1. You have damaged the USB port of your PC. Try in other USB port or other computer to check if the Ipod is recognized.
2. The USB cable is damaged. Try another one.
3. The ipod has either damaged the main board or the dock connector port. Ther is not solution but replace the damaged part and it needs to be done by somebody that knows how to do it.
4. Sometimes the dock connector port is dirty. Using a magnifier with light, you can check if this is the case. If so, blowing compressed air will remove the dust and dirty, or if there is something liquid (such coke residues), you can use a dry and clean rag or napkin will do the work, but you have to do it very carefully so you won't bend or damage the metal contacts.

This happens some times the computer has lost the record that the ipod was synced with this computer.
Because the ipod can only be synced with one computer at a time your are getting this message.
if you look in your itunes music library and all the muisc is still there then choose the "erase and sync option" this will erase the ipod and re- sync with this computer -
if your muisc is gone you have a much larger problem you need to search your computer for your missing music then add it back to itune when you find it by :
In itunes you go to the upper left to : File > add Folder to Library > and choose the folder the music is in this will re- add your music to the libray then you can " "erase and sync"
If all you music is gone off your computer a only on your ipod your going to have to download a free ipod rip program to remove all you muisc and put it back into your library. there are free ones you can downalod but they are hard to find I have used www.ipodrescue.com and it worked for me
Done try to sync...... u see the options when u connet ipod....just put the ipod in to disc mode. and then just drag mp3 tracks u want to load on your ipod......... doing sync will just update from itunes which ever songs listed....... its better to drag and load songs in your ipod..... for that u need to put ipod in to disk mode.... hope this help u.
this happened to me too with my iTouch. i had to plug it into my comp, quickly stop it from syncing, then i went under the tab on the left for my iPod. when i set it to manual syncing, it fixed the problem, but then you'll have to do everything by hand. if you want to keep it automatic, i think you'll have to let it format.
Connect your ipod, refuse the delete and sync. Make sure you get rid of all the sync options and check 'Manually manage music and videos'. Click on music, search for what you want and drag and drop onto iPod icon.
1) Disconnect from computer, turn it off, hold in volume + button and reconnect it to your computer - continue holding volume + until the Found Hardware Wizard comes up. 2)
REFORMAT FOR WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER - Erases Everything: Connect your iLo player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "ILO 2GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything, and give you a fresh start.
