said, don't update the ipod, because that causes some problems
Parent
Get rid of iTunes completely, back up any music you need before hand.

Now go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download and install iTunes.

Once you have installed it, check for any updates by clicking on the help menu. If there are no updates, do a fresh reboot.

Open itunes again and go to edit > preferences and go to the syncing tab. Make sure that ipod syncing is not disabled.

Now add all of your music to iTunes (which may take a while depending on how much you have). Once your music is added, keep itunes open and plug in your ipod into your PC.

IGNORE the windows prompts to install software for the device, just cancel the prompts from windows.

Now, if your ipod is still not showing up in iTunes you're fucked! :)

Send it back and get a new one.
Parent
just done what you said but it looks like itunes still can't find my iPod. (I don't know if it matters but when I redownloaded and reinstalled itunes my music was already in itunes when I opened it for the first time. And on my iPod I can read the following : "Connected, eject before disconnecting.")
Parent
With your ipod still plugged in, go to the bottom right in the windows task bar and double click the box with the green arrow.

It should have a USB device listed as your ipod. Select stop and your ipod should be disconnected. Now plug it back in and see what happens.
Parent
have done a few things and it works now :) Thx a lot for your help it certainly was useful!
Parent
How did you fix it in the end?
Parent
well when I connected my iPod to my PC he asked me to install some stuff, so I did that but during the download he said "if u continue this download hardware could get damaged so you'd better cancel it blabla ..) so i cancelled it. But yesturday I was so desperate that I clicked yes continue and it worked ;p
Parent
deinstall drivers and reinstall... somewhere in your device manager in windows. seems like your drivers are failing so a reinstall is the best. Also try to find the drivers on the apple iPod website and install them, Windows sux with their new hardware wizard.. most hw isnt supported or will not get installed properly.
If your iPod software is fucked there is no way to fix it if you cant access the iPod.

So then just open window and toss iPod like I said before. xD
windows explorer ??

oO
=<

this is why im like >:E about getting one.

i think im going to go for a zune. i trust microsoft support and warrenty..

but yeah.. idk mate - ive had two ipods but sold shortly after (money making ftw ;D!)
Sync your ipod with Itunes!
Buy Iphone no probs
Yea Id say you need to remove the ipod itself from windows first, then plug it back into a different USB port so windows doesn't reckonise it, then see what happens when you plug it back in.
You have to put your music in itunes (do some playlist) after put to "syncronise" if itunes doesn't see your popod just restart it.
How can I "syncronise" ?
Parent
1st: get rid of iTunes shizzle
2nd: install Media Monkey
